Memes can be as trivial as a waffle falling over or as powerful as a social movement. But defining them, tracking their origins, mutations, and meanings is a tough job.
Fortunately, the brave souls at Know Your Meme have been at it for more than a decade, so we can rest easy knowing Slender Man and Ugandan Knuckles will be preserved for future generations.
This week on 2 Girls 1 Podcast, Alli and Jen (actors who perform weird internet stuff on stage), interview Brad Kim, editor-in-chief of Know Your Meme, who began his online odyssey as an immigrant and humble intern. Ten years later, there are so many things he can never un-see.
