2024 is coming to an end and it’s time to remember which memes made us laugh and cheer. Jokes and quotes from social networks have become a part of everyday life, and we are literally starting to talk with them. We’ve rounded up the funniest memes of the past year.
Calm down buddy
The cartoon dog wearing a sweater and jeans gained popularity on social media with his charming smile and relaxed pose. The character has become a symbol of calm and serenity for users.
Users’ imagination has gone even further. The “calm guy” now has a “calm girl” with whom he has a “comfortable relationship”. We have talked about this type of communication in detail here.
“Of course no one…”
At the end of 2023, an excerpt from the program Investigation with Leonid Kanevsky appeared on the Internet and became popular in 2024. The image and statement featuring the presenter turned into a meme talking about situations where there are empty promises. As a rule, it is given by a person whom no one trusts.
big eyed hamster
The hamster, looking piercingly at the camera with its big eyes, fascinated social media users. The image is accompanied by a caption describing strange or unpleasant situations. Tragic music often plays in the background.
“Boo, are you scared? Don’t be scared”
The cat meme originated thanks to the TV show Funhouse. The frame featuring the cat named Whisker was “reanimated” using artificial intelligence. Initially, the animal’s monologue began with the words: “Boo, are you scared? Don’t be afraid. I’m a friend, I won’t hurt you.” But now he “talks” to users on other topics. They come up with not only funny cat-related memes, but also greeting cards.
“Meme Man Nikolai Vasilenko”
Rostov businessman Nikolai Vasilenko entered our lives with a light gait. Like other social media users, we couldn’t help but notice her radiant smile. In his videos, the entrepreneur encourages people to enjoy every moment and not get upset over trivial things. She earned the nickname “lavender shelf” from her subscribers. Here we talked more about Nikolai Vasilenko himself.
“Wow! This is a new feeling”
The meme appeared after the release of the cartoon “Puzzle 2”, which grossed a record amount in its first week of release. Anxiety, Disgust and other characters appeared in the new episode of the animated project. Internet users began to think about what other emotions might appear in their heads.
“Be patient, because the Lord is not done with you yet.”
A video featuring a plush toy and a creepy voice inspired Internet users to create a meme depicting situations that require patience. First the problem is shown, and then a bear cub in pink pajamas appears on a black background and the words are said: “Be patient, because God is not done with you yet.”
“Have you ever dreamed of being a better version of yourself?”
A moment from the body horror movie Substance starring Demi Moore has gone viral. Quote: “Have you ever dreamed of being a better version of yourself? The expression “Younger, more beautiful, more ideal” began to be used to compare two aspects of a personality. For example, Shrek and his human form in the cartoon.
Pedro the Raccoon
The circle meme, in which a raccoon dances to the music “Pedro-Pedro-Pedro”, has become popular among social network users. It shows moments that bring pleasure.
“Chinese here”
The word appeared on the internet in 2020, but gained a lot of attention from users in 2024. “Chinazes” refers to something good, pleasant, positive.
