So Anyway I Started Blasting

2013

"So Anyway, I Started Blasting" is a reaction image meme from the TV series *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*, based on a scene where Frank Reynolds pulls out two pistols on live television while recounting how he fought off robbers. The quote comes from a 2013 episode but didn't take off as a meme until late September 2019, when it spread rapidly across Reddit and Facebook as a reaction image for situations involving reckless or disproportionate responses.

Keyboard Cat

1984

Keyboard Cat is a viral video meme featuring an orange tabby cat named Fatso, filmed in 1984 by performance artist Charlie Schmidt, appearing to play an electronic keyboard while wearing a blue shirt. The clip sat dormant for over two decades before being uploaded to YouTube in 2007 and exploding into one of the internet's most recognizable memes in 2009, when Brad O'Farrell created the "Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat" mashup format that paired the footage with fail videos as a comedic send-off.

Bruh

2003

"Bruh" is a slang term derived from "brother" that became one of the internet's most versatile reaction expressions. Rooted in African American Vernacular English dating back to the 19th century, it exploded online in 2014 when a Vine video dubbed a deadpan "bruh" over footage of a basketball player collapsing in court. The word now functions as a one-syllable catch-all for disbelief, frustration, humor, and everything in between.

Big Chungus is a meme built around a screenshot of an overweight Bugs Bunny from the 1941 cartoon *Wabbit Twouble*, typically presented as a fake PlayStation 4 game cover. The meme went viral in December 2018 after a GameStop employee shared a story about a customer trying to buy the nonexistent game. It became one of the defining absurdist memes of late 2018 and eventually received official recognition from Warner Bros.

Doge

2005

Doge is an internet meme built around photos of a Shiba Inu named Kabosu, overlaid with colorful Comic Sans captions in deliberately broken English. The format took off in 2013 after years of quiet spread across Tumblr and Reddit, earning Know Your Meme's "top meme" of the year[3]. Kabosu's sideways glance launched a cryptocurrency worth billions, inspired an NFT sale of over $4 million, and gave its name to a U.S. government department, making it one of the most consequential memes in internet history.

It's a Trap

2009

"It's a Trap!" is a catchphrase and reaction image based on Admiral Ackbar's famous line from the 1983 Star Wars film *Return of the Jedi*. The image macro version first appeared on Something Awful in the early 2000s and quickly spread to FARK, YTMND, 4chan, and YouTube, making it one of the most recognizable and long-lived memes from the early internet era. The phrase is used as a humorous warning about anything deceptive, misleading, or suspicious.

Crying Jordan

2015

Crying Jordan is a photoshop meme built from a cutout image of Michael Jordan's tearful face during his 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame induction speech. Starting as a niche sports forum joke around 2012, it exploded into one of the internet's most recognizable memes by 2015-2016, used primarily to mock defeated athletes and teams. The meme became so widespread that Jordan himself acknowledged it, President Obama referenced it during a Medal of Freedom ceremony, and it spawned physical merchandise including custom sneakers.

Change My Mind

Change My Mind

2018

"Change My Mind" is an exploitable image macro meme featuring conservative commentator Steven Crowder sitting behind a folding table with a sign inviting passersby to debate him. The original photo was taken at Texas Christian University on February 16, 2018, with the sign reading "Male Privilege is a Myth / Change My Mind"[4]. Within days, internet users began replacing the sign text with humorous, absurd, or satirical statements, turning a political debate segment into one of the most versatile opinion-sharing templates online[1].
