(#12) The Star Wars Kid
One of the first viral video internet memes in history starred a fat guy, a fat kid, actually, playing Star Wars with himself in front of a camera. People made fun of the kid for being such a huge nerd, but then started editing reali lightsabers onto his hands, setting his dances to electronic music, and even making it seem like he was doing great moves to avoid laser blasts.
Here's a good compilation of what some people did with his video:
Ah, they early memes. The kid ended up becoming a lawyer and actually lost all the weight:
He's successful guy now, but the Internet notoriety he experienced as a kid actually caused him some trouble. He was bullied as a kid, forced to drop out of his high school, and diagnosed with depression. He eventually sued the families of the three classmates who leaked the video.

(#5) Butthurt Dweller
The Butthurt Dweller meme features an unsightly young male who likely has never been with a woman, but sure likes to judge them as often as his popular image macro meme will allow. Smug, delusional, and never one to pass up an extra helping of butter, the Butthurt Dweller can be easily found playing videos games, trolling Reddit, or watching adult films in his mother's basement.
The Butthurt Dweller is a special kind of person who can form a reasonable opinion of something without knowing a single thing about it. Women, religion, music: they're all fair game for his criticism.
The worst/best part? The Butthurt Dweller meme features an image of an actual person. KimmoKM, a Finnish "basement dweller," stars in and inspired the meme when his smug mug was posted on a Finnish website along with the comment "ugly whale, I wouldn't f*ck her" in regards to a beautiful woman posted on an image board.
That quick moment of narcissism was enough to launch an Internet meme that would blow up in 2010. The notorious Internet forum 4chan took hold of the meme and exploited the troll in dozens of languages over the next few months.
KimmoKM became an Internet legend and was actually a good sport about the whole thing. In an IRC interview, he not only talked about his approval of the meme, but also that the statements made by the Butthurt Dweller, or Gordo Granudo as he's also known, are pretty close to his own thoughts and opinions.
So terrifyingly enough, this guy exists.
