The Trump presidency officially ended this week, ushering in the Joe Biden era of online history. From the looks of it, it seems like memes may be returning to an Obama-era rhythm. This week's memes were marked by gentle joviality rather than tense, existential formats.

By far, the meme of the week was Bernie Sanders In A Chair, as the Vermont Senator's curmudgeonly look at the inauguration became a massive smash, instantly reaching critical mass and becoming stale by the weekend. The meme was reminiscent of a simpler non-COVID time when someone could simply be photographed at a major event and become a hit online.

Elsewhere, Tall Vampire Lady memes continued going strong while the world was introduced to Muncher, a pathetic-looking ghost from the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
