honestly someday we need to get down and make a full meme tier list. my contributions:

cd-i memes are classic and even after over a decade have spanned the test of time. s-tier.

steamed hams recreates that classic feel of most old memes to a wonderful degree. takes the "x but y is z" format to much greater heights, and with a good scene to do it with, it once again feels pretty timeless. s.

half a-press is also pretty golden, but in a different sort of way. you really just gotta appreciate the dude's dedication to using quantum physics to beat a mario 64 level without pressing the a button. s.

mama luigi and pingas are kind of cdi's lesser cousins, but still pretty memorable, holding the test of time pretty well, though they exist with a little more visible age. a-tier.

i'm willing to negotiate this if necessary but i got a kick out of nutshack memes while they were happening. not quite to the extent of cdi, steamed hams, or half a-press, but they do have that sort of "how did it get this bad" charm, though the source material is also much harder to stomach, making it hard to appreciate the sort of "good-hearted bad" you get from a cdi cutscene. a.

we are number one feels like a b or c tier meme in terms of execution, it's really just a knockoff of the better nutshack meme, and the videos often had lousier execution. however, it did undeniably help out stefan karl, which has to be worth something. i'll negotiate this one.

most "fad memes," you know, memes that last for like a week before fading into obscurity forever, are c-tier. connect four, chicken spongebob, "crave that mineral," fad memes new and old are that one in-joke that's briefly funny, but holds little staying power and feel run into the ground if unchecked.

ugandan knuckles. racist? check. unfunny? check. run into the ground? check. f-tier for sure.

that's all i have to contribute for now. there's obviously much more, ofc. i'm not sure what to put in d-tier. it's hard to think of memes that are "bad but not really bad"
