A meme that has been overly posted, and is usually completely useless. "Old meme" was coined by insub in reference to the URL meme game 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 and GameFAQs. The opposite of an old meme is NAM.

[edit] Intentional old meme

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 fucktards 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 old memes wearing themselves thin very fast.

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

to us".
jackbos: Let's talk about that!
jackbos: And you simply *have* to watch this video I just saw of a [[Zanger Bob|fat kid]] singing a 
song called "Numa Numa"
