I feel because it's one where people are most creative. I love being surprised by something that turns out to be yet another loss meme. The origin is quite stupid/boring, but it has become such a great versatile meme.
It must be something to do with the fact that the meme can be boiled down to just this:
| || || | _
A meme's reproducibility is inversely proportional to the complexity. And the proliferation is proportional to the number of possible permutations of the meme without losing recognisably.
Yes exactly!
