Rumors of Antifa being behind the January 6th storming of the capitol began almost as quickly as the Pro-Trump rally turned into an insurrection. Many far right conservatives and MAGA gangs seemed to immediately pass the blame to the anti-fascist group - much as they claimed Antifa was behind the BLM protests. Even though the FBI was quick to debunk the rumors, it seems that many followers of right-leaning mainstream media are still eager to deflect blame and weave more conspiratorial drama. 

While some of these believers will continue to swim in their seas of confirmation bias, others are apparently grapping with family members who won't stand for the BS. This viral video, in which a kid puts their mom on blast for her insistence that MAGA did no wrong, is a pretty great example of the latter. While it doesn't seem like they've changed their mom's mind, it's pretty entertaining to see mom struggle to explain something that's completely false. The reactions ain't bad either. 

If you're not familiar with President Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White, you're about to be. The central Florida pastor has become quite the viral sensation after an election-related meltdown that featured some impressive speaking in tongues. The video, which is from a Wednesday night "prayer sermon," features White begging "angels from Africa" to help Trump and stop votes from being counted. 

The impassioned (or crazed, depending on how you're looking at it) prayer and gibberish quickly became a hit on Twitter, where it inspired many users to create their own remixes of the session. While some of them are a bit lewd (WAP, anyone?) others veer towards the innocent and amusing - namely a popular riff that features the famous Vibing Cat meme. While the videos aren't helping ballots get counted any faster, they're definitely a solid respite from from the seriousness of the past couple days. We'll take what we can get.

We all know that YouTube vloggers have histrionic tendencies, but these memes really take it to the next level. We need more.

In super-cringey Coronavirus news, Gal Gadot seems to have done the unthinkable. After sharing a cringey video of  celebrities singing John Lennon's 'Imagine,' it seems people on Twitter have put down their digital pitchforks to agree on one thing: The video is absolutely terrible. 

The cover is comprised of stars such as Amy Adams, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig singing (often poorly) from their manses and gardens. It's a pretty tone deaf attempt at bringing people together, and folks on Twitter were more than happy to share their distaste. If SNL were still operating, maybe we'd get a decent parody. But for now, we're relying on netizens to roast the crap out of the video, and they're doing a damn good job.

Our new favorite social media challenge has officially reached viral status thanks to some seriously dexterous celebrities. The Bottle Cap Challenge was started by Taekwondo champion Farabi Davletchin on June 25th. He uploaded a video of himself kicking a loose bottle cap off of a bottle, and challenged Jason Statham, Connor McGregor, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Jackie Chan to do the same. Statham finally accepted after John Mayer posted his own video and challenge. 

In terms of style, you can see below that Statham is a clear winner - though we're seriously appreciating the rapport between the bald action star and his frequent collaborator, director Guy Ritchie. The filmmaker deserves some serious props for his incredible confidence. We've put together the most popular instances of this social media phenomenon, and we're keeping our eyes peeled for more celebrities that just want to show off. Fingers crossed that Jackie Chan comes through!

The internet is collectively screeching at Youtube's arguably cringey release of this year's Youtube Rewind video. The video is supposed to showcase the most viral videos of the year, but many people felt that the most influential people (Stefan Karl Stefansson, PewDiePie) were left out. Many other people found the video to just be lame - a video that seemed to be catering more to the desires of their advertisers than viewers. This sentiment has led to a campaign to make 2018's rewind the site's most disliked video - and has obviously inspired a crapload of memes.
