You should make a video about the best sources of memes. I've been using /r/dankmemes, but its not really great.

This might sound stupid but hear me out. You'll find the best memes if you just look into communities. Over time you'll have seen more memes, and be able to discern the truly great, and more will pop up for you.

I dunno, but I experienced this with JoJokes. And you can judge me how you want for that, but if you look at surface-level JoJokes, yes some definitely died and many try too hard with them. Look a little deeper in the whole JoJo community and they start to get danker and people "respect" them and know how to use them somewhat more. People start putting more effort into them. And after some point with my investment in that series, anytime I would look for a JoJo image, I'd always find myself in a rabbit hole of fanart leading to some more "funny" fanart, then memes, and sometimes that leads to some truely golden images. I wouldn't have that experience or find most of that by just following a couple of sources.

This isn't a JoJo promotion, again judge that series how you want, but I do think my logic follows the outsider/normie thing Emp has talked about once. You have to look for the dankest memes and shitposts. Another great source of these that I experienced is GameFAQs; certain boards make truly dank posts and communities, certain topics and users become memes within those, and I could link to literal dozens of meme-worthy topics I've seen on certain boards over the years, although that site goes through waves of dankness and is currently definitely in a lull.

You seriously just have to look, and yes, another thing is that meme sources will change over the years.

rodrick160 for reddit I'm a big fan of surreal memes, deep fried memes, nuked memes, black holes memes, bone hurting juice and comedy necrophilia, among others, although they're all a bit weirder than dankmemes

Oh fuck it’s been 5 years. What happened


Trump should be higher on this list, he created the 2016 meme revolution if you like him or not. It turned truly mainstream when political channels started doing meme review-esque timeslots.


2016 was a good year for memes and game grumps that's literally fucking it everything else was shit

Harambe was so fucking normified that I heard about it during basic training for the army through both letters I received from normies, and through glimpses of the news in the dfac. That and Pokemon GO, which I'm glad I missed because I would have lost all respect for some of my friends who played it religiously.

I think Dat Boi is a comment on the obsession with celebrities, even if there is nothing special about them... Or if there IS something special, it's totally superficial. Dat Boi is the yodeling kid, but seen from a condescending perspective.

Паскар Алексей


He lists all the used songs in the description of the video


Awesome music choices, dude! This video is just so well edited, and clever on every point, every second is a clever reference or joke that works in the context.


2016 was the golden age of memes, and unfortunately it seems to have ended.


I didn't think I'd enjoy a half hour discussion on memes as much as I did. It's actually pretty interesting to see them analyzed in a semi-serious way like this.  Great work man.


So... beautiful... so beautiful. My eyes could barely take it. My mouth spread into a grin at the last meme on the list. And my blood boiled with dankery throughout the whole thing.


I'm glad someone finally mentioned Progressive Rock for once. It deserves more respect and I honestly wish it was as popular as dank memes.


Alright, be honest. Who else here finds Emp's voice to be EXTREMELY entertaining to listen to? :D

Alright, be honest. Who else here finds Emp's voice to be *_EXTREMELY_* entertaining to listen to? :D


I'm hoping we'll get another one of these in 2017.


The intro for number 5 was just too good


I like the not-so-subtle "UN Owen Was Her" insert...


Hey, Emp. Most of these memes seem to become outdated, so I need to ask you this....

Is it REALLY ogre?... for real?


The series that "To be continued" stems from (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) actually kicks ass and everyone should go watch and read it right now. That ending music choice is a result of the creator's love for progressive rock. There are all sorts of other references throughout too.

Also it has its own meme circles.


The first few were pretty dank, but everything after was too philosophical for my taste of memes


I just watched a 30 minute video on memes. What a time to be alive


Dank memes are the new (good part of) postmodernism.


this is literally one of the best videos on the internet.


you should make another one of these in the end of 2017


I'm telling you all... this year, I predict the cat in the hat will overthrow let it grow later on.


28:53 The Pepe Slann made me lose my shit, it's too damn good for us mere mortals.


20:46 is where behind the meme sneaks in


Your videos make me think I'm high when I'm not.


Feel Good Inc is an underrated dank meme.


my favourite Roundabout meme was the song being played on rock band and the meme happened right at the perfect time


The thumbnail reminds me of playing a combat video game and seeing the playable characters on the selection screen.


your use of pink floyd is flawless in every video


How many hours per week do you dedicate making all of these videos!?


I like how you used big smokes voice lol


tfw this was actually really interesting to watch


probably the best top 10 I have ever seen.


Will we have meme professors now? If EmperorLemon becomes the first professor of memeism, I will be his follower and make sure to major in that in college.

That piano version of U.N. Owen Was Here is fucking great.


10:04 1: it didnt created a new genre, it made it mainstream (it have been aroud for like 10 years)
2: the name is word replacement videos/edits


How does a meme coming from an anime knock it down a peg. Like, great video but that part confused me.


HIS NAME IS REVEALED IN THIS VIDEO Im sure he already revealed it


i really like your cumpilations so much I subscribe twice


How the hell did We Are Number One lose to DAT BOI?!


just know e.l. in a way the memes can never die [# memes are immortal!!!]


The amount of Gorillaz and Pink Floyd in this video pleases me. That's not all of the importance this video represents for me, it's just one of the most notable things to me.

And Waiting for the Worms is the best song you could have possibly used for the Triggered meme.


it's a disgrace to see harambe on this list, i'm depressed now


The Harambe thing went on at my school well until November.


Arrival is fucking amazing. Easily in the top 50 movies ever. Maybe even top 20.


Shit, I said "peep the frog" all my life, am I wrong? I feel like a fucking normie


Uhh, To Be Continued actually originated from the band Yes with Roundabout...


the real winning meme is You Reposted In The Wrong Neighborhood. Best song of 2016


Once you get to 11:14, you can skip to 12:50 if you don't want to see the ad break.


