Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.

This week, the memes include fake pregnancy cravings, everything guys have going on and responses to an innocent question from Elmo.


4. Taylor Swift, again

The Meme

For months now, the internet has been abuzz with memes about the very public romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The beloved pop star was recently seen whispering something to her buff beau, and curiosity got the better of the crowd on X.

Examples


Grant Brunner



3. One day pregnant

The Meme

Seemingly sparked by a post from X user @doxie_gay, people have been sharing the foods and other things their babies are apparently craving on day one of their imaginary pregnancies. I, for one, am skeptical.

2. Men have 'a lot going on'

The Meme

To shake things up during an otherwise very slow January, X user @lilmissboujeee fired off a question that's likely been on many people's minds at some point: "What does it even mean when a man says 'I got a lot going on'?" Users flocked to the post to respond with a myriad of jokes, so now you might have a cheeky reference to pull out the next time some guy gives you that line.

Examples


Adwait Patil


1. Elmo's check-in

The Meme

Elmo from "Sesame Street" is a beloved "Muppet" character, full of life and covered in fuzzy red hair. He put out a simple tweet asking how people were doing, and boy-oh-boy did it take off in a way Elmo could NOT have prepared for. It led to serious answers, jokes, a response from the person who runs the Elmo Twitter account and discussions about mental health and burnout — the post really took on a life of its own. This is less a round-up of memes than it is a narrative adventure that lasted throughout the week. Even the US president chimed in!

Example


Jared Russo



And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes,", which included reactions to a very English-sounding Dutch phrase, a drunk Jason Kelce going shirtless in public and the humorous use of an Anthony Bourdain photo.
