It's time to take off that tin foil hat, put down that doomsday predicting can of Mountain Dew and catch up on some of the biggest memes of the week.

This week, that old forgotten friend Clippy made a comeback as a symbol of revolt, Wplace got taken over by Deltarune fans, people started racing to turn egg yolks blue and an old Howard Stern Show clip turned a bunch of people into feminists.

Here are five of the biggest memes of last week that you need to check out.

Clippy PFP Movement

The old Microsoft Office assistant Clippy has become the face of a revolution against unethical business practices by tech companies, thanks to YouTuber Louis Rossmann.

Rossmann recently put out a video where he talks about the harmful and unethical practices employed by big tech companies like Microsoft and Meta. Mainly, he talks about the selling of data, including the selling of data to train AI programs.

Throughout the video, he celebrates Clippy, a chatbot that used to come with Microsoft Office and answer any questions that users had, for the fact that Clippy never stole or used your data.

Ultimately, Rossmann encouraged viewers to change their profile pictures everywhere to images of Clippy as a sign of revolution.

The video has been pretty successful so far, resulting in floods of Clippy PFPs across YouTube and other platforms. Whether it will actually convince these companies to change their practices or not remains to be seen.

Examples

Buttaface Contest Girl Stacy

A brutal clip from the 2004 "Miss Buttaface Contest," hosted on The Howard Stern Show, has resurfaced, and it's got everyone cringing at the treatment of a contestant named Stacy.

For those who don't know, the "Miss Buttaface Contest" was a contest where a panel of judges, including Howard Stern, judged the bodies of women said to have "butter faces," meaning an unattractive face but attractive body.

One of these contestants was Stacy, who walked onto the stage with a bag over her head. Stern gave her body a 10 out of 10 rating. Then, she takes off the bag, and the crowd starts booing.

The clip cuts off when the booing heats up. In reality, the rest of the clip shows the judges admitting her face is attractive.

But that's not what Twitter saw, resulting in a lot of heated discourse about feminism, beauty standards, and just how much times have changed. Somehow, it seems unlikely the Miss Buttaface Contest would ever be a thing in 2025.

Examples

Mountain Dew Conspiracy Theory

Mountain Dew announced a new permanent flavor recently, Baja Midnight, reigniting interest in a bizarre conspiracy theory about Mountain Dew flavors predicting world tragedies.

A post shared by Ro Fisher (@idkroofficial)

The Mountain Dew conspiracy theory first popped up in February 2025, when content creator Ro Fisher shared it on his podcast.

According to Ro, the release of certain flavors of Mountain Dew closely preceded major world tragedies, and the names of the flavors hinted at those tragedies.

The first example is Code Red, released three months before the September 11th attacks, which he refers to as a major "code red" moment. Then he claims that Maui Burst was released three months before the wildfires in Maui. Then, he says that Star Spangled Splash was released before the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed.

All those spooky coincidences ensured that the theory continued to spread over the next few months. Recently, YouTuber The Food Theorists even did a full investigation of the theory, finding some holes in some of the flavors' release dates.

Still, now that Mountain Dew has unleashed a new flavor on the public, believers in the theory are waiting on the edge of their seats to see how they can connect it to the next major tragedy.

Deltarune Art On Wplace

Wplace is proving to be an interesting experiment, but some people aren't too happy about how much Deltarune sprite art is covering the map.

Wplace has been going viral all August. It provides users with a map of the world that they can draw pixel art on while competing for a spot on the leaderboard.

Just like the /r/place subreddit that inspired it, the map is largely being taken over by members of fandoms for a variety of anime series, video games and more.

One of the strongest fandoms on the map has proven to be the Deltarune fandom, who have taken up tons of real estate with drawings of their favorite characters from the series.

On the one hand, a lot of the art is high quality. On the other hand, it's hard to avoid, and some fans are taking over others' works of art with their Deltarune drawings.

One popular trend has Deltarune fans color in the eyes of other pieces of art to resemble Spamton's eyes. Some people are getting a little annoyed by this, and they're venting their frustrations on social media.

Examples

Blue Egg Yolk Speedruns

Finally, Photoshop masters and amateurs alike are competing to turn the yolk of an egg blue as fast as possible, making for one of the dumbest social media trends of 2025.

It all started when X user @multimodalart made a post hyping up an AI image generation model, qwen-image. The tweet claims that "very few models can do things like 'a fried egg with a blue yolk,'" and shares an image of an egg with a blue yolk, presumably made by qwen-image.

This got the anti-AI folks a little heated, inspiring pushback as people booted up Photoshop to show just how fast they could turn an egg yolk blue.

Now, Twitter is covered with videos of people doing their best to speedrun turning egg yolks blue and get a one-up on artificial intelligence. The real question is, how many of these people have changed their profile pictures to Clippy?