I used dat boi in a school project in 2016, my teacher wasn't happy


We have entered a meme golden age that will only last as long as Kek himself. Kek brought the dawn, but he will also bring the night. The down fall of this golden age will be brought by Kek's female form, Keket. This is true, but how it will happen remains to be seen. Maybe the normies that Kek rose to oppose he will join and be used to bring a new darkness to memes?


Shooting stars has been the best meme so far this year


Have you heard of the bowling green massacre?


I honestly loved Dat Boi. It's a shame it died.


It's obvious, Robbie rotten is the best of 2016

I watched idubbz before he even had 100k subs when all he made were videos about the game Overgrowth.


also are we not going to acknowledge that a fucking pokemon was a dank meme in 2016?


you gotta love it when people call trump racist, when Hillary literally said "lets put a taco truck on every corner" when talking about immagration


As a Progressive anti-SJW, I honestly don't think it's getting away from the left as a whole as it is political correctness. Many on the left have made sure to distance themselves from it because they too see it as toxic and deplorable. I think when it comes down to it, the SJWs were NEVER going to be successful, as their ideology was too hateful towards large populations of people (whites and males to name the most hated). So, I think that because the only candidate to call out the PC bullshit was Trump, an obvious winner was chosen. Now, if a left-leaning candidate were to call out PC bullshit (safe spaces, trigger warnings, etc), then I think we could see another instance of that candidate winning.

tl;dr this isn't a movement away from the left, it's a movement away from political correctness.


The real number one: your ascending videos


i didnt even realize but i stopped the video at 13:37


Yo, I like the idea that you pushed, but i think the evidence almost says the opposite. dank nenes are the product, not the producer.

Take that with a grain of salt though, this is the internet.


funny how you play Pink floyd's the wall over talking about how amazing trump and the right is when the members of Pink floyd hate Trump and the right

What the fuck did you just say about jojo??????? Lord be with araki and the Aztec gods of fitness.


im about to look at number one and if its the bottle flip im unaubscribing and disliking this video.


I never found the 2016 Presidential Election funny at all even 'with' Donald Trump. I simply just found his statements just 'dumb' and left it as that. And the sheer repetition of his own name is the equivalent to Wallace Breen in Half Life 2. Where just seeing him for the billionth time, just sends me in rage and fury saying the same thing. "Why doesn't this joke end?", and this joke made me legitimately hate politics in general for this reason.


8:23 unsubbed blocked anime is the greatest gift to humankind delete this video


Is that a jojo reference meme its f*cking anoying. Stop just, stop.


What show was the number transitions from? It was an old animal planet show, right?

Traj what was the translated show called

I don't know the original title, because I was watching the translated version in my country


Number 5 background music is Cult of Personality if anyone cares


Great video! But I don't agree with people respecting Trump just coz he respects meme culture. Would you respect Hitler if he respected memes?! He prob would of used memes if they were around back then!

People do respect Trump because he respected meme culture and Hitler already has a lot of people that like him (Notably former axis countries and nations that were enemies of Hitler's targets) and has a variety of memes centered around him.


both US candidates were shit, trump is only cooler and more dank. im glad he won.


Now do top 10 old memes. Then dont do anymore top 10s, other wise unsubscribes.


emp lemon I have to say I'm rather impressed with the amount of thought and time you invested into making this list and this video. I can happily say to you that I will NOT unsub even if that's what you want cause regardless if you don't make frying dory I can honestly say without a dought that you still make good content on your channel


I didn't know that things from the last year could make me feel so nostalgic...


Loving the Gorillaz content in this. So hyped for the new album.


That top 3 is spot on, I wasn't expecting the #1 at all


Video wasn't too long, it wasn't long enough. I loved this video beyond reason.


I think 2016 was so bad we needed a meme revolution so we could cover up our creeplin depression and anxiety with Dank memes


This is a very analytical video about 2016 memes and I love it.


I have watched this video about 5 times, this is one of the greatest top ten lists on the internet


absolutely phenomenal... one of the best videos I've ever seen on youtube (no sarcasm)


2017 might be the last year we as humans will ever experience. After that, we will all die


So wait if you know the memes, and get most of them, does that mean your an ascended meme lord?


This video is probably one of the most epic things on the entire internet.


i feel like there should be a memeology class in colleges


I've never known a shitposter who seems so hugely intellegent and creative. I'm not being sarcastic, I seriously look up to you haha


This video's great. You should be proud of it.


This was amazing and all but...<br>the absence of Windows XP is surprising to me.

My favorite part was the gabe newell interview parody because i never saw anyone else reference it before


"Autism has become an epidemic" is a legendary line.


As a great man once said, "4chan won the election."


I remember when you used Harambe for the first time.  I was just thinking it would be a little one-off joke. Oh how wrong I was.


Why do homework when you could watch this? I loved this video and agree that memes actually have an effect on people. My friend group basically speaks in meme.


Holy shit emp...... the ending got deep REAL FAST


I see Dat Boi as an indictment of memes as a whole. The fact that it's so asinine and formulaic just exposes what an asinine formula the call-and-response meme is. Spreading Dat Boi was a way of making fun of the status quo, and thereby helping to destroy it.


Is anyone else happy that he put Feel Good INC in the background?


Shrek will always be the dankest meme in my heart


Dude, Cult of Personality while talking about the personal implications of commentary channels? Pure genius. That was really clever.


Now THAT was a good YouTube video. 10/10


vaporwave is not just a meme its a lifestyle


i like how you used a Gorillaz song for Harambe XD


I still love that Roundabout Jojo's Bizare Adventure parody. ;)


Now THIS video earned you a new sub sir. Triggered/420 on the dank levels.


do you feel bad about making this? I would have a giant knot in my throat after talking about memes for 26 minutes.


