Advice animals and rage faces have got really unbearable during the peak era of 9gag, MLG montage parodies got really obnoxious as well, but those are legacy memes now. I used to hate Doge and Big Chungus because they were everywhere but don't mind them now.

The worst meme by far are all those dumb internet challenges like cinnamon and tide pod challenge.

Discounting also all of the TikTok spam and any other flavor-of-the-week memes, basically sticking to anything that's withstood the test of time and keeps coming back up no matter what, I'm going to have to go with Padoru. Never could stand the fucking thing.

'Tis almost the season again, too.

There are many terrible memes out there, like those that begin with "when" and have a random picture, and those that begin with "nobody, absolutely nobody, not even a single soul". But I swear that nothing is worse than the object labeling memes. They are the laziest memes ever made. So lazy that I even refuse to consider them as memes. Making a object labeling meme is so simple, even my grandma could make one. Here is how:

1) Pick a picture. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple draw made from Microsoft Paint, or a beautiful piece of art made with love. Just pick a picture. Any picture.

2) Throw labels on it. Any kind of labels. Any!

3) Profit. Done. That’s it, you’ve just made a meme. Yeah. Now sit back and enjoy your contribution on this global-scaled epidemic. Wow, cowboy. You’re so creative.

Actually, you’re not.

This object labeling stuff reminds me those political cartoonists who put tons of labels on everything in order to explain what is supposed to be what. And yes, I'm looking at you, Ben Garrison! If you have to explain your own jokes, you have no jokes at all. And if you have to explain everything, get an new job! This is why I prefer cartoonists who avoids or at least minimizes the usage of labeling, and this is also why this kind of memes is not funny at all.

Furthermore, the object labeling memes are not only unfunny but also non creative. Just pick a picture and fill it with stupid labels. This is even worse when this picture is a beautiful piece of art, because it's as disrespectful to the artist as taking a shit to Mona Lisa.

As Polonius once said "brevity is the soul of wit", excessive labeling and walls of text are anti-memes because one of the things that make memes appealing to people is that they condense big concepts into simple names or images, and adding too much text to the screen like labeling everything or putting walls of text as if they fear that the audience will interpret it the 'wrong way' just ruins the simplicity of memes that makes them viral/interesting.
