20 More Internet Memes and Phenomena

In the first month of our site’s existence, we posted a list of the top 10 internet memes and phenomena. Since then, there have been many many more. Therefore we present you with a list of another 20! This list is safe for work (mostly). Be sure to tell us what other memes you love.

Banana phone was originally a children’s album known for many puns such as “Its a phone with appeal!” and its nonsense words like “bananular” and “interactive-odular”.

The meme has become incredibly popular on sites such as 4chan and YouTube.

Chuck Norris facts are one of the most well known Internet Phenomena’s around. These “facts” are absurd exaggerations of Chuck Norris’ strength, attitude, virility, “alpha male status,” sophistication and masculinity.

Tubgirl is a series of images supposedly from Japan that shows a fat asian woman in a tub emitting an orange liquid from her anus. The images are so “not safe for work” that we will not include them here. Googling “tub girl” will no doubt help you to find them if you are so inclined.

This is perhaps the worst thing on this list. The video is of two women digesting bodily secretions in case you haven’t already heard. I will not link to the video (you can find it with google) as it is far too revolting, but you can watch a “2 Girls 1 Cup reaction video” above – reaction videos have become a meme of their own; they feature video of people’s reactions when watching the original 2 girls 1 cup.

You should know this fad, you drop a mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke and a chemical reaction occurs causing a fountain effect. The origin of the phenomena occurred when Steve Spangler appeared on 9News showcasing his experiment which was followed by a video of two men creating many fountains at once at Eepybird.com.