>Crawling in my Crawl
5:27 I really lost it.  That segment perfectly captures the essence of cringeworthyness.


How in the fuck did you not make "We Are Number 1" number 1? It is by far the greatest and most well meaning meme that the internet has ever produced and it would have been so fitting for obvious reasons.


love the Pink Floyd usage in the video :)


Is it normal for me to be laughing at this?


Now that I think about it he kinda sounds like that Behind The Meme guy


I didn't unsubscribe! I like your content! it's cool!😊


Macintosh Plus, Gorrilaz and Pink Floyd? You sir, have great music taste.


Sad that we are number one was not, in fact, number one on this list. Great job anyway.


I love 6 minute-long midroll adverts for Hewlett Packard.

For anyone wondering what the music is at 14:33 it's Living Color - Cult of Personality but a 16 bit chiptune remix I believe.

*For anyone wondering what the music is at **14:33** it's Living Color - Cult of Personality but a 16 bit chiptune remix I believe.*

It's incredibly accurate to the original song.


HOLY FUCK DID I HEAR FEEL GOOD INC. IN THIS VIDEO


This video was just long enough, before I had to leave.


Best thing I've seen. only 2 things  "but-edits" should be in one category. And ear rape should've been a category as well. But it still was a 10/10 video.


Man, I never thought I'd see one of those irate gamer Ripoff drama videos again. Good reference.


My favorite youtubers by leaps and bounds.


So relating to the number one spot, I just recently played Just cause 3, I know it is 2 years old, but  hear me out. If you know any plot of the game, a dictator by the name of Di Revello of a fiction country of Medici sought world domination. Medici had this element, only found in medici, Baverium it is super powerful and stuff (infinite fuel source, and super weapons). Rico Rodriguez (the protagonist)  did his explosions and badassery and took him out, with the knowledge of Baverium. So anyway, Memes remind me of Baverium, changing the mind of people because of its power. So what if Memes got into the wrong hands, will the world fall into an apocalypse, thus memes ended the world. Or, they fall into the wrong hands and some badass people take it out and remove all knowledge, dissipating memes. it is sad to think that this might happen. The real question is, when or is this already happening?


Well. if it is true, a Meme Revolution, and all this will unfold, I'll just be here, Waiting for The Worms...Who will join me?


I've got to say, although I liked this video, some parts felt a bit unfocused. Like, Number 4 starts off talking about Vaporwave, but then you start talking about YouTube Rewind for seemingly little reason. Then again, there's not much you can say about Vaporwave other than a e s t h e t i c s, so I can forgive you for that. The other position that I have a slight problem with is Number 1. It feels as though you're saying "the fact that 2016 being a meme in and of itself makes it the best meme of 2016", which creates a paradox. But then again, a wise prophet once said about paradoxes:

"You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't", Barthomelew Jojo Simpson, 1989 (1990 in airing order).


why the fuck do normies always ruins dank memes 😭


UN Owen was Her was the BEST choice for the absolute chaos that is youtube drama XD

youtube drama was the only meme i didnt understood


Holy fuck. You used "Cult of Personality". Oh boy. Those MDickie days.

People are fed up of PC "lets all be happy friendos" style videos, hence why youtube rewind was shit and why dank memes are more popular

I mean the youtube rewind shit is literally the embodiment of "normies", it's like a corporate view on what we are like as humans


Dank has become a normie word excessively, please stop using it. Same with pepe.

Why doesn't this have over a million views?


Better than whatever WatchMojo could do.


I did the math. That BUT-EDIT video you mentioned @ 9:27 would be about 123 years long.

Here is my math ( i know it's not 100% accurate but I'm lazy)

Nutshack theme "Nutshack"s = 18x nutshacks, 1m5s, 65s
smouth mouth "all star"s = 4x all-stars, 3m4s, 180s
cyberchase intro "every other sylibol" = 93 total, 47x halves, 0m31s, 31s
monoliths in 2001: a spce oddysee = 4x scenes, 2h29m, 8940s
bees in bee movie = 41x bees, 52m43s, 3163s
paul blart "paul blart"s = 8x Paul blarts, 1h31m, 5460s
john cena's theme = 2m58s, 178s

BUT-EDIT TOTAL EST TIME = 3893527649 seconds = a little over 123 years.


WAS THAT FEEL GOOD INC I HEARD AND IS IT ME OR DID THE THUMBNAIL LOOK LIKE GORILLAZ'S DEMON DAYS ALBUM???!?!?!??!!!?!!!??!?! Also, instead of Demon Days by Gorillaz, I like to call it in this case,  "Dank Days by Harambez" NO REGRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I personally don't think SJW memes are that funny. If anything, those memes make me stray further away from politics altogether. The right was definitely more annoying than the left this year.

I saw the cover for YouTube rewind, and it's like... Pewdipie ... Like does he still do stuff? We've got fokin legends! I didn't recognize anyone but him on that cover! YouTube does not know their community one bit!


does anyone know were i can find the vsauce vaporwave video?


the only big channel I really actually like is H3H3 idk why lol


Was not disappointed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm scheduled to suffer from an existential crisis right about now.

really curious why you are allowed to use so much pink floyd content and not get this removed . you have good taste in music , i wish you the best with your work but as someone who has regretted using pf in my work ( syd  b acid casualty video i had removed for usng arnold layne video clip whish was sped up max and reversed as well) i am really curious how and why my work was banned and you can get away with it


Sorry comrade,no one uses dank unless they are normies.


