Donald Trump Touching Mike Pence’s Knee is a series of image macros of United States President Donald Trump seemingly comforting Vice President Mike Pence during Reverend Billy Graham’s funeral by touching his leg. The meme is generally used in object labeling.
On February 28th, 2018, Getty Images photographer Mandel Ngan uploaded a photograph of President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence at the funeral for Reverend Billy Graham.[1] In the photograph (shown below), Trump can be seen reaching over his wife Melania and touching the thigh of Mike Pence.
That day, the website The Cut,[2] published an article about the picture.
Two days later, HuffPost reporter Ashley Feinberg tweeted[3] the picture and two zoomed-in pictures of the hand on Pence’s leg and Pence’s face. She captioned the picture, “when you desperately need mother.” The post (shown below, left) received more than 6,700 retweets and 34,000 likes in two weeks.
On March 15th, Redditor[4] NorbertH66 posted an object labeling version of the photo, which was originally posted by Instagram[5] user @epic_meme_gang on March 14th. The image features the words “My pee getting stored” overlaid on Trump, “Some made up organ called the bladder” over Melania and “My balls” on Pence. This Pee is Stored in the Balls variation (shown below, center) received more than 18,000 points (83% upvoted) and 285 comments in 24 hours.

Warhammer: Vermintide is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game series set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Both games in the series were developed by Fatshark and have been released on Windows, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
Fastshark, the developers behind War of the Roses, wanted to develop a Warhammer game since after playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 2004.[1] The team approached Games Workshop in 2013 for a license to Warhammer and began working on the first Vermintide game that year. The team coordinated with Games Workshop to ensure their vision for their game did not contradict the Warhammer series and to ensure the game had a “Warhammer feel.” The game is a co-op first person shooter about surviving the apocalypse. The team was inspired by the Left 4 Dead series, and Vermintide has been compared to the series. The first Vermintide game, Warhammer: Endtimes – Vermintide was announced on February 5th, 2015 with a trailer that gained over 252,000 views (shown below). The game was released on Microsoft Windows on October 23rd of that year. The game sold over 500,000 copies.
In August of 2017, Fatshark announced Warhammer: Vermintide II.[2] On October 17th, 2017, the full trailer for the game was revealed (shown below).
The first Vermintide game was met with positive reception. The first game was named by PC Gamer as “The Best Game of PAX” in 2015. The game has a score of 79/100 on Metacritic.[3] Many critics praised the game for being true to Warhammer and employing good elements from Left 4 Dead. The second Warhammer gained a score of 80/100 on Metacritic.[4]
The game has a devoted subreddit[5] which has over 27,000 upvotes. The game also has 23,000 likes on Facebook.[6] There is also a sizable amount of fan art on Tumblr devoted to the game (examples shown below).

In a since-deleted tweet, Brandon Wardell appeared to corroborate the tweet, saying he’d known about it for a year and that Timmy Thick was a head writer at Harvard’s satirical newspaper, the Harvard Lampoon (shown below).

Self-Defense Geezer refers to a Japanese man interviewed on a Japanese morning television program who argued that one should not rely on the national pension to be financially stable but rather protect oneself by looking to stocks or leaving the country. The interview went viral on Japanese Twitter, as people compared the man to an anime or video game character.
The clip appears to have aired on Japanese television in March of 2018. On March 8th, the clip was uploaded to YouTube by user 革靴吐きたい, gaining over 693,000 views. One of the earliest known posts with the character on Twitter is dated March 7th.[1] In the clip, an anonymous man who is only identified as being 35 years of age offers his opinion on how to remain financially stable in Japan. The name “Self-Defense Geezer” comes from a translation of one of his opinions, saying that looking somewhere other than the national pension for financial security is a form of self defense.
The man’s highly-expressive demeanor in the clip inspired Japanese Twitter users to compare him to characters from pop culture, such as the television show Kamen Raider. For example, Twitter user @Amatu20101201 created a photoshop of the man as a character from the show that gained 20 retweets and 31 likes (shown below, left). Twitter user @kaerusanondwuru did something similar, gaining over 30 retweets and 110 likes (shown below, right).
Twitter user @rumiya0172 compared the man to a character from Final Fantasy XV (shown below, left). The Twitter account for Final Fantasy Japan got in on the joke by tweeting the character Ardin saying lines from the original clip, gaining over 36,000 retweets and 45,000 likes (shown below, right). On March 19th, Kotaku[2] covered the spread of the character on Twitter.

