The popular Nickelodeon cartoon about a friendly sponge has turned into the ultimate way to show pettiness and sarcasm.

Honestly…We never knew we didn’t know how to spell Prague until Nicki Minaj told us while boarding her private jet.

5. Side-eye Michelle Obama

Dear Michelle, we felt your pain. We don’t know what was in that box besides Mrs. Obama’s despair.

6. Roll Safe

What was once just a BBC mockumentary, has now become the way to express a bright idea, an epiphany or just the processing of a thought. It’s simple and can be used in numerous scenarios.

7. Cash Me Outside How Bout Dah?

8. Everyday Struggle BET Awards Interview With Migos
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does it look like I was about to forget about the “Bad and Bougie” meme? An interview gone terribly wrong went hilariously right for the internet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
9. The Great American Eclipse
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some bought glasses and others watched it on the news. Some even stared with uncovered eyes and had to receive medical attention. Regardless, the 2017 solar eclipse is something we hadn’t seen visibly from the U.S. since 1979. It was pretty epic and so were the memes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10. First of All
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was such a bad year, that first of all, we need to be focused on 2018. This meme became the new simple way to clap back at someone who was testing you. It also gave us another option for “as a matter of fact.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
11. IT
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of best products of 2017 was the remake of Stephen King’s classic novel “It.” Second to that was the meme that came after. The story is centered around a killer clown who knows all your desires and will use them to get you close enough for him to attack. The memes give the story concept a hilarious twist.
12. White Man Blinking
This meme completely captured the essence of someone having you messed up, confused, caught off guard and in shock. The White Guy Blinking pretty much sums up all of 2017.
