Internet memes have been a staple of the Internet almost since the beginning. Meme refers to a concept popularized by Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist from Oxford, in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. In its original usage, meme referred to a cultural idea that spreads under evolutionary principles. An Internet meme, while limited to the culture of the Internet, evolves in a similar way. Whatever the image, play on words, parody, joke, website, video clip or phrase may be, the ultimate attribute of any successful Internet meme is its ability to spread rapidly via the viral networks of the web. Many Internet memes launch from YouTube, more or less the hub of Internet memes since its inception, whereas others originate in fail blogs. The best Internet memes combine black humor with wry social commentary and the trademark whimsical nature of online humor and culture. The Fix of Awesome quiz therefore is designed to celebrate the tradition of the Internet meme while simultaneously testing your general knowledge of this cultural phenomenon.
