Think you know your Doges from your Nyan Cats? Then you’ll be right at home with Tumblr’s most reblogged memes of the year list, a compilation of the most popular hashtags that got people talking in 2015.

1. Pepe the Frog

Ahoy matey
Pictures of Pepe, a cartoon from comic series Boy’s Club by Matt Furie, have been doing the rounds online since 2005. But it wasn’t until this year that Pepe really found internet fame, with his incredibly expressive face used as reactions to various situations. Sad Pepe, Angry Pepe, Christmas Pepe and 100 rare Pepes are slowly but surely taking over the internet.

2. The Signs As…

What started out as a set of horoscopes spawned into people making up all the starsigns as various ridiculous things; Lana Dey Rey albums, Halloween films, Fall Out Boy lyrics and types of sentences to name just a few of the totally ridiculous and obscure categories being reblogged right now.

3. Inappropriate Audition Songs

If you’re auditioning for the part of Javert in Les Mis, you’re not going to be singing the part of Defying Gravity, are you? Nor would it be the best choice to sing Dude Looks Like a Lady if you were auditioning for the part of Mulan. And so on and so forth, you get the picture.

4. Breadsticks

Me, on a date: So how do you feel about…

You’re on a date with a potential bae when suddenly they say something that sends you running for the hills. What do you do? Make the best of a bad situation and make off with a load of breadsticks, obviously.

5. The Dress

#TheDress is back! And this time, its ma…
Is it blue and black, or gold and white? Are our eyes completely deceiving us? Is there even a dress at all?

6. Life hacks

My snap-backs

Genius ways to display your hats, choose the right tea to send you off to the land of nod and store your cleaning products were BIG news in 2015.

7. Ask meme

Anything tagged with “ask” – lists of questions for other users to ask, question and answer sessions and posts into a user’s ask box.

8. Tumblr ExecutiveSuite 2016

Meme Documentation
Tumblr played an April Fool’s joke on its users by debuting the Tumblr ExecutiveSuite 2016, a one-day programme which gave users access to a “software suite,” including spreadsheets and yellow sticky notes. Tumblr, being Tumblr, made the most of the opportunity by turning the whole thing into a meme.

9. PSAT

For those who don’t know, the PSAT is a standardized test administered by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation and taken by American high school sophomores to determine their level of academic skill and prepare themselves for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). US teens took to Tumblr to poke fun at the test, its questions, and the exam conditions.

10. Tbt

Buquê maravilhoso de sapinho da Viver co…

Throwing back to an old picture/video/gif/other on a Thursday. Basically just a great way of reminding everyone else that you had a fabulous time a little while ago.
