Here are the five biggest memes of the past week that you should be paying attention to.
Jay Baker
Roblox College Football League player Jay Baker got an unpleasant surprise this week as people began picking apart his game.

The memes started at the end of March when TikToker @meloouttapocket posted a video commenting on a Roblox football game.
In the video, he sets his sights on Jay Baker, who is seen throwing an incomplete pass to one of his teammates. The announcer gave him no mercy and the video went viral, inspiring others to make Jay Baker into the laughingstock of the Roblox football world.
Over the last few days, memes about Jay Baker and his terrible football skills have been going viral all over TikTok. Some popular examples include a Jay Baker highlight reel, memes comparing Baker to NFL player Bryce Young and memes about fumbling someone like Jay Baker.
Sorry, Jay, it looks like this might be the end of your illustrious football career.

Chicken Jockey
After months of memes, A Minecraft Movie is finally out, and it's got everyone saying "Chicken Jockey" in the theaters, no matter how annoying that might be.

Few movies have produced as many memes prior to their release as A Minecraft Movie, with lots of those memes being based on funny quotes from the film's trailers. That includes the now-viral line "Chicken Jockey," spoken by actor Jack Black in the most Jack Black way possible.
Now that the movie is here and the full scene is upon us, fans are taking the meme to the next level. Videos (many of which are probably fake) have been going viral across social media, showing people reciting the line in sync with Jack Black's Steve while watching the movie.
It's kind of like when people were cheering at Maria's death during Sonic the Hedgehog 3, only this time, nobody really seems to have a problem with the reciting of the line ruining their moviegoing experience. I wonder why that might be?

Get Me to God's Country
Country superstar Morgan Wallen caused a bit of a stink on social media this week when he prematurely left the set of Saturday Night Live (SNL) and posted "Get me to God's country" on his Instagram Stories.

At the end of your typical SNL episode, the cast members like to hug, chat and generally celebrate a successful show as the credits roll. Morgan Wallen decided to take another route by quickly saying bye to Mikey Madison, then fleeing the scene.
Later, he posted a photo of his private jet captioned "Get me to God's country," which many took as an insult to New York City. While SNL claimed there was no bad blood (well, except Kenan Thompson) others found the incident bizarre and insulting and turned "Get Me to God's Country" into a meme.
After the incident went viral, people began posting images of recognizable, funny locations under the caption, suggesting that places like the Club Penguin map and Blockbuster are their version of "God's country." The meme has proven incredibly versatile this week, so if you want to share your interpretation of God's country with the world, now is the time.
Examples





Nyan Cat vs. Tac Nayn
The 14-year-old meme Nyan Cat and its evil counterpart Tac Nayn were revived from the meme graveyard lately for the Nyan Cat vs. Tac Nayn meme on TikTok.

The meme in question uses a piece of art drawn by DeviantArt artist jrbarker way back in 2011. The art, which shows Nyan Cat running away from Tac Nayn, which is essentially the evil version of the famous PopTart cat, was recently uploaded to TikTok with the caption "how it feels having friends who are lowkey haters." The video went viral and inspired the first popular format featuring the characters in years.
Ultimately, the artwork is being used as an object-labeling format in which different captions are written over each cat. Tac Nayn's captions usually use him to represent a negative urge or action and Nyan Cat represents someone running from that urge.
The format has even spread outside of TikTok to sites like Instagram and Reddit, proving that these cats haven't quite used up all nine of their lives yet.
Examples





Cory Booker's 25-Hour Senate Speech
Earlier this week, Democratic New Jersey Senator Cory Booker didn't just go viral but also made history by making the longest recorded U.S. Senate floor speech, which was quickly turned into a meme.

Booker's speech saw him speaking out against the actions of the current U.S. president, taking aim at his cuts to government agencies, his cracking down on immigration and more. While some saw this as a form of filibustering, Booker's speech didn't actually delay any legislation beyond a planned vote to undo the tariffs on Canada.
To make things even more interesting, Booker livestreamed his 25-hour speech on TikTok, which was liked over 175 million times.
The lengthy speech inspired a whole lot of memes on social media, including memes about his speech essentially doing nothing, a "God's country" meme about how much he probably needed to go to the washroom after the speech and memes that replace the contents of his speech with passionate rants about hobbies and special interests.
