Welcome to the weekend roundup, where the trending memes of the past weekend are rounded up and examined more closely. This past weekend was completely dominated by the real world. The memes would reference real-world drama, as in talking about My Fall Plans getting destroyed by the Delta Variant, as well as the real-world reignition of conflict in Afghanistan via the Taliban offensive. The real-world references also found themselves in the form of the spin-off meme template You Are Known For, which often uses real-world stereotypes and references when making its punchlines.

Taliban Offense In Afghanistan

The 2021 Taliban offensive in Afghanistan refers to the assault launched by the Islamist movement and allied militant groups against the government of Afghanistan. Over the weekend, the Taliban achieved control over most parts of the country, seizing the capital Kabul on Sunday. The events in Afghanistan became a viral subject of discussions on social media, partly due to viral footage of people attempting to flee the country and due to the U.S. pulling its military presence from the country, a move that was polarizing in the American political sphere. Most memes resulting from this conflict stem from American politics, the ever-present military-industrial complex that Hideo Kojima has always warned against and Biden's own words about how unlikely it is that the Taliban will take over Afghanistan.

My Fall Plans

My Fall Plans / Delta Variant refers to a meme template that grew popular on Twitter in August 2020. The format consists of two pictures, the first labeled "My Fall Plans," and the second labeled "Delta variant," which is a variant of the COVID-19 virus that is more transmissible than the original strain. The punchline is that the second picture is seen as one that ruins or otherwise destroys and kills the original picture, symbolizing the Delta variant destroying fall plans.

You Are Known For

You Are Known For is an exploitable image macro of a scene from The Office depicting Michael Scott and Pam Beesly discussing what someone or something is known for, usually against their wish. The scene in question does not include this quote in its original dialogue or meaning, which is instead taken from a different sketch within the series, similar to the For The Better, Right? meme.
