And the winner of December 2025's Meme of the Month award, with 13 percent of the total votes, is …

Jon Hamm Dancing! This meme comes from the Apple TV series Your Friends & Neighbors and sees actor Jon Hamm, playing his character Andrew Cooper, dancing like there's no tomorrow in a club bathed in blue light.

The clip became one of the biggest memes of December over on sites like TikTok and Instagram Reels, where it was used to represent feelings of joy, nostalgia and dancing through the pain.

As a trend, participants display a funny caption that fits Hamm's emotions, then transition to the clip by lifting their heads or closing their eyes like Hamm in the scene.

This scene, set to the song "Turn the Lights Off" by Kato and Jon Nørgaard, is still inspiring memes now as an ultimately relatable clip for those times when all you can do is dance the pain away.

He Made a Statement So Trash Even His Gang Clowned Him

Coming in at second with 10 percent of the total votes is the He Made a Statement So Trash Even His Gang Clowned Him meme, an exploitable reaction image format that's been trending in TikTok comment sections everywhere.

This format takes an image of a funny-looking dog and pairs it with some big block text claiming that the dog made a statement so trash, even his gang clowned him. Predictably, it works perfectly for those times when you want to call someone out for making a trash statement.

The meme has inspired a ton of variants since December, which alter the text to fit all sorts of statements, allowing for both positive and negative reactions to content. Also, the dog is very funny, and funny dogs always make for good memes.

Jeffrey Epstein Glazing Edits

In third place with over 8 percent of the total votes are the Jeffrey Epstein Glazing Edits, a series of edgy, ironic meme edits that glaze up Epstein for a laugh.

While Epstein edits date back as far as January 2024, they became a big short-form video trend in December 2025, surrounding the release of the Epstein files, as users took several clips of the notorious trafficker and set them to a remix of Lil Pump's "Boss."

These wildly inappropriate and purposefully shocking edits were hard to avoid on sites like TikTok and Instagram Reels in December, with some employing AI to make the most elaborate and insane compilations possible.

Anthony Joshua Smiling at Jake Paul Before Punching Him

Swinging into fourth with nearly 7 percent of the total votes is Anthony Joshua Smiling at Jake Paul Before Punching Him, a meme based on one of the more satisfying moments of December 2025 for the many Jake Paul haters.

In December, Jake Paul fought Anthony Joshua in what seemed like an attempt to show that he can fight a real, working boxer. Instead of proving what he's worth, Paul got his jaw broken, satisfying haters everywhere.

A moment before Paul got punched in the face, when Joshua gave him a big smile, became a viral meme as people attached captions to each fighter and redrew the scene in a wide variety of ways, adding just a little more salt to Paul's wound.

Gloving vs. Degloving

Finally, coming in at fifth place with about 6.7 percent of the total votes is Gloving vs. Degloving, a series of memes that compare the sport of gloving to the disturbing act of being degloved.

For those who don't know, gloving is a hobby that involves doing some cool things with light-up gloves. Degloving, on the other hand, is a type of injury that you should absolutely avoid Googling.

In December, people realized that there was comedy gold to be had in comparing these two things, resulting in a slew of context-free memes drawing parallels between the two.

Now for the memes that didn't quite make it into the top five. At number six, with about 5 percent of the total votes, was Is Your Smile Stitched? followed by "Charlie Charlie Kirky," Focus, M and the insane "EFN" song. Taking the number 10 spot was SCP: Wish I Knew.

Then we had the Druski Ravens Edit, Face Under Mask Trend, Minnesota Was Promised to the Somalis and the Jester Dancing for the Queen GIF. Near the bottom of the pack were the Bout to Eat Chick-fil-A meme, Pete Hegseth Franklin memes, Mr. Whatsit, Best Buy Girl, the Afia Oil Commercial and the annoying trend of Vagueposting.

Finally, collecting dust in a pile at the bottom of the barrel were the Beedrill String Shot GIF, Eleven Mewing Face, An Foid, Umi Candle, AI Prison Sentencing, Pencil Slop, Where You Going Hemmy and the Brooklyn Sweater Trend.

Thank you for voting, and see you next month!
