It was going to happen sooner or later; the Xbox One announcement has already spawned internet memes. While some suck and others are only luke warm on the humor meter, there are a few that are downright funny. Gamers with a prominent funny bone poked at the VCR-like form factor along with the lack of video games featured. Not even Xbox's TV division head Nancy Tellem was safe.
We took a short break from our fits of laughter to pull together this list of the funniest Xbox One memes we've come across so far. Additions are welcomed of course, just drop them in the comments below.

Gather around folks
Right before announcing the Halo: Unto Dawn live-action series the head of Xbox TV Studios, Nancy Tellem (yeah, we had Soulja Boy jokes too) tore down a path to internet meme glory with her marketing zinger, "Xbox will be the water cooler." We couldn't tell if there were more people scratching their heads in confusion or falling out of their seats in laughter.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
One gamer was so excited about opportunity to poke fun at the Xbox One reveal that they pulled out a first generation console and did a bit of do-it-yourself modding.
Retro gaming taken literally.
Photoshopping at it's finest brought us this faux-product shot of the Xbox One. Our prediction is that VCRs will be seeing a boom in sales until the joke dies out.
Ha ha, good Juan
Meet the Xbox One's cousin from south of the border.
Nothing to pimp here, move along.
The Xzibit meme has been ressurected just to take a jab the Xbox One's hard-nosed focus on television. Don't feel too bad Microsoft, everyone clowned the iPad when it was announced too.
For goodness Drake.
In a way, you could call it a complete 360 in the way of design. Get it?
No games, mo problems.
It's got to be tough to be the person that has to talk about a video game console
A quick and snarky guide to the Xbox One.
Wouldn't it be hysterical if this was a slide from an early internal Microsoft presentation?
Redundancy for dummies.
It looks like everyone who still has their classic first generation Xbox is dusting them off to get in on the joke.
All Nintendo everything.
Every gamer can relate to this hilarious meme. To think, Nintendo has had the branding power on the same level as the iPod to media players and Xerox to photocopiers.
Not a single money was taken.
While the initial reaction from the video game community echoes the same sentiment, we're pretty sure this remix on the "shut up and take my money" meme will fade back to it's original form.

At some point, there will be an enormous collection of video games for the Xbox One. That point probably won't be here for another year or so but there's a game on ESPN.
Does this mean there will be a red Xbox One?
Somehow, we've all felt like Milton from Office Space when we realized how much video games had been overlooked during the Xbox One announcment.
Full Steam ahead
How many gamers will flee from video game consoles altogether and join the Steam gang? Business just may pick up for the PC gaming world.
V-H-Yes
Such a low blow but funny as hell. What if in a strange, retro move a video game company put out a console that played games in a VHS format. Of course it would never work but it'd be hilarious.
Game Hova
Here is a classic, comedic rimshot one-liner. Expect many humor challenged nerds to run this gag into the ground well after it's lived its life.
