         Introduction

                Almost everyone and their monkey’s uncle has seen a meme in today’s modern world. Everywhere you turn on the internet it seems there is some meme trying to make you laugh. Some of you might be asking, “What is this ‘meme’ of which you speak?” and that is what I’m going to answer by analyzing the “one does not simply” meme. This meme is often used as a parody of Boromir’s famous line “One does not simply walk into Mordor” (from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring) to describe difficult tasks’ that people think is simple or easy, when it is in fact, much harder than they make it sound. Analyzing this one meme I will be able to explain what qualifies a meme to be part the genre, what the prerequisites are to qualify it to be part of a specific meme series, and of course what makes a meme really a meme.
