2022 was a wild ride. We’ve seen a fair share of ups and downs—well, mostly downs, but a journey isn’t complete without some obstacles. Let’s sum up the year in the format we know best: memes.

Remember how Euphoria’s second season became an absolute rage and dominated our social media with memes? That was this year. Will Smith getting banned from the Oscars? Also this year. Crypto-bros getting dunked on for questionable financial decisions? Oh wait, that’s still ongoing. All of those and a lot more, are presented in memes—the most educational medium of all.
