harambe

Attention people of the internet: no, this is apparently not an April Fools prank. Elon Musk has really outdone himself in the cringe department this time by releasing a rap song on SoundCloud entitled "RIP Harambe." Now, if only someone had notified him beforehand that he's only three years too late to the Harambe parade...

Ol' Musky even changed his Twitter name to "Jung Musk" because why not just maximize the amount of cringe possible for one person? We're really hoping this whole thing is just one big troll, but considering the meme-loving billionaire's internet past, we're not holding out hope for that.

The latest viral meme to grace the internet is actually a variation of some seriously infantile and old-school jokes. So, obviously, we love it. 

What is Ligma?

The story of "Ligma" began when Instagram user @ninjahater rallied their followers to convince the world that Fortnite streamer Ninja had perished of the fictional disease. The hope was that people would ask "What's Ligma?" and the response would be a very mature "Ligma balls."  

A week later, it's clear that @ninjahater's mission has been accomplished. People all around the world believed that Ninja had died, which means people all around the world fell for the ruse. The joke has exploded on Reddit and Instagram since its inception - and here are some of our favorite examples of the meme. We're not sure how long we'll be able to prank our friends but we're definitely enjoying the challenge. 

And we're inclined to agree. What kind of monster pronounces it "jif"? 

Memes will never put you in the friend zone. 

Fans and critics alike are flipping out over the the latest variation of everyone's favorite arachnid-bitten superhero. We think it's the perfect opportunity to do a little meme time travel and enjoy some of Spider-Man's funniest meme moments.

Relax and let the memes take control. 

If we've learned anything since 2016, it's that the internet loves gorillas (RIP Harambe). On June 22nd, the LAist Twitter account tweeted a 2014 photo of a gorilla that looks like it is giving a lecture to visitors at the Los Angeles Zoo. Twitter users started meme-ing the next day - touching on some very specific and unexpected topics such as General Custer, as well as the more obvious murder of Harambe. 

Cheer up! We're halfway through the day! 

Don't do it for me. Don't do it for yourself, Do it for Harambe. 

But before you whip it out, peruse these painful Tuesday Memes or some dank Savage AF Tuesday memes, and ask yourself: what would Harambe have done if he was in your tiny, insignificant shoes.

Okay now you can whip it out, just not in public.