What's up with Gorrilaz music in the background?


sees dat boi and harabe more than once
oh this is gonna be a SHIT list

*sees dat boi and harabe more than once*
oh this is gonna be a SHIT list


Everyone is talking about Gorillaz, where are the Pink Floyd fans???


people subbed to see ray what are you talking about lol because when he quit his channel basically died


Not a Trump friendly supporter, but so aware of the bull that goes on in the world unlike everyone else


Memes won Donald Trump the presidency. I've been trying to say this for so long.


Umm the ad didnt trigger how do i give money


“The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled.

If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu


Who's here in 2018? Please EmpLemon bless us with more dank meme compilations.


yeah I agree, anime is disgusting you  should have just ranked number 7 at number 265918


is it just me or does he not like last week tonight? if I’m wrong, be sure to correct me.


Why do you shit on anime memes considering that anime/manga is some of the most normie resistant content out there? You may not like anime but the anime market is completely estranged from the western normie market. srry but I'm very drunk while writing this.


He would probably blow up as a leafy 2, but not cancerous, if he mostly did these style of videos or commentary videos, but he can do what he enjoys making


so much demon dayz
l love this channel

AND PINK FLOYD!?
why am I acting like popular bands that I like are a rarity to see references to
I need help please only play shit in your videos from now on


Just realized I watched almost a half hour's worth of the psychological reasons that memes are important. And I loved it.


This is meme magic on a scale we've never seen before.


Legendary. Genuinely impressed by your commitment to the subject of memes.


You are a genius and a purveyor for all of humanity, thank you for finally putting into words how I felt about memes and the internet since I was about 8. You are the real MVP.


I love your top 10 videos, I would love to see more of this as well as your ytp's


I love the 'we are number one' memes. Because people say memes cause cancer, but this meme CURED cancer. And I love it!

I guess we realise that we must fight cancer with cancer.


Even though I've only watched the intro, #10, a little bit of #9, and a skip to the nutshack meme, I already love this top 10 list.


now this is a true meme documentary and as a dank explorer i really enjoed it well done


You are a meme genius, EmpLemon. You should use your abilities for evil and be in some company's social media.


Great editing, love how you aproached the topic


this video had an amazing soundtrack, haven't heard the death waltz midi in forever


2016 was the meme singularity. Memes escaped our control and gave us a meme for president, and the mainstream media had no idea how to handle it. They still don't know.


One of your best videos, was worth the work and the wait.


"The production of too many dank memes results in too many EmpLemon videos"<br>Karl Marx

"The production of too many dank memes results in too many EmpLemon videos"
Karl Marx


this is one of the best youtube videos ive seen in a while. good on ya


That Jeb Bush meme where he's spreading his arms out in victory after the electoral college all defected to him was one of the best of the year


memes come in and out of circulation so fast now and so many new ones keep appearing. Let's hope we never have to have a great meme depression


Let's be honest this guy had a very well built video. This is honestly the first video I've watched on his channel but don't focus on the order of the memes but focus on what he says and his support on every one of his reasoning. I'll conceder subscribing soon keep up the work my dood!


I went to a New Years party in New Jersey and there was a whole bunch of kids there, and I asked every kid  "wat was your favorite meme / trend in 2016" and most of them said " what's a meme " or " what's a trend " My face broke after face palming too many times.


Drinking game: Everytime Lemon says "dat boi" take a shot


NEVER HAVE I AGREED WITH YOU MORE!<br>THIS IS SOME GUD SHIT!

NEVER HAVE I AGREED WITH YOU MORE!
THIS IS SOME GUD SHIT!


Ya know, one day, years from now, when these memes were forgotten, someone re-use these memes, much like the cd-i games being used today.


Great vid man. Must've taken a while but it was awesome


To say this is the most darkest age of your channel is neither an overstatement nor an understatement, it's a flat out lie.<br>Great video sEMPai.

To say this is the most darkest age of your channel is neither an overstatement nor an understatement, it's a flat out lie.
Great video sEMPai.


Oh man, if dank overdose was a thing I'd have it right now.


Holy shit, those 'The Most Extreme' snippets used for the numbers. That brings back memories lol.

I love this video, 'meme culture and theory' are so much interesting than one would think. Thank you


Holy shit good video man, wish i could have given it a million likes!


I gotta appreciate the amount of fucking effort in this, THANK YOU!


Wait, so we've got a meme to blame for cheeto hitler getting in power?<br>2016 really was the worst year in a long time.

Wait, so we've got a meme to blame for cheeto hitler getting in power?
2016 really was the worst year in a long time.


with the exception of harambe and rick harrison, it was a good year for memes.


This kind of content isn't why I subscribed, but it's definitely why I've stuck around.


wow, i didn't know that the number one villain got diagnosed. hopefully he gets well.


I really Liked the 8 bit Score of Living Color and Edgar Winter Group during the Music of this Video.


I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel


I never comment but this is a great video, great job.


Me: "Can't wait to see the dankness that is Big Smoke."

Me at number 2: "Huh... I guess Big Smoke is the best meme!"

Me at number 1: "....I'M TRIGGE- Oh I guess it is the best meme."
But legit tho, where is my boi BIG SMOKE? HE'S THE FUCKING MEME KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII*Downward spiral*NGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg


"The year of our Lord" <b>subscribes</b>


I feel glad to be a filipino lmao they made the nutshack xddd


2:36 hahaha I get you. Gorillaz music over the gorilla. Right


Taking a certain word in video and replacing that word with another source of media has been done waaaaay before dank memes ever came into existence. Replacing words in a video and replacing that with a random meme was all the rage in 2006 - 2007, So I wouldn't say that butt-edits invented a new genre of video editing. Its like the The Simpsons. Its been done before.


this was the dankest 30 minutes ive had all year.  off to a good start.


