We started a new series a few months ago titled “Summer Memes Make Me Feel Fine”, featuring the best user submissions from the most popular memes of the summer. But, as we know, memes just don’t go away. Which is why I’m continuing the trend into fall with a meme for music and Canadian teen drama fans alike.
Drake recently released the music video to his song Hotline Bling, and as seen above, it’s a very low concept vid. It features some dancers and Drake dancing around in a white box. But it’s the dancing that caught the eye of the Internet, and within hours of it going live online, folks were already creating GIFs and Vines and mashups. I love this place.
But JIC you were wondering – Drake knew this meme frenzy was a possibility as soon as they were making the video. His choreographer Tanisha Scott recently told Complex magazine, “We were looking at playbacks, and he was like, ‘This is totally going to be a meme.'” Drake is smarter than all y’all. Look at how much we’re talking about this video that easily could have gone under the radar!
So with Drake’s approval, here are just some of the best Hotline Bling memes on the interwebs right now, proving the Internet never has any chill.
Ace
That backhand tho.
#DrakeAlwaysOnBeat
#BeyonceAlwaysOnBeat will never be, well, beat, but this comes in a close second. Let Drake get his life from Bieber, okay?
Fab-U-Lous
Speaking of always being on beat… High School Musical remake with Drake as Troy Bolton, pls.
I Salsa Your Face
The song itself has some Latin flair in it, so it’s only natural to mashup it up with salsa music. Sign this guy up for Dancing with the Stars.
The Aubrey Show
The characters in this series are going to provide a lot of good drama on screen.
Star Wars
Drizzy looks like he’s in pain while handling that light saber.
Napoleon Dynamite
This is really just a testament to how iconic this seemingly dumb but truly hilarious movie was. It’s been over a decade since Napoleon Dynamite came out and it’s still being incorporated in memes for 2015. What a time to be alive.
Gotta Catch ‘Em All
I am truly mesmerized by this. How do people make these? And how is Drake launching the pokeballs so fast??
Boys Becoming Men, Men Becoming Wolves
It’s really Drake’s little pelvic thrusts that do it. Which has absolutely nothing to do with werewolf bar mitzvahs.
It’s A Little Bit Unusual
This was a no brainer. If there’s dancing involved, and the Internet, then any meme is bound to have Alfonso Ribeiro swinging his arms around wearing an argyle sweater vest.
Open Late
THIS IS MAYBE MY FAVORITE ONE. I’M CRYING.
Who’s Dancing?
Honestly, Elaine’s dancing isn’t toooo far off from Drake’s.
Bling Long and Prosper
Spock is NOT impressed.
Feel The Bern
God bless Ellen DeGeneres. And God bless America.
