This week, a bootleg Metal Sonic plush took over the Sonic fandom, hype for Doug's winter party built, Kendrick Lamar became another meme and Taylor Swift got booed.

Kendrick Lamar "Say Drake," also known as Kendrick Lamar Smiling and Say Drake, I Hear You Like 'Em Young, refers to a viral image of American rapper Kendrick Lamar grinning at the camera while rapping the line "Say Drake" from his diss track "Not Like Us" during his NFL Super Bowl performance in early February 2025. The moment was later used as an exploitable image macro meme and reaction image on social media, fueling the Kendrick vs. Drake feud and spawning a slew of memes editing Kendrick Lamar into various jokes.

Cave Diver Memes, also known as Cave Divers Be Like or Cave Divers For No Reason At All, refers to a series of memes about people who explore caves and do cave diving, often called cavers, cave divers or cave explorers. The memes express the sentiment that cave divers are crazy because the activity seems terrifying and extremely dangerous for little reward. Memes making fun of cave divers surfaced en masse following discourse about the Nutty Putty Cave Incident when a man named John Edwards Jones died inside a Utah cave upside-down in 2009. Cave Diver Memes resurfaced en masse on TikTok and Instagram Reels in early 2025 when video creators posted skits about cave divers discovering impossibly tiny holes and crevices to wedge themselves into. The trend's visual punchline was shoes sticking out of the initially presented opening. The trend's primary TikTok sound was an instrumental for the Xaviersobased song "Vibrator."

Influencer Smurf refers to memes and jokes about a YouTube influencer Smurf introduced by Rihanna, who voices the character Smurfette, in a trailer for the 2025 film Smurfs. Following the reveal of the character in early February 2025, internet users made jokes about Influencer Smurf's various imagined controversies and criticized the movie's attempts to relate to a younger, online audience. Many jokes about Influencer Smurf being canceled revolved around him being a groomer, parodying the numerous YouTuber grooming controversies from over the years.
