It's a Trap

2009

"It's a Trap!" is a catchphrase and reaction image based on Admiral Ackbar's famous line from the 1983 Star Wars film *Return of the Jedi*. The image macro version first appeared on Something Awful in the early 2000s and quickly spread to FARK, YTMND, 4chan, and YouTube, making it one of the most recognizable and long-lived memes from the early internet era. The phrase is used as a humorous warning about anything deceptive, misleading, or suspicious.

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.

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.

Confused Nick Young

2014

Confused Nick Young is a reaction image of NBA player Nick Young (aka Swaggy P) looking bewildered with question marks floating around his head.

Ugandan Knuckles

2013

Ugandan Knuckles is a VRChat meme built around a distorted 3D model of Knuckles the Echidna from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Players swarmed virtual lobbies using the avatar while repeating "Do you know de wey?" in a mock African accent, creating one of the most viral and controversial gaming memes of early 2018. The meme sparked a major debate about racial stereotyping in online spaces and drew comparisons to Pepe the Frog's trajectory from harmless joke to co-opted symbol.

Caturday
#007classic

Caturday

2005

Caturday is the internet tradition of posting cat images and LOLcat memes every Saturday. The practice started on 4chan's /b/ board around 2005, spread through communities like LiveJournal and I Can Has Cheezburger, and turned into a weekly internet ritual still observed across social media. The hashtag #Caturday trends on Twitter most weekends, with users sharing photos and memes of their cats[1].

This Is Fine

This Is Fine

2013

"This Is Fine" is a two-panel reaction image from KC Green's 2013 webcomic "On Fire," showing an anthropomorphic dog calmly sipping coffee in a burning room while saying "This is fine." Born from Green's personal struggles with depression and antidepressants, the comic became one of the most widely shared memes of the 2010s, used as shorthand for denial or forced calm in the face of obvious disaster[1]. The Atlantic called it "a work of near-endless interpretability," and its relevance kept growing through political crises, pandemics, and everyday stress for over a decade[13].
