It seems to be just about everywhere for the past 2 or 3 years.
Can anyone think of a bigger meme? I think it was so successful because it's so flexible, you can use it for almost anything and everything.

It may not be the biggest meme of all time but 60's Spider Man is the Greatest Meme of all time!

Trollface or RageGuy might come close, but Keep Calm is probably it.
If any meme has to take its place, I wouldn't mind it to be The Skeleton War.

I'd say the original 60s smiley face, Keep On Truckin', Pissing Calvin and the Hang in There Kitty were bigger.

Not if you consider religions, philosophies, and ideologies "memes", no.

It's heavily associated with Walmart these days, nonetheless, thinking back, that yellow smiley face probably went way further. |

As good as it's history is I think it will be a bit of work to make Kilroy into a meme nowadays. |

Considering that "Keep Calm and Carry On" was a WW2 promotional poster in UK, I think that ole' Smiley isn't the longest running meme, though he had more play over the years. |

While the "Keep Calm" propaganda posters were designed during WWII and some where even created, they were never distributed publicly and went completely unseen by the public until the year 2000, when it re-emerged and started catching on after a bookstore discovered a copy and placed it in their shop. |

The keep calm thing reminds me a lot of the baby on board signs personally. But it's gotta be  for biggest |

Lamest meme certainly. I cringe whenever I see anything regarding it. Super lame.

how did that damn thing even start? Nazis. Seriously, the British Government designed and printed up the Keep Calm posters for World War 2 but never actually used them. Some guy found it in storage and hung it in his shop in 2000 something. That's really all there is to it. |
