Meme
As described on Wikipedia…
A meme (/miːm/ MEEM) is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture — often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
We all have laughed, shared and even get related to some of the most creative yet simple digital arts called Memes. These are some of the simplest creative digital arts which use the day to day images from very familiar movie clips, sit-coms or cartoons and add some hilarious contextual text over them to convey a funny message.

People relate to memes and react immediately because they can visualize the way the dialogue is spoken by the actor in the meme — an interesting phenomenon & wonderful thing a human brain can do. At a glance, it looks simple, an image clip from a movie with slight text on it — but the impact it creates is different — it makes our brain visualize the actor in the meme repeat those textual dialogues in his own voice in the exact same situation as in the movie — thus providing an awesome feel to react for that given context and makes us feel relevant.
