Are there others?

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?
