Who knew that Richard Dawkins' concept of memes, would become one of the hottest trends in the world of social media  in 2012.

Richard Dawkins introduced the concept of memes in his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene as an attempt to explain how information spreads, though that time this concept was applicable on only cultural information but today its applicable everywhere. In fact, its considered to be the fastest way of communication over the internet.

Memes can easily be created on the internet and users can use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to share their memes.

Memes are not only used to spread specific messages but are even used to hype a particular trend for example Angelina Jolie's Leg Bomb at the 2012 Oscars became a internet hit, instantly.

Celebrity memes are the most interesting memes, especially because they remind us that celebrities are not different kind of human beings. 2012 was a year of celebrity meme. Here are some of the top celebrity memes that rocked 2012.
