They’re usually just mot funny and too silly. If I had to choose one meme that I think is funny, it would probably be “You’re my favorite pizza place” from Smosh/Smosh Pit. Because it’s funny. It has a pattern to it. Whenever it happens in a Try Not to Laugh video, you always wonder what direction it’s going to go in. Most of them have the same formula: Since Shayne Topp is the one who made it up, he’ll usually walk out with a red prop phone and fake dial a random pizza place and say “You’re my favorite pizza place”. Then he’ll do the same thing with a different pizza place. The joke here is that people don’t think you can have more than one favorite thing. The “person speaking” to Shayne on the phone doesn’t know that he called a different place and said the same thing. That makes it more funny to Shayne. Then the third call is usually something totally different. If the joke ever strays from this specific formula, it usually uses a method of misdirection to make it funny.

The other “memes” created by YouTubers that I like, I don’t really see as “memes”. They seem more like running gags to me, because they’re not funny, but it’s routine and specific to that channel.
