Behold, as these three guys take you on an hour and a half long discussion of Internet meme generation. This isn't just an exploration of the memes themselves--these guys take a serious look at the groups and subgroups where the ideas seem to continually originate from. Of particular interest is the part early on about 4chan's /b/ imageboard (beginning at about 3:45) Rapid combination and recombination of ideas and content, along with complete anonymity seems to be a recipe for exactly the kind of hive mind we've been talking about.
Warning: This hour and a half long video is an hour and a half long.

the presenters' slightly ironic, game show host vocal delivery is, thankfully, a very small meme.
I am in complete agreemence.
Yes. Strangely uncomfortable, but informative!
Go outside and play!
