We’ll remember a lot of things about 2022 (or maybe we’ll forget all the stuff that happened, because whew, what a year).
So before we say goodbye to this year and look ahead to 2023, we’ve got to take one more look back at the memes we all created and shared and then shared some more.
We’ve included a bunch of sports memes, but as you’d expect, there are some from TV and movies, along with the ultimate crossover of sports and culture with the best meme from that terrific Super Bowl halftime show we loved back in February.
So here they are, the best memes of 2022:

Brian Windhorst and "Now why is that?"
This was everywhere this summer. Now why is that?
I was told “the White Sox would run the division for years to come.”
They are currently in 3rd, and 5.5 games back.
Now why is that? pic.twitter.com/FinApHHc4I

Lying LeBron James
After James’ latest claim that many people thought wasn’t true, this meme was born.

The Moneyball meme
Billy, this is a meme. It’s everywhere. Its defect is nothing.
Billy this is Gregory Soto. He’s got hitters shaking in the batters box. His defect is that this is because the hitters know there’s a 50% chance they’re taking 101mph to the face pic.twitter.com/uwmVqWcAUq

Billy, this is Jared Kelenic. He’s going to be a star but couldn’t hit an offspeed pitch in his first two stints in the MLB. pic.twitter.com/TUuI3Ir0xd

All the Russell Wilson memes
Oh goodness there are so many. The “dangerous” Subway ad video. Melvin Gordon staring Wilson down. And, of course, “Broncos Country, let’s ride!”
