My unpopular opinion is that most memes on a template belong in the lower right rectangle. I have no idea how people laugh at the same joke they've seen on repeat. They're so predictable...even before someone makes them. Like if a show/movie/game introduces a cute lil guy, someone is "making" the Brooklyn Nine Nine meme, a fan favorite is usurped by a cooler fan favorite and you'll see the Toy Story meme, etc.

It feels so...unnatural? People rush to be the first to make the joke to get the upvotes. I saw a comment on here once that was along the lines of "the way memes are shared [through social media to a large audience of strangers] nowadays is antithetical to the definition of a meme.

I'm happy to defend my point if you disagree and I'm not opposed to changing my mind on it

I agree to a certain extent. If anything there should be four types. I'd still put AI at the bottom and put low effort memes in third.

By the way, I am not trying to insult you at all here. This is technically a meme template but it's not relying on a punchline someone else made
