Any tips on how to start a meme?

Well, anyways, I started another thread asking for help on spreading a meme, but it was getting trashed by haters. I actually kinda have my feelings hurt.  tongue  Anyways, this time, I just want some advice. Got any tips?

This if for bananaman and agscratcher. You guys are great and all, but, unless you have something good to say, stay out of this. I didn't appreciate you guys calling me a "fail" and hating on my character.  sad  Next time, I will report.

Re: Any tips on how to start a meme?

I think you have to have a lot of people use it, and then post it on knowyourmeme and hoping it won't get deadpooled.

I went on knowyourmeme for meme research. A great website. Anyways, do I have to sign up to post it? I'm not exactly sure. Also, does it help spread memes?

The thing is, intentionally starting a meme is considered a forced meme, which is frowned upon by many.

Yes. And yes. But to post it you can't have made the meme yourself. Once you get people using it I will post it for you...provided you help me with LeeRolled.

There are some but those articles you can't access unless you search for them. And most of them are not safe for work so ask you if you're over 18...

By the way, I was only asking for advice and if you could help me spread it if you had the time. I wasn't forcing you. If you didn't like it, just ignore it. Don't get involved. I recall someone asking for people to spread a certain meme. Lo-and-behold, it became popular. I forgot the name and everything, but, it, too, can be considered a forced meme because the guy who started it was asking everyone to share it with others. I've seen it everywhere, but still can't remember the name.

You see, my fail pic was an attempt to discourage you so much, you would stop. It would save you from many forced meme induced rages. Psychology FTW.  tongue

Re: Any tips on how to start a meme?

If you want to try I'm not going to stop you. However, take into account that if it's discovered that you forced the meme to popularity, it's immediately categorized that way. Trust me, we really don't want Scratch to be known for making forced memes, because that always results in negative attention from... other websites.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