You Can Stop Worrying About Grenades Now is a quote from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege said by the Jäger character who can intercept live grenades and defend characters with anti-detonation devices. The ubiquity of the catchphrase led to it being referenced in memes in the Rainbow Six Siege fandom.
Rainbow Six Siege was released on December 1st, 2015.[1] During the game, when the Jäger character deploys anti-detonation devices, he sometimes says the line “You can stop worrying about grenades now.”
Shortly after the game’s release, fans began noticing the line and spoofing it. A video posted on January 27th, 2016 showed off the character saying the line repeatedly after deploying anti-detonation devices (shown below, left). On August 1st, a video posted by GageB showed the character saying the line right before a grenade goes off, gaining over 5,500 views (shown below, right).
In addition to videos making fun of the line, images posted in which a Jäger glitch was employed and an excess of anti-grenade devices were shown in the game were posted with the line as the title, gaining over 700 upvotes. Such a post was made on /r/Rainbow6 on December 5th, 2016 (shown below, left). A similar post to the same subreddit from July 1st, 2017 gained over 500 upvotes (shown below, right).

Cambridge Analytica Facebook Controversy refers to an ongoing accusation that the data miniing and analysis firm Cambridge Analytica harvest information from more than 50 million Facebook profiles without the permission of the users. The company used this information to build software that could predict and influence the political opinions in favor of then-presidential nominee Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential election.
On December 15th, 2017, the Wall Street Journal[3] reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller requested that Cambridge Analytica turn over documents connect to President Donald Trump’s campaign in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
On March 17th, 2018, in a series of interviews with The New York Times, the Observe and the Guardian, former employee and whistleblower Christopher Wylie said that using money from Republican and Trump donor Robert Mercer and former White House advisor Steve Bannon, the data mining firm Camridge Analytica harvested private infomration from more than 50 million Facebook users without their permission.[1][2]
The Times report that in 2014, while working for Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL), the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, Wylie found that researchers at Cambridge University’s Psychometrics Centre developed a way to map personality traits based on what users liked on Facebook. They continued:
" The researchers paid users small sums to take a personality quiz and download an app, which would scrape some private information from their profiles and those of their friends, activity that Facebook permitted at the time. The approach, the scientists said, could reveal more about a person than their parents or romantic partners knew -- a claim that has been disputed."
However, when the University refused to work with the firm, Wylie enlisted Dr. Aleksandr Kogan, a Russian-American academic, to build his own version of the technique, pulling more than 50 million users information without their permission. Of those users, Dr. Kogan could build “psychographic profiles” of about 30 million users, while only about 270,000 who participated had given consent. They wuld then use that informaiton to build specific digital advertisements on Facebook.
According to Wylie, once users sign up for the app, they participate in quiz that helps build the profile. He said, “It’s sort of like the digital shadow of yourself. So, when you think about what you do on social media, you curate your identity, so when you like things, when you follow things, you reveal all these little clues and if we have enough of those clues, we can start to develop a portrait of who you are.”
After the activity was discovered by Facebook in 2015, the social media company was told that the information was destroyed.
On March 16th, 2018,m Facebook announced that they would be suspending Startegic Communication Laboratoris (SCL), who owns Cambridge Analytica from the platform. They wrote in a statement:[4]
Kogan requested and gained access to information from people after they chose to download his app. His app, “thisisyourdigitallife,” offered a personality prediction, and billed itself on Facebook as “a research app used by psychologists.” Approximately 270,000 people downloaded the app. In so doing, they gave their consent for Kogan to access information such as the city they set on their profile, or content they had liked, as well as more limited information about friends who had their privacy settings set to allow it.
Although Kogan gained access to this information in a legitimate way and through the proper channels that governed all developers on Facebook at that time, he did not subsequently abide by our rules. By passing information on to a third party, including SCL/Cambridge Analytica and Christopher Wylie of Eunoia Technologies, he violated our platform policies. When we learned of this violation in 2015, we removed his app from Facebook and demanded certifications from Kogan and all parties he had given data to that the information had been destroyed.
On March 19th, 2018, Channel 4 News in Britain aired a hidden camera interview with Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix speaking to a “perspective client” who was actually a Channel 4 reporter. During the courrse of the interivew, he discusses that the company has used bribes, false credentials and sex workers to land campaigns.
“Many of our clients don’t want to be seen to be working with a foreign company,” Nix told the reporter. “We can set up fake IDs and websites, we can be students doing research projects attached to a university, we can be tourists. There’s so many options we can look at.”
He also said that “They will offer a large amount of money to the candidate, to finance his campaign in exchange for land for instance. We’ll have the whole thing recorded on cameras.”
Additionally, he said the firm could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house -- we have lots of history of things[…]I’m just saying, we could bring some Ukrainians in on holiday with us you know. You know what I’m saying.”[5]
In a statement made on March 19th, Cambridge Anayltica[10] said:
“Cambridge Analytica strongly denies the claims recently made by the New York Times, the Guardian and Channel 4 News.
The company’s detailed responses to their questions ahead of publication were largely ignored in their subsequent reporting. Their source is a former contractor for Cambridge Analytica – not a founder as has been claimed – who left in 2014 and is misrepresenting himself and the company throughout his comments.
In 2014 we received Facebook data and derivatives of Facebook data from another company, GSR, that we engaged in good faith to legally supply data for research. After it subsequently became known that GSR had broken its contract with Cambridge Analytica because it had not adhered to data protection regulation, Cambridge Analytica deleted all the Facebook data and derivatives, in cooperation with Facebook.
This Facebook data was not used by Cambridge Analytica as part of the services it provided to the Donald Trump presidential campaign; personality targeted advertising was not carried out for this client either. The company has made this clear since 2016."
Following the hidden camera interview, Alexander Nix said:[11]
“In playing along with this line of conversation, and partly to spare our ‘client’ from embarrassment, we entertained a series of ludicrous hypothetical scenarios. I am aware how this looks, but it is simply not the case. I must emphatically state that Cambridge Analytica does not condone or engage in entrapment, bribes or so-called ‘honeytraps’, and nor does it use untrue material for any purpose.
“I deeply regret my role in the meeting and I have already apologised to staff. I should have recognised where the prospective client was taking our conversations and ended the relationship sooner.”
In addition to reports by the Times and the Guardian, virtually all major media outlets covered the story, including CBS,[6]NBC,[7] Gizmodo,[8]ABC[9] and more.

