Please provide the room with a definition of "meme."
original definition: an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
Second definition: an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, with slight variations.
So like the OP, then.
is this something that is being passed around with variations over time? If no, it isn't a meme, it is just a screenshot of a joke. However, if this was based on something and is a variation of it, or something that has seen the spread and change aspect, then it would be.
Is this some new cultural element, or system of behavior, that is being passed along? If yes, then it is. If no, then it is just a screenshot of a joke.
This is just a screenshot of a joke.
