        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.
