Memes are what make the internet great. Things are pretty terrible right now, and that often spills over into what we see on the internet, but there are still great memes to remind us of the simpler times, when Twitter was more for stupid jokes than nonstop warning sirens. Even this year, we’ve had quite a few big memes take over the internet—some from years past and some new.
So, we’re taking a look at some of the best we’ve seen thus far! They’re funny, wonderful, and evergreen moods.

Spongebob Squarepants has given us many of the greatest memes, but being involved in the creation of an entirely new way to express a mocking tone is on another level.

Political pundit Chris Hayes surprisingly gave us the meme that started off 2018 and, unfortunately, it was about the president’s inability to stop lying about even the most inane things.

Black Mirror is a bit on the nose for our current society, but a good joke is a good joke.
