Are there others?

Edit: I meant other memes. I grew up watching these PSAs.

So many others! This particular one was just memed especially hard.

We had image macro memes before the GI Joe PSAs. We just weren't calling them "memes." We called them "image macros."

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.

What about this is a meme exactly?
