Laugh your way through the year with the most hilarious memes circulating the internet.

New year, new memes! We can't deny that the past couple of years have been a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes the only way to get through all of the insanity is to laugh, and 2022 is starting off strong with some hilarious memes. There are always good morning memes, happy birthday memes, wholesome memes, cat memes, and dog memes to keep you entertained, but this roundup is all about the best of the best. Let's take a look at the very best memes that have gone viral this year, and some that are so funny from last year, they're still keeping us—and the internet—laughing.

Why is it called a meme?

A meme is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online, especially through social media." Before internet memes became popular in the 21st century, British scientist Richard Dawkins first used the term "meme" in his book The Selfish Gene.He defined it as "a unit of cultural transmission." The term has since developed to describe the internet memes we know today.

What makes a meme?

Memes are typically comprised of funny images and text, which are often used as a form of social or political commentary. A lot of times, a meme will generate hundreds of different interpretations as it gets passed around, usually via social media, text, or e-mail.

Is a GIF a meme?

No, a GIF is not a meme, but they are closely related. A GIF is basically an image file that moves, like a short clip from a movie. The clip is then played on a loop that can be shared on the internet. GIFs differ from memes in their movement (memes are usually stagnant) and unlike memes, they don't usually make a comment on a social or political issue.

How to make memes

With so many hilarious memes circulating the internet, you may have thought about taking a stab at creating your own. There are various meme apps and tools you can use, such as Canva—which has its own built-in meme generator, Imgur, and even Photoshop.
