Weekend Meme Roundup: Yo Mr. White, What Do You Hear, You Smell Like Weed
Welcome to the Weekend Meme Roundup, where all the biggest trending memes of the past weekend are rounded up and examined more closely. This past week was a smorgasbord of pop culture, with the big memes being related to MGK cringe, Breaking Bad and another TikTok challenge. For the first time in a while, the biggest memes of the weekend could be ones considered normie, in that it takes a certain amount of mainstream pop culture knowledge for the jokes to land, but it's a refreshing change of pace nonetheless.
What Do You Hear? TikTok Challenge
What Do You Hear? is a TikTok challenge and game that involves a video with ambiguous sounds playing in the background. While the sounds play, you will be directed to a word or set of words on the screen, and when your eyes focus on one of the words, it changes what you hear in the background to better match what you read. The trend has been popular for a while now, with Yanny or Laurel being perhaps the most well-known example.

Yo Mr. White! There's Someone At The Door
Yo Mr. White! There's Someone At The Door refers to an ironic Breaking Bad meme subformat in which Jesse Pinkman notifies Walter White of somebody standing at the door, with the person, a character from a certain franchise, then revealed and Walter White then transported into the universe of that franchise. The exploitable image macro typically consists of four panels above to set up the joke, with the fifth panel at the bottom containing the photoshopped crossover.
You Smell Like Weed / I Am Weed
You Smell Like Weed / I Am Weed refers to a brief exchange that took place between actor Megan Fox and rapper Machine Gun Kelly several years before they started dating. The exchange, described by Fox in an October 2021 interview with GQ, was parodied on social media in the days following the interview's publication, with users mocking its cheesiness or cringeworthiness and creating memes based on it.
