Ed Ranks Memes (Part II)

Hi. I'm still ranking memes. These are the best. #25 through #1!

25. Arthur Fist - Ah yes, Arthur the aardvark. He sees something he doesn't like and his fist balls up in rage. This is good times.

24. Leeroy Jenkins! - I have never played World of Warcraft, and the famous video is apparently fake anyway. Whatever. It's still sort of funny.

23. Sad Keanu - Poor Keanu Reeves. Sitting on the bench. Eating his sandwich. Someone should just tell him he's breathtaking to cheer him up. Whoa.

22. Hitler Downfall Subtitles - Oh yeah, this had it's run a while back. Clips from the film Downfall, but with Hitler losing his shit about different, mundane internet/pop culture things. Is it still funny a decade later? The answer is yes... yes it is.



21. I Have No Idea What I'm Doing - This is just a dog scientist who has no idea what he is doing. It's not the most popular or famous meme in the world, but as I said these rankings are going to be overly-hyped up with animal-based memes. So you're welcome.

20. Yes, This is Dog - Hahaha, the dog is on a phone. What is the dog doing? I don't even know! It's crazy! Dogs can't talk on phones!


19. Keyboard Cat - Is this the oldest meme on the entire list? It could be, but I'd have to do some research to figure that out. Which seems like a lot of work.

18. Ceiling Cat - A cat in a ceiling. What is it doing? Probably watching you masturbate. You are on the internet, after all.

17. Mocking SpongeBob - tHiS iS a GrEaT mEmE.

16. Rule 34 - If you need this one explained to you... uh... once again, google image search is your friend. Or perhaps your enemy. Prepare to have your childhood ruined though.

15. He Protec but He Also Attac - There are a lot of good ones of these, although they do tend to drift into modified LOLCat Territory. Oh and hey, speaking of that...

14. LOLcats / I Can Has Cheezeburger - I'm using this as a generic default for a ton of different cat-based memes, just featuring cats being stupid with captions which prove that cats are poor spellers. Good shit.

13. I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch - This was a great video redub, in the spirit of the earlier GI Joe PSA redubs. But it got big enough to even be included in X-Men: The Last Stand, which officially made it not funny anymore. But time has passed and we've all healed from that terrible movie. So as long as we remember the original context of the dubbed animation and forget about Vinnie Jones, all is well. Oh. This reminds me that I forgot to actually include the GI Joe PSI redubs on this ranking. Let's just say that they also are here, tied at #13. It would be too much work to renumber this whole thing.

12. Mr. T Ate My Balls - As with "Bert is Evil," you really got to dig bag to the beginning of the Internet when you were dialing in and hearing those terrible screeching sounds (and losing your ability to use the phone) when you were looking at Mr. T Ate My Balls memes, and other inspired "Ate My Balls" pages. I think I might have even made an "Ate My Balls" page on Geocities myself. Yeah, that's right. Geocities. MmmMmmm! Them some good balls!

11. One Does Not Simply - This one is simple and stupid enough. Everyone saw Lord of the Rings, and so everyone knows what this references. So you simply remix it up with other things that Boromir things one should not simply do, and you have Internet Gold!

10. McKayla is Not Impressed - Some of you think #10 might be pretty high for a fleeting picture of Olympic Gymnast McKayla Maroney looking unimpressed at the 2012 Olympics after winning Silver in vault when she thought she deserved Gold. You are wrong. This is great and deserves to be here. I mean look. She got the freaking President to do it. And I mean the good president, not the one which always makes me think of #8 below.

9. Honey Badger Don't Give a Fuck - I don't need to explain this any further. You either know what it is or you don't. If you don't, why are you even reading this?

8. This is Fine Dog - This was moderately funny the first time I saw this, but as life and the world in general continues to spiral into the fucking dumpster fire it is today, I appreciate this meme more and more all the time.

7. Joseph Ducreux - Take a modern phrase or rap lyric. Reverse translate it into a fictional 18th-Century style language. Example: "Fuck Bitches, Get Money" turns into "Disregard Females, Acquire Currency." This is exactly why liberal arts majors exist.

6. It's Over 9000! - Yes Vegita, that does seem pretty high. Nothing worth breaking your scouter over. That thing probably costs some money.

5. All Your Base Are Belong to Us - This is the meme to start all memes. I can't say anything is outright hilarious in this video, but I also can't lie and say I didn't watch it 6000 damn times back in college. Ah, Macromedia Flash Videos. What ever happened to you?

4. Deal With It - Once these magical shades fall down from the sky and land effortlessly on your face, you know that you've won.

3. Doge - Wow. Very fascinate. Such meme. How pronounce? I say it's prounounced like "dohj" (or I could alternatively spell that out as "dough-juh" but with one syllable, not two). If you think it's pronounced "doggie" of "dog-eh" or anything else then you're wrong.

2. Advice Animals - This is a big one, and included probably 100 different sub-memes. Advice Animals are those animals (almost always in front of a color wheel with various hues) providing you with life advice via contrasting top and bottom text in white IMPACT font. The Advice Dog might be the original, but it also includes Business Cat, Socially Awkward Penguin, Philosoraptor, Courage Wolf, Anti-Joke Chicken, and so on. Confusingly, advice animals aren't only animals. Advice Animals also include advice humans. I guess humans are a type of animal though, right? Once you add in the Advice Humans to the Advice Animals, you also add in classics like Hipster Ariel, Ermahgerd, Scumbag Steve, Success Kid, Bad Luck Brian, Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, and Unhelpful Teacher).  They're like Rage Comics, except actually funny. Technically the Pun Dog isn't an Advice Animal (because rather than being a single image, it's a three panel quasi-comic strip), but he's close enough and I'll just say Pun Dog is included as part of this, because Pun Dog is great. PUN DOG! 

1 Distracted Boyfriend - This will never stop being funny.
