Memes may come and go, but the human action of memeing will never die, at to the lowest degree every bit long as the Internet exists for u.s. to share photos of Distracted Beau and Blinking White Guy with all of our extremely online friends.

Naturally, information technology was memed.

84. White Hook

Thanks to the multiplatform spread of these kinds of videos on Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, this thought took off, spawning plenty of other home attempts without ever fully becoming a challenge. Mostly, information technology'south stayed in its lane of "implausible viral video" -- people have speculated that the sink video, specifically, was doctored -- which we have to respect.

82. Celebrities equally things tweet threads

Though this meme's shelf life will be short, the "celebrities as inanimate objects" trend will live on as a powerful, admitting niche, moment in internet time. What started equally i user pairing Beyoncé's colorblocked outfits with sea sponges blossomed into something weird and beautiful: Mariah Carey as whisks, Ben Affleck as Dunkin drinks, and Cole Sprouse as bottles of booze.

81. Avenge the Fallen

When Marvel Studios released the extremely dramatic affiche campaign for Avengers: Endgame, featuring colorized headshots for all the characters who survived The Snap and blackness and white ones for everyone who didn't, the big news was that Black Panther's fan-favorite little sis Shuri had perished. The second-biggest news was that the poster format was infinitely memeable, prompting the denizens of the Internet to make their own campaigns honoring all the other classic characters killed off before their prime. Some of us will never forgive Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom for what they did to that poor Brachiosaurus.

eighty. Wrong answers merely

Fairly self-explanatory, "wrong answers only" tweets had a moment in 2017, died down, and came dorsum potent in summer 2019.

79. Stonks

Stonks might become you fame and fortune, just they can't purchase yous happiness.

78. I don't know who needs to hear this, merely

Weirdly plenty, the phrase "I don't know who needs to hear this, only" get-go became a meme thanks to Christian Twitter back in 2017 when Twitter user @theoQuotes tweeted something about God'due south plan. That died down, but information technology caught a 2d wind in 2019 when rapper Wale tweeted about jelly belonging on a "TurkeyBaconEggNCheese Sandwich." People ran with it as a blanket inspirational tool.

77. Gamer girl bath water

In July, pop video game streamer Belle Delphine took full advantage of the capitalist organization and sold her dirty bath water online, which people obviously freaked out over when false reports of a herpes breakout from drinking said bathwater started swirling. Honestly, nosotros regret not thinking of doing this start.

76. Powerful Shaggy

Who the hell knows why people thought it'd exist a good idea to plough Shaggy into a Super Saiyan, just hither nosotros are. Though this misreckoning Dragon Brawl/Scooby Doo crossover was first memed in 2017, information technology was revived in early on 2019 with fervor. (The release of the new movie Dragon Ball Super: Brolyprobably had something to do with it.) Version 1 of Ultra Instinct Shaggy was all almost the cartoon version of Scooby Doo, and while that'south nonetheless in play here, Version two has introduced Matthew Lillard'south live action Shaggy into the mix, morphing the meme into Powerful Shaggy.

75. The Jeremy Renner app

Jeremy Renner's Jeremy Renner app was basically merely a platform for Jeremy Renner to mail pictures of himself forth with messages to fans to have a expert weekend until Online Guy Stefan Heck sowed chaos on the Jeremy Renner app by posting the word "porno," leading to its demise. It was fun while it lasted, we estimate?

74. Groovy Kermit

Remember the dancing hot dog of 2017? This nifty dancing Kermit is the 2019 equivalent of that, starting equally an AR Snapchat filter in January and pivoting to a vibe-y "that feeling when" type of video -- specifically this ane, of Kermit dancing alone in a corner.

73. Game of Thrones memes

Let'southward confront it: the Game of Thrones memes have been much meliorate than the actual show this season. Merely equally every week brings us a new episode to pore over, every week a new meme surfaces to ravage the cyberspace for seven days before we all motion on to the adjacent one. First it was the dragons who were a little Besides into the thought of Jon and Daenerys' incest; then it was Bran staring downwards every person in Winterfell, which led to some truly inspired "London Bridge" and Curb Your Enthusiasm dubs; and then Daenerys' squinty I-would-rather-roast-you-alive smiling proved relatable to artists and retail employees alike.

72. The new Sword & Shield Pokémon

This is what happens when you announce new things in the meme era. In early June, Nintendo appear its new Pokémon game, Sword & Shield, along with the game'due south new starter Pokémon and a few new game features, notably "Dynamax," in which you can make your guys really, really large. The internet did what it does, memeing the shit out of the game'south news. Having now played the game, we tin can ostend that Dynamax-ing your Pokémon rules.

