I know people sometimes blurt out memes on boards like this one, but have you ever seen anyone act out or say these memes IRL? The rickrolling at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade is an example.
I was at the NY Anime festival, and there were a bunch of guys in V for Vendetta masks marching around. Also, near one of the booths, there was some guy dressed as pedobear in a business suit, and was getting his picture taken with a teen Asian cosplayer girl.

...those guys at NYAF were poseurs. eff them.
as for real life memes... the ultimate one would be to steal CWC's Sonichu Amulet. that would be made of win and lulz.

At my school they always play a song as you head to class in the morning, sorta to get us perked up... Anyways, if you can't yet see where this is going, they Rickrolled us one day.

... it wouldn't be a RickRoll... unless Rick Astley actually came out and sang the song.

... sure. and when LILIUM plays in the background, you can expect a Diclonius to cruelly behead you and dismember your extremities with vile accuracy.
just saying.

I once said "weeaboo" to a friend in real life. I immediately felt like an idiot and promptly shut up for the rest of the day.

a few of my friends (miko, nyamo, etc.) like to freak people out by going internet irl. We say such things as 'so i heer u liek mudkips?' and 'you have lost the game'. you'd be suprised how many people don't know about meme's.

Epic fail and such is kinda ok to use. I use it sometimes but not too much.

Er...no.
Though I have recently found myself saying fail a lot more.
And the radio at my job was playing 'Never Gonna Give You Up' the other day

Pwned, is supposed to be pronounced simply as Owned, but noobs like to talk like they're Jeremy the Pwnerer from Pure Pwnage, and think the P is supose to be pronounced as an O.

At work and around my mates we often use
Fail, Epic Fail.
OMGWTF and ZOMG used to be a couple of sayings we'd throw in.
Every now and then I hear a "lol"
A bunch of old friends used to say "W. T. F. Question mark"
