Sigmund's mom has got it going on

She's all I want and I've waited for so long

Sigmund, can't you see? You're just not the shrink for me

I know it might be wrong, but I'm in love with Sigmund's mom

dude come on, Freud's bullshit is so ingrained in our culture, riffing of it is a meme

they communicated something about our collective knowledge in a picture, it's funny too

That's a good reply!

Yeah,

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet,

So: True, a meme does not need to be a recaptioned image that alters it meaning.
In any case that up there a nice text snippet, yeah :)

At least this one tried to make a joke. I've seen a lot of dead serious posts in meme comms, especially ones like "microblog memes", even some in comms with "shitpost" in the name.