I Need a Doctor is a meme based on the rap of the same name performed by American performers Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Skylar Grey. The meme primarily works as a placing of the song in animations of characters bleeding out or dying.
The song was originally released on February 1, 2011 through Aftermath Entertainment, Dr. Dre’s label. The song focuses on the close friendship between Dre and Slim Shady and how they got each other’s backs. Reaction to the song was generally positive, and it hit #4 at the Billboard charts at the time as well. The music video for the song was released on February 24 of that year. It currently sits at over 300 million views as of 2018.
The earliest examples of the meme date back to April 2011. The first of these is by animator SheWolfInTheCity and depicted a dog character getting gored graphically. This video currently sits at over 100 thousand views.
Soon, more versions continued to spread from a variety of animators. Gimmicks include treating their characters to either harmless injuries or worse fates.

Ōkami (Translated to “great god” or “wolf” in English) is a Japanese video game developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom in 2006. It is an action-adventure game directed by Hideki Kamiya, director of the Bayonetta and Devil May Cry series. The game is known for its tradition Japanese watercolor art style, its story based on the Shinto religion, and unique gameplay involving “celestial brush” techniques.
Ōkami and its sequel Ōkamiden are loosely based on the Shinto religion. In Ōkami the player assumes control of the Shinto sun goddess, Amaterasu, and explores the land of Nippon, a fictionalized version of Japan. Gameplay in Ōkami is a mixture of action, platforming, and puzzle solving which allows Amaterasu (or Chibiterasu in Ōkamiden) to travel to various regions in Nippon.
Ōkami’s staple gameplay mechanic is “Celestial Brush” Techniques, inspired by the traditional watercolor painting that was common in Japan throughout its history. When the player used the Celestial Brush, the game would pause and allow the player to draw on the screen using their controller (the method of drawing was changed with each platform). This feature could be used for combat, puzzles, and general gameplay, allowing for a unique and versatile experience. Throughout the game, Amaterasu could learn new Brush techniques such as “Sunrise”, “Power Slash”, “Cherry Bomb”, and “Catwalk”. Each brush technique could be used for specific situations or general use.
On September of 2010 in Japan, Capcom would publish a direct sequel called Ōkamiden for the Nintendo DS. The game would release worldwide in March of 2011. Much like the first game, Ōkamiden has the player travel through Nippon, but, instead of playing as Amaterasu, the player would take control of her son Chibiterasu. Gameplay was similar to the original Ōkami with emphasis on the Celestial Brush mechanics to allow players to interact with the game world.
Ōkami’s reception has been well-received by game reviewers and players. It received a Metacritic score of 93[1]. Ōkamiden would receive positive reception as well, but with much lower ratings than the original. The Metacritic score for Ōkamiden would be an 82.[2]
Ōkami and Ōkamiden share a passionate fandom, largely overlapping with other fandoms, such as Legend of Zelda. It has also gained a large following within the Furry fandom.
