See The Winner Of August 2023's Meme Of The Month!

And the meme of August 2023 goes to…

Donald Trump's mugshot is more than just a meme or a mugshot of a celebrity – it is the first mugshot taken of a United States president ever taken. The historic photo was much-anticipated, with people speculating on the expression Donald Trump was going to make, and, well, the result arguably exceeded all expectations. The pic went hard, and so did the photoshop machine in the hours following the release of the image.
Nobody's gonna call this election rigged, and 37 percent are way away from the reach of any other contender this month.

The Pharaoh's Curse / The Curse of Ra

Have you tried "Invoke the wrath of Egyptian gods" challenge all the kids went crazy about this month? Even if you didn't get cursed by Ra himself this August, you've probably stumbled upon the clips and GIFs of people coughing up copious amounts of sand-looking stuff, captioned with warning messages about messing with Ra and powerful deities. Messing with the gods of Egypt hasn't been more in fashionable in over 2000 years: 12 percent on total votes fair and square.

Great King of Evil Ganondorf Doing Things

Great King of Evil Ganondorf is a talented and capable man. Just like BonziBuddy, he talks, he browses, he tells facts, sings and does so much more. Watching Ganondorf blow a gasket and swear at inanimate objects at the top of his lungs with his AI voice has been extremely entertaining. Great King of Evil Ganondorf gets third place on Know Your Meme's monthly poll with 11 percent of total votes.

iShowMeat

That's it? That's the fourth place? That was just iShowSpeed accidentally flashing his weiner during a livestream.

The most viral clip of the month skyrocketed into trends on Twitte / X, spawned innumerable reactions and ultimately led to iShowSpeed's wholesome co-stream with Dreamybull in which the latter gave the young streamer advice on now to cope with the situation. Fourth place with eight percent of total votes.

If X Had Roblox / Zumbo Sauce

"Guys, what one is your favorite? Huggy Wuggy, Seek, scary Blue, Zumbo Sauce" – that's that you would hear if Peter Griffin had Roblox. Or Goro Majima. Or Mr. Krabs, or really any other character you can think about. The copypasta, powered by AI voice, was all over TikTok and YouTube, also spawning a knock-off version in which everyone had to pick between a Skibidi Toilet and a creeper in Minecraft. Fifth place with six percent of total votes.

"Colors" Gender Swap

Wrapping up the list of our top dogs this month we have 'Colors' Gender Swap in the sixth place. A fancam based on the short music film Colors by TOHO Studio has a boy turning into a girl as everything around starts to appear more lively and glamorous. Video captioning the fancam (and a reversed version of it) was only natural, and so are the six precent your votes this popular meme managed to get from you.

Now to the memes that didn't managed to get the popular vote but were surely loved by many of you. In places seven to sixteen we have the Boston cop going full Mach 3 on a slide (5%), women being our favorite guy in "Planet of the Bass" Eurodance parody (5%), Baldur's Gate 3, likely to fare much better at a less important award (3%), Ken's job being just beach and ours being just meme (2%), the Montgomery Riverboat fight video being more entertaining than WWE (2%), the LK-99 not-really-superconductor that got us all hyped and then let us down (2%), the Skibidi Toilet Syndrome (very scary and real, go warn your grandma ASAP) (1%), Dillon Danis magically summoning an infinite number of photographs of Nina Adgal with various men to spite Logan Paul (1%), something special done with Maple Syrup at Denny's, a symbol of true love (1%), and finally I Got Deported by Six, also known as Shadow Wizard Money Gang 2: Electric Boogaloo (1%)

Thank you for voting and see you next month!
