#001classic

Cat on Roomba

2008

Cat on Roomba is a viral video meme featuring cats sitting or riding on Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners as they move around a room. The format took off in late 2008 when a YouTube video titled "Roomba Driver" showed a cat perched on a moving Roomba, and it became one of the defining cute animal video trends of the late 2000s internet[1]. The meme belongs to the broader "Cats Riding on X" genre, which expanded to include cats riding tortoises, dogs, and other unlikely vehicles.

Pepe the Frog

2005

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.

Yeet

2014

Yeet is an exclamation and slang verb that exploded out of black social media culture in early 2014, first as a choreographed dance on Vine and YouTube before evolving into the internet's favorite word for throwing something with maximum force and zero concern. The word was voted the American Dialect Society's 2018 Slang/Informal Word of the Year and was added to Dictionary.com in 2021[2].

Wait That's Illegal

2004

"Wait, That's Illegal" is a reaction image meme taken from the Rooster Teeth web series *Red vs. Blue*, featuring the character Church delivering the line. The source material dates back to 2004, but the screenshot didn't take off as a meme format until January 2019, when it blew up on Reddit's r/MemeEconomy and r/dankmemes. It's used to react to anything that seems like it shouldn't be allowed, whether genuinely rule-breaking or just absurd.

Change My Mind
#006classic

Change My Mind

2018

"Change My Mind" is an exploitable image macro meme featuring conservative commentator Steven Crowder sitting behind a folding table with a sign inviting passersby to debate him. The original photo was taken at Texas Christian University on February 16, 2018, with the sign reading "Male Privilege is a Myth / Change My Mind"[4]. Within days, internet users began replacing the sign text with humorous, absurd, or satirical statements, turning a political debate segment into one of the most versatile opinion-sharing templates online[1].

Blinking White Guy

2013

Blinking White Guy is a reaction GIF of Drew Scanlon, a video producer at gaming website Giant Bomb, doing a subtle double-take during a 2013 livestream. The clip sat dormant for years before exploding on Twitter in February 2017, becoming one of the most-used GIFs on the internet for expressing disbelief, confusion, or a polite "what the hell?"[3]. Scanlon later used his accidental fame to raise tens of thousands of dollars for multiple sclerosis research[4].

Kermit Sipping Tea

2014

"But That's None of My Business," also known as Kermit Sipping Tea, is an image macro meme featuring Kermit the Frog drinking a cup of Lipton iced tea, paired with a passive-aggressive observation about someone else's behavior. The format exploded on Instagram and Twitter in June 2014, becoming one of that year's defining memes. After fading in early 2015, the meme got a rare second life in June 2016 when LeBron James wore a Kermit sipping tea hat after winning the NBA Finals.
