This week in memes, Asgore running over Dess became a breakout Deltarune meme, a bald J.D. Vance edit further proved the memeability of the VP and more.

Retroslop, sometimes spelled Retro Slop, is a slang term describing Roblox players who try to embrace a retro Roblox aesthetic by using old items and styles on their avatars, but ruin and misrepresent the look by also using modern items and aesthetics, often giving the avatar a messy, overwhelming appearance. Players with retroslop avatars are often portrayed as posers, trying to pass off their modern and user-generated content (UGC) items as retro and falsely claiming that they started playing Roblox earlier than they did to claim they're "retro." The term was popularized online in June 2025, inspiring memes that make fun of the retroslop style. That month, TikToker @elio.aaa posted a video in which, dressed in retroslop, he chases a player as they say, "On my mama get that retroslop out of here," inspiring its own set of memes. The term "retroslop" uses the slang "slop" as a suffix, which is often used to criticize a given subject.

28 Years Later Hung Alpha Zombie, also known as Naked Zombie Alpha and 28 Inches Later, refers to a series of memes referencing the naked alpha zombie (or infected) featured in the 2025 horror movie 28 Years Later. Shortly after the film's release, still images and clips showing the zombie's massive penis started to be shared alongside jokes and memes in mid-June 2025, especially on TikTok, Reddit and Twitter / X.

Norwegian Tourist Denied Entry to U.S. For J.D. Vance Meme Claim

Norwegian Tourist Denied Entry to U.S. For J.D. Vance Meme Claim refers to a June 2025 news story about 21-year-old Norwegian tourist Mads Mikkelsen claiming that he was denied entry into the U.S. at Newark Airport in New Jersey after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials stopped him for questioning and found a bald image of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, known as the Bald J.D. Vance meme, saved in his phone. While Mikkelsen alleges the meme led to him being barred from entry to the country, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it was false and that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied him for "his admitted drug use," not political reasons. Mikkelsen's claims were originally reported on by the Norwegian news outlet Nordlys. The story spread to British and American news outlets and social media sites like Twitter / X soon after, where netizens reacted to Mikkelsen's claim. A few days later, Ivana Bacik, an Irish politician and the leader of the Labour Party, held up a print-out of the Bald J.D. Vance meme in Irish parliament when discussing Mikkelsen's claims and U.S. visas.

The world's most disgruntled cricket fan has become synonymous with quiet disappointment over the past five years. Here's what the man behind the meme thinks of his fame.

The Real Story of the Scumbag Steve Meme

Before memes were brands, “Scumbag Steve” was one of the internet’s earliest viral archetypes: a teen in a sideways hat and fur-lined coat, embodying every friend who never pays you back. But behind the meme was Blake Boston, a real kid whose mom took the photo for a school project, never imagining it would become a global symbol for freeloading chaos. From navigating sudden internet hate to performing at meme conventions and even dropping music as Weezy B, Blake eventually embraced the meme that once made his life chaotic, turning “Scumbag Steve” into a strange badge of honor and a slice of early internet history.

Airplane Psychosis or Just Unhinged? The Leanna Perry Plane Freakout

The woman, later identified as Leanna Perry, refused to release another passenger’s hair, hurled insults, and had to be restrained mid-flight. The videos quickly spread across platforms, sparking speculation about airplane psychosis, intoxication, and the rising trend of in-flight chaos. As her influencer past and political beliefs resurfaced, the internet once again found itself glued to a bizarre real-world spectacle unfolding at 30,000 feet.
