Memes

Until now, we had been assuming that the so-called "Perverted Stingray," who "photo bombed" some nice young women on vacation and created an internet sensation, was just happening by when the photo was snapped. Sarah Bourland, the lady on the left in the photo, let us in on how this meme was really brought into fruition.

Mitt Romney can't just say he's going to put Big Bird out of a job and get away with it. Here are the best memes so far from the Great 2012 Big Bird Backlash that don't have curse words. Because in the mind of the internet, when Big Bird gets angry he grabs a rifle and starts spewing obscenities.

As soon as we heard that Tumblr was going to be providing coverage of the debate via impromptu GIFs, we knew this election would at least be entertaining. Thanks should go especially to Mitt Romney's comment about Big Bird, which prompted tens of thousands of tweets. Here are the best of the internet reactions to last night's debate.

Mitt Romney was on the campaign trail at a Chipotle in Denver, Colorado when this photo was taken. The man in the picture swears this is just his excited face. Unfortunately, his expression, coupled with his striking similarity to a young Will Smith, made this photo a guaranteed internet sensation. It made it's way into Reddit's Photoshop Battles, and these are just a few of the hilarious results.

The funniest 'Memes of the Week' is back for our last meme roundup of September. We have memes covering the most important current events of  this month -- the release of the iPhone 5, the NFL replacement refs fail, and oh why not, let's throw the presidential race in there too.

Although we respect it as one of the most enduring memes ever, we never understood the allure of Nyan Cat. But what about 'Robot Pizza Song,' which is essentially the same thing? Now this is something we can really get behind. Let us explain.

Google is known to be a pretty great place to work -- the search engine giant offers free gourmet meals, on-site massages and even skeeball. But it's still work, and to further help employees blow off steam Google's internal itranet has a feature called Memegen which allows users to make fun of their bosses and/or the whole internet game.

Rebel Wilson first made us belly laugh, get super grossed out, then laugh even harder when she played Kristen Wiig's "TMI" roommate in ‘Bridesmaids.' You know, the one who got a street-side tattoo of a Mexican drinking worm across her back? That was nasty. And hilarious. Luckily for us, Wilson's hysterical antics are back in the upcoming musical comedy, ‘Pitch Perfect.'

You guys, Grumpy Cat is definitely real. And she plays. Sort of. When Grumpy Cat "plays" she mostly just scowls at the camera and then hides under things, but still. Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation pretty much as soon as people saw her grumpy face on Reddit. Here's some video and some excellent memes 'Tard' (short for Tartar Sauce) the cat has inspired.

We thought maybe she was just misunderstood, but it turns out the Overly Attached Girlfriend is just as crazy as we initially thought she was, as this video, in which a guy tries every means reasonably possible to cut things off, proves. Or anyway, as dumped as somebody who refuses to accept they were dumped can get...

Woah boy. Even if you could not give one fraction of an iota of a care about football, you probably still heard about the game last night (thanks, Facebook!). To deal, we just imagined old-timey Keystone Kops music playing underneath the whole thing. Thankfully other people dealt with the insanity by making funny memes. Here are some of the best.

We have some pretty funny memes for you this week. We have a cute baking dog meme in response to a stupid typo on Facebook. And we love the picture of a redditor's mom hanging out with Bill Nye in the '80s and the subsequent meme. And if you thought first world problems was funny, you have to see the second world problem we found...

Well she's got big brass ones, that's for sure. First Cecilia Gimenez basically ruined Elias Garcia Martinez's painting 'Ecce Homo,' aka 'Potato Jesus,' and now she wants to get paid for it. Brass ones.

We're sad to say that Amanda Bynes' cray-cray Twitter is no more. Let us commemorate this loss by looking at pictures of baby animals mashed-up with her tweets. It's the only thing that can make us feel better.

We're excited to round up these awesome memes from this week. In particular, there were two really great new memes that gained just popularity on Reddit -- 'Priority Peter' and 'Misunderstood Girlfriend.'
