Twitter
No Wandavision meme is authentic. You think DoD money doesn’t pay for twitter memes? Baby that’s all it pays for. I will not be reviewing them until I get my Marvel check. Just cause Kathryn Hahn got hers doesn’t mean I won’t hold out for mine.
Boo Driving meme
As of right now she’s only driving in hard situations. That’s good! Sometimes driving is hard! Sometimes you fuck up! You feel like you’re still 15 and you shouldn’t be allowed to be operating heavy machinery. It will be good as long as “doesn’t know how to parallel park” twitter doesn’t get ahold of it. The adults are talking right now about how crossing four lanes of traffic to get to your exit is stressful but you simply have to power through your tears
Anne Hathaway Meme
Listen I love Anne Hathaway but my love does not stop me from realizing that she looks like an HR manager that’s about to fire you. It’s mostly a meme for people who have email jobs who are frustrated by their Anne Hathaway coworkers, who like most white women, are annoying.
Juregen Teller
Originally I was like “I guess” when people were arguing about whether the photography was good because there were a lot of smart people on both sides and I don’t really have a take either way. But then the memes started and the memes are all very good. It’s an of the moment meme that gets all my favorite people involved. Stan twitter, self described “cultural” twitter, red scare adjacent twitter, fashion twitter but only when they’re being funny. (I like it when people are funny) also everyone gets to share they’re favorite silly paparazzi shots which, if the paparazzi has to exist, they should only be silly ones.
So Called Free Thinkers
I love calling people out who think they’re doing something quirky when they’re all the same quirky. It’s the same genre of “that fluoride stare” Its good to confront people about their so called weird behavior, especially when everyone is doing the same thing to be considered weird. Lot of fake freaks out there. Gotta keep an eye out.
You Had to Be There
I was there. We all were. Every version of this is subcultures you lived through if you were 24, lived in America, and had any idea what was going on in culture. I’ve yet to see one where I’m learning about a new subculture. I get that we’re sad about growing up and also the pandemic but there’s gotta be a better way.
No good Golden Globes memes.
Tiktok
Ive decided I’m not going to review astrology memes because they are often not funny, not entertaining, and too long. If you decide that you want to make content on tiktok that is purely astrology based, you’re probably a little boring and not funny. As I’ve said before, Google a third thing. Become Interesting.
No More Fortnite
Classic cause and effect meme. Good domino effect meme but very similar to another sound that is the same thing but more intense. This one is easier to listen to but not as interesting. Well-trodden territory.
Peep This One
This one is your classic mean spirited call out. Harder to listen to AND sometimes rougher subject matter. Some People are using this sound as an opportunity to be racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. Others are using it to make fun of people who still use a PS2. When your not being hateful, it’s fun way to make fun of multiple people at once.
These Hoes Don’t Know What Life About
Finally a meme for when these hoes don’t know what life about. It’s a simple statement that conveys so much. The anger and frustration and sadness you feel in that moment when you realize these hoes..... don’t know what life about.
Important to note that this the second time a portion of My Way by Queen Key has been part of a meme. The last time was last summer when the chorus was a meme. It happens a lot on tiktok but I think it’s important to note when one song produces two different memes, especially when the song is not by Megan thee Stallion, Cardi B, Doja Cat, or Nicki Minaj.
Two Girls Laughing at You
I like it when people have a good sense of humor about the things that make them nerdy, or uncool, or that they deserve to be made fun of about. This trend highlights that. All in good fun. Proof that two girls laughing can be one of the scariest sounds in the world.
In looking for examples I discovered there’s a sub genre of this meme where people pretend their FaceTiming the girls and then show their mom and it seems like the girls are laughing at the mom. Always funny. Love a good mom prank.
You Will Not Eat My Girlfriend
We all want to join a cult to see if we could have the mental strength to survive and leave whenever we want. This falls under the “I’m a little weird” category of person. We all think bad things, it’s not that weird.
I Understand Spanish to a Certain Level
I like it when people can admit they don’t know something because it gives us all a chance to learn. I’ve learned so much from this trend including what the pose in that video means.
It Started With The Hay, Cold Blooded Pose
I thought the pose was about shooting heroine. It in fact means you are cold blooded. I don’t have much to say about this one. I hate Mother Mother. I don’t understand why everyone on tiktok likes them or at least tolerates them to the degree that they are allowed to be everywhere. At least 21 pilots fans have a healthy sense of shame.
These Happy Little Crackers
I love it. I love when people find a weird sound from somewhere crazy and make it fit on tiktok. Absolutely no reason for a clip from Unwrapped to be used as a meme by teenagers in 2021, Absolutely no reason it shouldn’t be a meme. I think it has a lot of potential and I want to see what people do with it. I’m probably going to learn a lot more about the Midwest because this if it gets really popular.
Of Course I’ve Had Sex Before
Every single variation on the face people make at the end is so funny. Every single one makes me laugh, no matter what the text of the video is. Great meme.
I’ve Read the Classics
Fucking book people. Once a month there’s a meme about children’s fantasy literature and how that defines you as a person today. It doesn’t have too. It only defines you if you let it.
New theory alert!!
I doubted myself so I did not want to call what Nicki verse would be popular next even though I knew. I turned out to be right and from this point forward I will never be doubting myself again. The verse of course is from Beez in the Trap.
Of course I love a vicious takedown, but I also love when the author just gets to enjoy herself! This seems like it was a good meme week. Am already looking forward to the year-end retrospective analyzing the most successful months/weeks for memes and how that intersected with the culture at large.
I love the Two Girls Laughing at You mom prank but I also always need a follow up where they explain the prank to their mom and hug her
