    A boilerplate is basically a template with some adjustments to fit the situation.

    It’s also a term for packed snow.

        I think they mean in a boilerplate joke sense.

        Making a meme is like making a joke where the punchline is basically worked out for you, you just need to figure out ingredients.

        I’m not great with meme templates but take the Drake ugh/yay one. You just need something we dislike and a related thing we like. The punch line is Drake’s expression etc.

        There’s more to a good meme but…

        I agree it’s just another way to say the same thing.

        Unless OP means memes are like packed snow.
