It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times...
In what seems like the blink of an eye, 2015 has been and gone. But it has left us with some brilliant memes, reminding us that pop culture and the internet make the best comic duo.
Here are 15 of the finest memes 2015 had to offer.
1. Netflix and chill
The year where fuckboys (and fuckgals, no doubt) across the globe were caught out.
2. Hotline Bling
Drake did a little dance, the internet had a field day.
3. Pepe the Frog
A sensitive guy, mirroring our own fragility.
4. Donald Trump
When a cartoon begins an election campaign, a lot of fun can be had.
5. Everyone becoming a Belieber
If you had told people this time last year that they'd be fans of Justin Bieber, you would have gotten a rude response... What a difference a year makes, eh?
6. Left Shark
Because anyone who can outshine Katy Perry deserves their time in the sun.
7. Steve Harvey's Miss Universe mistake
A latecomer, but a very worthy one.
8. David Cameron and 'Pig-gate'
Endless pun opportunities here.
9. Unnecessary Journeys
Whether appearing on Snapchat stories, auto-tuned remixes or being parodied by other reporters - Teresa Mannion certainly left her mark.
10. Why You Always Lying
A meme synonymous with a generation of absolute messers, inspired by this brilliant parody.
11. Fionn, the rapping farmer, on the Late Late Toy Show
What. A. BO$$.
12. Sassy Pope
Serious shade being thrown by Pope Francis, Mean Girls-style.
13. WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?!
Shouting it at unsuspecting humans (kids being the best, obvs) with hilarious results.
14. Pizza Rat
If this little guy can achieve his dreams, so can you!
15. Yuccies
2015: The year when hipsters became passé people started calling cash-rich/time-poor millenials a different name.

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts.

At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