Speaking of how hard it is to find good memes, does anyone have an adequate archive of dank memes or a page guaranteed to have high quality content


So what you're saying is pretty much meme warfare


i like how you played a gorillaz song for the harambe section


All the clips from the movie The Wall though


^keked hard at the Star Wars theme you did. Pretty good👌


I have a problem with We are Number One and The Nutshack both taking spots on the top ten, as to me they are the same meme, the nutshack allowed we are number one to be funny af


I ain't no normie but I will never stop loving harambe!


No one Ive heard of has ever looked into memes as deep as this, at least not in a joke way, someone actually spent time digressing about weird jokes from the demonic amalgamation we know as the internet. But people who think this id "dumb, stupid, doesn't have any meaning, memes are just memes" have to realize, Lemon is talking about the aspects of psychology and society associated with the weird thing that we call "memes" not ultimately, what memes are, but the concept and effects of them. Great video Lemmy, hope to see more stuff like this, not just from you either.


I love all the gorillaz stuff in this video


Everytime I stumble on your channel I always find a TF2 reference


I never heard about the nutshack meme. I guess because it's source material was even lower key


My favorite individual memes of 2016:

1. Obama giving Trump the bird when he came to the White House
2. Chris Christie dancing to "Numb" by Linkin Park
3. Bill Clinton performing "Hotline Bling" on saxophone, accompanied by George Bush on percussion
4. Jeb Bush forgetting to renew his website rights and Donald Trump buying it
5. El Chapo has escaped from prison again and Trump's Spongegar reaction
6. A bunch of gorillas dancing to "How To Save A Life" at Harambe's lit funeral
7. When Mr. Krabs found out everybody's using his picture but he ain't making one penny
8. Lincoln Two Step shouting "Free El Chapo" and his shirt saying "RIP Trump"
9.

Damn it I got cut off

9. Spongebob sings "Kiss" as a tribute to Prince
10. Election Wars, w/ Obama as A New Hope, Trump as Empire Strikes Back, and Bernie as Return of the Jedi (with Hillary as Rogue One since she died trying to get us to victory)


Do you think Wabuu the Cheeky, Child Murder-Attempted Racoon is behind EmpLemon's Downward Spiral?


Holy shit. Ear rape wasn't number one. Ear rape was a part of every meme on this list. But I mean come on, you can't deny triggered was a pretty huge meme.


You like Gorillaz.<br>I like you EmpLemon.


what a fitting selection is "Cult of Personality" for the topic of youtube personalities and related drama


hey... this is actually pretty good.
poops mixed with commentary stuff n shit
this gud . pls do more.


is there gonna be a Top 10 Youtube Poops of 2016?


Dat Boi is number one to me. he's awesome. the true Lord and saviour


WTF is up with that hyper-muscled dragon during the intermission?


Thanks for the theory, by the way. What if Trump WANTED to become a meme, so he could get into office? This was the most accurate list I've seen though.


I don't know why, but the latest YouTube Poop of yours that I fully and truly enjoyed was your entry to the schoolhouse rock collab. That being said, your newer poops released after that are not as funny nor as enjoyable, yet still nonetheless an interesting and impressive sight to see. Just throwing that out there, cause I am still never gonna unsubscribe, no matter what happens. Also, I looked up the Cult of Kek, and I have to ask: When did you become interested? I am genuinely curious.


that moment you never heard of any of those youtubers (except keemstar and johntron) until the hero deadman switch came out


Why is this good?

Edit: I'm very thankful that Lemon still makes YouTube poops. A lot of poopers have quit now. Thank you lemon. Even if you quit now I will still respect you.


Wait this is a 30min video. I guess you're returning to long vids again.


I think Vaporwave was more 2015 than 2016.


I feel it is necessary for everyone to know that I own a sweater with Shrek's face on it, a shirt that has a picture of Harambe and says "R.I.P 5/28/16", and a shirt with dat boi that says wadduppppp.


Thought number 1 was going to be ear rape.


Rly great video mate. Nice discussion :D


But JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is quite dank as an anime.


I liked life better when 4chan was the only place for me- me's


Like how you used the Denmark theme from South Park for Trump and Killary.


I still don't understand the whole 'Jontron exposed video' was it a joke or real?


IM DEAD!!! DANG YOU KAKKA CARROT CAKE!!!


I'm crying this is so beautiful God bless your soul and praise kek


My favorite memes of 2016:

1. Mr. Krabs
2. Joe Biden
3. Spongegar
4. Harambe
5. Arthur Memes
6. El Chapo memes
7. Biggie Cheese
8. Bernie vs Hillary
9. Ken Bone
10. Evil Kermit/Constantine


Is that a weird 'demake' of Cult of Personality playing at (about 15:00) ? Or am I going crazy?


This is your best vid yet. I really enjoyed it, lol. Thanks for making it ^_^


You Reposted in the Wrong Neighborhood is actually originally from Glue70-Casin. Says so in the description.

And yeah, I totally agree this was the year of memes.

22:26 Well, I think you're going WAAAAAYYY TOO DEEP with this, but it definitely makes sense.
22:43 I guess you could say society had a... DOWN WARD SPIRAL DOWN WARD SPIRAL DOWN WARD SPIRAL kek kek kek kek kek

Plus, I never would've expected your voice to sound like this. Not that it's a bad thing of course. It just sounds radically different from what I imagined.

But you reverse that and i admire you  if you had a patrion i would give you 10$ which is A lot for me. I just got the hardware needed for those things (gaming computer) and can you make a tutorial on sony vegas? Of course Larry man 2 is top priority. Lastly i whould like to see if you whould like to join my Team Fortress poop collab. The rules are simple you can use any music as long as you  make a credits reel and the only original source can only be made by valve. Happy birthday! God loves you very much byeeee!!! (get it)<br>Show less

Doge coin got houses built in Africa in 2014 and sponsored a nascar racer


I just have to say, I really love some of the content you've been putting out lately. Oh, I certainly love all your YTPs as well, but videos like this are just very entertaining to watch, and insightful at that. It's just been nice to be able to settle in at night with a cup of tea or some food and just enjoy listening to your opinions on these matters. Thanks for the video.


