See The Winner Of February 2024's Meme Of The Month!

And the meme of February 2024 goes to…

A real tearjerker of a meme, Sad Hamster has every component needed to invoke feelings of pity: cute appearance, large melancholic eyes, and, the most essential of them all, the saddest violin passage of them all. A video caption meme that instantly conveys that feel of being treated unfairly by cruel twists of fate, Sad Hamster remained popular on TikTok through the entire month and and found its way to the top of our list with 19 percent of total votes. Cheer up, hamster, you have something to be happy about now!

Taylor Swift Jetting Everywhere

Memes about Taylor Swift using her jet to travel around the globe, country and maybe even her own room are definitely not new: the joke has been flying around since June 2022 ever since The Tab placed the singer at the top of its list of the celebrities with the most CO2 emissions (something that her spokesman explained by claiming she was renting the jet out). Taylor Swift has since sold one of her jets and didn't even appear on the list in 2023, this all was in vain as an account that tracks the aircraft reported on a 13-minute-flight made by the jet (already sold by then) and the meme was back like it never left us. Taylor Swift's jet lands in second place with 12 percent of your votes.

Apple Vision Pro Memes

The release of the much-anticipated Apple Vision Pro, a futuristic-looking headset by Apple, has been marked by quite a few mishaps: the device was too heavy to wear for extended periods of time, some users reported motion sickness, and Mark Zuckerberg recorded a video in which he dunked on the product in a very polite way. And the videos of people wearing the device in public and were quickly followed by mocking memes plentiful enough to launch the Apple Vision Pro situation in the third place on our list this month with 12 percent of total votes.

Cat With Apples

If you think that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were the power couple of the month, think twice. The only correct duo to stan was cats and apples. Unfortunately, in a desperate powergrab attempt the cat grew ever more avaricious, sickening everyone around him with his ever-growing greed. Fourth place for the Apple Cat with 11 percent of your votes.

The Cartel Loves Dragon Ball

In the "fake theories that could definitely be true" we have the notion that Mexican cartels are less active when new Dragon Ball content gets released. There's no metric to measure this deviation, but considering how much the anime is loved in Latin America, the meme somehow makes a lot of sense. The cartel loves Dragon Ball and nine percent of you love cartel loving Dragon Ball, which places the meme in the fifth place this month, and remember: don't join organized crime or Goku will be disappointed in you.

Cranny Memes

And in the respectable six place with five percent of total votes we have Cranny Memes, aka interior design memes. Started by the Inaccessible Foyer Landing trend back in January, the trend was joined by two more crannies to fill with all sorts of video game and movie references, The Staircase Cranny and The Bathroom Cranny. Will we see more of these in the future?

And the memes that didn't find that public support needed to play with the big boys and get a proper send-off. A honorable mention is the best we can do for what X looks like vs. how X draws them (4%), the trigger-happy Florida Acorn Cop (4%), getting promoted and becoming one of the elite employees (4%), finding that ░P░ U░S░S░ Y░I░ N░B░I░O ░ (3%), man dodging a kettle Matrix-style (3%), Google Gemini stealing @VLONEPREDATOR's job by making everyone Black and Asian (3%), spreading the democracy in Helldivers 2 (2%), teaching your insolent offspring a lesson with One Day Blinding Stew (2%), getting jebaited into doing math and arguing with strangers by How Many Cubes Are on the Trailer? question (2%), visiting a 97-year-old NYC diner that still serves their coke the old fashioned way (2%), finding ways to impress Sydney Sweeney on Hot Ones (1%), pretending that videos were generated with Sora AI (1%) and returning to tradition with DignifAI (1%).
