2018

We started off real strong, that's for sure. Kids were eating Tide Pods and Logan Paul was filming dead bodies. That was a fun start. Then that song by Drake came out and people started jumping out of moving vehicles for the sake of viral Internet videos, though really nothing went quite as viral as Bongo Cat did. Speaking of memes, Ugandan Knuckles was a thing. Patrick Star memes went a little viral. Yakko's World went totally insane and stayed relevant for quite a while. That was a good meme. Grape surgery, however, was... It was the bane of my existence. Like, yeah, sure, it's fun to say, but it got annoying. Anyways, I digress. Billion Surprise Toys was spreading like wildfire. Oh, did I make that joke too soon after the California wildfires? I kinda feel bad. So they birthed Johnny Johnny onto the nation, and I have to say, in my opinion, that was among the top memes of 2018. It had a good run. Funnier than Amazon Echo memes, that's for sure.

Fortnite blew up, too. You don't know pain until you've seen a 12 year old kid flossing to Despacito in a TikTok ad. TikTok was a gold mine for Tracer memes, too. I kind of liked the ok hand thing, even though it gets kind of forced after a while. It wasn't along the same lines for me as grape surgery, but it's starting to turn down the same road. And last but not least, Big Chungus. It hasn't really hit it's prime popularity yet, I think, but it'll probably be one of those rare gems that'll stay relevant until next year.

Wow, I've been ranting on about memes for so long. I haven't even gotten to tragic passings of this year. Anthony Bourdain, Aretha Franklin, Stefan Karl, Stephen Hawking, Stephen Hillenburg, Stan Lee, and even Ronnie "Oni" Edwards (I had to mention Ronnie considering I'm a loyal Theorist). I can't even make a joke here. Rest in peace. You'll all be missed.
So, I guess that's it, huh? 2018's had its ups, and its downs, and all of its insanity. Good memes, bad memes, strange challenges, wildfires, tragedies, innocent families arrested at the border, and a partial government shutdown to top of this strange, flaming 9-car pileup of a year with some extra horse crap. And now it's all over. Ah well. At least we have a whole other year ahead of us. Lets hope 2019 only sucks half as much.

Disney

The company that, as of late, has done nothing but cash in on nostalgia with their crap tons of poorly and cheaply made live action remakes, as well as making everyone wish that Frozen was never made. What was once a delightful animation studio and the genius behind my personal childhood favourites such as The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, and Beauty and the Beast has become nothing more than a money-hungry factory of regurgitated stories and sequels that overshadow new, creative, and refreshing projects, sometimes to the point of them stealing just enough funding to have the fresh ideas canned. This, no doubt, is a poor business practice, but it is highly unlikely that the House of the Mouse will crash down to rubble, despite constantly producing lackluster films that see more and more hate every single day.

Disney continuously makes money off of their flaming nine-car pileups that they pass as films, and won't be letting this trend dissolve any time soon. I guess we'll just have to deal with Will Smith Genie, Demon Spawn Dumbo, and a whole new tsunami of toddlers in Elsa costumes until someone slaps Robert Iger (CEO) back down to reality.

Jenna Marbles

Satan, according to Jacksfilms and all his viewers. even though the majority of YIAY fans might not have even seen a Jenna Marbles video in their lives.

YIAY viewer: *Sends Jack a picture of Jenna*
Jack: Oh, how did Satan get in here? No place for Jenna Marbles, right Klondike?
Klondike: *Confused, she just licks Jack's face hoping to make him happy even though not even dogs can heal souls as dead as his*

Troye Sivan

The king of the queer music industry. He's beautiful, extremely talented, and oh-so-sweet. If you haven't heard any of his music, some good songs to start with are:
-Strawberries and Cigarettes (on the Love, Simon soundtrack, though it is sadly no longer available on iTunes or Spotify, and, from what I've heard, not available on Amazon Music either.)
-Postcard (feat. Gordi)-Album: Bloom
-The Good Side-Album: Bloom
-My My My!-Album: Bloom
-Plum-Album: Bloom
-Bloom-Album: Bloom (duh)
-Lucky Strike-Album-Bloom
-Fools-Album: Blue Neighbourhood (Unavailable on iTunes, except in remix form)

Troye Sivan is the god of music. Change my mind, I dare you.

Spam bot

The scum of YouTube. Basically, they're robots disguised as your favorite YouTuber trying to get you to fall for some scam, where they steal your social security number, credit card information, bank account details, and other various things that criminals use to rob you. In other cases, they could also be getting you into a sketchy looking site that gives your computer an insane virus, one that can perhaps destroy your computer forever. Avoid at all costs.

My six year old cousin accidentally sold her mom's bank account details to some hacker through a spam bot on YouTube.
