Eric Andre “Let Me In!”
A clip from Eric Andre standing behind a fence and yelling “let me innnnnn” at the Democratic National Convention is a versatile meme format.
Anti-Vax Memes
Anti-vaccination memes had a resurgence after recent Measles outbreaks. While most of these memes are jokes about people who refuse to vaccinate their children, there is the possibility that these memes are actually educating some members of the public about the importance of vaccinations.
Airport Security vs Water
Does the TSA hate water? Memes joke that the rule against bringing liquids through airport security is based on the TSA believing H2O to be an evil and dangerous substance that must be stopped at all costs.
