happy side, sad side bus meme
An inspirational illustration from 2013 turned into a hilarious meme later this year. The meme involves two people sitting inside a bus, with one person facing the mountain and the other facing the sun, rolling hills and other things. The idea is simple but hilarious when you see some memes.
Anakin and Padme
One of the popular internet memes this year was based on the Star Wars prequel movie. This made reference to Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) in Attack of the Clones, where they are discussing politics in the Star Wars universe. The popular scene revolves around Anakin arguing about dictatorship while Padme insists that democracy is better. The facial expressions of the two actors in the scene helped the scene become a classic meme in 2021.
Oprah interviews Harry and Meghan
Oprah has given us some memorable moments on TV. This year, however, it was her interviews with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry that garnered millions of viewers on TV and spawned a whole series of memes. Oprah’s reactions inspired some of the hilarious memes we’ll see in 2021.
March 2020 / March 2021
Everything really changed in March 2020, yet not much changed in March 2021. The comparison inspired a series of memes, which were liked and shared across the internet. The memes reflected how it felt like life had hit the pause button in March 2020, and we just couldn’t get over it. The memes included everything from burnt out work-from-home themes to lockdown rants.
it was always agatha
WandaVision inspired at least one big meme during 2021. Katherine Hahn’s stage-winks resulted in a series of hilarious memes this year. The meme was based on the intention-versus-truth theme throughout, with the caption setting the groundwork. If you haven’t seen the Marvel series yet, we won’t talk much about it, and will instead let you enjoy some popular versions of the meme.
When Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp are down
In October this year, some of the major apps and services on the Internet went down, Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were some of the biggest names on the list. Although it felt like the end of the world for a short time, it was also a very exciting time for meme makers. Twitter was full of memes, including Twitter itself and Reddit was lit up. Once everything was back on, it was miserable again as we went back to doomscrolling.
Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala
The Met Gala is probably the most memorable event of the year. This year, while everyone had their chance, it was Kim Kardashian who stole the show. Her outfit at the Met Gala triggered a series of hilarious unseen memes on the internet. Kim wore a completely black dress from head to toe, with a mask that completely covered her face. The dress literally hid her, yet it caught everyone’s attention.
ship stuck in the Suez Canal
When it felt like life was stuck in 2021, the real-life situation helped make the internet another classic meme. A giant ship called Ever Given (operated by Evergreen) managed to jam one of the world’s most popular shipping lanes, the Suez Canal. It was serious as well as funny, because it was going through all of us at the time.
squid game
Squid Game was undoubtedly one of the most popular shows in 2021. while it netflix broke records, it also helped inspire a large number of memes throughout 2021. Some of those memes might spoil the show for you, so we recommend that you don’t randomly Google for them. We’ve shared a general one below that should give you an idea without giving too much.
