Laugh your way through the end of 2022 with the most hilarious memes that circulated the internet

Oh, 2022 ... what a year it's been. Sometimes the only way to get through the ups and downs is to laugh, and 2022 is wrapping up with some truly hysterical memes. There are always good morning memes, happy birthday memes, wholesome memes, feminist memes, cat memes and dog memes to keep you entertained, but this roundup is all about the best of the best. Let's take a look at the very best memes that went viral this year. They're keeping us-and the internet-laughing through New Year's.

Why is it called a meme?

A meme is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online, especially through social media." Before internet memes became popular in the 21st century, British scientist Richard Dawkins used the term meme in his book The Selfish Gene. He defined it as "a unit of cultural transmission." The term has since developed to describe the internet memes we know today.

What makes a meme?

Memes are typically comprised of funny images and text, which are often used as a form of social or political commentary. A lot of times, a meme will generate hundreds of different interpretations as it gets passed around, usually via social media, text and email.

Is a GIF a meme?

No, a GIF is not a meme, but they are closely related. A GIF is basically an image file that moves, like a short clip from a movie. The clip is then played on a loop that can be shared on the internet. GIFs differ from memes in their movement (memes are usually static), and unlike memes, GIFs don't usually make a comment on a social or political issue.

How to make memes

With so many hilarious memes circulating the internet, you may have thought about taking a stab at creating your own. There are various meme apps and tools you can use, such as Canva-which has its own built-in meme generator- Imgur and even Photoshop. And who knows, your new meme creations could go viral, just like the ones below.

Make sure you laugh your way through all the holidays with memes for April Fools' Day, Fourth of July and Halloween.

The "girl explaining" meme gave us the perfect setup for elaborating on very specific topics

EVEN THOUGH THE PIECE OF DEBRIS IS PHYSICALLY LARGE ENOUGH FOR BOTH JACK AND ROSE, IT IS VERY CLEAR WHEN HE TRIES TO CLIMB UP THAT IT'S NOT BUOYANT ENOUGH WHICH IS THE REAL PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE HIS SACRIFICE ON BEHALF OF THE WOMAN HE LOVES IS AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER MOMENT FOR A M pic.twitter.com/6C97rrfEsM

The "If I text [emoji] it means ..." memes had Twitter in a twist (in a good way)
