Yusuf Dikeç, a 51-year-old Turkish sharpshooter and former Gendarmerie non-commissioned officer, rose to global viral fame at the 2024 Paris Olympics for his relaxed, minimalist approach to competition. Shooting in the mixed team 10m air pistol event with only regular glasses and small yellow earplugs rather than standard protective gear, he and partner Şevval İlayda Tarhan secured a historic silver medal, marking Turkey’s first Olympic medal in shooting. His composed demeanor and signature "swag pose" sparked an internet sensation, leading to widespread memes and a successful trademark application for his image.

Scumbag Steve is a viral internet meme from January 2011 featuring a photograph of Blake Boston, a teenager from Massachusetts, wearing a sideways Red Sox cap and a fur-collared coat. The image macro format uses top and bottom text to depict a fictional character who engages in selfish, inconsiderate, or unethical social behaviors, serving as the negative counterpart to "Good Guy Greg." Although the meme initially caused Boston significant distress and harassment, he eventually embraced the notoriety, leveraging the fame to launch a rap career and make public appearances at events like ROFLcon.

The Laughing Leo meme features an image macro of Leonardo DiCaprio as the character Calvin Candie in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film Django Unchained. Captured mid-laugh while holding a drink, the image embodies smugness and mockery, making it a popular reaction for conveying disbelief at absurdity or sarcasm. The meme gained widespread traction starting in late 2017 with Photoshop edits and saw a major resurgence on Reddit in August 2020, where it became a staple for mocking failures, mocking stupidity, or reacting to ironic situations.

The "Fat JD" meme is a viral internet caricature of U.S. Vice President JD Vance that depicts him with an exaggeratedly round face, widened eyes, and long, curly brown hair. Originating in February 2025 following a contentious meeting where Vance repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "Did you even say thank you?", the image became a symbol of mockery regarding his diplomatic conduct and perceived petulance. In a notable turn of events in October 2025, Vance leaned into the ridicule by dressing as the "Fat JD" character for Halloween, donning a curly wig and reenacting the meme in social media videos.

Bad Luck Brian is a viral internet meme originating from a 2005 high school yearbook photo of Kyle Craven, a student from Ohio who intentionally made a goofy, awkward face for the picture. The image, featuring a blonde teenager in a plaid sweater vest and braces, was uploaded to Reddit in January 2012 by Craven’s friend Ian Davies with the caption “Takes driving test".

The Kevin James "shrug" meme is based on a stock photo of actor Kevin James from the set of the TV show "The King of Queens," where he is seen smirking and shrugging while wearing a green flannel shirt and having his hands in his pockets. The image, originally taken in the late 1990s, gained unexpected popularity in late 2023 when it was shared on social media platforms like Twitter, where it was used as a reaction image and image macro, often paired with captions about being confidently cheeky or mischievous.