71. SpongeBob in drag

In a theme mutual to this listing, the origins of the SpongeBob in drag carrying a handbag while traveling the earth accept no existent footing in our everyday reality. One 24-hour interval in belatedly May, Twitter user @DlXlENORMOUS tweeted out her new profile flick, SpongeBob from the Season 1 episode "Mermaid Human and Barnacle Male child" photoshopped in front of the Eiffel Tower, along with a thread of the sentient sponge in unlike locales around the earth. The nonsequitur took off, becoming a meme that's honestly pretty good!

70. Meryl Streep scream

Meryl Streep has been memed before and she'll be memed again, just this most contempo dip into misappropriated moments is lifted from the get-go episode of Big Little Lies Season two. Playing the mother of the human who was killed in Season one at a lunch that sets her off, Streep lets out a piercing shriek of grief, which is hilarious out of context.

69. Bottle cap challenge

What started every bit a random machismo-signaling MMA meme challenge busted its way into the mainstream when reigning UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway challenged reigning popular blues singer-songwriter John Mayer to open a canteen with merely a well-planned spin-kick, who, in plough, challenged reigning Transporter Jason Statham to practise the aforementioned. Similar a character in i of his films, Statham non only executed the move, but straight up murdered it. And so everyone was suddenly doing it, from Kendall Jenner on a jetski to Justin Bieber to Mariah Carey to Diplo. Of grade, the trophy goes to literal legend Donnie Yen, who doesn't even need to look at his canteen cap, thanks very much.

68. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper perform "Shallow" at the Oscars

This year's Oscar ceremony was pretty breezy and mostly fun, aside from some ill-advised wins but it was Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga who stole the nighttime, patently, with their rendition of "Shallow," not yet the Oscar-winning All-time Original Vocal from A Star Is Born. Towards the end of their intimate, mesmerizing operation that was apparently planned for months, Cooper sets his mic downwards and walks over to sit down next to Gaga at the pianoforte, leaning in then their 2 faces become one and they Nigh start making out right there in the center of the Dolby Theatre. Nosotros all know this couple. We're friends with this couple, or nosotros've seen them getting weird in public at, like, a Panera or something, and for Cooper and Gaga to replicate this exact feeling on-screen in front of millions of people... well, that'southward talent. And a meme.

67. "I'm gonna tell my kids..."

"I'm gonna tell my kids this was [insert thing hither]," with [funny, incorrect photo], is the upgrade of "wrong answers only."

66. Vibe check

Hath you checked your vibes lately? If not, it might be time for your annual checkup.

65. "you were at my wedding Denise…."

Out of context, "you were at my wedding Denise" reads as an incredible own of the white lady named Denise who came to your hymeneals and later forgot about your special bond! In reality, its origins are peculiarly abrasive, stemming from a conservative Twitter beefiness between now-fired Federalist columnist DC "Denise" McAllister and Meghan McCain, John McCain's girl. McAllister had called the cultural value of daytime talk showThe View in question, to which Meghan McCain -- who, over again, is John McCain'southward daughter, if y'all've forgotten -- replied with the now-memed line.

64. Thicc starfish

When ane sees a thicc starfish bustin' out at the aquarium, you lot gotta document it for the online hordes who will definitely find the thought of a starfish with a butt, a la Patrick Star, very funny.

63. Me and the boys

How did a squadron of Spider-Man villains from the '60s turn into a wholesome meme format in 2019? These things but happen.

62. Cultural impact

This funny little meme fabricated the rounds by brushing off a very important piece of Art in favor of something more beloved and relevant to 2019.

61. Vitrify ASCII sheriff

Take the emoji sheriff,  and make him buff. Then, run him through the ASCII generator, and voila: the buff sheriff. Not to exist outdone by fellow ASCII memes of early 2019, ASCII tea, ASCII bract, and final only absolutely not least, ASCII vitrify bunnies.

sixty. "Act My Age"

Back in 2014 AD, nosotros still had Vine, and therefore joy. That's where this video comes from: Viner Aspect Za'Vier rounded up his blood brother and mom, who is a choreographer, to moving picture his outset-ever Vine video to the opening of One Direction's song "Deed My Age." Unlike any of our first Vine posts, Aspect Za'Vier's went viral. Later having secondary acclaim in 2017, the video is dorsum in 2019 for more jokes. Memes never die.

59. Scantron tests

If you remember scantron tests, you probably recollect the singled-out joy of making patterns and spelling out words while bubbling in your answers. Funny scantron tweets take been around for a while, but the meme didn't take off until simply recently. Ranging from extremely nighttime to a petty more than whimsical, the scantron meme is the nostalgic throwback content all of us meme hounds deserve.

