Last week in an Ohio convenience store on the night before Christmas, a drunk racist got decked by a fed-up man wielding a Twisted Tea and the whole thing was caught on video. The footage first surfaced on r/PublicFreakout, which you can view here, but just a warning—the clip does contain violence. Since the viral encounter, memes inspired by the incident have continued to multiply. 

We've collected some of the most amusing Twisted Tea memes that hail the alcoholic beverage as the new tongue-in-cheek weapon of choice for anyone with an axe to grind.

There's no getting around it: the world is going through it. From protests around the USA to the coronavirus pandemic, things are looking and feeling bleak as hell. While these memes and posts won't solve any of the problems plaguing the globe, they do have the potential to improve your mood and remind you that there is still some good in the world. And that counts for something.

After months of delays from CD Projekt Red, gamers can finally rejoice because Cyberpunk 2077 is upon us at long last. That's right, tomorrow the game will be ready to play on Steam, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One. The hype surrounding the game is a result of far more than just the infamous delays and widespread advertising campaign. The game hasn't even been released and yet Cyberpunk 2077 has gained quite a reputation. Cyperpunk creator Mike Pondsmith's fiery responses to criticism over a viral trailer's depiction of race and gender caused a stir online over the summer, and sneak peaks of the breathtaking Keanu Reeves in all his animated, cyberpunk glory have undoubtedly contributed to all the hype.

We're pretty stoked about the game's release and all the new memes that will surely appear in the coming weeks. Here's some of the best Cyperpunk 2077 memes so far in celebration of the long-awaited release. Let's cross our fingers that they don't delay the date again before tomorrow!

Reddit's got a lot of things going for it. At its best, it's a place for people to share their interests and support one another. At its worst? A hellhole of bad political takes, creepy anime obsession, and cringey idiocy. Twitter's @AwfulReddit painstakingly collects these yucky moments and presents them in a way that masochistic lovers of schadenfreude can easily enjoy. We've put some of their latest and greatest "yikes" offerings for quick enjoyment - but be sure to follow if you dig the pain. As long as Reddit exists, we're sure they'll be churning out the funny. 

Happy hump day, friends and followers. Congratulations on making it to the middle of another wretched week. To help distract you from the political shit show, we've put together yet another diverse offering of amusing memes. From gaming to exquisitely dumb shitposts, we hope this serving of humor serves as a pleasant palate cleanser. Lord knows we all need one right now.

Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads  "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.

Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.

It never ceases to amaze us that Twitter users are able to pack clever comedy into a 280 character limit. We try to fill our feed with funny writers and comedians to make our timeline a little more palatable. So we figured we'd share the wealth of tweets with you. If you like what you see, give these funny folks a follow. They deserve the recognition. 

While the nation mourns the lives lost in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and the media continue to find ways to insist that guns don't kill people, video games do. President Trump jumped on the bandwagon during his national address yesterday, condemning the "glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace." The sentiment is frankly outrageous, and has zero evidence to back it. The inevitable backlash began on Twitter, with the #VideoGamesAreNotToBlame hashtag, and quickly grew to include memers in the r/dankmemes community. As of yesterday, the informative memes (some include graphs) have been hovering at the top of the page. Here are our favorites. 

It's nice to see that most people around the world are complying to Covid-19 lockdowns and quarantines. It's incredibly important for us all to work together to prevent the spread and flatten the curve. But wow. This is probably the most bored many of you have ever been. And while boredom for a good cause is better than the usual tedium, we are getting pretty tired of it. But at least, as these memes show, we're far from alone in this plight. We hope relatable lockdown memes can bring you feelings of solidarity. Hang in there.

Everyone knows that you can't have a cool action movie without a scene that includes the badass main character walking away from a flaming mess. It's the rules. Now scroll down for some of these fresh dank memes that throw shade in a rather creative way.

If you're craving memes, we've got the amusement you seek. This batch of random humor has it all: Wholesome memes for when you're depressed, stupid jokes, and self-deprecating memes that most people can relate to. If variety is the spice of life, consider this dump your hot sauce.

When Twitter user @ogrods shared a photo of a beaming Trump supporter with a Keanu Reeves look-alike we doubt they had any idea of the comedy goldmine they had unearthed. The subject, Bill Montary, shared his photos with "Keanu" to a pro-Trump Facebook group, claiming the actor was a Trump supporter and a restorer of antique bikes. To most everyone, it's obvious that dear old Bill was posing with one of the actor's more questionable doppelgangers. As one might expect, Twitter users jumped on the opportunity to make memes and jokes at the expense of both Keanu and Bill Montary. And they're entertaining AF. We've included some of our favorite Twitter replies, but there are over a thousand comments to sift through over at the thread. Happy scrolling!

We all inherently know that sweet, sweet Keanu Reeves belongs in the annals of history, but his recent appearance in a Ukrainian history textbook was decidedly unintentional - and is receiving a lot of attention on Twitter. According to the BBC, Twitter user @jigsawdeaad was perusing the textbook and spotted Sad Keanu in a famous photo of New York iron workers taking a break from building a skyscraper. 

Though most people on Twitter shared the photo in the spirit of humor and because, well, Keanu, some people were not so pleased with the error. On Facebook, some people expressed their disappointment that publications are relying on quick Google searches to fill the educational tomes. While the publishing company claims the error came from one of their designers, the book's author, Ihor Schupak, came out to express that he'd been well aware of the blunder.

"When the designer who worked with me on the book's illustrations showed me that photo with Keanu Reeves, I didn't notice that small detail at first," he wrote on Facebook after the photoshopped photo was noticed and widely reported in Ukraine. "But when I understood the meme, I decided to keep it."

Whether or not that story is true, the whole thing is incredibly entertaining. And just more proof that Keanu Reeves is immortal. 

If you're a John Wick fan, then you'll probably enjoy these memes featuring the character Abram Tarasov saying, "He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer f*cking will." Check out more John Wick memes here!
