OH 2013.
We hate to see you leave, but we love to watch you go. Here are the memes that made you great. Godspeed. You served us well.
1. Miley
Miley Cyrus really spoiled us with memes this year. We thought her VMA performance with Robin Thicke was enough, but then she released Wrecking Ball. Ambassador, with this naked swinging on building machinery, you are truly spoiling us.
2. Invisible spaghetti
Rightful mockery of the now-ubiquitous duck-face photo pose.
3. Doge
Wow. Much shiba. Very inu. Explanation for the uninitiated here.
4. Actresses without teeth
Weirdly chilling.
5. He’ll jump on you Caroline
Say it with us: HE’LL JUMP ON YOU CAROLINE!
6. Mini footballers
Shrunk down to size, wha?
7. Ugly Beyonce
Bouncy wasn’t happy when an unflattering shot of her at a concert went viral in February. Her publicist tried to recall the pictures, but it had the opposite effect – meme city, population: Beyoncé.
8. Dogs in tights
Oddly alluring, no?
9. Harlem Shake
So viral, there was even several brilliant Irish takes thrown into the ring.
10. What does the fox say?
CHACHA CHA CHA CHA CHACHA CHOW!
(This is going to be in your head for the rest of the day. Our deepest condolences …. Fish go blub.)
11. Cat bearding
Ingenious.
12. Scarlett Johansson falling over
Honestly, it never gets old.

13. Cats/male models
Again, strangely alluring, no?
14. Horsemeat
We really wrung this one dry as a nation, though, didn’t we?
15. Hot Dogs or Legs
The eternal question… Hot dogs or legs?
16. Inappropriate selfies
Spear-headed by the blog Selfies At A Funeral, but there were a lot more inappropriate selfies people took in 2013. After all, selfie is the international word of the year for 2013. Even the Irish language equivalent, féinphic, got into the dictionary as Gaeilge. Phew, busy year for the digital self-portrait, eh?
17. Breaking Bad everything
And we do mean EVERYTHING. Not just memes, but cartoons, costumes, cakes… Breaking Bad definitely wins out 2013 for internet enjoyment.
