Memes in Advertising and Corporate Memes represent the intersection of viral internet culture and traditional marketing. This genre typically highlights the 'uncanny valley' of corporate attempts to appear relatable, often epitomized by the 'How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?' template featuring Steve Buscemi. While some brands successfully leverage meme culture to build community, many fall into the trap of 'cringe' by using outdated formats or forced humor. These memes serve as a satirical critique of capitalism, brand personas, and the fast-paced nature of online trends that leave slower corporate hierarchies struggling to keep up with the current zeitgeist.
