Top Trending Memes
That Casually Misogynistic Remark refers to a comic panel by artist Ashmatics in which their trusted male friend makes a "casually misogynistic remark," with the remark itself blurred in the comic. Online, the panel gained popularity as an exploitable meme format with users editing various remarks into the speech bubble the male friends could have possibly said.
June 2024 Heat Waves refers to a series of long-lasting and expansive heat waves across the United States, United Kingdom and India in June 2024 with multiple days of record-breaking high temperatures. The event, similar to other viral weather occurrences like the 2022 European Heatwave, spawned numerous memes about the weather, global warming and climate change, with a prevalent viral topic about the possible June Heat Dome hitting the Northeast and Midwest region of the U.S., causing the hottest stretch of weather in 30 years.
The Acolyte Episode 3 Controversy, also known as The Acolyte Force Baby Controversy, revolves around the third episode of the Disney+ original series The Acolyte, in which a group of force-wielding lesbian witches use the universe's iconic power to conceive the two main characters of the show. The episode itself created a large amount of controversy within the Star Wars fandom, with many calling it out on things that seem to break previously established canon, as well as being perceived as very far removed from all prior Star Wars shows in terms of tone and plot.
The Hawk Tuah Girl, also known as the Spit On That Thing Girl or Spit On That Thang Girl, refers to a woman who was interviewed in a viral TikTok video and was asked, "What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" to which she responded in a Southern accent, "Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang," resembling a spitting sound. Instagram user and YouTubers Tim & Dee TV posted the original video filmed in Nashville, Tennessee. The blonde girl seen with her friend was dubbed the "Hawk Tuah Girl" (sometimes written "hock tuh" or "putuh"), leading to memes, fancam edits and humorous romanticization from male internet users who found themselves attracted to her. A green-screen CapCut template also surfaced as an exploitable meme with the Hawk Tuah Girl used by meme creators who added her overtop backgrounds, inserting her into different scenarios. The identity and name of the Hawk Tuah Girl is currently unknown. However, many alleged that her name was Hailey Welch and that her friend's name was Chelsea Bradford.
