uno

Most families we know are pretty competitive, and many of them have those games that almost create Family Game Night: Civil War scenarios. For our family, it was Yahtzee. But for other more card-loving families, that game is Uno. 

The colorful card game has been incorporated into some memes over the years, but nothing as wild as this format that blew up this past week. It all started with a Facebook post from Damien Jones who posted a two panel image: one of a modified Uno card that says "call/text your recent ex or draw 25" and one of a man is holding a ton of cards. After @Fujyro reposted the images on Twitter, users started meme-ing it themselves, mainly to riff on things people really, really do not want to do. It's a decent joke, and a very easy meme - and these are the cream of the crop. 

These memes are so effing stupid, but we still love them anyway so we're sharing them with you all. If you've hung out around dank meme corners of the internet, then you've probably seen the "No U" trend at one point or another where people use reverse Uno cards to counteract any insults thrown at them. 

You could say that these memes are today's version of "I know you are but what am I."

The James Bond film Casino Royale is back in a big way - on 4chan. Since late April of this year, users have been playing with memes and jokes that imagine Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre playing kids games instead of poker. The photoshops are brilliant. Le Chiffre's intensity and attitude applied to a game of Uno or Bop It is meme gold. The jokes the users are writing are almost better. That Le Chiffre snideness is impossibly funny when applied to Yahtzee or Go Fish. For more gold, visit the thread yourself.

We just celebrated the 4th anniversary of Lucky Luciano's infamous "You know I had to do it to em" tweet, and astonishingly - the meme is not dead. We thought it might be fun to celebrate with some of our favorite memes of the magical moment. 

These #protips may not actually be useful, but they'll definitely make your life more interesting.
