Epic Oscars Flub Inspires Internet: See the Best Memes!
It was the Gaffe Heard and Seen and Laughed at "Round the World.
To wrap up the 2017 Academy Awards, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope.
As a result, they announced La La Land as Best Picture… only for the cast and crew to take to the stage and be told that an epic mistake had occurred.
The winner was actually Moonlight.
In response, director Barry Jenkins was handed the trophy and gave a speech – and the Internet sprung into action!
Here"s a look at the most hilarious memes this stunning mistake inspired shortly after it was made:
1. A True Stunner
We did NOT see this coming.
2. Like Half the Internet Did This
But it had to be one.

Cincinnati Zoo Deletes Twitter Account Due to Harambe Memes
Back in May, officials at the Cincinnati Zoo killed a gorilla named Harambe after a 3-year-old boy fell into his enclosure.
Fearing for the boy’s life and believing that a tranquilizer dart would only agitate Harambe, authorities made the difficult decision to put the 17-year-old animal down.
They never could have predicted that they’d just created a social media icon.
In the months since Harambe’s passing, memes about the late lowlands beast have popped up constantly on Twitter and Instagram.
They started predictably enough:
And got increasingly strange as time wore on:
Zoo officials asked the public to stop making posting images that reminded those involved in the Harambe incident of the tragedy.
But clearly those folks don’t really understand how the Internet works, as that only added fuel to the fire.
At this point, there are even memes about how ridiculously long the Harambe joke has been running:
Like we said, the Harambe stuff has gotten weirder and weirder as time goes by (though who doesn’t love a good Sandlot reference?)
In addition to the captioned images, there have been trending hashtags like the bizarrely popular (and yes, somewhat hilarious) #DicksOutForHarambe.
But the folks at the Cincinnati Zoo are not seeing the humor in the situation.
Yesterday, the zoo released an official statement asking the public to cool it with the memes:
“We are not amused by the memes, petitions and signs about Harambe,” the statement read.
“Our zoo family is still healing, and the constant mention of Harambe makes moving forward more difficult for us.
“We are honoring Harambe by redoubling our gorilla conservation efforts and encouraging others to join us .”
Unfortunately that was followed by a comment from a blog post from a Cincinnati journalist that read in part:
“The goofuses of the Internet hopped on the Harambe train for their jollies, and it has gotten out of control.”
If you’ve spent much time on social media, we probably don’t need to tell you what happened next.
The memes came fast and furious, and last night, the Cincinnati Zoo deleted its Twitter account.
Is it another sad development in a tragic case or justice for Harambe finally served?
Or is it neither, and the Cincinnati Zoo just needs to lighten up?
We have no idea, but we’re sure plenty of opinions are being offered up on Twitter.

"Kardashian Curse" Inspires Memes, Jokes About Kanye West
As you’ve probably heard by now, Lamar Odom nearly died from a drug overdose last week and is currently undergoing extensive physical therapy
Less than 24 hours after that shocking news broke, we learned that Scott Disick checked into rehab for the sixth time.
The two incidents are probably unrelated, but they’ve led to jokes, speculation, blog posts and memes about the ways in which the Kardashians seem to ruin men’s lives.
It’s ridiculous to think that the women themselves have such a negative impact on the lives of downtrodden dudes like Scott, Lamar and Rob Kardashian, but the guys’ issues may have a common bond.
Perhaps these guys just had trouble coping with the fame and scrutiny that accompanied their involvement with “America’s first family.”
Whatever the case, folks on social media are having a field day with memes like this:
That one was stolen posted to Instagram by famed hack/joke thief The Fat Jew. It’s just one example of the newest form of Kardashian-bashing.
Ragging on the Kardasdhians is one of the Internet’s favorite pastimes, and we would never try to put a stop to it, but if this “Kardashian Curse” trend is to continue, it’s important to keep a few things clear:
- Caitlyn’s life was not ruined. She seems to be doing just fine. Don’t be D-bags, y’all.
- Scott and Lamar almost certainly suffered from substance abuse issues before they got romantically involved with members of the Kard clan. In fact, Kourtney and Khloe deserve credit for expressing their concern and offering help even after their relationships were through.
- Kanye will be just fine. You can see the dude’s ego from space. We can’t be certain about Tyga.
- Rob Kardashian probably suffers from depression. Yes, the constant glare of the reality show spotlight almost certainly isn’t helping his condition, but it’s not like his sisters are planning a two-hour special where they repeatedly bash his testicles with a sledgehammer.
Although come to think of it, that would probably pull in bigger ratings and be less painful to watch than Kim and Kris Humphries’ wedding.
Anyway, fame ruining people’s lives is nothing new, and the Kardashian gals aren’t to blame for their men’s recent misfortunes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t joke about the idea. Hell, we sure did:
