Death
The world, and especially the meme community, is mourning after news of Stefán Karl Stefánsson losing his 2 year battle with cancer. The Icelandic star of the Nick Jr show LazyTown has long been hailed as a hero of the meme community. His character, the scheming "villain" Robbie Rotten, has been the subject of viral memes for over four years.
Stefánsson's battle with bile duct cancer inspired a heartwarming effort within the oft-irreverent r/dankmemes community. The subreddit played a huge part in raising money for the actor via what became a wildly successful GoFundMe campaign. Along with raising money, the subreddit dedicated many uncharacteristically wholesome memes in the actor's name, a movement the community has revisited upon the news of Stefánsson's death.
Stefán was very aware of his internet fame. He filmed a "thank you" video for all his supporters and took part in a Reddit AMA to engage with his devotees. The star disappeared from social media in March - and his last tweet is somewhat of a tearjerker.
We're sending lots of love to his friends and family, and have included some of the wholesome memes r/dankmemes has been posting in his memory. The subreddit has dedicated 24 hours to Stefán Karl Stefánsson, so head over to the page for more tears and love. He'll always be #1 in our eyes.
We're getting close to the spookiest night of the year. Here are some memes to help the days go a little faster.

Funerals and memorials aren't usually occasions that send us into fits of uncontrollable laughter, but this viral Twitter thread is proving us wrong. Comedian Mitch Feltscheer found himself in a very funny situation at his grandmother's ash-scattering ceremony, and decided that the internet had to know. We're decidedly pleased at his openness, and we think you will be, too.
Florida hip-hop artist XXXTentacion was shot dead Monday in what officials believe to have been an armed robbery. Reception to his death has been mixed - with many artists coming out on Twitter to lament his wasted potential. The death was also met with as much controversy as he received during his life.
XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, spent much of his career in jail for various felonies, and most upsettingly - severely assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. Memers do not take kindly to injustices such as this. While redditors generally avoid meme-ing the dead, XXXTentacion's sinister side makes memers feel this is an exception. And the memes are kinda brutal. Even more unsettling? The bizarre conspiracy theories that Jahseh is still alive. It seems fans have been spreading an old clip of the artist claiming he is still alive, and it has caused a great amount of confusion.
