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.

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.

Math Lady / Confused Math

2013

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.

Loss

Loss

2008

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?"

Ah Shit Here We Go Again

2004

"Ah Shit, Here We Go Again" is a catchphrase and reaction meme from the 2004 video game *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas*, spoken by protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson at the start of the game. The line sat dormant for over a decade before exploding online in 2019 after a green screen edit made it endlessly remixable. It's now one of the internet's go-to expressions for weary frustration at repeating an unwanted experience.

Change My Mind

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].

Harambe

2016

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.

Nyan Cat

2011

Nyan Cat is an 8-bit animated GIF of a cat with a cherry Pop-Tart body flying through space, trailing a rainbow, set to the endlessly looping Japanese Vocaloid song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" by daniwellP. Artist Christopher Torres created the animation during a Red Cross charity livestream on April 2, 2011; three days later YouTuber saraj00n paired it with the song, and the combination quickly became one of the biggest viral memes of the early 2010s. The original video pulled in over 205 million YouTube views and sparked games, merchandise, a Webby Award, and a landmark NFT sale worth nearly $600,000.
