There is a fine line between a good meme and a bad meme. It is a slippery slope that can so easily be fallen down. Some memes are just better than others, objectively. Some memes were once good and are now so, so bad. After a certain amount of time, many memes have run their course and just need to be laid to rest for good, whether they were ever funny or not. There is no shame in admitting that once upon a time these memes were a little laughable, but still using them today is just cringeworthy.

Do everyone a favor and leave dead memes alone, please and thank you. Reddit's mournful subreddit /r/ComedyCemetery is a subreddit that takes users for a walk through the meme graveyard. Every old meme, bad meme, cringe meme, or minion meme can be found on there. Here are just 25 of those dead memes.
