17 memes that made the internet wonderful in 2013
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.

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.
Daily Dawdle Daily Dawdle

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?
