Memes are viral pictures that usually come with a personalized caption. These are usually shared through social networking sites such as Facebook. Most of the captions are humorous and poke fun at people and situations. Some of the well-known memes are Success Baby, Good Girl Gina, All The Things, and Scumbag Steve. It’s easy to make memes nowadays and upload it on Facebook, because of the popular meme generators on the Internet. You just have to choose a meme, type your own caption, and post it for sharing purposes.

Another form of popular memes are ecards. These ecards usually have old-fashioned pictures of persons and they come with a caption that is oftentimes sarcastic in humor. Like meme generators, you can also create your own ecard with its funny caption.

These memes are liked and shared on Facebook, because people can relate to the shock and humorous value of it.

 2. Inspirational quotes
