No Yes
The "Drake Hotline Bling" meme, often called "No Yes" or "Drake Disgusted/Approving," originated from the music video for Drake's 2015 hit song "Hotline Bling." The meme features two distinct panels: the top one shows Drake looking away with a disapproving expression, signifying rejection or dislike ("No"). The bottom panel shows him smiling and gesturing with approval, indicating acceptance or preference ("Yes"). This versatile meme is widely used across social media to express a clear choice, comparison, or to convey approval and disapproval for various situations, ideas, or objects. Its simplicity and clear visual communication have made it one of the most enduring and popular meme formats.
C'mon Do Something
The "C'mon Do Something" meme features a minimalist, stick-figure-like character, often referred to as a "sock puppet," from the webcomic series by florkofcows. The character is typically depicted with a small stick, gently poking an unseen object or area. This meme is used to express impatience, frustration, or exasperation when something, whether it's a person, a system, or a situation, is unresponsive or stagnant. It conveys the feeling of waiting for an action, reaction, or progress to occur when nothing seems to be happening. Popularly used in various contexts, from personal interactions to technical issues, it highlights the desire for activity or a breakthrough.
Is This Butterfly
The "Is This a Butterfly?" meme originates from a 1991 scene in the Japanese anime "The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird" (Taiyou no Yuusha Fighbird). In episode 17, the android Yuta mistakes a butterfly for a pigeon, asking the iconic line. The meme features a character, often depicted as a person with glasses and an outstretched hand, looking perplexed at an object. Its meaning revolves around misidentification, flawed logic, or a disconnect from reality. Users typically label the character as an individual or group making a questionable statement, the hand as the statement itself, and the "butterfly" as the undeniable truth being overlooked. It's widely used to express sarcasm, highlight ignorance, or humorously point out absurd or illogical conclusions in various contexts.
The Scroll Of Truth
The Scroll of Truth meme originates from a 2017 four-panel comic by artist Robotatertot. It depicts a green, hat-wearing character, who after a long search, finds 'The Scroll of Truth.' Upon unrolling it, the character is shown an uncomfortable or widely accepted but often denied truth, reacting with an indignant 'NYEHHH' and pushing the scroll away. The meme is used to humorously illustrate situations where someone discovers or is presented with an undeniable, yet unpleasant or inconvenient, reality, often something they would prefer not to acknowledge. Users typically fill the blank scroll with a statement representing this uncomfortable truth, and the character's rejection signifies a relatable human tendency to deny facts that challenge their beliefs or comfort zone.
Look At Me
The "Look At Me" meme originates from a pivotal scene in the 2013 film *Captain Phillips*, where Somali pirate leader Muse (portrayed by Barkhad Abdi) declares, "Look at me. I am the captain now." after taking over the cargo ship. This iconic line, delivered with intense conviction, quickly permeated internet culture. The meme is widely used to humorously convey a sudden shift in authority, a declaration of control, or when someone, often unexpectedly, takes charge of a situation. It's frequently employed in contexts where an individual asserts dominance, whether genuinely or sarcastically, over a task, a group, or even a small object, capitalizing on the dramatic and direct nature of its cinematic origin.
Third World Skeptical Kid
The "Third World Skeptical Kid" meme features a young Ugandan boy, Mateo, with a highly expressive look of skepticism or disbelief. The original photo was taken in 2012 by an aid worker and gained significant popularity around 2014 as a reaction image. The meme's meaning revolves around a humorous questioning of unbelievable or absurd statements, often implying "Are you serious?" or "You can't be serious." It is widely used online in various contexts, from social media discussions to message boards, to express doubt, confusion, or a deadpan reaction to something ridiculous. Its classic status makes it instantly recognizable for conveying a sense of "I'm not buying it."
Megamind No Bitches
The "Megamind No Bitches" meme features a distraught-looking Megamind from the 2010 animated film "Megamind." The image, often captioned "No Bitches?", expresses profound loneliness, rejection, or a general lack of success, particularly in romantic or social situations. It's widely used as a reaction image to convey a humorous sense of despair, self-pity, or to mock someone's misfortune or perceived lack of accomplishment. The character's exaggerated sad expression makes it relatable for moments of feeling utterly deprived or left out.
Star Wars Yoda
This meme features Yoda, the iconic wise Jedi Master from the Star Wars saga. Originating from the beloved film series, the image captures Yoda with a subtly knowing or content expression. The meme is typically used to convey sagely advice, a profound observation, or a quiet, often amused, understanding of a situation. It frequently incorporates text written in Yoda's distinctive inverted sentence structure ("Patience, you must have," or "Done, it is"). Its usage spans moments requiring a touch of wisdom, an "I told you so" sentiment delivered gently, or simply a lighthearted comment on life's ironies, leveraging the character's universally recognized wisdom and calming presence.
The Rock Driving
The "The Rock Driving" meme originates from the 2007 family comedy film "The Game Plan," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The meme features three panels: the first shows The Rock driving and speaking, the second shows his on-screen daughter in the backseat responding, and the third captures The Rock looking back with a wide-eyed, surprised, or bewildered expression. This meme format is used to depict a conversation where a seemingly innocuous or casual statement (from the second panel character) leads to a sudden, often shocking, or humorous realization for the listener (The Rock). It perfectly conveys moments of unexpected clarity, confusion, or the comedic punchline to a setup, highlighting a character's internal reaction to new, often surprising, information.
American Chopper Argument
The "American Chopper Argument" meme originates from a heated dispute between Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr. on the reality TV show "American Chopper." The multi-panel meme depicts their intense argument, with each panel showing one of them making a point or reacting strongly. It's widely used to illustrate a back-and-forth debate or disagreement where two parties are passionately presenting their (often contradictory) viewpoints, often without truly listening to the other. It perfectly encapsulates situations of stubborn, cyclical arguments or when highlighting absurd points in a debate. The meme's humor comes from the exaggerated facial expressions and the relatable nature of disagreements.
