Adam Levine Sliding Into Your DMs, And This Week's Other Best Memes, Ranked

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 we've got a celebrity baby mama drama for you to catch up on, some jokes about England at the expense of the royal loss, we welcome in the heir apparent to Trisha Paytas's throne and a new era dawns upon us.



4. In My Slut Era

The meme

Sometime back in April, actor Dylan O'Brien tweeted "slut era." He later explained why. It's hard to say if O'Brien's tweet inspired this trend, but I don't mind crediting him for putting those two words together and inspiring everyone.

3. Adam Levine's DMs

The meme

Where do we begin? Adam Levine, face of pop band Maroon 5, former coach on the "The Voice," husband to Behati Prinsloo and father of two (with more coming) children was caught with allegations of infidelity and subsequent baby-name drama with his alleged mistress.

Stroh revealed that she had an affair with Levine when she was "young" and "naïve" and shared images of chats between the two, in which Levine messaged her to ask if he could name his and Prinsloo's new baby "Sumner."

Levine has since addressed the situation by denying he had an affair, but admitting that he "crossed a line."


Examples

For many people, like me, both the jokes and news were a barrage of new information all at once.

2. Trisha Paytas's Baby

The meme

On September 8, the Queen of the United Kingdom died aged 96. People then decided that internet personality Trisha Paytas — who had gone into labor a day before — had given birth and that the Queen had been reincarnated as the YouTuber’s baby. From there, a beautiful meme was born.

(Trisha actually gave birth on September 15, and called the baby Malibu Barbie — so naturally, Twitter made memes about that too.)

1. Royal Funeral Queue

The meme

Last week, a massive line of mourners assembled in London to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall (reportedly more than 250,000 people). The phenomenon took on a life of its own and became known as "The Queue."


There even became a queue to see the queue.



Netizens observed that Great Britain ended up becoming divided into two factions: the people who were waiting in the queue, and the people watching the "queue people."



Numerous jokes and memes began flooding in as people continued to wait their turn to see the dearly departed monarch.


Examples


As people waited for hours, they soon began interacting with their fellow queuers, and a second meme was born: "We met in the queue."