58. Choking Sasuke

"Who is this anime guy and why is he a meme?" you might exist asking, especially if you're unfamiliar with the incredibly pop serial Naruto. Nosotros can answer the get-go part: Sasuke Uchiha is a major actor in the anime and manga who's made it his life'south mission to impale his older, estranged brother, Itachi, for slaughtering their association. Not cool! This specific still comes from a scene early-ish in the serial, where Itachi comes for Sasuke and the two get into a kerfuffle that does non become well for Sasuke. He ends up getting choked out by his blood brother, who says to him, "You are weak considering y'all don't accept enough hate." As for that 2d question, why -- honestly who knows. The cyberspace is a weird, unknowable place, human being.

57. "...and it SHOWS"

The kind of disgruntled not-sequitur language that has permeated websites like Tumblr for nearly a decade finally made its way onto the chief stage of the Net this year with "...and it shows," a relatable content meme that'll have you saying "*I* do that" at your screens for days, whether it's being squeezed out of your clique while walking on the sidewalk or property the flashlight for your dad while he yelled at a car.

56. The return of creepy kids' YouTube

Kids' YouTube is riddled with weird ass videos definitely made by shady algorithms from channels with origins veiled in subterfuge. Some of these low-budget CGI videos should absolutely not be seen by children under any circumstance, and others are 10 minutes of rainbow animals that walk through a fountain car wash thing and come out the other side as different rainbow animals walking to bumping house music like it'south a manner catwalk. Whatever the educational purpose of the latter is meant to be, watching them is totally engrossing, especially and specifically for adult audiences with broken brains.

55. Joker

Joker might non have been a great movie, only it did spawn some nifty memes. Tiny Joker? Dancing Joker? "If you didn't catch the reference"? C'monday.

54. Bowling alley strike videos

Chances are if y'all grew up in suburbia, you probably went to your fair share of bowling birthday parties betwixt the ages of approximately 7 and 15. If y'all were decent (or lucky) enough to bowl a strike, then you know exactly the kind of baroque, 3D-animated graphics of a sentient bowling pivot or whatever that would pop up on the score screen to celebrate your accomplishments, spares and other rare shots included. Some online genius took this niche idea, and memed information technology with other equally equally strange videos, such as this one of buff Garfield.

53. Sophie Turner Juuling

Sophie Turner, the Juul queen, our vape goddess, is out there living her best post-Game of Thrones life. She'southward slamming wine in the front row of basketball games, beingness a superhero, starring in her fiancé's music videos. But at no time is she most in her element as when she'south Juuling, which is apparently always. The 'Sophie Turner Juuling' meme actually took off when a photographer caught a behind-the-scenes moment of Turner, Maisie Williams, and Isaac Hempstead Wright shooting the large Game of Thrones scene where Bran becomes king. Williams is wearing sunglasses, Wright is cheesing in shorts, and Turner, always our mod icon, is Juuling. The obsession of seeing Turner with her Juul has spun off into its ain Instagram account -- as information technology should.

52. MoM DiD You lot take mY JuuL

This might be the hardest to source meme of the year. Across knowing it came from TikTok and the app's voice modulator, there'south petty else to become off of likewise the proliferation of videos using the "mom did you have my juul" conversation audio track, but it's so funny that finding the original barely matters. (Still, we'd like to know who's responsible.)

51. Yee yee juice

This TikTok meme/claiming is a natural extension of the "yee haw calendar" that was sweeping popular culture off its cowboy boots earlier Baton Ray Cyrus intervened. Also known as the yeehaw challenge, the glow-up videos typically go like this: set up to the pre-chorus of Lil Nas X'due south "One-time Town Road (I Got Horses In The Back)," the person on camera will drink out of a cup labeled "yee yee juice," and at the chorus drop, they'll turn into the yee haw'd version of themselves in stiff denim or jorts and cowboy hats and flannel. Giddyup.

50. Black hole

It'southward a truth universally best-selling that no matter how insanely incredible a new scientific discovery is, the denizens of the Internet will practise their best to deface it with memes. The black pigsty at the center of nearby galaxy M87 was photographed in April of this year, a feat many thought was impossible, given blackness holes' ability to suck up even the particles of low-cal itself. But they did it, and then we did it. The poor blackness hole went through the meme ringer in its starting time 24 hours, combined with everything from Shrek to surprised Pikachu to… bagels. Whatever y'all do, simply don't zoom and enhance.

