Is there a name or meme for mashing up memes?
Metamemeage.

As a prolific newfag I made this crap:

What you say internets?

Hybrid memes?

Some more serious or difficult than others. You can add a motivator to anything… but it takes some work to mash Numa Numa with Chocolate Rain

Want me to try ;P

LOLBUMP :D

I just bumped the last page of the discussions.

YTMND was nothing BUT those.

Look where it's now.

@TheJohns -- that's a great question! Where is YTMND now? Still relevant/exciting? Thoughts?

YTMND itself is just a fad now.

I mean, 3 or 4 years ago, that shit was mainstream.

It was also YTMND's fault that before the word "meme" became widespread, we had to use the misused word "fads," because that's what they called it.

But the memes – no, their application of memes, are crap. Once one meme gets popular, YTMND becomes nothing but. They do not use the memes, they become slaves to it. They depended on them to generate any "real" humor, because everything else is just soundclips or I PUT A MUZAK ON MARCO (macros with extra-redundancy). Eventually, they to resort to meme chimeras/abominations like StaplerKhanCopter or Kahn and Vader at the Nooooooooooolympics or some shit like that. This results in the Death stage of the meme: When it loses both meaning and humor. As someone who once was a YTMNDtard, it's true.

tl;dr YTMND's peak popularity is long gone, and it's not relevant/exciting anymore.

But to be more relavant to this thread:

"Metamemeage" is just a fancy word for "I'm an uncreative shit and believe this fuckstick's theory on memes is true:

MEMES JUST DON'T WORK LIKE THAT.

If you want to fuse memes, you have to make it work together. You can breed a wolf and a dog together, but you can't breed a platypus and a armadillo together.

Yeah, some people will find it funny, but those are the same people who think Chuck Norris jokes and Portal references are still relevant today.
