Probably not.

Meh, perhaps. I see it by the times.

Evidence and such. You know, lionks. I need some lionks.

no not a meme

it's everywhere actually. It's not a video or an image macro like usual memes, but I don't know. And yes I know Shane Dawson isn't funny, I'm not a followed, I just accidentally his video :p

It only has to be a learned behavior to be a meme, which is why the question of "is this a meme" is almost always irrelevant.

@Chris
The derivatives are part of the learned behavior, right?