49. Cheesing

Throwing harmless stuff on defenseless creatures: It'due south funny. For 2019's virtually wholesome owns, look no further than the "cheesing" trend. Moving picture this: a babe, or a cat, or some other adorable thing that's non as smart as usa having its entire universe blown asunder by the unproblematic act of tossing a moist Kraft single on its face. Good, wholesome fun ensues.

48. Autotune cats

Cats are especially weird, which means they tin be made to practice very funny things. That's why, seemingly simultaneously, a agglomeration of people came up with the idea to plow their kitties into pop stars by shoving reverb-y mics into their disapproving little faces or autotuning them when they refuse to shut up. At to the lowest degree, if your cat insists on waking y'all upwardly at a fourth dimension that doesn't exist, like 4 in the freakin' morning time, you tin take some joy out of the situation.

47. Sparking joy

Since New Years, "KonMari"-ing has gone from a controversial decluttering tactic to an embraced household method of purging the shit you don't demand anymore, thank you to Tidying Up with Marie Kondo that dropped on Netflix Jan ane. A significant tenet of Marie Kondo'due south organizational conventionalities organisation is "sparking joy," and whether or non an object does drives one'due south decision to continue said object or thank it out loud and let it go. Turning the catchphrase into a meme was depression-hanging fruit; information technology was basically destined to be used for people to brand dumb jokes online from the second anybody became obsessed with the reality series.

46. Paul Rudd on Hot Ones

Paul Rudd went on Complex's popular fly eating webseries Hot Ones and had this extremely relatable commutation with host Sean Evans that would memorialize his invitee appearance while tolerating spicy sauces.

45. "PrAXiS"

By now, if yous haven't listened to the semi-popular, barely "leftist"/"socialist"/"communist"/whateverist Red Scare podcast, you've probably heard the criticism. (If you've avoided all of it, god bless y'all.) The hosts, Dasha Nekrasova, Anna Khachiyan, and their producer Meg Murnane, make jokes that examination the boundaries of taste, to put information technology politely. Information technology was only natural that a comedian from another sphere would eventually parody their mock-everything tone with a viral video that gave us the rallying cry, "PRAXIIIIIIIS," for situations where you lot don't actually know what the hell you're talking about but want to sound like you do.

44. Untitled Goose Game

We dearest that no-good, rotten goose who steals!

43. This shot is brilliant and should exist shown in whatsoever film class

Game of Thrones ended this jump on a annotation that was divisive, to say the least. Daenerys Targaryen concluded up embracing her family unit'south tendencies toward fire and blood, and when her villain reveal finally happened, it included a shot of her walking out of a ruined castle with her dragon Drogon opening his wings backside her in the background. It'due south a cool shot! But one fan ignited the ire of "I took a flick course in higher" Twitter, past posting that that shot deserved more than recognition than most are willing to give the tits and dragons show. Naturally, everyone had their own "this shot is brilliant," and Game of Thrones birthed its very last meme.

42. Me explaining to my mom

Think all those bizarre requests you fabricated of your parents when you were immature and dumb? The internet has finally memed the experience, a tribute to the many dramatic ways in which you lot interacted with the adults around yous when they just couldn't understand why all this weird stuff was so important to you. The pictures in question actually have nothing to practise with the meme itself (pretty typical): the first is a nonetheless from a video posted by former Vine star Quenlin Blackwell screaming in the bathroom, and the second is taken from a casual Instagram post by Ms. Juicy from Little Women: Atlanta, merely, together, they create something instantly relatable.

41. Spider-think

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Poesy, bated from being easily-downward one of the best animated movies in years, managed to spark a meme of its own, taken from a screenshot of two of the Spider-people crouching downwardly for a quick think. Taking the format of the Distracted Fellow meme from 2018, the overlaid text could be annihilation, from y'all listening to your friend talk nigh their weird obsession to… holding the flashlight for your dad while he yelled at a car.

forty. I made queso

Yikes. Fox News co-host and chef(?) Dana Perino upset everyone who wasn't already wringing their hands during Super Basin Sunday with her photo of a cursed queso that swiftly went viral thanks to how freakin' gross it looked. Naturally, the comedians of the Cyberspace rushed to post photos of their own "queso," each nastier and more inedible than the next.

39. Society

Powerful, if you stop to remember about it…….

38. Cats film trailer

The twenty-four hours before the trailer for Cats, the movie version of the musical that should have never go as popular every bit it is, dropped on the cyberspace, a short backside-the-scenes video hyped the "digital fur engineering" the studio used to turn the film's homo actors into cats… sort of. But we were unprepared. We were so unprepared. The cats in Cats are actually half-person-half-true cat, a cursed mid-Animorph that layers true cat fur and ears over lithe human bodies and had us staring deep, deep into the uncanny valley. People were terrified, people were upset. People tweeted through it, which meant nigh a week of crazed reactions to this year's most horrid movie trailer. And you thought Sonic the Hedgehog looked scary!!

