A forced meme is an attempt at making one's attempt at humor a part of interweb history, or a meme. Differs from actual memes from being:

• A: unfunny

and/or

• B: Not having a funny story/copypasta attached to it.

Ever since the explosion of fame the O RLY owl meme had on the internets, now everyone wants to take a shot at making the next internet meme. A meme is forced (usually on /b/ on forced meme mondays, every monday) by having one person or a group of people try to spread the meme all over the interweb, or pretending that they like the meme so other people may catch on, like a fad. An example of a forced meme is "MAARRGEE, YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART!" A faked, forced meme by members of Something Awful. It is very rare that a forced meme becomes an actual meme (See:Desu).

What is it that makes people force memes? Why? (Level?)
