Did You Know: this article is about Jewish thieves? For a cellulite riddled imitation, go here: http://www.knowyourmemes.com


Naturally KYM had to rip off Ae-tan too.
KYM = internet culture, edited for Jews

Know Your Meme (KYM) is essentially the end product of greedy corporate intervention into anything OTI. The site itself, which was for a short time a subsidiary of multi-national corporate giant Sony, was created entirely for the benefit of the newest of new and the odd over-the-hill, old media type. It is distinct from other sites (e.g. Lurkmoar wiki) in that Know Your Meme is clearly intended for mass commercialization of every "cute" meme that ever sprang forth from a *chan. It's also mostly safe for work, which is fucking lame. Sounding like someone yet?

Since its inception, KYM has had no shame corporatizing the internet culture they take no part in and, moreover, are exceedingly arrogant about this fact. You will often see this smarmy attitude first-hand from the odd mod or site rep attempting to justify the site's existence with such disingenuous statements like "nobody owns a meme, we all do", which is fine, except they are a fucking company that is making money off of them at the same time. If they could copyright every meme in existence, they would - a corporation's eternal mission is the divide and conquer mindset. It is basically I Can Has Cheezburger? raised to the tenth with 100 times the faggotry. The site survives largely off of retarded YouTube users, Gaiafags, unsatisfied Oh Internet users and legions of other 12 year olds.

History

We're in ur memes, fucking them up.
1. Kill Your Meme
2.????
3.PROFIT!
You may ask "why don't my videos have ads on them?" Because they don't generate money like Rocketboom does!

Although the site has been up since December 18th, 2007, it's surprisingly small and lacks content. /b/ on its worst day will never be as raeped by newfaggotry and AIDS. They hired Template:Youtube2 to anchor their "webshow" in July, 2009, who just happens to also be in the YouTube Partner Program.

What's worse is KYM signed a major distribution deal with Sony in 2008. Now you can learn about memes while you're browsing on your fucking iPhone in class or playing MW2 on your PS3! Soon enough, you'll see niggers, kikes, and guidos walking down the street wearing XXXXL shirts stating that their penis size is over 9000. Supposedly this deal fell through not long after, but it will not be long before they're sucking more corporate cock.

Typical search results for anything that matters.


The Videos

YouTube promoting KYM's faggotry on the front page.
KYM will deadpool any memes they can't profit from.

KYM/Rocketboom managed to multiply already unthinkable faggotry with their Jewtube "webshow". The show consists of some hostess walking pair of tits or similarly clueless "researchers" doing their best to read a fucking teleprompter or script to explain any given meme in the most WACKY way possible. Soon everything you used to hold sacred will be able to be downloaded to some retards PSP for the low price of just $19.95...the days of reading through endless lines of boring text are over! Just watch a short YouTube video, and you'll be an instant oldfag.

You can now spout memes with the best of them: LOL HAY U GUISE ITS A TRAP ALL YOUR BASE ARE AN HERO HNNNNNG OVER 9000 MILHOUSE MUDKIPZ XD AM I COOL YET? SO CASH I DONT EVEN DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

It actually got shittier!

Sometime around 2011 KYM was sold to the cheezburger network. Nothing really changed except for the fact that the web videos are now made by a completely different set of people which are actually worse than the first set of people. Currently anything pony related is dominating over every other article on KYM.

The Fags Behind It

What? This article needs moar people behind the faggotry.
You can help by adding moar people behind the faggotry.
Go nuts.

Behind the scenes are unfunny middle aged men shooting for humor. A female is often employed for the sole purpose of inciting rebellious boners and raking in the hits.

Trivia

File:Kymuser.jpg
KYM's thoughts on ED.
Cancer IRL.
Do your part!
Even KYM knows that ED is better than Uncyc.
  • Know Your Meme constantly get their facts wrong. In their video on Weegee, they state that he simply originated as a creepy drawing that someone uploaded on the internet, completely glazing over the fact that Weegee is undeniably real, and will kill you. They also contend that Pedobear PROTECTS lolis and That Really Rustled My Jimmies originated from FunnyJunk.

We all know how wrong that is.

  • Unsurprisingly, KnowYourMeme.com was named Time Magazine's 50th best website of 2009, which is ironic because all of its content is derived from other websites.
  • It is also completely useless because you could just use ED to research any meme that's worth two shits, and many which aren't. Fortunately, every KYM page links to ED, so after reading their shit, you can just click on the link to know the truth.
   
 
If you've ever been stung by the word newbie, then this is the vlog for you. Every other week or so, "researchers" from the thoroughly tongue-in-cheek Rocketboom Institute for Internet Studies explain what's funny on the Web and why — so you can be 1337 and have a life too.
 

 
 

—Time Magazine, completely disregarding other websites ("wink wink") that did what they do about a decade earlier and much, much better.