37. Detective Pikachu dancing

Detective Pikachu charmed pretty much everyone when it was released in theaters before this spring, mostly due to how unbelievably beautiful the title grapheme is, despite the fact that he's voiced past a grown man. The animation section really outdid themselves with the move capture, layering Pikachu's wrinkly forehead and big cheeks onto Ryan Reynolds' face. And that's not the only meme that came out of this movie. A week before information technology hitting theaters, Warner Bros. released a fake "leaked" version, which concluded up being a ii-hour-long video of animated Pikachu dancing on a loop. It looks like information technology was taken from 1 of those '80s exercise videos, and the choreography is actually most identical to one of Key & Peele's funniest sketches, which itself is a parody of an infamous 1988 TV workout marathon. (Jordan Peele himself pretty much confirmed information technology.) Everyone wanted to make their own peppy Detective Pikachu dance videos, and set the footage to everything from Bonnie Tyler to Blackpink.

36. Tough guy entrance

Some people are lucky enough to get memed once in their lives. Very few of those people actually get memed Once again… unless they're Jawad Bendaoud, who was jailed in April for housing two of the terrorists who committed the 2015 Paris attacks. During his trial, he was recorded walking into the room in a sparkly jacket looking similar he was nigh to foursquare upward against every member of the jury at in one case, which, of grade, looks SO funny. The starting time time Bendaoud was memed was actually back in 2015, when he was questioned alive on photographic camera most his interest in the attacks and said he had no idea what the guys were planning. The French memers were merciless.

35. Nib Hader dancing

It'due south crazy how this unaired prune from SNL in 2015 of Beak Hader dancing syncs with literally every song to ever exist.

34. Succession theme edits

Really, information technology's all about Demi Adejuyigbe putting lyrics to the Succession theme song. Who will win a kiss from daddy?

33. "If I were…, I would just..."

If I were you I would simply share this mega list of memes from 2019.

32. Italian AOC

Thank you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for dramatically asking questions in Congressional caucuses for everyone else to capture the perfect moment.

31. im baby

There's nada to actually "go" about "I'm baby" other than "I'm baby." (Though information technology did come from somewhere.) Merely try maxim it! You're baby, they're baby, we're all infant. I'm baby!

xxx. Infant Yoda

A 2019 meme latecomer, Baby Yoda from Disney+'s The Mandalorian is very, very cute. That'south about all we know about him, simply only look at those ears!

29. Jonathan Frakes' questions

Being a television evidence host is kind of a thankless job, particularly when you know that children on the cyberspace will look back on your hard piece of work decades from now and make fun of how hokey it is. Back in 1998, Jonathan Frakes hosted the bear witness Beyond Conventionalities: Fact or Fiction, which presented the audience with wild and baroque stories, and at the end of each episode he revealed which ones were real and which ones were fabricated up. Each segment starts with him request baroque nonsequitur questions, and Twitter user Zane Golia took the trouble to edit a few of them into a very strange video. Many added their own spin to it, similar this loftier-concept addition from Twitter user leon, who fabricated the video into an entire experience.

28. Storming Expanse 51

There's a sure flavor of humor y'all can only observe in Facebook parody events -- stuff similar Drake actualization at a Hooters in an obscure location, or everyone running like Naruto at the same time. Most of these events never really happen, just "Storm Area 51, They Can't Terminate All of Us" got so popular the Net almost literally willed it into existence. The bad news is Area 51 is an airtight government facility in the middle of the desert, so naught actually got "stormed," just the expert news is that at that place was a music festival nearby anyway chosen Alienstock. The true secrets of Area 51, like every neat 10-Files episode tells us, are best left to the imagination and brief sightings of a unmarried male child Naruto-running behind a reporter during a live newscast.

27. "Rise and shine"

Kylie Jenner wrote the song of the decade for her daughter Stormi's wakeup call, which she quickly trademarked in one case everyone online became obsessed. Rise and shiii-heen.

26. Cats can have a little salami

1 of the best online not sequiturs this year came from a fixed typo in a google search from 2017 ("cats can have little a salami") that, out of nowhere, became a Thing. Cats CAN have a little salami.

