Let's look at some quality memes.

Devin Nunes pre-surgery

Devin Nunes has beclowned himself for years on the edgy alt-comedy channel “C-SPAN” where he routinely speaks with the ironic chyron “Intelligence Committee.” Nunes successfully skirted an ethics inquiry and then wrote a four-page memo claiming the FBI is a giant conspiracy against Donald Trump that was as flimsy as you’d expect a four-page memo to be.

But lately, Nunes has made news for filing a $250 million lawsuit against the internet for making fun of him, which reads as comically as you might expect.

We will leave to others to assess the quality of the Nunes lawsuit — which you can read here — and focus on the more pressing question: evaluating the best meme in the complaint:

As you can see here, Nunes appears to form the back end of a human centipede. Does this fairly accurately depict the thinking that went into the Nunes Memo? Absolutely. Does it suggest that Nunes is, in reality, surgically attached to Trump’s anus? No. That goes a long way to why this lawsuit is completely frivolous.

We are now graced with living in a reality where this image graces the pages of a $250 million lawsuit. And they said America wasn’t great again.

But is this really great meme-making? Not sure it stands up to some of the great legal memes we’ve been seeing over the last few weeks. As we periodically do, here are some of the best memes from the Law School Memes for Edgy T14s group. Again, I’m not naming any of the genius creators not because I’m like those Barstool Sports dicks, but because I presume none of you want to get caught on the pages of ATL before your interviews. If you’d like to be named and get direct credit, by all means let me know.

Remember this meme format? Sometimes the classics deserve a second bite at the internet apple.

It’s getting to be that time of year again:

This is an older tweet that got recirculated because it focuses on the two kinds of people out there and how you’re the wrong kind:

And somehow this one really resonated around here:
