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.