25. Summoning circles

Our newfound obsession with all-things occult (see: tarot, star divination, crystals, "witch" blogs on Tumblr) and our demand for things to just appear in our hands (see: Grubhub, Seamless, ordering toilet paper in bulk from Amazon Prime) combined and birthed their cursed infant, the "summoning circles" meme, in which, just by placing a few candle emojis around a desired object or event, nosotros could influence the future. Powerful magic, if it was existent. Some folks took the original format and spiced it up a fleck, replacing the candles with things ane could summon -- like cats when they hear the sound of a can of nutrient beingness pried open.

24. Neon Genesis Evangelion

At present that the 1995 anime classic Neon Genesis Evangelion has hit Netflix, a whole new slew of people can now understand all the memes about Shinji getting in the robot or else Rei will take to practise it, among other things.

23. Kombucha reaction

Making decisions is tough. Sometimes your initial gut reaction is wrong, sometimes information technology'south correct, sometimes it'southward wrong, and sometimes it's right again. That'south the mini face journeying TikTok user @brittanyt445 took us all on when she videoed herself trying kombucha for the showtime time. First, she's disgusted, then maybe pleased, so disgusted again. "No, no," she says. So, "Well…." Role of what makes this so funny is her facial expressions alone, which are and so dynamic that yous tin can apply them to a whole host of situations: looking at yourself in the mirror, hanging out with sure astrological signs, going out with your friends or staying in for the night.

22. Stuffed Kirby

I of Kirby'due south greatest strengths is his ability to inhale lots of stuff and carry information technology around in his mouth. Information technology also looks very funny, which is why Twitter user Lucbomber edited together a video of him running effectually with his mouth full, fix to upbeat music. Other Twitter users added funny captions to the video, everything from running to your mom to carp her when you're bored to suspiciously request what forbidden item a dog has in its rima oris. It's a uncomplicated format with perfectly narrow application.

21. "Ah shit, hither we become again"

Video game cutscenes are the gifts that keep on giving, and 2004's Grand Theft Motorcar: San Andreas contains one that has endured for more than a decade. The prune of protagonist CJ stalking downwards an alleyway at the very beginning of the game, after a couple corrupt police officers harass him into a bad part of town, has such a relatable delivery of the now immortal line, "Ah shit, here we get again," that it couldn't not eventually become a meme for a certain resigned credence towards whatever kind of confrontation. It works every time.

xx. #POV

For some reason, people on the internet just love reliving the atrocious parts of their childhoods, perchance out of some demand for validation, to be told by all the other triggered people out there that they're non lone, that other people were unpopular in schoolhouse too. One piece of cake way to evoke this feeling is POV videos, popularized by Tiktok user Olivia Giordano, whose video in which she plays a popular cool daughter asking you if you're emo went viral a few months ago. She'southward and so practiced at them that people repeatedly enquire her if she really is that hateful in the comments, though she insists that she's not. She'due south just a great actress! A… suspiciously great actress.

xix. Fucking mint

If you thought this meme was nearly celebrating the nice, make-new things y'all accept, retrieve again. This TikTok meme is for suffering, like complaining virtually your auto in which practically nothing works, a home in which everything is broken, etc, etc, etc.

18. You hate to see information technology

"Y'all hate to run into it" is a pretty oldddd meme, in internet years, just for some reason, it'southward really permeated the culture recently, probably because there are a lot more than things out there that nosotros actually do detest to encounter. "You hate to see information technology" could be added to any image of something y'all but hate seeing, like embarrassing flirts or failed football plays. It's a similarly relatable offshoot of the globe-weary "It really do be like that sometimes," wrapping a big sigh and a bad situation up into a handy footling phrase. Yous hate to run into it! Alternatively, the variant course "you dearest to encounter information technology," for all the positive, good stuff out there we love to see, was born.

17. The fish tube

Expansion of infrastructure into environments that house crucial migratory routes for the planet's species forces scientists to come up with new ideas to lessen human impact on nature. Did you know, for example, that they built a little tunnel so that turtles could cross a highway unharmed?? How dainty! A fish tube, though: that's funny. When ecology scientists unveiled their "salmon cannon," a giant tube just big enough for a large fish to hurtle from ane body of h2o into another, everyone wanted in on the action. Some wondered if the fish liked the fish tube, others wanted to be put into the fish tube themselves. It'due south an inherently funny concept. Imagine if you lot were a fish and all of a sudden someone was hoisting you into a tube in which you flapped and flumped until yous were unceremoniously dumped back into newer, unlike water. Imagine if this was the hereafter of man transportation: instead of cars and subways, nosotros'll insert ourselves into people tubes at the finish of the workday to exist whooshed straight home.

16. "Allow me in!"

