The One Meme to Rule Them All

Origin

The origin of The One Meme to Rule Them All is mysterious and shrouded in uncertainty. Legend has it that one dark April night, iFunny user Pebis was sitting in front of his computer, scrapping his mind for a way to get around his artist's block. After hours of fruitless labor, he had all but given up. As he reached to close his laptop, God himself seized control of him, seizing his limbs and sight. The next morning Pebis woke suddenly in his bed. With no recollection of last night's events, he cautiously opened his laptop to find but one file left on it. This is it. No other meme that exists or will ever exist can pose a threat to the superiority of this post. No one understands it, not even its creator, and no one ever will. It is our legacy. Someday, if we are so fortunate, this is what will be found by other intelligent beings across the universe. This will be our gift to them. They will know that at some point, one day, this universe was inhabited by Gods.

What is it?

The One Meme to Rule them All is a still picture of Jojo and Jiba standing on the "You Know I Had to Do it to 'Em" sidewalk with the song "Can't Tell Me Nothing" by Kanye West playing in the background. This is all that can be explained about it. It is not explainable. This is the nature of what makes it so great. It means so much but holds so little. It is both a perfect synonym for the human condition and the opposite of everything were are.

Usually the purpose of a meme is that it is a joke that makes sense only to the few who were around for its creation and initial spreading. Every great meme ever is an inside joke to someone, or is a message or statement hidden behind something seemingly dumb or useless. What makes The One Meme to Rule Them All special is that it is a combination of so many meaningful things from the past decade, yet holds absolutely no static merit or message or joke or anything.

Why is is so great?

The One Meme to Rule Them All is both meaningful and meaningless. It exists in this superimposed state of being where everything it is, it is not, and everything it isn't, it is. A good example of this is to try to explain it to someone else. Because one both understands it, and doesn't, the explanation just crumbles in on itself.
