Were there memes or things close to memes in pre-Internet history or even ancient history? I mean images or sayings that people repeated or plastered because they found it funny.

Well, Shakespeare invented a bunch of phrases that were probably repeated by plebs as a joke (like how people laugh at movie references)

Christ is basically a meme
