Is the internet the best it has been? It was possible to argue that it was. One of them is this list. The simplicity and stupidity of the Doge meme, the awkwardness aroundMiley Cyrus's post- Disney comeback, and the absurdity of asking "what does the fox say?" are all here, as delightful as they were 10 years ago.

The internet was more innocent and unspoiled when I was a child.

Wow! There are a lot of memories. The doge meme changed the public image of the humble Shiba Inu A photo of a dog uploaded by its owner was co-opted by the internet and written in two-word phrases. A web page written in comic sans and the creation of the /r/Doge and /r/dailydoge subreddits were the result of searching for "doge meme" on the internet.

2. "Wrecking Ball"

She came in in September of last year and she was very emotional. The general public was overwhelmed by the erotic imagery from the former child star of the Disney Channel. A short clip that replaced Cyrus's face with that of Nicholas Cage was one of the many Parodies.

3. Twerking

The New Orleans hip-hop dance scene has been around for a long time, but it wasn't until Cyrus performed her version of the move at the Video Music Awards that it became a national craze. That performance prompted millions to search the term online, so much so that it was the top searched term in the U.K.

4. What does the fox say?

The aerosol spray can, the scream, and the enduring question, "what does the fox say?" are some of the wonderful things Norway has brought us. "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" was a comedy skit that became a hit in Norway. The song peaked at 6 on the Hot 100 and spawned thousands of parodies. It was also the theme for the annual video on the site.

5. Harlem Shake

George Miller, better known as musical artist Joji, was making absurdist and offensive videos under the name Dizasta Music. In February of that year, he uploaded a video called "Do the Harlem Shake" in which he and a group of other people danced to Baauer's song "Harlem Shake" until the beat dropped. It was easy to make and spread. People were doing the Harlem Shake on planes, underwater, and at work, and an "Army Edition" now has 129 million views. The Harlem Shake dance that originated in Harlem in the 1980s is not highlighted in the song and trend.

There are six. Side-eyeing a person.

The video of her being surprised with a trip to Disneyland made her cry in her family living room. Her parents surprised her again. The camera panned to her little sister who looked directly into the lens as if to say, "Get a load of these weird people."

The little boy's face was on billboards in Brazil and over celebrities' heads. After edits of her expression were shared on the site, she was called "The Patron Saint of Tumblr." Her parents sold her expression as an NFT in order to help her get into college.

There are seven. It started from the bottom.

"Started from the Bottom" is one of the most timeless meme's Drake has ever created. In the music video for the song, he jumps out of a car in the snow and boogies on a billboard, on a plane and at a party in the Dominican Republic. Drake started from the bottom and now he's here, being memed over his flirtatious rap to 21 Savage on their collaboration "Rich Flex"

8. Relatable Jennifer Lawrence

i-D wrote that Lawrence's relativist celebrity defined the 2010s, beginning with her "coronation as the internet's best friend circa 2013)." J.Law tripped, fumbled, and d'oh-ed her way into our hearts. She tripped on the red carpet the next year after falling on the stairs at the Academy Awards for Silver Linings Playbook. Since Lawrence's "relatability" has been the subject of debate, it's hard not to be impressed by it.

9. Florida Man

"Florida man stabs wife over hamburger" and "Florida man run over by van after dog pushes accelerator" were some of the headlines of the year. NPR called Florida Man the "world's worst superhero" because the name sounded like he was responsible for every wacky event. He's still out there, making moves, and in 2021, he was listed on a list of the best Florida Man headlines. Florida's unique combination of factors, like its mental health and addiction crises and flexible freedom of information laws, lead to more arrests and allow journalists to access detailed information about them.
