1. American Chopper Argument
American Chopper was a reality TV show featuring Orange County Choppers, a custom motorcycle company in New York. Instead of us getting to watch custom paint drying on choppers, it highlighted the toxic relationship between Paul Teutel, Sr. and his son, Paul Teutel, Jr.
Tensions rose and gifted us with this particularly heated scene, which became the genesis of the meme and also our current exit interview strategy.
2. Woman and Cat Yelling
On the left is Taylor Armstrong from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2011, pointing and yelling at someone or some poorly arranged flower vase. On the right is a cat named Smudge, who is clearly offended that you said he “needed a salad.”
Armstrong isn’t really screaming at Smudge (because that fluffball could never do anything wrong), but the photo combo, which was originally created by @MISSINGEGIRL, became a meme minefield for opposing opinions. Those exist on the Internet?
3. Scumbag Steve
We’ve all had one too many “Steves” in our lives. If you haven’t, please give us the number of the devil who bought your soul, because we have an offer to make.
The image itself actually first appeared on the cover of an album by a group called Beantown Mafia in which “Steve,” AKA Blake Boston, was a rapper. Even better, the original photo was taken by Blake’s mother.

5. Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat graced the Internet’s presence for the first time on Reddit in 2012 and went viral within hours. Unfortunately, Grumpy Cat (aka Tardar Sauce) died in 2019, but her spirit, frowny face, and place in the Meme Hall of Fame live on forever.
6. Crying Dawson
The CW teen drama Dawson’s Creek provided us with a lot of entertainment in the late 90s. And this close-up of Dawson’s (James Van Der Beek) face, has been used to sarcastically display remorse, sorrow, or pity. Seriously, just “cry us into a creek” already.
While the “True Love” episode aired on May 24, 2000, it was this four-second YouTube video uploaded in 2006 that really set the meme in motion. Even better, Van Der Beek was such a good sport about it that he fake-wept for the entire internet in 2011.
