2018 Mug

We started off real strong, that's for sure. Kids were eating Tide Pods and Logan Paul was filming dead bodies. That was a fun start. Then that song by Drake came out and people started jumping out of moving vehicles for the sake of viral Internet videos, though really nothing went quite as viral as Bongo Cat did. Speaking of memes, Ugandan Knuckles was a thing. Patrick Star memes went a little viral. Yakko's World went totally insane and stayed relevant for quite a while. That was a good meme. Grape surgery, however, was... It was the bane of my existence. Like, yeah, sure, it's fun to say, but it got annoying. Anyways, I digress. Billion Surprise Toys was spreading like wildfire. Oh, did I make that joke too soon after the California wildfires? I kinda feel bad. So they birthed Johnny Johnny onto the nation, and I have to say, in my opinion, that was among the top memes of 2018. It had a good run. Funnier than Amazon Echo memes, that's for sure. Fortnite blew up, too. You don't know pain until you've seen a 12 year old kid flossing to Despacito in a TikTok ad. TikTok was a gold mine for Tracer memes, too. I kind of liked the ok hand thing, even though it gets kind of forced after a while. It wasn't along the same lines for me as grape surgery, but it's starting to turn down the same road. And last but not least, Big Chungus. It hasn't really hit it's prime popularity yet, I think, but it'll probably be one of those rare gems that'll stay relevant until next year.
