See The Winner Of April 2021's Meme Of The Month!
And the meme of April 2021 goes to . . .
The Josh Fight takes first place with a glorious 42% of the total votes. In April 2020, Arizona man Josh Swain gathered as many Josh Swains on Facebook group chat as he could, challenging them to a massive duel to take place a year later. The internet held onto that promise, and a year later the Josh Fight took place, gathering hundreds for a massive pool noodle duel for supremacy and raising thousands for charity in the process. The title of "King Josh" was ultimately awarded to a 4-year-old boy in an extremely heartwarming moment where he was lifted before the cheering crowd and given a Burger King crown. Congratulations to all the Josh's who contributed to such a memeable and memorable event.
Trade Offer
Trade Offer settles into second place, with a non-negotiable 37% of the total votes. The TikTok video series turned exploitable blew up across the web last month, lead by the self-proclaimed "CEO of trade offers" Brad Eazy and his impeccable suit. This flexible meme format presents various hypothetical trade offers to the viewer, offering up nearly infinite possibilities for photoshops and TikToks. Don't expect this one to stop popping up any time soon.
Dean Norris' Reaction
Dean Norris' Reaction comes in third, with 13% of the total votes. These side-by-side images of Breaking Bad actor Dean Norris smiling and frowning came upon memers like an angel in April as users began labeling them with absurd comparison text, meant to show a stark contrast in the labels. The meme was everywhere last month, even receiving approval from Dean Norris himself who was eager to get in on the fun, sharing a number of versions on his Twitter page. Who knew Breaking Bad would still be producing such quality memes eight years after ending?
Sections Of A Joint
Sections Of A Joint goes up in smoke at fourth place, gaining 5% of the total votes. This simple object labeling format started as a way for stoners to describe how they feel at various levels of smoking a joint. It quickly evolved as people started applying the same sectioning tactic to everything else, offering up a funny visual description of everything from watching School of Rock to enjoying a baguette. It's the kind of meme that really makes you think, man.
If You're 20-30 and Your Main Circle Isn't Discussing
If You're 20-30 and Your Main Circle Isn't Discussing the fact that this meme has been awarded fifth place with 2% of the total votes then you're probably pretty normal, honestly. This parody of Hustle Culture memes offers up lists of things that your circle of 20- to 30-year-old friends should absolutely be discussing, usually made to be as unrelatable as possible. The meme was first popular in 2020, but saw a revival in April, resulting in some of the best examples yet. Unfortunately, the rest of the competition was just too stiff to get this meme a higher spot.
White Boy Summer
Chet Hanks' White Boy Summer flops into sixth this month, with 1% of the total votes. At the end of March, Tom Hanks' fascinating son Chet went to social media to share an epiphany he had about summer 2021 being a "white boy summer." Just to be clear, Chet's not talking about a Trump, you know, NASCAR type white, he's talking about a Jon B, Jack Harlow type white boy summer. White Boy Summer quickly gained a lot of hype and haters, some eager to celebrate the event, some calling it racist and offensive, but most just making memes out of it. Whether or not the summer really will be a white boy summer remains to be seen.