I never thought I'd live to see the day memes became thought provoking and revolutionary. What a time to be alive.


Quality content Emp keep it up I am proud of you


I'm so happy this was an actual list. I was terrified you were just gonna troll us Emp, but no. You put time and effort into a top ten list analyzing jokes. And for this I say spank you, spank you very hard.


Its stuff like this you make that brings YTP into people's lives.

Thank You


1. I don't know what I'm more concerned about. The fact this video was extremely well made, insightful and informative for it's subject matter or that I know every source you chose for music (I only realized there was a source list in the description after I said that.)
2. 9:27 I will be proud of whoever makes this entire thing he described.


I respect the use of the 1 - 10 animations from Animal Planet's "The Most Extreme".


That was bloody beautiful. I cried every time.


This awesome video is the beginning of the future memes of this year. hope they're as dank as this year cause the only good thing about 2016 were the memes


It sure is pleasant to think about how those funny pictures on the internet have a deeper meaning to them. Thanks for a great year, Lemporer.


The power of meme society resonates with all of us!


I wish I could hang with emperor or anyone who understands memes aren't just for the short laughs but they can go deeper and bring a society together. The SJW was great.


can't wait to see what 2017 has in store


This is the greatest video on memes I have seen. EmpLemon, thank you!


the meme theory end made me laugh to death rofl


Wow, this was amazing. Thank you for this


01:27:93 actually scared me there, even if my volume is low.


I actually hate most of the memes in your videos, but somehow your editing makes the memes actually funny


the last thing you took up the mic got me thinking "What, I have never thought that way".<br>I hope U create the next gen MEME!!

the last thing you took up the mic got me thinking "What, I have never thought that way".
I hope U create the next gen MEME!!


A quality review of the dank meme that was 2016


These are very good speculations, analyses, and conclusions.

There is one more thing I want to know, how the internet effects how people think, because resorting to calling someone salty and whatnot is a very popular trend by now.


Downward spiral? More like upward spiral. This is awesome!


Holy shit that last part about The Arrival blew my fucking mind


I like that you used a picture of Mike Mozart when you said "I mean really"


That mike mozart reference made me happy :)


I give you a A+ for your presentation lel.


I subbed to see ray but aside from that please make more like this bc this was funny.


I like that Cult of Personality remix when he's talking about YouTube drama


Oh I get it now! Emp's been on an UPSIDE-DOWN DOWNWARD SPIRAL.


Excuse me, but were you playing the goddamn Mario Kart Wii Track Select theme in the background?

That's the dankest meme I've seen all year.


I fucking love this channel now, Lemon is God


Not really one for top 10 vid's but you're Skills from poops and editings skills makes this REALLY good i'd like to see more if you can come up to other topic's to talk about!

in short keep up the great work


i fucking lost it at "cult of kek" holy shit


Damn! I thought number one was going to be Lego Star Wars memes


Can't believe this turned out to be a serious video, and not a full on troll. Great stuff.

Also never sing Gorillaz parodies again.


I predict that you will have over 1 million subs after this year


words cannot describe how much I love this fucking video


loving the soundtrack and references to The Wall


2016 IS THE YEAR OF KEK!!!!

PRAISE KEK!!!!


jo jo's bizarre has the best action art style and storyline in my book


does anyone know why you laugh about dank memes? When im watching some but-edit i am laughing but i dont know why. I think thats what makes dank memes great.


Almighty EmpLemon. Is Moonman still dank?


Who else came for the gorillaz meme in the thumbnail?


I cant unsub you emplemon. you are like an abusive relationship; i just keep coming back for more


OMG YOU PUT ONE OF STAR_'s THUMBNAILS IN THE VIDEO I LOVE YOU!

Also, I would have put earrape somewhere on the list, but other than that, the video was fantastic


May papa bless your gracious, dank, and righty tighty soul


Barely anyone of your viewer seems to lurk 4chan and you've lost them towards the end.


How is Grand Dad not an honorable mention?


Dat boi should be switched with Harambe.


The Kek meme magik enlightenment has fell upon you


Dont forget Hugh Mungus had cancer and was saved due to the meme too


Again with the Freddy ruins Sam's life :D


You sound too much like Funke. He's one of my fave youtubers so it's totally cool and uber neat.


I would put big smokes order/moan and the legend 27 on it but besides that it is great


dam it i like the top 10 list more then the poops


Need your dank dose of maymayz? Just watch lemons vids


Oh wow the gorillaz demon days meme in the thumbnail


i heard that south park cant hide it from me


Even if it's an anime, I'm sure you would love JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.


I am Definitely in the DOWNWARD SPIRAL!!!!!!!


Dat Boi and We are number one are the best in my opinion!


11:55 what commercial is that, reminds me of my childhood.


Did not see SJWs being #1 but  it being a meme is probably more appropriate than any other label.


you reposted in the wrong neighborhood didn't even make a honorable mention


that ad break made me remember that I found you because of your youtube poops (I was here before the uncredibles)


Best music genres:
-Alex Jones remixes
-Technodildo(step?)
-Frank Sinatra
-Black MIDI
-Floppy Drives
-Other


When I feel like drinking  bleach I watch your videos and then I stop for a minute and think of Harambe..... I realise this is a bad thing... So I drink the bleach. Thank you Emp Lemon...... FOR ENDING MY SUFFERING.oh by da way did you know: PEPES BLODD IS BLEACH


I thought dat boi is a stale normie meme wtf

You watch TheArchfiend? That's freaken cool.


pepe was the son of Kek. he died so that we may live.


