Oh I understand the idea of a meme,
and certainly understand humor, satire ....
And I quote Bill the Cat when I am happy to say :
Ack Ack Bllllllppppppptttttt!
And if you don't understand that I can low brow and give you what I think of the JudgesL a nice bronx cheer BLLLLLLLPPPPPTTTTTTTTT.....
The Judge for my Contest is a comedian who has performed on stage in improv groups and a lawyer who calls it down the middle.... And I can tell you when he has chosen stuff he refuses to chose recycled low brow troupes.
And just for you I understand what a meme is:
The word meme was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene as an attempt to explain the way cultural information spreads;[7] the concept of the Internet meme was first proposed by Mike Godwin in the June 1993 issue of Wired. In 2013, Dawkins characterized an Internet meme as being a meme deliberately altered by human creativity—distinguished from biological genes and his own pre-Internet concept of a meme, which involved mutation by random change and spreading through accurate replication as in Darwinian selection.[8] Dawkins explained that Internet memes are thus a "hijacking of the original idea", the very idea of a meme having mutated and evolved in this new direction.[9] ....
Note the last bit is key...."evolved in this new direction.["
When you choose winners who do not come up with new ideas your actually not really picking a Meme....
Didn't think I'd apply weird science to this stuff did you?
I agree with you.Meme needs to be something new, not just camuflage of old jokes on new photo but judging is not that easy. There are many entries that doesn't even have sense.Thats why judges sometimes pick "played out jokes!". I see that this week judge found your meme the funniest.
Congrats on winning :)
