It's that time again – time to put aside everything "important" and focus on something real, something tangible, something that will quite possibly impact the lives of billions of people in ways unimaginable – it's time to vote for the Meme of the Month!

We have quite a roster of competitors eager to take the top spot this August, and anything and anyone from Brazilian Miku and The Jonkler to Pancreatic Cancer and Olympic pistol shooters has a shot at gold. Vote responsibly, and please stay very demure and mindful.

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 here.