Great video... Did not expect you to know about our lord and savior Kek

Triggered came about years ago. SJWs used to use it themselves.


I just spent 30 minutes watching a video about memes. What the fuck is wrong with me

My only critique was We are Number One not being Number One, but then you played it to introduce Number One, so I rate 1/1 this video is Number One.


We are Number One is number one.. or at least close to number one.


Man, FUNKe's content has gone down the drain.


Wtf, no way, we are number one has to be first


if you actually think that donald trump won the election...because of memes...you realize how much hillary won by in the millennial vote, right?


Do you talk quietly on purpose so that ear rapes are worse?


one of then is your President <br>looks like Brazil in 2018

Memes aren't transcendental nowadays. If anything that stupid fortnite dance lol.


liked the video. gave ya a dislike. peace


Why doesn't Youtube let you unsubscribe from a channel without having to subscribe to it first? I mean, I want to unsubscribe, but the button doesn't appear unless I subscribe and that just makes the whole thing kinda pointless, doesn't it?


This is very quality content, I am honestley very impressed. It really looks like a ton of time was put into this. Thank you very much for this video!


you are an incredibly perceptive ytp creator and I'm learning so much while getting a few laughs here And there. thank you.


i always fell like i have to question my own sanity after i have watched one of your videos,<br>great video btw

i always fell like i have to question my own sanity after i have watched one of your videos,

This is incredible, well done mate, the hard work paid off


this was so impossibly good. I appreciate your WWE'ness, especially the CM Punk stuff that really went in with the revolution theme. Such good points all around, just a 10/10 memesterpiece 👌


Jesus Fucking Christ, this video already made me have high hopes for 2017.  Thank you, EmperorLemon, from the bottom of my heart.


I don't know how to even feel. This video was so deep and dank, i must salute you for this work.


Can't wait to see how dank the memes will get this year.


As always EmpLemon makes an amazing video with an indepth view of memes Also, really glad roundabout made it on the list. (Yeah I like JoJo, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna shove it down people's throats and get pissed if they don't.)


The memes have risen...

...and so have we


I was pretty upset about the roundabout thing at first, but I started thinking that tons of people being exposed to Yes was a net positive.

Fucking brilliant video btw.  Love the editing.

Not just Yes, but others great bands like King Crimson too.


I see you are a gorillaz fan, I just keep gaining respect for you.


Definitive proof that your commentary videos are the best type of videos on your channel


My eyes have been opened. I feel nothing but peace in my heart, since it is the incarnation of memes. Thank you, dear human.


When I saw the title and thumbnail of this video, I thought it would be another forgettable "LOL FUNNY XDXDDXDXD MEME SO FUNNY" video. However, the video was actually somewhat interesting and had many good points made throughout. That's what I always liked about you. You take often uninspired and generic things and turn them into thought provoking and entertaining video.


I really enjoy this critical analysis of "meme culture" I think that memes are an important part of our culture and shape our society in a more significant way than we think


Somehow you made a top 10 memes video without being cringey about it... I applaud you


holy shit ted chiangs work is so powerful that at some point it influenced a meme man through an iteration of itself


But what will 2017 entail? The year is fresh for more memes.


Is it bad that I think "We are Number One" actually sounds pretty good?


Great video, although I question how Bee Movie didn't even make the honorable mentions.


So if Pepe is the one meme that had the biggest influence on everything, that lasted for the longest time, that even changed a whole political election, why is it not 1st place?


I love the Mike Mozart reference at 2:07


Love the use of richie jackson skateboarding down those stairs, gentle and perfect


thanks for this video, it made me laugh :D


Why does he sound so smart in this like " this is the first time a meme and rock music put together


what i really liked about late 2016 was the comeback of the gta SA related meme, man those are great.


20 seconds in and it's already the memest video on YouTube


I became obsessed with synth/vaporwave after the We are number one but its synthwave video.  Great Meme.


To late to explore the Earth to early to explore space but just soon enough to explore DANK MEMES!


#1 underrated meme: EAR RAPE. It has been part of nearly every dank meme this year. You've been using it several times this video.


love the Pink Floyd references, keep it up


No you reposted in the wrong neighborhood? Great vid by the way!


21:32. This ster reference makes me hungry.... Might grab some...

COFFEE CHEETOS CHICKEN


Nah, we are number one is my number <b>ONE</b> top meme of 2016.

Nah, we are number one is my number *ONE* top meme of 2016.


being a huge fan of gorillaz I got excited when I saw the thumbnail


I love the use of Gorillaz throughout the video.


I feel like Dat Boi died out kind of fast


i don't care about harambe's bad reputation. he is always in my heart, forever...


Awesome vid! Seriously! So much to the vid, how hard did you work!?


GIVE ME MEME FOR 2017 HUMANITY CANT LIVE WITHOUT MEME ANYMORE


This video made me think.<br>Are memes made by aliens?

This video made me think.
Are memes made by aliens?

That could be a possible explanation for the creation of memes there is no evidence of the creation of any unforced meme.


One of my biggest dreams is to create a very trendy and funny meme


If he doesn't know about this channel already, Fantano would love it


Will 2017 have greater and danker memes than 2016?


EmpLemon got philosophical all of a sudden!


Obviously the best meme of 2016 is GRAND DAD and his high quality rips


2:06 HOLY FUCK SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THAT MIKE MOZART EXISTS


My favorites were number 10, 6 and 3 I think they should of been higher in the list

my favorites are 5, 2 9's, 9 large, and 6 with extra dip


Me in 2013: Not enough effort!!!Me now: Too much effort!!!


since the vaperwave entry, I was expecting SiIvaGunner to show up


I never watch top "blank" videos. But im glad i watched this one.


ill always be loyal to you no matter how bad your content is


Someone needs to make that fucking Nutshack meme


TIL the dank meme is the most powerful force in the universe.