In 2016, comedian Eric Andre tried his hardest to go into the Democratic National Convention (ahh, simpler times) just, since his "press pass" had been "revoked," he had to settle for banging on the debate and crashing a protestation exterior the doors. About three years afterwards, a clip from this segment of The Eric Andre Show has become an especially deranged meme, involving a relatable situation -- such as the deep, cardinal urge to bang Count Dracula himself, or cats trying to claw into your room -- and Andre wetly screaming "LET ME IIIIIIN!!"

15. ok boomer

In that location wasn't much fourth dimension to actually bask "ok boomer" equally a perfect clapback once the New York Times wrote about it. Still, information technology was fun to own the boomers this way while it lasted, then effective at getting under their pare that there were calls for the phrase to be banned in workplaces and classified equally hate oral communication. LOL, ok boomer.

14. What if we kissed

Kissing is cool and fun, and then in 2016, some very earnest person online made a macro about "what would you practice if we accidentally kissed." Many years and irony poisonings later, Tumblr and Twitter got a hold of the format and turned it into a buss your crush fest anywhere: a super sales event, in the pear wriggler, on the Battle Bus (that's a Fortnite reference, folks). Name a place and you bet at that place'll exist some kissin'.

13.I Think You Should Exit

Everyone has their own favorite of Tim Robinson's deranged sketches from his Netflix prove I Think You Should Go out, just anybody who doesn't love "Automobile Focus Group" the most is wrong. It's insane. A focus grouping gathers to figure out what's all-time to put in a new machine, and one of the participants is this really weird old dude with an incommunicable-to-identify accent that keeps throwing out ideas like "no space for mother in law" and "a skillful steering wheel that doesn't whiff out of the window while you lot're driving." Everything he says is just so funny that information technology's incommunicable not to plough him into a multifaceted meme. The other sketches in the evidence are funny, just this one is on another level.

12. "Hit or Miss"

If you lot were to yell "Hit OR MISS" in an surface area where teenagers are known to congregate, there is a very, very, very skillful risk that you'll be answered with, "I BET Yous NEVER MISS, HUH?" (That call and response is known every bit the "Hitting or Miss" Challenge.) How and why this thirteen-second chunk of whiny rap blew upwards is several layers deep: The verse comes from the song "Mia Khalifa" by iLOVEFRiDAY, an Atlanta hip hop duo fabricated up of the couple Smoke Hijabi and Xeno Carr, who wrote it as a diss track nigh the porn star Mia Khalifa later on a fake tweet accused Smoke of existence a bad Muslim for smoking what looks like a edgeless while wearing a hijab in a video for the group's song "Hate Me." "Mia Khalifa" itself came out in early 2018, but information technology wasn't until Nov that it start became A Affair on TikTok afterward popular dubber Nyannyancosplay recorded a video of herself lip syncing to it in November 2018. Though it may have originated concluding yr, "Hit or Miss" is still very much a 2019 meme as it finds new means to evolve out of its initial context and into something that every young person knows. Besides, information technology's really funny.

eleven. Shen Yun

There are almost as many Shen Yun memes as at that place are ads for the actual show. Shen Yun describes itself as a music and trip the light fantastic performance that showcases millennia of Chinese culture, and its ads, usually featuring a lady mid-spring with a blissful smile, are everywhere. Everywhere. If you're a human living in America, it's more than likely that you have seen a Shen Yun advertising, which is why this extremely regional meme grew to such prominence online. Later all, who are we to underestimate 5,000 years of civilization reborn?

10. "Are you in the right headspace"

Another recent instance of an attempt at self-care gone very incorrect (the beginning existence at "emotional capacity"), this awkward question that absolutely no one asks before delivering "information that could maybe hurt you" took off every bit a meme nearly instantly after the original, very earnest tweet went viral. Delight, never exercise this to your friends, lest yous desire them to think yous're a robot.

9. Bigger than before

Much like concluding year's absurd viral video-turned-meme, courtesy of Cheddar dot Tv, 'they did surgery on a grape,' 'bigger than before' comes from the bizarre craft-making YouTube channel 5 Minute Crafts, which mostly peddles in DIY "tricks" that no 1 would ever consider helpful. Why does an egg demand to be bigger? What purpose does this serve? Of course, none of these questions matter. With a phrase like 'bigger than before' fastened to iii eggs, ane bigger than the next, this whole thing was bound to blow up into yet some other meme after Twitter user @chipspopandabar tweeted it out to the egg-thirsty masses. If y'all're struggling to "get" information technology, just go on watching -- each new viewing is funnier than the last. Information technology doesn't need to "brand sense" to be good.

