From Shashi Tharoor to Kim Kardashian: Check out the top memes of 2021

When the Covid pandemic hit us in 2020, we hoped that it would come to end with 2021. But, while 2021 hasn't exactly been the year that we were hoping for, thankfully, some people still managed to find some fun and social media have not been shy of memes this year.

Bernie Sanders and his mittens
One of the enduring images of 2021 was Senator Bernie Sanders sitting crossed legged, wearing his mittens looking, completely unmoved by Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony. Considering this happened in January there is a possibility that Sanders has now been Photoshopped into every feasible scenario ever.

Shashi Tharoor smashing coconut
Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor inadvertently started a meme fest on Twitter when he shared a few pictures. He then picked his three favourites from the dozens of memes that flooded the microblogging platform. The picture quickly received the Bernie Sanders treatment on Twitter, with people Photoshopping the Thiruvananthapuram MP into a succession of increasingly bizarre scenarios.

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta In one of the strangest moves of the year, Facebook decided to expand their empire and in doing so changed the company’s overall name to ‘Meta.’ Given that Mark Zuckerberg is hardly the most popular person on the internet, it was rife for meme treatment.

Kim Kardashian and Met Gala
The Met Gala is always a prime event for meme inspiration and this year’s provided us with a doozy in the form of Kim Kardashian and her striking head to toe outfit. Although the outfit was worthy of the meme by itself it was taken to another level when Kardashian posed alongside her sister Kendall Jenner who was in a less amusing outfit.
