the greatest meme of the 202nd decade (2010's) according to a poll towards the end of 2019, the meme is still going strong,
for the most part, and will forever be superior to other fauna based memes around the time of it's first appearance (namely grumpy cat and especially nyan cat,) doge is a shiba inu from japan, named Kabosu, who turned world famous due to one
picture taken with it having a distinctive facial expression at a camera angle that made it very appealing, originally, the meme had Kabosu's face
photoshopped into many different scenarios with colorful text using a form of broken english, often using the term "wow", the meme eventually died but made a comeback in 2019, starting with distorted versions of the original picture of Kabosu to resemble other species as well as other things such as minecraft people, the meme got progressively funnier from there, people tried to replace the meme with another meme, called cheems, or cheemsburger, featuring another shiba inu named Balltze, though it was successful for a while the meme still died, as Kabosu got older, people attempted to replace the meme a second time, called doge 2, which the meme died even quicker than cheems, today, the current meta for doge memes is the buff doge vs crying cheems, which is essentially a knockoff of the
virgin vs chad meme format, but it still works in some cases where virgin vs chad wouldn't.
