The Olympics are one of the most beloved sporting events in the world, and while the memes about them are perhaps not as impressive as the epic performances given by the athletes, they are still excellent. Every four years, the world comes together over to ferociously compete in a variety of sports, some niche and some not-so niche. As nations brawl in the pool, on the court and at the range, Olympics viewers at home gather together to watch and comment.

These Paris Olympics memes, gathered from Reddit, are the fruit of the couch-bound spectators who have something to say about the games. They're here for us all to enjoy as we engage in activities that are, on the surface, less impressive than what the athletes do, but just as essential to keep the world running. So, as we learn new varieties of Olympic sportsball and find ourselves overwhelmed with patriotic fervor for the most-medaled country so far, the United States of America (or whichever lower-performing land you hail from) the Olympics serve as a powerful reminder of what really unites the world as one: laughing at stuff on screens.
