Here are the best meme creators who helped keep us laughing through 2021.

Another whirlwind of a year, we reflect on the biggest viral formats, as chosen by our users, to see which memes climbed the ranks to become the top 10 of 2021.

This year was absolutely bananas with the amount of gaming-related memes that popped up. Among them all, these were the big 10 from 2021 that climbed the leaderboards to the top.

This year was another big one for exploitables, but these remixable meme formats of 2021 are those that climbed their way to the top of the pile to stand above the rest.

This year, we decided to take a moment to celebrate some of our personal favorite memes of 2021, because even if they weren't necessarily the most popular or most important memes, they brought us joy as we worked to keep KnowYourMeme running.
