Top Trending Memes
Italian Brainrot, also known as AI Italian Animals, refers to a series of brainrot-style AI videos, art and memes that combine animals with objects like planes, coconuts or give them anthropomorphic features, especially legs and feet. The videos are typically narrated by a male Italian text-to-speech AI voice rhyming the characters' names with absurd statements about religion or random topics. The memes started in early January 2025 on TikTok with Tralalero Tralala, a shark wearing Nike shoes, and later gained viral traction with Bombardiro Crocodilo, a military bomber plane with a crocodile face, Lirili Larila, a cactus elephant walking in the desert with flippers and many other absurd memetic characters.
The Ghost of The Goon, also known as Goonmobile, refers to a series of jokes and memes about the black Dodge Challenger car that was driven by the man from the viral Drive-Thru Goonicide incident in which a man exposed himself at a coffee shop drive-thru in Arizona and later took his own life. Memes about the car started in late January 2025 on TikTok as users from all over the world posted videos of similar vehicles in different countries, calling it the "Goonmobile" or "Goon Mobile." In mid-March 2025, a viral TikTok sound of a teen shouting, "The ghost of the goon," accompanied by a bell ring sparked more memetic content related to black Dodge Challengers.
Ashton Hall's Morning Routine is a viral video posted by fitness influencer and health coach Ashton Hall in early 2025 in which he wakes up before 4 a.m. to start his day. The clip of the influencer waking up with his mouth taped to exercise, journal and dunk his face in ice water two times was originally posted in early February but was reposted to Twitter / X in late March 2025 as it became the subject of memes, jokes and ridicule online. Many internet users viewed the routine to be overly manicured and unrealistic, while others found humor in Hall's eccentric habits, like only drinking Saratoga Spring Water and rubbing a banana peel on his face. Many jokes also revolve around Hall saying, "So looking at it bro, we gotta go and get at least 10,000," in what seems to be a mock business call. The "7:36 Pool Dive" portion of the video also notably became a meme in late March 2025.
