7. Guy Trying to Hold a Fart Next to a Cute Girl in Class:

6. Scumbag Steve:
Blake Boston’s hat is a “New Era Red Sox “A-TOOTH” brown fitted hat,” and there was only an original run of about 1000 of them made. Now it’s so famous that devoted netizens have spent a lot of time trying to track one down, to little avail. Also, Boston is purportedly a very nice dude IRL.

2. Hipster Barista:
Dustin Mattson gave a famous interview in Eater Magazine in 2011 that really blew this meme up. He came off like a bit of a jerk, but in later interviews it’s pretty clear that the dude just wants to live a normal life without pictures of himself online that people sh*t all over. Understandable, I think.

Grumpy Cat (aka Tardar Sauce) has been a meme since 2012, and her net worth is around $100 million.
