Yes, but memes have one characteristic: They vanish almost as fast as they appear. I have seen many altcoins coming and going. DOGE doesn't really differ. It stands out because of the silliness of the meme, but surely not because of the skills of its devs.
It also stands out as one of the altcoins with the largest support network who is actively acting in much the same way the original bitcoin community acted on 4chan years ago, giving away coins and having fun with it. Doge knows its an underdoge and people want to fight for it. You may say it stands out due to its silliness but I argue it stands out due to its powerful community.
