We can pretty much all universally agree, 2016 was a pretty rough year. Whether it was personal struggles, or issues that affected the world over, everyone felt the pain this year. Thankfully, though we were all put through the ringer, not everyone lost their humor. The Internet has truly outdone itself this year. With that being said, here are some of the most memorable memes of 2016.
1. The Kermit Darkside Meme
This meme was everywhere in 2016 and there was a version of it to fit almost any situation. This particular version of the meme pretty much sums up everyone’s reactions to everything this year, though.

2. Confused Math Lady Meme
Like the Kermit meme, there were several versions of this meme to fit multiple situations, and each version was equally as funny as the last
3. Damn Daniel
Of the many bizarre reasons people on the Internet become famous, this was definitely one of the weirdest, especially since this kid in white Vans and his friend rose to the level of fame to be able to appear on Ellen. Damn.
4. The Why You Always Lying Meme
Not only was the song hilarious, but the dance moves in the video and the memes that were produced out of it were funny as well.
5. The Papaw Meme
This one was heartbreaking. However, the response from the Internet, in which tons of people showed up for dinner with Papaw, proved that there is faith in humanity.
6. The Justin Beiber as a Waiter Meme
There has been no shortage of roasting Justin Beiber over the last few years, and 2016 was not an exception, although this year was tamer than years past.
7. The Obama and Biden Memes
While the presidential election was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone, and many of us are sad to see these two leave the White House, at least we have these memes, and hilarious (and let's be honest, fabricated) memories to remember them by.
8. The Troy Bolton Meme
Yes, High School Musical came out 10 years ago, but Troy Bolton is still as relevant as ever, and his awkward posing made for some funny memes for 2016.
9. The Leo Winning an Oscar Meme
We’ve all been waiting for this moment for over 20 years. And when it finally happened this year, the Internet absolutely lost it. I guess 2016 wasn’t all bad.
10. The Arthur Hand in a Fist Meme
I don’t know about you, but this one made me laugh out loud every time I saw it.
The year 2016 definitely had many ups and downs, but luckily, the people of the Internet were there for us to inject humor into any and every situation when life got us down. I can’t wait to see what the year 2017 will bring, and all of the Internet’s responses to it all.
