For Meme official definition we have:

meme
miːm/
noun
  1. 1.
    an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.
  2. 2.
    an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations.

To me, a meme is one image with text at the top and/or bottom.
Examples:
camel.jpg confucblindman.jpg

A joke is a text only written traditional joke, a cartoon strip or a picture with text like you might get on the front of a funny card
Examples
humbug.jpg icles.jpg

Hope that clears things up for everyone. GTBOS ;)

The bottom 2 are birthday cards.
 
Consider me edified :)
 
Maybe it's time to reboot the Meme thread and call it the "Pictorial Joke and Funny (though not necessarily) Meme Thread Esq."

At least! TBH though, I'd rather cook that than sh@g it. :P
 
I should have looked at the nose.
It was the heat of the moment...
