Difference between a meme and a joke

[DorsetDude]

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:


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


Hope that clears things up for everyone. GTBOS

Maybe it's time to reboot the Meme thread and call it the "Pictorial Joke and Funny (though not necessarily) Meme Thread Esq."

It'd certainly last a lot longer that way
