There’s no denying that memes have been a huge part of our culture for the past few years, and 2017 did not disappoint with new meme content. With this year coming to an end, I’m here to share my personal list of the best memes of 2017.
10. Uber Drivers
            With the booming popularity of ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, it’s no surprise that people had their laughs at the companies.

9. Dancing Hotdog
            The snapchat dancing hotdog came out this year!

7. Nothing But Respect For My President
