Internet culture often moves like white water rapids, so let’s take a moment to celebrate some of the best viral moments of the year so far.

Originating from a 2016 blooper from CBBC, taken out of context, Hacker T Dog’s words make for online comedy gold. Football players and Boris Johnson were among those dubbed to be normal, innocent men.

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock
The internet was set alight when Smith decided to ‘defend his wife’s honour’ by slapping Chris Rock after an out-of-pocket comment. Whether you agree with Smith’s actions or not, the edits that emerged from the incident were super creative.

Molly-Mae’s 24 hours
@hersoulpurpose @Molly-Mae Hague speaks on we all have the same 24 hours. #mollymae #24hours #beyonce #mindset #achieve #success #girlboss #quotes #ceomindset ♬ original sound - user5248343231736
Molly-Mae Hague caused a stir by claiming that everyone has the same 24 hours in the day as Beyonce. While technically true, it doesn’t account for differences in people’s circumstances, especially those of us who didn’t win Love Island.
Give molly mae 24 hours with putin she’ll sort this mess out

Uncut Geeems
@spotify Here for @juliafox #kanyewest being each others' muses 💕 #juliafox #callherdaddy #daddygang #ye #popculturetea ♬ Unka Jahms on Spotify x Call Her Daddy podcast - Spotify
In an interview with Spotify, Julia Fox created a new earworm with her interesting pronunciation of ‘Uncut Gems’, the title of her silver screen acting debut. This audio had a chokehold on TikTok; you couldn’t escape it.

West Elm Caleb
After many NYC women discovered that they had shared less than favourable interactions with the same guy, this man became the internet’s new punching bag for a week. Given how he apparently treated these women, this may have actually been deserved.

We are in the era of slutty men and I think that is good. This is what West Elm Caleb died for.

We bring the first part to a close with an absolute banger. What banger? You ask. Well, only the most successful film of all time. Despite flopping hard, distributor Sony mistook the film being memed for genuine hype and released it again, only for it to flop again. It’s morbin’ time.
