Back at it again with the funny memes.

The One with Memes from 2016

If you didn’t know already, a meme is a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is spread rapidly by Internet users. There were a lot of great memes from this year that seemed to take over everyone’s twitter feeds. Here are a few that hopefully make you laugh!

1.) Damn Daniel!

This meme got really old, really quick, but it was funny while it lasted. This viral video featured and kid name Daniel and his white Vans, and that is basically it. The video got so big he was on an episode of Ellen and got a lifetime supply of vans.

2.) Ken Bone

Ken Bone became an instant meme after one of the political debates this year. I am not sure if it was his sweater, his mustache, or just the fact that it was a humorous break from a very controversial election, but Ken Bone seemed to put a smile on everyone’s face during a stressful time.

3.) Blurry Mr. Krabs

This blurry picture of Mr. Krabs from an episode of Spongebob was huge hit this year. It seemed like you could caption this picture anything and it can perfectly describe your mood.

4.) Spongegar

This meme doesn’t even really need an explanation, mostly because it doesn’t really make sense. But Spongegar, aka Caveman Spongebob, seems to be able to describe you when something unexpected and confusing happens.

5.) Arthur's Fist

Who knew that a picture of an aardvark’s fist could have so many emotions. That’s right, this is Arthur’s fist. The cartoon show that a lot of us watched as kid. This meme seems to be very relatable for angry people who don’t want to express their anger so they clench their fist instead.

6.) Joe Biden

BROMANCE alert! There are so many great pictures of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden that really show their brotherly relationship. I don’t think we will ever see another iconic duo like Obama and Biden in office.

7.) Harambe

If for some reason you didn’t know, Harmabe was a gorilla from the Cincinnati Zoo who was killed after a young boy fell into his cage. Harambe may not have been intentially harming him, but because he was dragging the child he was. The killing became very controversial, many thought that the gorilla had no right to be killed, while some believed if they tranquallized Harambe it would have made him angry. The internet seems to care a lot about Harambe though considering he became into a meme and internet users mocked his death.

8.)You vs. The Guy She Tells You Not to Worry About

In this meme there are usually two people, often celebrities or television show characters. The person on the left is “you,” and the person on the right is usually a very attractive person that you SHOULD be worried about, but she tells you not to worry.

9.) Little Drake

This year Drake revealed the cover art for his forthcoming Views From the Six, which has a little version of Drake on it. The album got a lot of attention and of course became a meme. This made it way too easy to photoshop Drake in, well just about anything.

10.) Evil Kermit

Last year everyone was using the meme of Kermit drinking tea, but this is the latest meme that seems to be well deserving of a “MEEEEEEEE.” This hysterical picture of Kermit and “Evil Kermit” is good for describing battles with your inner-self.

New memes were introduced every month in 2016. People were flipping their water bottles, clenching their fists, and naming iconic duos. Hopefully 2017 can deliver even more great memes.

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.
