There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That's how this actually became a meme.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it was r/comedynecromancy. They took unfunny comics/memes and made them funny. They were an offshoot of r/comedycemetary, they just reposted unfunny comics/memes to poke fun at.
