10 Go-to Memes for a Good Laugh
1. Distracted Boyfriend
This classic meme featuring an unfaithful boyfriend who can’t keep his eyes off a passing woman has been adapted into countless humorous variations. Whether it’s a twist on the original theme, like a woman turning away from a boring guy towards pizza, or a creative mashup with another meme, the possibilities are endless.
2. “But That’s None of My Business”
This meme of Kermit the Frog sipping tea and commenting on other people’s drama has become a go-to for anyone looking to throw some shade without getting directly involved. From politics to celebrity gossip, the kermit tea meme can suit any situation.
3. “Ight, Imma Head Out”
Originating from an episode of Spongebob Squarepants where the character Squidward announces he’s leaving, this meme has grown into a popular way of communicating that it’s time to exit a situation. It’s particularly useful in situations where you don’t want to be impolite, but also want to make a swift departure.
4. “Is This a Pigeon?”
This meme is taken from an old anime scene, where a character mistakes a butterfly for a pigeon. It’s now used to represent misunderstandings and moments of confusion. The clip is frequently used in countries as far flung as Philippines, Brazil, and beyond.
5. Spider-Man Pointing at Spider-Man
An image of two versions of Spider-Man pointing at each other has become a go-to meme for taunting somebody online. It can signify “you’re just like me”, or “what you’re saying is hypocritical”, depending on the context.
6. Drake Hotline Bling Dance
Whether used to express a moment of triumph, or when acknowledging that you’ve made a small mistake, the Drake Hotline Bling Dance is an old favourite. Drake’s fluid and sometimes offbeat dance moves have been inserted into countless memes, often with hilarious juxtaposition.
7. Grumpy Cat
The late Grumpy Cat may no longer be with us, but her disgruntled expression has cemented her place in internet history. The little feline’s furrowed brow has been used to portray cynicism, dissatisfaction and skepticism in many a meme.
8. Arthur Fist
This clenched fist first appeared on the cartoon “Arthur”, but nowadays it symbolizes as much anger as it does a sense of determination. The meme can be versatile: express frustration at something or someone, or signal your unwavering commitment to a cause.
9. “That’s What She Said”
This classic joke template is used when someone is saying something that could be taken as sexual in nature. The phrase is made all the more hilarious when repeated at inappropriate times in the season finale of “The Office”, as performed by Steve Carell.
10. Y U NO Guy
This simple cartoon of a guy with frustrated right is often used in text message conversations when a friend repeatedly fails to follow through on something. It’s come to symbolize everything from rage to bafflement since it was first improvised by artist Leila del Duca in 2008.
