10 Movie Scenes That Formed The Basis For Internet Memes

If you've visited Facebook over the past, oh, let's say five years, you've probably noticed the proliferation of internet memes. Sure, they were always popular in certain circles online, but their customizable and sharable nature has pushed them out of niche culture and into the mainstream. We live in a world in which Rick Astley actually Rickrolled the entire nation during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2008. That's crazy.

You all probably know the origins of many of these, but WatchMojo put together a quick video that shows the movie scenes that inspired many of the internet's most popular memes. If you're new to the whole meme thing (hi, Mom), this will at least give you a baseline for where this stuff started.
