It seems like a decade ago that we were lamenting the Sonic movie's terrible animation. Even the movie's February 14 release seems like it happened in another lifetime. But the film (which actually got solid reviews) has more to offer than 100 minutes of boredom-busting. It's inspired more than a few excellent dank memes, and the latest format features Jim Carrey as Sonic's nemesis, Robotnik. The meme remixes the classic Daily Struggle format by adding a panel of Robotnik eagerly selecting the negative red button. It's being used to mock everyone from gullible fake-news spreading aunts to gamers, and it's quickly becoming one of the more popular formats on Reddit. We've put together a healthy handful of our favorite examples, but you can read more about the evil goodness on Know Your Meme. Happy scrolling!

2020 was supposed to be our year. While following through with New Year's resolutions, it really seemed like things were going to be different. By March, things looked bleak. And now, while we're just trying to do the right thing, it's hard not to mourn the year that could have been. The friends we'd spend time with, the traveling we'd do. On Twitter, this grief is being hilariously summed up with television and movie references in the form of the My Plans/2020 meme. We've put together our favorite examples, but we guarantee you'll find heaps more on Twitter. We have a feeling this one won't be going away anytime soon, especially since it looks like 2020 has been indefinitely cancelled.
Good news for everyone stuck in lockdown: the internet is still hard at work producing dumb memes. This particular twitter meme riffs on posters that clearly misrepresent the plot of the film. From Brokeback Mountain to the incredibly sexual Short Bus, it seems some production companies go out of their way to mislead movie-goers. These observational tweets, while not offering anything groundbreaking, are the kind of dumb fun that we appreciate right now.
Lord of the Rings memes aren't hard to come by. Fans of the movies and the books have made it clear that they're talented meme-makers, and this trending format, from The Fellowship of the Ring, proves that the LOTR meme possibilities are pretty much endless. This particular meme features the characters Elrond (Hugo Weaving) and Isildur (Harry Sinclair) standing above a fiery volcano. Elrond pleads with the mortal Isildur to cast the evil ring into the lava below. He refuses. Similar refusals are being featured in the trending meme, mostly to hilarious and relatable results.
