Memes come and memes go. With every month, week, day, and, of course, every year, many memes and viral trends make their way through the Internet. Some memes were better than others, objectively, and at the end of it all, very few memes made it to the top. At the end of a year, it's fun to look back on all of the memes we enjoyed or maybe didn't enjoy together. It gets kind of hard to remember which memes were even that big at the start of the year! Not to worry, though, because the Internet never forgets.

While memes are shared all over the web, one place where all of the top contenders make it is Reddit. More specifically, most of them make it to /r/memes. This subreddit is the communal gathering place for just about every meme and meme template imaginable. Nearly everything has been covered by this subreddit, it is a great way to keep up with the trends.

Reddit, of course, also allows people to see what was most upvoted through the year. So, for everyone's satisfaction, we have collected the top 30 most upvoted memes from Reddit's /r/memes. Many memes were loved this year, but these ones took the cake. Here are the 30 most loved memes from /r/memes to take a look back on what happened this year.
