Ever since social networks, like the Internet, have become relevant in society, funny content with special scenarios has been among Internet users’ favourites.
This is the list of some of the most famous internet memes and their stories.
Last year this meme became an NFT and sold for a million dollars.
The story of this photo isn’t as tragic or as evil as it seems, it’s about a father walking his daughter through their neighborhood when they discover that the city government is destroying an abandoned house with a controlled fire.
The man took advantage of the situation and jokingly snapped a photo of the girl making an angry face.
The owner of the awkward smile is called András Arató and he worked in his native Hungary, where he ran various advertising campaigns. However, after popularizing this meme, he even reached Mexico to do commercials.
There is no story behind this particular laugh, other than that it is the natural human expression.
The protagonist of this meme is actor Gene Wilder and the image is taken from a scene from the musical film “A World of Fantasy”, an adaptation of the story of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.
How interesting meme
In 2012, this meme became world famous because it was funny to see the young man’s face in the photo with a somewhat “nerdy” look along with descriptions of somewhat strange situations.
The story of this meme tells that the boy’s best friend in the photo pranked him by posting the photo of his school yearbook, something very typical in the United States, on the Reddit page, where some time later users saved it image to make it viral.
This photo is only known to have been taken in Girona, Spain, in 2015, possibly for commercial purposes. In any case, this meme is still very much in force because it can be adapted to multiple situations.
Years after the greatest moment of his career, Julio Iglesias is still popular. Now it is popular every July thanks to social networks.
Netizens have used this meme for any situation involving confusion, uncertainty, or mathematical operations. Its protagonist is the Brazilian actress Renata Sorrah and the image is an output of some equations about a scene from a soap opera in which she took part.
Little is known about the origins of some memes, such as this one. However, the fact is that it was used in 2013 to drive immigration reform in the United States.
It comes from a comic strip whose protagonist is the popular superhero Batman and has been used countless times to describe situations where a comment might leave you stunned.
Also from a film whose main character is Reece Simpson, better known as “Roll Safe”, played by actor Kayode Ewumi.
