2016: the Good, the Bad, and the Funny

Looking back at the past 365 days there have been a lot of ups and downs. Things have come and gone going viral through the Internet, emotions have been shared through out the world, and Pokémon catching has become more of a reality than a dream. So here a glance back at the past before we leave it behind for the New Year.

Animals are being helped like the pandas, elephants, tigers, and whales.

Child mortality has gone down.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jackie Chan finally got his Oscar.

The earth was helped by planting trees, fixing the ozone layer, and solar panels.

We found out the “Harry Potter” world is still growing with books and movies.

Ellen was awarded the Medal of Freedom, which she deserved.

New amazing technology has come put like glasses that allow the color blind to see

The Bad:

The many devastating attacks around the world.

We lost many loved idols.

Wildfires, hurricanes, and earthquakes killed many.

Pokémon Go helped us look more like zombies.

Creepy clowns overtook the United states first but spread around the world for no reason.

The “Powerpuff Girls” reboot sucked.

The Funny:

The woman with the Chewbacca mask with the contagious laugh.

Biden and Obama memes as their presidential term comes to an end.

Evil Kermit memes that we all could relate too.


Carpool Karaoke with James Corden made us all laugh.

Ryan Reynolds made us laugh with his tweets and hilarious movie “Deadpool”.

Bone Apple Tea, and other ways we made fun of this line.

Challenges like the running man, the mannequin, and the bottle flipping.

Michael Phelp’s face at the Olympics as he looked at his opponent and the memes that followed.
