Top 10 funniest Internet memes

Without such memes as Double Rainbow, Crasher Squirrel, and Star Wars Kid, the Internet just wouldn't be as much fun.

Rickrolling



Who'd have imagined that one of the biggest Internet memes would feature an '80s music video from a long-retired British pop singer? In 2007, Rick Astley's 1987 sugary hit single "Never Gonna Give You Up" became a Web phenom of the bait-and-switch variety. If you've been "rickrolled"--and who hasn't?--you know the drill: Click a seemingly relevant link on a particular subject and—wham!—you're treated to Astley's perky dance video instead. The prank peaked in late 2008 when Astley himself participated in a live rickroll during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. While rickrolling still happens today, it's less likely to tell a lie and hurt you.
