As the first month of spring closes in and the weather invites us to finally stop playing Elden Ring and step outside to touch some fresh grass, let's not forget about our vital duty to select and crown the best meme of the month. Luckily, March has provided us with quite a platter of delectable memes and meme formats to pick from, from a dog that was not too fond of gay people, to people freaking out about 33 plus 77 not being equal to 100, to Nerd Emoji becoming a menacing weapon, to Will Smith's slap going down in television and meme history. My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to vote.

The Meme of the Month is a poll commissioned by the Know Your Meme research staff at the end of each month to commemorate the single most notable meme that is on the rise, as determined by your vote and our community. For the past winners, please visit our archives.
