Here at Memebase we pride ourselves for remembering that age is just a number. That sentiment isn't just true for people - it's true for memes as well. Sometimes when you're so focused on fresh and trending memes you miss out on the quality jokes of yore. We've included some excellent classic memes in this gallery to make sure they get the respect they deserve. Happy scrolling.

It's official: we're kind of tired of seeing Joaquin Phoenix Joker memes everywhere. So when our colleagues told us the latest Joker format was of the Heath Ledger era, we were pretty damn relieved. The meme uses a scene from The Dark Knight, during which the Joker is dangling Rachel Dawes off the roof of a building. When Batman demands that Joker let her go, the villain says "Very poor choice of words" and promptly drops her to her death. A subtitled screen capture of the moment is being used to indicate that, well, a poor choice of words was chosen for any given situation. And gosh, there are so many situations (especially on the internet) that deserve the poor choice of words stamp. 

Some memes to help you fight the pain of Terrible Tuesday!

Let the battle begin.
