The 10 Best Memes of 2016

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
