The Gene Wilder one is a classic.

Why are such memes described as "dank"?

The memes are "dank" because that's a word that's used to praise marijuana. But by now, "dank memes" is just a thing, self-consciously using recent but well-established jargon to ironically comment on the silliness of much meme jargon. (See, I am aware of all internet traditions.)
One criticism I'd have of several of the memes: don't call it "Bayesian Regret", call it "Voter Satisfaction Efficiency".
I definitely LOLed at Mayor Blueberry, and smiled at several others.

One could equally ask - why are such dank things described as "memes"?

"Meme" has now been used to mean "a digital picture combined with text, intended to be shared over social media" many more times than it was ever used to mean more generally "a piece of information, such as a behavior pattern, that spreads and evolves in a manner analogous to genetic evolution, by means of imitation."

The power of memes cannot be understated. Look what Pepe the Frog did for Trump.

Very dank, but could you make "criteria" singular?
