This is definitely something new for the website. I’m sure all of you are aware that I have some serious problems with the internet. I find myself wrapped up in and enjoying memes way too much. By this point in time, if you don’t know what a meme is, then please stop reading, because the rest of this post will be far too embarrassing for me to handle.

2010 was a big year for memes, as was the previous 2 years. For some reason, I felt the need to compile an actual Top 10 list for this year, for most of you to laugh uncontrollably at. Or you know, judge me greatly for. Below the jump you will find the Top 10 of 2010, along with examples, links and all that good stuff for you to show all your idiot friends and take credit for. The year end lists are coming soon, so in the meantime, enjoy.

THE TOP 10 INTERNET MEMES OF 2010 AS PER WEWOREMASKS.COM:

10. Deal With It

These wonderful gif files are a great way to respond to trolling on the internet. As I’m quite partial to J. Biebs, I used this one as my personal favorite. My runner up will have to go to the Kim Jong-Il family portrait. View a whole bulk of them here.

9. Asian Dad

A bit racially exclusive, but most children of foreign (namely asian, such as myself and sunbear) parents can relate to. Remember your father, mother or grandparents judging you for always coming up short? We do too. I’ve yet to find a good website for these, but I have found a lengthy strip consisting of more than 10. View it here.

8. Face Replace/Tenso

I might be flying solo with this one, as it doesn’t seem to be a huge favorite among the internet dwellers. Tenso and Face Replace kinda go hand in hand, and both stem from an inTENSE facial feature or pose, which eventually becomes the butt of the joke. For more pictures of Tenso, look no further. An entire Tumblr has also been created and dedicated to Face Replace.

7. Jessi Slaughter

This crazy adolescent bitch had the internet in an uproar this summer, but her father is now infamous for the terms “backtracing” and the idea that consequences will in fact, never be the same. More info on the phenom can be found here.

6. Stare Dad

Stare Dad exploits a sad child, among other things. My favorite comic is highly offensive, so apologies in advance. The runner up is also a bit brutal, which you can see here. Forkparty’s comprehensive list of Stare Dads can be seen here.

5. Antoine Dobson

Whether you’re sick of it or not, Dobson was the biggest meme of 2010. From halloween costumes to autotuned parodies that made the Billboard top 100, this video was the end-all to 2010 memes. And sue me, but the shit is still funny as long as some late-passer isn’t linking it on their respective Facebooks this week.

4. Sad Keanu

Another underdog. Sad Keanu has spawned many Photoshopped gems, including this one, which was done by my friend Roque. Oh, and this entire website dedicated to them.

3. Troll Physics

Problem, science? I love this meme for all reasons, even though a ton of them tend to be pretty stupid. I might be partial to the troll face, though. It never gets old. The Troll Physics tumblr.

2. PTSD Clarinet Boy

The honorable mention. Once upon a time, a ginger child who happened to be the Clarinet player of a critically lauded band procession*, suffered from PTSD. Spawning some of the best pictures i’ve ever seen on the internet was a result of his hardships. Hey, the weworemasks Facebook page is currently sporting one too. View more of these gems here.

1. Joseph Ducreaux

Runner-up image. There isn’t a single meme as consistent as Ducreaux. It took me a while before I realized it was my favorite, but it’s hard not to love out-of-context hip-hop quotables set to an image of the baddest-ass self-portrait possibly of all time. Holy Taco’s 25 Favorite Ducreaux memes.

Honorable Mentions:

a. Confucius Say.

Awesome. View an image dump here.

b. AC Transit Bus Fight

“He leakin!” “Bring the Amberlamps!” and a t-shirt that reads I AM A MOTHERFUCKER will always be prized possessions of the internet.

This was a lot of fun, so I hope all of you enjoyed it. Hopefully 2011 brings us more ridiculous and obnoxious shit, so I can create a bad boy like this again.
