This probably makes it sound like I'm being disparaging towards memes (like they're all boring), but that wasn't what I was trying to say (although a lot of memes are recycled).
With every form of entertainment (books, music, movies, TV, video games, etc) it seems like 80% of it is pretty boring, and 20% of it is good enough to make the rest of it worth it. That's what I meant - I think the Kermit vs Connery memes are in the same category. A lot of them don't stand out, but there is that 20% or so that are really good.
