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.

Skibidi Toilet is an animated YouTube series created in February 2023 by DaFuq!?Boom! featuring singing toilets with men's heads battling humanoid figures called CameraHeads.

Harambe was a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28, 2016, after a three-year-old boy fell into his enclosure. The incident spawned one of the defining memes of 2016, mixing ironic tributes, mock-serious mourning, and the viral rallying cry "Dicks Out for Harambe" into a sprawling internet event that outlasted every thinkpiece written about it.

"All Star" is a 1999 rock song by Smash Mouth that became one of the internet's most enduring memes after its prominent use in the 2001 animated film *Shrek*. The song's iconic opening line, "Somebody once told me," launched thousands of remixes, mashups, covers, and parodies across YouTube, Reddit, and beyond. Written as an anthem for outcasts by guitarist Greg Camp, the track found a second life online in the 2010s through creators like Neil Cicierega and Jon Sudano, and the band themselves leaned into the joke.

Loss is a four-panel webcomic strip from Tim Buckley's gaming series Ctrl+Alt+Del, published on June 2, 2008, depicting a miscarriage scene that was so tonally jarring it became one of the internet's most enduring and widely parodied memes. The strip's simple visual layout, a single figure, two figures, two figures, and one standing with one lying down, was distilled into the minimalist notation "| || || |_" and hidden in countless images, objects, and artworks across the web. Recognizing the pattern became a game unto itself, spawning the catchphrase "Is this Loss?"

Rickrolling is a bait-and-switch internet prank where someone tricks another person into clicking a disguised link that leads to Rick Astley's 1987 music video for "Never Gonna Give You Up." Born on 4chan's /v/ board in May 2007 as an evolution of an earlier prank called "duckrolling," the Rickroll became one of the longest-running jokes in internet history. The official YouTube video passed 1.5 billion views[2], driven by nearly two decades of people gleefully tricking each other.

Math Lady, also called Confused Math Lady, is a reaction image and GIF featuring Brazilian actress Renata Sorrah as the villain Nazaré Tedesco from the 2004 telenovela *Senhora do Destino*. The image shows Sorrah with an intensely confused expression, often overlaid with floating mathematical equations, and is used to express bewilderment or overthinking. First used as a reaction GIF in 2013, it exploded internationally in 2016 after someone added math formulas to the screenshot, turning it into one of the most recognizable confusion memes on the internet.

Pepe the Frog is a cartoon frog character created by artist Matt Furie for his 2005 comic *Boy's Club*, best known for his catchphrase "feels good man." After 4chan users turned Pepe into one of the internet's most versatile reaction images in 2008, the character exploded into mainstream culture before being co-opted by alt-right groups during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, leading the Anti-Defamation League to add him to its hate symbol database. Pepe's story is one of the most complex in meme history: an innocent stoner frog that became a political flashpoint, a legal battleground, and a global protest symbol.
