For an entirely manmade phenomenon, memes have a surprising life of their own. All of the biggest, most memorable trends seem to snowball out of nowhere, until everyone and their clout-chasing friends is posting about them. For those of us who consume but don't make memes, the endless stream of content we absorb appears as if by magic.

Memebase prides itself on being a part of that magical process, as natural as cheese in a can. It's easy to forget there are whole levels of reasoning behind the creation and dissemination of memes, just because it is so chaotic. This list is no exception, and that's exactly the way that we like it. The images are random, and the potential for entertainment is plentiful. Don't try to wear yourself out here, there is a lot more where that came from. You didn't think you were only staying for one, did you?
