Internet humor - especially memes - are significantly self-referential, so often the jokes aren't as funny unless you know that *this* is a reference to *that* which was a spin-off of *that* which was an homage to *this* and on and on. For those following the rapid ebb and flow, you get the thrill of a joke that builds on some inside knowledge (and for everyone else there's KnowYourMeme(dot)com).

Thank you! This is probably why she doesn't get them. She has zero time for TV and web surfing. She's probably feeling frustrated at not knowing what is going on. (And I have no time for TV & such either, so that's why I don't get them!)
