lol this wasn't hard at all, you just need to search "webcomics"
I'm pretty sure I've missed some though, I almost missed popular ones like "Oh no, he's retarded" and "All life is precious" because they didn't appear in the webcomics search, so if you find anything, post it below.
Before you add something to the list, I didn't include memes which had creative variants, or memes which didn't have many political/controversey variants, even though they appear to fit the format. For example, That's not honey pooh, Wheeze Comic, Baton Roue, Coffee, You're My Only Friend, My Son Did Not Enjoy This Book, and Scroll of Truth, weren't put on the list, as they have more variants with clever twists than opinions. You can disagree with me and list memes that made me laugh anyway, to which I will put your icon in one of the exploitables.
Also, I put this in order of when the comics rose in popularity, not by when the original comics were created (ie. the year KYM says the first variant became popular, not the year listed in the page's info column)

2012
Modern Society (resurged in 2017)

2015
Stuck in the Elevator (arguably 2017)
Will We Find Intelligent Life
Ew I Stepped In something i don't like
Oh No It's Retarded
Does He Bite

2016
Civilized Discussion
Missed The Point
Talk To Me Like You're An Idiot
Thanks To The Miracle Of The World Wide Web

2017
Get Better Material
Hey man you see that guy over there
All Life Is Precious
Self Aware Robot
Your Mother And I Will Always Love You
As A Father

We've reached the stage where even the admins are sick of these.

By the way, can a mod put this in a better forum category? Putting a list of things I don't like in "fun forum games" was an accident.

thanke

So just FYI, I had made a tag on these type of entries Things I don't like for stuff that I see as being like this. Generally to fit,IMO, is that one of the main functions of the meme is just being used as a soapbox of "insert x here"

I kinda feel like I should put my reasoning as to why I didn't give this tag to all the ones on your list.

Modern Society: the meme is more about the popularity of certain things over other things among an audience. I don't really see it as a soapbox of someone saying one is better than the other, just that one is more popular

Does He Bite: I don't really see how this one its too be honest. Maybe just too few examples to gauge it, but it looks like it's showing someone else's reaction to the author trying to make the dog say something they think is true. It's kinda similar, but not really a "insert thing you dislike here" kind of meme.

Civilized Discussion: This one fits more closely in the "insert thing I dislike here" type meme. Granted, it's exclusively for people (be it fans/supporters of something, people who work for something, or just straight up racism). It's not exactly the same due to being about people as opposed to things/ideas/concepts like the rest are. Granted you could argue that this Superman refuses to help comic is the exact same thing, so I guess I'll add it.

Missed The Point: Yeah, this one I just missed/forgot about, and now added.

Thanks To The Miracle Of The World Wide Web: Maybe it's just because there are so few images in the gallery, but I don't really see any examples that look like a soapbox. Mostly just going on about how expectations one might have about the internet are often not met and/or standard "Internet fuckwad theory" commentary.

Get Better Material: Again, maybe it's just because there are so few examples, but doesn't jump out at me as being really soapboxy.

Hey Man You See That Guy Over There: was split on this one tbh, as it felt like as if many didn't just follow the soapbox formula. That having been said, yeah a lot of them do, and most that don't are generally a non-standard and really creative version, so I'll add it.

Self Aware Robot, same as some of the others with so few examples, it's hard to gauge. Granted it does have pretty much the same formula as "It's retarded" which is on the list, the phrase "it's not finished yet" doesn't feel as soapboxy as "It's retarded" but I guess there's no real reason to not add it. Added.

As A Father: New one, just added.

Other ones not on your list are:
How Dudes Have Sex
Dan Dancer Can Cancer
Superman Refuses To Help
The Deathbulge Party Saga

Can't wait for that tag to have a hundred entries under it.

@Jacob I don't want this thread to turn into a large argument over which memes count as TIDL and which ones aren't, uh, mostly because I didn't know it was gonna be taken this seriously: if there's going to be disagreements over what should and shouldn't be mentioned, it's fine if people put everything they find here that can arguably be considered TIDL memes and let people judge for themselves which ones are and aren't – it's the reason why I mentioned all the memes I didn't want to put on the list in my first post – just because I didn't want this list to be anything "official" (ie. this isn't an "official written-in-stone" TIDL meme list, it's fine if people put memes that are barely arguably TIDL, and I don't want you to add the TIDL tag to the entries that I think are TIDL memes and you don't), this is just a dumb community-composed list. I think the memes I listed are TIDL memes because of the variants I saw, but I understand why you don't. just move threads you don't like to riffraff
So with that said, here's more stuff that's debatable:
Stress Powered Light Bulb
To Survive In The Wild

Bowser Block could also fall under this category.

Nah, that's more adult content that you wouldn't want a child to see so you block their eyes.

Maybe I'm very biased, memes like this can be funny at times [hell I've even made a few], but I think they are by nature rather insulting & blatantly strawmanning. I have trouble myself but it's an undeniably narcissistic act to attack a person saying stuff against your opinions & biases instead of their actual arguments.

I'm pretty sure no one likes being put down for their opinions really.

Add How Dudes Have Sex and Cilivized Discussion

Also, I wouldn't really consider "Hey man you see that guy over there" and "Thanks to the miracle of the world wide web" as Things I Don't Like memes.

The most notorious for me are:
- Starter Pack
- Anime was Mistake
- Mocking Spongebob
- God I Wish That Were Me
- It's Time to Stop (sometimes)
- For Really Big Mistakes
- Picardia
- Counter-Signal memes
- I Was Only Pretending To Be Retarded
- How Creative People See the World
- Fake News
- Everything that is associated with ''CRINGE''

@Mr.JL the only one I really see as just soapbox to complain "I don't like thing" is just "For Really Big Mistakes" ( don't know how I forgot that one. I'll add it) While many of those others can be used like that, that is either not their primary function (starter packs I don't really see as "I don't like thing"), is actually embraced by people who are fans of, fit within the demographic the thing is supposed to be mocking (anime was a mistake style posts) or, actually goes into some length about why the author disagrees with something (such as picardia or counter signal memes).

@kbibatti22, see my previous post.