Nice video my man, don't be afraid to do some 'shit' ones too or you'll turn into RWJ


This video is deeper than the italian public debt, wow ^_^'


Your voice reminds me of Funke. That's a good thing.


Since you  like progressive music, what are your thoughts on Frank Zappa and The Mothers?


I've kind of speculated that some kind of extremist goverment would use Memes/General internet culture to create an illusion of conscious or at least bring down there rivals. Never knew it would happen very soon.


Personally Robbie Rotten should have been number 2


I started liking The Memes™(kill me) when Dat Boi was waning in popularity so it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth now, kind of like Harambe.


Anyone else expect bee movie at number 1?


Hope you feel better Robbie! WE ARE NUMBER ONE!!!!!

Is that the Reimagine :the game: theme playing during the Hillary segment?


Considering that google ads (the ones with the cancerous song) are becoming the first meme of 2017, do you think this years memes will be similar?


Very clever using a gorilaz song...well played.


Big Smoke didn't make the list D;

oooooooohhh


Our lord has returned, praise be to kek.<br>Bless you based Lemon.

Our lord has returned, praise be to kek.
Bless you based Lemon.


there was that guy with strange sunglasses too called lifeinatent


I haven't seen that sponge bob ytp in years!


How dare you talk about memes that way!??


in a laboratory once upon a time the once was a monster named frankenstein!


we stray away further from God's light every day


Shouldn't we are number one BE NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST ,CMON!


what if a left meme suddenly appears? will society get balanced, will everyone ignore it or will it flip the table completely

I won't bore you with the details but the left can't do memes, the right can because fundamentally meme culture is inherent in right ideology. Look up "The Metaphysics of Pepe" and it describes it pretty well

You should understand that 'leftism' is the primary reason for this in the first place. This's a counter-culture. You're not going to see 'left-memes' until a significant amount of time passes or something substantial happens. Also, there already are powerful 'left-memes'. Donald Trump hysteria is a meme. It's not the same kind of flashy internet meme, but nonetheless it is the dictionary definition of a meme.

+randman mate, that's not a meme, it's pretty much an antimeme

what if table not flip? What if flip table?

Someone forgot about Pokémon GO to the polls.

Fission Mailed, dat boi was on this list


I knew from the start trump would win. Now that the year is over we all have ascended and evolved as humans into a new dank specie's


pepe may b a hate symbol, butt he's our hate symbol


I Remember all of the memes  even the frist ones


Dammit Jerry! Stop talking about your gay memes!!


He's not Spongegar, he's Primitive Sponge. Spongegar was from the episode Ugh, not SB-129.


2016...2017...2018...2019...

(Downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral...)


I think everybody already knows that memes are the reason Donald Trump won lol


9:20- The entire Philippines triggered
Rodrigo Duterte- Supa triggered


yall need to go on instagram and DM my boy devin49 (Devin Meyers) a dank meme. he is a meme lord in training but he is going down the wrong path. he thinks dank is live leak videos of people getting sucked into and crushed by heavy machinery. yall send him some damn pepes.


This is like you tried to make a video essay about memes why even wtf


4:47 " Happy #CincoDeMayo "
Why do americans insist on "celebrating" it, May 5th is not even the mexican independence day as most americans say.


Since it seems Anthony won't be doing one as quality as this, I will have to settle for this one. But seriously, this is really good. Although I had no idea what the fuck you were talking about towards the end. You went from discussing the TRIGGERED meme,to just saying Trump got elected because of memes. It just trough me out of a loop.

Also, call it a hunch

But I am getting the impression you like WWE...just a hunch though.


Triggered true origin, ladies and gentlements : the tf2 shitpost. No shit it's true


Before this video I saw thelegend27 ad. After this video I saw thelegend27 ad.


Anything can be a forced copypasta. Watch this.<br>I only upload high quality videogame rips.

Anything can be a forced copypasta. Watch this.
I only upload high quality videogame rips.

@Gonedridge And johnny. Freakin' johnny test's trashy rap.

you do have a point.
as proof, one of the influential meme men, mrmangohead, took no effort to turn the lorax into a meme.
and another influential one, scream skelly gore, has turned Cherry Pie (the song not nutshack character) into his inside meme and somewhat successful


Okay but Fire Goose wasn't in this video at all? Not even that it wasn't mentioned, but not EVEN a SINGLE glimpse of it in the crazy meme overloads segments. Emplemons, I'm so very very disappointed in you. Liked the video a lot other than that though.


thinking is not so blocky.. man can change his mind, and what he sees, hears, thinks, and understands create his world and other peoples'.

very interesting thing, thinking.


Hey Emplemon I got very sad news to tell you,Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars series has passed away on December 27,2016 at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack.


wow I'm early better say something funny.
Keemstar is a great host.

 last time I was this early this was still funny.


am I the only one who thinks he kinds sounds like Shane Dawson a Lil bit?


Youtube rewind SUCKED because it tried to highlight all of the non-dank terrible trends that ultimately succeeded to annoy everyone in the end.


Hey what's what's up guys it's scarce here...


dat boi at #2

FUCKING NORMIES
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Stop treating my speaker the way leafy treated disabled yourtubers.


Hillary Clinton and left-wing? U fuckin' kiddin' me?


Hey Philippines is not a bad country well I a filipina/female person that was born in philippines


K I'm not subbed any more, what do I do now?


Trump isn't fish god. Chugga already has that title. Chugga is also a friend of ducks.


I mean memes helped Trump but it was mostly Russians probably