8. Sorry to this man

Vanity Fair'due south series of lie detector interviews are always a joy, mostly because it'due south but fun to watch celebs become bundles of fretfulness when they realize their pulse rates are on display for all to see. Many of the questions are innocuous -- How much does Wiz Khalifa spend on the adept kush? -- but when the interviewer asked Hustlers star Keke Palmer if she recognized a photograph of John McCain, she had no thought. Her perplexed response became the perfect successor to Mariah Carey'due south "I don't know her": sometimes you just conveniently forget who somebody is, or miss them entirely. Sad to this human. (At present available on a t-shirt.)

7. 30-l feral hogs

Maybe you could credit the doubled shock of 2 mass shootings in one weekend, one in El Paso, Texas and the other in Dayton, Ohio, with the citizens of the Net immediately grasping at any we could to make ourselves feel a picayune flake normal over again -- and nil's more normal than gathering as one to completely and utterly roast some fool on Twitter. Later on the shootings, country artist Jason Isbell joined the chorus of celebs calling for gun command, tweeting that no i in today'due south earth "needs" set on weapons, just it was Twitter user William McNabb who got everyone going with his respond to Isbell, asking, "Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard inside 3-5 mins while my pocket-size kids play?" The tweet was so odd, the epitome of a swarm of swine descending on some Arkansas lawn so bizarre, the phrase "feral hogs" so flippin' funny, that the memes were almost immediate. What makes the whole situation even weirder is that, yep, the hogs, technically an invasive species, are considered an infestation in some parts of the land and they tin be downright nasty in a close meet -- merely, every bit other Web denizens were quick to indicate out, you don't need an assault weapon to deal with a pig.

6. Married woman guys

Here at Thrillist, similar everywhere else, nosotros love a wife guy. A wife guy is a dude who posts very dramatic and/or very extra things online about his wife, pretty much JUST to get some of that sugariness, sweet attending from millions of strangers. Patient zero, as we remember fondly, was Curvy Wife Guy, also known as Robbie Tripp, who hit send (and keeps hitting send to this day) on a number of photos with lengthy captions nearly how he'due south such a great guy for marrying a woman who's not skinny. More recently, the wife guy crown has gone to Cliff Married woman Guy, whose video of his wife falling into a ditch preceded by a prune of them both crying nearly how traumatic the experience was and how your life actually tin can alter in an instant warmed the hearts of all of united states who were merely glad he was there, non to catch his wife by the arm or interruption her autumn, but to film the whole thing and upload it to YouTube. There are so many wife guy out there; please, never stop posting well-nigh your wives.

5. Wholesome buff guys

An offshoot of a milky way brain nautical chart, the wholesome buff guys just want to lift upwards small kings everywhere however they tin.

four. "Payphone" exit

The merely way that this stupid remixed Maroon 5 vocal will ever go stuck in our heads is from watching these mid-activity walk-out challenges over and over and over.

3. Woman yelling at a true cat

On the left is Taylor Armstrong, a real housewife of Beverly Hills, and on your right is Smudge the cat. Only put side by side, equally Twitter user @missingegirl offhandedly did in May, the Taylor and Smudge screenshots form our new favorite representation of the troll's state of war.

2. Toad sings "Chandelier"

If y'all've ever wondered what Toad, the mushroom-headed character from the Super Mario games, would audio like beyond its little in-game shriek, may your curiosity exist forever sated with these covers of "Toad" "singing." Recorded by Atlanta-based musician Melancholiaah, each vocal is a principal class in giving even the most deranged performances your very all, instance in point: the "Chandelier" cover, originally past Sia. Information technology's good from the start, but the song turns bully when information technology hits the chorus, with Toad screaming "IIII'Yard GONNA SWIIIING FROM THE CHANDELIEHEEERRRR." A high indicate of this twelvemonth in popular culture, to exist sure.

i. "Someone Like Y'all" crowd singalong

It goes by many names -- the gummy comport challenge, Adele Challenge -- simply the meme that blew up among the TikTok set all has the aforementioned genius setup: Audio taken from a alive performance of "Someone Like Y'all," Adele starts the line of the chorus, "Nevermind, I'll observe--," and kicks it over to her legions of fans singing back at her, "--someone like youuu / I wish nothing but the best for youuuu toooo." Video-wise, the shot starts on "Adele," which in this meme, is one kind of thing (it started with Haribo viscid bears simply information technology can literally be anything), and pans over to "the crowd," a body of water of that same thing -- for example, 200 mucilaginous bears, iPhones, grass. Whatsoever you desire it to be! This tin can even exist in virtual worlds, ie. Fortnite or The Sims! For some reason, watching variations on this is never not funny and practiced, thus capturing our cold dead hearts and the number one spot for the meme of the year.
