Auguste and Evan come together to discuss the role of memes in today’s culture and which of them will stand the test of time. Using the recent meme-opedia of Dudley Newright, they match up the best memes in a bracketed tournament where each meme faces off with one another in three successive rounds. Applying the most rigorous scientific standards and bringing the full force of their knowledge of current affairs and internet culture to bear, Auguste and Evan will unlock the meaning and ultimate value of each meme. Hopefully, this discussion of online lexicography will help audiences learn what some of these terms and images are supposed to signify so that they too can appear cool, knowledgable, and oh-so-based.
