Reddit's /r/memes is where thousands of memes are born every month. Not all of them are good, of course. Honestly, a lot of them are pretty bad. However, there are always a few gems to be found while sorting by new, and a small handful of memes catch on and become some of the biggest viral phenomena. Every month, these select few memes are almost unanimously chosen as the favorites by seasoned meme experts.

They've each been upvoted by hundreds of thousands of users, been reposted on different platforms, and started to trend all over the web. And now, they've made their way to you, so you can see it before it becomes a stale repost three years from now that everyone's still pushing around for some reason. We all love a great new meme to inspire the future meme generation, and when a good one is found, it's worth treasuring. These are the best of those memes, certified great by Redditors on the subreddit this month.
