meme /mēm/ (noun)

1. an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
   • a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

If you didn't know what a meme was, now you know. Since I'm a millennial, it's my job to be updated with the times. Memes are the new thing. I'm a big fan of silly things that can make me laugh and all of these have definitely made me lol (laugh out loud, clarifying this for the non-millennials). 2016 is coming to an end, which means these beloved memes are too. It's time to look back on this interesting, to say the least, part of our history books. Without further ado, here are 2016's best memes (in no particular order)

1) Ted Cruz

2) Harambe

3) Dat Boi

4) Spongegar

5) Mr. Krabs

6) Damn Daniel

7) Bernie v. Hillary
