Yeah, but I think that an inside joke gaining popularity is the whole premise of modern memes.
In the beginning, memes were something most people could understand. But now a lot memes don't make any sense unless you have enough shared experience to understand them. Even here people were confused about posts about the building if they missed the begging until they gained enough experience to understand.
And I think that's a good sign. You can have shared meaningful experiences through memes. Before the internet inside jokes were typically limited to a few close friends. But now we can have that with strangers.
And it will make a mark. A week from now the building meme will have died, however a year from now when someone finds the meme on random with 12 watermarks, they will repost it and everyone who was here will remember.
The original version isn't even funny. It only works because it's a trend. The highway exit meme that @silvermyth posted is so much funnier than the reposts.
Sharing an "inside" joke while withholding further info could possibly be seen as obnoxious.
Also, the meme isn't funny.
If you require proof, it has been compared to the "moth/lamp" meme.
