And the meme of May 2023 goes to…

An undisputable winner of the May's poll, I Am a Surgeon, Dr. Han sweeps the competition with 23 percent of total votes. A callback to Woman Yelling at a Cat supercharged with Virgin vs. Chad vibes, the meme delivers a one-two punch with the screeching Good Surgeon and the inscrutable Dr. Han complementing each other perfectly and providing endless inspiration for captions and redraws.

Femboy Link

Not a month passes without a Hornyposting format making it to the top, and May was no exception. The release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom brought revitalized interest to Femboy Link, an affectionate name give to Link wearing an outfit of the almost entirely female race Gerudo. And while (according to our user) "Femboy Link" is a tautology, this little gender bender of a meme still managed to snag the second place with 14 percent of your votes. Well done.

Leave Me Alone! (Akira)

The fans of classic anime kino score a massive win this month as Leave Me Alone! ranks top three with 12 percent of total votes. The scene of Tetsuo screaming out as he experiences painful flashes of psychic power provided us with some great meme material as users edited the original flashbacks out to replace them with annoying memes and intrusive thoughts. It's a neat format, and we genuinely hope it will make a comeback some time down the road.

Barbie and Ken Mugshots

In the redraw section, mugshots of Barbie and Ken from the upcoming live-action movie were the hottest item this month, taking the fourth place on our list with nine percent of the votes. The duo gave the artistic crowd just the one-fit-all dynamic to apply to their favorite straight-man-and-their-goofy-sidekick pairs, something no respected member of any fandom is able to resist.

Skibidi Toilet

Wrapping up our top five is a familiar face rising from the depths whose innocuous first appearance soon developed into a grotesque but eerie saga of singing toilets. Skibidi Toilet is the very definition of a successful shitpost: started by a meme in which a human head sings a remix of "Promiscuous" and "Dom Dom Yes Yes," the series somehow grew into a multi-episoe visually narrated story of CameraHeads trying to stop Skibidi Toilets from taking over Earth. Fifth place and eight percent of your votes for this one.

Didn't find your favorite in the top five? Doesn't mean we forgot about them: here's a shoutout to the memes that didn't quite make it to the top this month. Here we have the mighty Gorlock the Destroyer (8%), koroks, crucified and tortured in a thousand different ways (5%), serving cunt, an essential skill for any girlboss (4%), a homemade megaphone, lovingly crafted by Dave the Barbarian (4%), the turret GF Mimi-Sentry (3%), Yeonmi Park's one hundred percent believable stories (3%), the game so bad it makes Redfall look good in _"The Lord of the Rings: Gollum":https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum-video-game (2%), Thors from the Vinland Saga having zero beef with anyone (2%) and last but no least, Dr. House being intentionally dense (2%)

Thank you for voting and see you next month!
