birthday

At this point, the meme world has bestowed its own celebrity status to many actors and public figures. Nic Cage was absolutely everywhere for a while. Keanu has lent his mug to everything from Sad Keanu to Mini Keanu, with a ton of wholesomeness in between. To be a star these days is to submit yourself to the meme makers of the internet. And some media personalities fare better than others. 

One person who's been both roasted (for his revolting pasta recipe) and revered in meme history is actor Robert Pattinson. Nearly a decade and a half after he graced screens as Edward Cullen in the Twilight series, he's become somewhat of a meme mainstay. His role in the Sadie Brothers' tense and thrilling Good Time was especially fruitful where formats are concerned. The classic track jacket meme has been everywhere since its inception, and this year we've got the 'You Think You're Better Than Me' format trending amongst both Redditors and A24 junkies. As today is Pattinson's birthday, we thought we'd celebrate with a handpicked selection of memes that feature him as a star. Some of them are dated. Others are extremely stupid in the name of irony. And others have become classics. But we're happy that they all celebrate our favorite sparkly vampire turned indie darling.

While this thread may seem like "first world problems" to some of you, we found it to be pretty entertaining. Earlier today, Redditor u/sulemannkhan asked the r/AskReddit community to share the absolute worst birthday gifts they'd ever received. The people of Reddit complied, sharing tragic tales of callous re-gifting, second-hand hairbrushes, and for one lucky eighteen-year-old? A used Disney coloring book. If you've ever received a "dud" gift and had to bite your tongue and feign happiness, this gallery is for you.

Picking a card for a loved one, whether it's for a joyous or somber occasion, is generally an activity of thoughtfulness. While there are some exceptions, most of these people seem to be lacking in the empathy department. The cards range from hilariously obviousmuck-ups to seemingly painstakingly purposeful pranks, but they're all worthy of a smile and maybe a chuckle.

Ryan Reynolds is back at his troll game, and he's at it hard. The handsome actor, who is pretty well known for his amazing tweetsand Instagram posts, decided to do something special for his very pregnant wife on her birthday yesterday. Reynolds posted an entire gallery of Blake Lively in far more unflattering situations than we're used to. While Lively is hard pressed to take a bad photos, the gallery is extremely silly, and a very Reynolds-style troll. You may remember his birthday message from a couple years ago. What really makes these two #couplegoals (barf) is that Blake is not afraid to troll back. After those strategically cropped photos went up for her birthday, she fired back on his special day withphotos of Ryan Gosling. We can't wait to see the kind of mischief they get up to in future posts. 

Happy birthday to all the birthday betches out there! We just want to take this time to appreciate you and celebrate your lap around the sun with memes. Even if it's not your actual birthday, who cares! Now go out and party it up, but drink responsibly, dammit!

Birthdays can be a sensitive thing to celebrate. While some people feed on the attention and stretch their celebrations for as long as possible, others are more inclined to crawl into a hole and pretend they're not another year closer to death. Whether you opt to have an extravagant party or prefer to lean into the existential crisis, you're sure to find something relatable in this assortment of birthday memes.

These things would be the perfect gifts to get someone you hate. For example, your boss who won't give you a raise, your weird uncle, or that annoying neighbor kid who always wants to hang out with you. The list is endless, depending on how many people you hate! Which is probably a lot of people!
