Top 20 Memes of 2025

Описание: The official top 20 memes of 2025 are finally here, and this year was absolutely unhinged. From AI-generated Italian animals destroying children's brains to a kid screaming "67" at a basketball game becoming the most viral moment of the entire year, we're breaking down every single meme that dominated your timeline in 2025.

This year marked a massive shift in meme culture. Brainrot content went completely mainstream, AI tools created some of the weirdest viral moments we've ever seen, and the speed at which memes spread hit an all-time high. Keeping up with internet culture in 2025 felt nearly impossible, but this video has you covered with the complete countdown from number 20 all the way to the meme of the year.

We start with Aura Farming, the trend that had everyone trying to look as cool as possible in every situation, doing their best Piccolo impressions and calculating their aura scores. From there we move to Saori Araki, the Japanese Salarywoman whose single photograph holding a folder somehow broke Twitter for weeks and launched her career as an aspiring idol. The Clanker meme gave us a way to cope with the AI takeover by insulting robots with a Star Wars slur, while Totr proved that brainrot SpongeBob edits will always find an audience.

The middle of the list features some heavy hitters. iShowSpeed's classic "My Mom Is Kinda Homeless" clip from 2021 went mega-viral this year with his try-not-to-laugh face becoming a reaction image used everywhere. The Frieren Looking Up drawing united the art community in the most wholesome way possible, and the We Are Charlie Kirk AI song had everyone claiming they only listened to it ironically. Hasan's dog shock collar controversy spawned endless memes, and the Jet2 Holiday sound became the official audio for every fail video on the internet.

The top ten is where things get serious. Horse Race Tests was more addicting than any mobile game, SDIYBT had everyone telling each other to start digging in their butts, and Jack Black's delivery of "Chicken Jockey" in A Minecraft Movie lives rent-free in our heads. Italian Brainrot Animals like Bombardiro Crocodilo and Tralalero Tralala dominated from January onwards and never stopped, spawning toys, trading cards, and one of the biggest games of the year.

The top five includes the James Doakes "But You Can't Prove It" reaction images, JD Vance face edits that made the Vice President look like a baby, Asgore running over Dess which proved Deltarune fans are built different, and Kirkification which put Charlie Kirk's face on literally everything. But the meme of the year with over 27 percent of the vote is the 67 meme and the legendary 67 Kid, that ice cream-haired Gen Alpha icon who screamed "SIX SEVEN" and changed internet culture forever.
