An '''old meme''' is a [[meme]] that's been posted so many times that it's not funny anymore. "Old meme" was coined by [[insub]] in reference to the <strike>[http://www.gruntle.org/insub URL meme game]</strike> (broken link) commonly played there as a way to mock those posting memes which were already in the meme database.  Sometimes called "tired old jokes." Old memes are extremely popular in sites such as [[YTMND]], [[Gamespot]], and [[GameFAQs]]. The opposite of an old meme is [[X is now a meme|NAM]].

==Intentional Old Memes==
[[Some argue]] that after a meme is too old to be [[funny]], it can again become funny by being extremely [[unfunny]]. People who make this argument are [[fucktard]]s who think they invented the concept of [[irony]]. This is referred to as "intentional old meme," and is completely obnoxious. Here's an example of [http://www.dogsonacid.com/showthread.php?postid=6185490 old memes wearing themselves thin very fast.]

It needs to be known that "intentional old meme" is itself [[old meme]] and is an [[banhammer|asskickable]] offense, though using old memes to mock a [[Slowpoke]] poster is acceptable if done properly.

===Another example===
<pre>
jackbos: I recently saw an amusing picture of a video game character saying "All your base are belong 
to us".
jackbos: Let's talk about that!
jackbos: And you simply *have* to watch this video I just saw of a Zanger Bob singing a 
song called "Numa Numa"

=-=	YOU (jackbos) have been booted from #ed by hep (all ur base are belong to me)

==Forced Memes vs Old Memes==
{{main|Forced Meme}}
A [[forced meme]] should not be confused with an ''old meme''. A meme can be old, and still be [[funny]]. Likewise, a meme can be new (forced) and be [[unfunny]] as hell due to over-postage of said "meme". Unlike old memes, forced memes never had (and will never have) any funny "heyday" (a point in time in which they were funny, but are not anymore) simply because [[btard|someone]] on the Internets tried to "invent" a new meme by spamming it all over the fucking place.
