I swear to you I want to punch anyone who, in 2011, still uses the following memes:

1) <adjective> <noun> is <adjective>

Example: "Tired meme is tired."

2) I am <transitive verb in place of an adjective>

Example: "I am disappoint."

3) Citation needed.

Not only is #3 played-out, it's borderline trolling when used on forums.

Motion to ban anyone using these. Seriously.

Someone ban this whiny troll

Then again, some never get old (at least when used in moderation). Remove verb from dramatic, seemingly urgent sentence and hilarity ensues:

Person 1: "OMFG I JUST ACCIDENTALLY A PENCIL"
Person 2: "Wait, you just accidentally did what?!"
Person 1: "A PENCIL"
Person 2: "What happened with the pencil?"
Person 1: "IS THIS BAD? SHOULD I GO TO DOCTOR?"
Person 2: "Calm down... tell me what happened"
Person 1: "DUDE I JUST ACCIDENTALLY A PENCIL... THE WHOLE THING!"
Person 2: "..."

:p

Chuck Norris facts
Using the words "epic," "win," "fail"

This is more of a marketing meme but it has spilled into common usage on the Internet, but saying "do you [insert product name here as if it is a verb]?" is also really annoying.

Crotchety OP is crotchety.

Seriously, "citation needed" is brief and to-the-point. It's usually used correctly. I'm not going to treat that as a meme.

Putting it in brackets to make it look like Wikipedia is just extra snarky though.

Everyone knows this.
It cannot be denied.
