These colors don't run but they do make for some pretty hysterical memeage.
Singer-songwriter Grimes slyly announced her pregnancy with Elon Musk (and displayed her nipples) on Instagram and Twitter yesterday evening, and the internet has gone completely wild over the news. The Canadian artist had uploaded two photos of herself: one with nipples, and one without. Both photos have a very subtle fetus photoshopped into her womb. After about an hour of rabid internet speculation, Grimes confirmed her pregnancy in an Instagram comment, referring to pregnancy as wild and feral. The post was later deleted for nudity.
While the Instagram gods have acted upon their wildly anti-nipple stance, they can't stop memers from going in on the exceedingly memeable couple. Memers are roasting the twosome gleefully on Twitter, making copious references to space, technology, and, of course, aliens. We're pretty sure that the Musk x Grimes collaboration will result in 100% human offspring, but the meme-y alternatives and witty Twitter reactions are giving us life. Here are our favorites.
If you haven't seen Letterkenny before then we have to warn you that even if you're a native English speaker, you'll want the subtitles on. Just thank us later and please enjoy these memes and moments from the show that won't make a goddamn lick of sense to you if you haven't actually seen it.
Wheel, snipe, celly.
Canadian stereotypes are the opposite of few and far between. In fact, whenever we find ourselves apologizing with abandon, we have to remind ourselves that we do not come from the great North and we do not have to punctuate our sentences with "sorry." Generalizations aside, we're definitely jealous of the healthcare and the poutine. So we dedicate these memes to you, Canada. We salute you.
Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, and Melania Trump got caught in an unfortunate candid photo at the G7 Summit in Biarritz, France. The photo, taken by a Reuters photographer, depicts a seemingly smitten Melania about to kiss Mr. Trudeau on the lips while The Donald looks disapprovingly at the ground.
Sounds like a familiar meme that we all know and love, doesn't it? And we're super cool with it because we sure do love any revitalization of the Distracted Boyfriend meme!
Sure, we're probably not getting the entire story behind this photo, but the resulting memes are still funny AF regardless!
We have to applaud this woman for her impeccable sense of humor over an awkward situation!
As children's shows characters go, Caillou was always an easy one to make fun of. The bald Canadian named Caillou was pretty much asking for it. This weekend, the internet was presented with a reason to think twice before mocking the cartoon lad. Twitter user @NatalieZiesmer was going down a google hole when she discovered that the veritable toddler is allegedy 5'11". That's taller than most of the dudes on Tinder. News of Caillou's hulking height quickly went viral, despite it becoming very clear that this info is definitely from a user-edited wiki. Unfortunately, that knowledge won't be able to expel the towering toddler from our nightmares.
Toronto, the capital of Ontario, is the most statistically multicultural city in the world. While there are probably millions of heartwarming success stories, the tale of Nav Bhatia, who immigrated to the city from India in the 80's, is especially touching. After almost 25 years of never missing a game, he's been given the official title of Toronto Raptors Superfan and community ambassador. His presence at their basketball games, and court-side seats, have been well-documented, but until now, his amazing story has been pretty much under wraps. That changed when correspondent Mohammad Lila shared Bhatia's saga in a touching Twitter thread that we're going to be remembering for years to come.
Oh, Canada. The land of bagged milk and hockey fanatics. Of politeness and free healthcare. Of maple syrup and saying "sorry" way too much. At least, those are the stereotypes that we Americans know and love about our friends to the north. Are any of these things actually accurate? We don't know, but we kind of hope so!
Okay, we have to admit that we're a little Degrassi-obsessed over here, but we can't help it - the show brings back countless memories, including the infamous scene in which our man Jimmy gets shot, or us shipping Emma and Sean forever (suck it, Spinner). Such an iconic TV show of course deserves a plethora of memes!
O Canada, all of the stereotypes about you are true, eh?
