Most memes live and die quickly on the Internet — they’re popular until no one gives a sh*t anymore because they’ve found the next picture of an even cuter dog wearing glasses. But every so often, one will stick around for months, which in Internet terms is a lifetime, if not years. I can’t even count how high of a real-life number that is. Comedy Central has begun releasing clips from the upcoming season of “Futurama” (which is back June 20), a show that’s produced one of the most well known and long-lasting memes out there, “Not Sure If.” Along with Fry’s ever-useful indecision, here are 9 other memes that originated from TV shows.
