Greater Alemannia

They're entertained us, disturbed us, and annoyed the hell out of us. Now it is time to find which is the greatest/worst of all time!

One nomination per person per round. Please post a link to your nomination. This obviously means it can't be overly offensive.

I nominate... George Washington by Cox and Combes!

The OS-tans are an Internet phenomenon on Futaba Channel; the OS-tan or simply OS Girls are the personification of several operating systems (OSes), most famously Microsoft Windows, by various amateur Japanese artists. A pure fan creation, the appearance of each OS-tan is generally consistent across artists.

My vote goes to the word "teh".

And runner-up is the practice of typing a line of thirty exclamation marks with a "1" at the end. Which, according to Alanis Morrisette, is irony.

How quickly people forget Yatta. Heathens.

Meanwhile, while George Washington is funny and amusing, it's not a meme. Nobody quotes it; it doesn't have a life of its own. Steak may taste great, but you wouldn't mention it when talking about the best chicken dishes out there. Two totally different things.

"All your Base...", "In Soviet Russia...", "O RLY", and "snakes on a plane" are memes. So is: "You win the internet" (misspelling optional), "... Serious Business" and so on are as well. Sadly, this means the rejects at Fark are responsible for most memes.

It's a pity that VIKINGS! aren't a meme...
