Year after year Beyoncé slays the Met Gala, and 2018 was no different — well, maybe a tiny bit different.

The goddess of entertainment didn’t physically attend this year’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” themed event, but fans knew she was there in spirit. That’s how “The Holy Ghost” meme was born.

Desperate to celebrate Bey, people began sharing photos of empty spaces on the Met Gala carpet, where they claimed the “Holy Ghost of Beyoncé” was standing. As you will see, she looked absolutely stunning as always.

Warning! Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War below. Do not read unless you’ve seen the movie, or if you’re like me and enjoy spoilers without abandon. 

Avengers: Infinity War, the most ambitious crossover in cinematic history, left a lot of people in tears due to its catastrophic ending. Ya know, where Thanos decides to wipe out half the world’s population — including some of our superhero friends. They start disintegrating into dust and then, most notably and most tragically, young Spiderman, lying in Tony Stark’s arms, looks up at Iron Man and says, “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good…” 

Cue the tears. Cue the sobs. Cue the memes. Read more…

Cartoon from the 1920’s is an incredibly old-school meme

Gatsby wasn’t staring at the green light, he was just thinking about a great meme Daisy posted earlier that day.

An image has gone viral on Twitter, that appears to show a comic from the 1920s with a recognisably meme-ish construction.

this comic strip from 1921 is really relatable to this day pic.twitter.com/DXCpl923Iy

Some were understandably sceptical of the image, given the difference in darkness of the black ink. However a reputable source was produced, and it turns out the comic originates from the 1921 July edition of Judge magazine. Read more…

Culture Disney Meme Twitter Web Culture

The official Disney twitter posted a weirdly dark tweet and people are confused

TwitterFacebook

Disney is known for its family-friendly messages and wholesome content — or at least they used to be.

Even when trying to be relatable across social media, they usually keep their messages light and funny. If their posts get moodier, they’re still not at the level of internet nihilism that Twitter is known for. 

On Sunday, however, the official Disney account posted a very, uh, un-Disney-like tweet (which has since been, unfortunately, removed) with the text “when someone compliments you, but you’re dead inside” over a gif of Pinocchio’s lifeless puppet body. Read more…

Twitter is usually a flaming heap of garbage, but sometimes it can also do fun things like use a hilarious video to propel one of rock’s most popular albums back up the charts 40 years after it was released. 

It all started on March 22 with the following tweet, which defended the danceability of Fleetwood Mac’s hit “Dreams.” 

“Fleetwood Mac’s music is so boring, you can’t even dance to it”

‘If you can’t handle me at my worst’ has evolved into a bigger, better meme

A quote often misattributed to Marilyn Monroe has reached its next step to Memehood.

You may have seen a variation on the phrase “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” memed in one way or another. Well now the phrase has surpassed itself, no longer requiring mere words.

The new meme format seems to have started in the realm of K-POP.

USA oil memes are the new interventionist commentary we need

sudshr47 March 23, 2018

TwitterFacebook

Sure, memes are used for easy laughs. But they’re also a platform for some lighthearted diplomatic criticism. 

The younger generation of Americans may have made headlines for eating Tide Pods, but it’s also been the generation to use social media to advocate for stricter gun control laws. It’s not surprising that they have something to say about U.S. foreign policy, even if they share it through memes. 

American oil memes have become increasingly popular on social media this month — whether it’s the mere mention of oil in cooking or a reconstructed spelling of the word oil, Photoshopped U.S. troops, drones, and flags are guaranteed to be there. The trend started on Reddit earlier in March, and quickly spread to Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Read more…

The internet has a new meme, and it will make your head turn.

Using a styrofoam face wearing clothes, Twitter had a ball coming up with situations that make your head whip to the other side. 

The results are very amusing. Like this:

McDonald’s attempts to pander to youth with very confusing meme

sudshr47 February 22, 2018

TwitterFacebook

Ah, McDonald’s. You give us so much: cheap, quick fast food, all-day breakfast, and disastrously failed attempts at memes.

In what has to be the most pandering attempt to cater to the youth we’ve seen in a while, McDonald’s UK tweeted this, uh, “meme.”

Him: Meet me at McDonald’s?
Barber: Say no more, fampic.twitter.com/Up7lkDqwPq

— McDonald’s UK (@McDonaldsUK) February 22, 2018

The limited context (the use of the word “barber”) makes it seem likely that this is supposed to be a play on the Barber meme, also known as the “say no more fam” meme, which pokes fun at ridiculous haircuts. Read more…
