You're describing British pantomime

Comedy already does this, essentially. A lot of it

memetic themselves. |

Maybe a comedian could revolve his act around some
drab
sarcastic display of delicately interwoven memetic
entendre, as if not even noticing his prowess. That
might
be funny. It's probably called Stephen Wright. |
