Unless you've been living under a rock, we're willing to wager that you've heard about the insane Facebook event rallying people to storm Area 51.The seemingly jokey call-to-action has reached a whopping 438k "Going" RSVPs, and even more "Interested." Whether you're an alien conspiracy theorist or an internet troll, this content is pretty much irresistible, and the memes are spreading like wildfire. Here are some of our favorites.

The r/me_irl subreddit is probably the sh*tposting mecca of Reddit, and things have gotten a little weirder since Christmas. On Boxing day, user beefy_cabbage shared an iCarly meme that seemed to predict the death of Queen Elizabeth. The post went viral, spawning more jokes about the unsubstantiated prediction. Most of them are fairly stupid, but we have to admit that we're very interested in what will happen on me_irl on January 6th. Stay tuned, folks.
Nickelodeon's iCarly has been popular with netizens for a very, very long time. This trending meme is no different. The meme uses a scene in which Spencer, Carly's brother, attempts to ignore the fact that he is very obviously harboring an ostrich. The stills were begging to be meme'd, and make for a highly exploitable object labeling format. We all know humans love to fib, so there's really no shortage of examples here. We've rounded up the best of the best, but you can see more niche examples over at Know Your Meme.
