About a year and a half back, I made a "Periodic Table of Memes". Today, I was searching through the database and noticed I wasn't the only one. The other person who made one attached a challenge to his(?) to try and name all the memes in the table, which I hadn't done, but had considered to be a possibility. Anyway, if anyone wants to give it a shot, here are the images (clicking should open the image in a new tab for easier viewing).

pzykosiz's PToM:

Brucker's PToM:

I suggest if you want to post your answers, use a list form like:
H: Happy Cat
He: Herp Derp
Li: Like a Boss

The prize is…nothing, but you will have an enormous e-penis.

I feel like they relied too much on the letters, and not enough on the elements' properties, in deciding what goes where.

High Expectations Father is not Helium.

In Brucker's table, at the place of mercury, that laughing guy, which meme is that? I remember it, but not how it's called :/

@Serious Business:
Back in the '90s, I used to always see these "Periodic Table of X" posters, and they usually went with items that matched the atomic symbols. Pzykosiz and I both went for that strategy independently, so it's certainly not unreasonable. How would you have approached it? Like this

…or did you have some other idea?

@Mike:
Ha! Ha! Guy

Thanks :D

Pzykosiz’s took me long enough, someone else can have a go at Brucker's.

I'll throw my answer below a spoiler so everyone else can have his own go at it. I can say no cheating, but we know people will do that. Here's one tip though, the letters commonly have something to do with the meme. I didn't know 3 answers, which I placed in bold. So I'm pretty proud of my E-penis.

@RandomMan:
Impressive! I think I got stumped on 15 of his, although Hf has a pretty poor quality picture, so I personally can't even tell what I'm supposed to see there. Hg is a pretty obscure one that never really caught on in a big way, but I remembered it because I thought it was awesome and always wished it had been more successful. The meme at Re is of course more memorable if you actually played that game, which I did.

I think you're wrong on Ir and Zr, although I admit I don't know what Zr is myself. While your solution for Eu is okay, based on the letters, I think he meant the other one and I got a different answer for Ck, but I think either fits.

@RandomMan:
I got a PM from pzykosiz with the answers for his, and you were right about Zr. We were both wrong on Cl and the rest were as I already commented, so good job. Oh, yeah, and while I didn't feel sure enough to guess, if I had been forced to guess on Hf, I would have been right.
