2018. What a riot. So much happened. So much that it’s hard to believe it all happened in the space of 12 months. But as we’re looking back on our favourite movies, albums and news stories of the year, let’s hear it for the little guys that gave us a tiny chuckle as we scrolled through Twitter.
The memes. Let’s hear it for the hard to search for, loaded with in-jokes, perfect for sharing with friends memes.

When Kylie Jenner had baby Stormi in February, she released a little video capturing all the magic moments of her pregnancy. But there’s one little line she says that we held onto dearly. Next thing I knew… I was pregnant.

The story about Azealia Banks waiting outside Elon Musk’s mansion for three days because she needs to finish a song with Grimes is one of the greatest gifts of 2018. Here’s a recreation of what their hang out sessions look like.

… to the promotional tour Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga undertook, with Gagsy showing a fondness for another line.

This is a particularly good meme. On October 6th, a Twitter user posted this photo of her son and insinuated that the Me Too campaign was running out of control:
Of course, Twitter responded in glorious fashion but this tweet, with its BoJack Horseman reference took the biscuit. This large son is, in fact, two children standing on top of each other, wearing a long coat to cover up their truth.
This is my large adult son. He’s a successful financial planner who works at the stock market and does businesses. Won’t some lucky lady go on a date with this stud? #HimToo pic.twitter.com/h344eUQrML

When Elon Musk told the Thai diving rescue team that they could use his submarine in the search for the missing football team, it brought on many questions like “how would a submarine fit in these caves?” and “is it a tiny submarine?” but it also ignited a lifetime of memes, fit for every occasion.
