Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week we're back, baby.

Welcome back from the holiday! Sometimes it's great to take a break from the internet. I didn't do that, but people always tell me how satisfying it feels to look into the eyes of their loved ones.

Anyway! This has been the week of the big cow (it's actually a steer) and Mark Ruffalo begging the internet to help him find his lost bag (he did), but the joke that truly proves we've all lost our damn minds is surgery on a grape. The 2017 line has, like so many online jokes, returned to be fruitful (lol) …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, we ponder what-ifs and perfect cheese tosses.

Once in a while, the internet delivers. The memes aren't just good and plenty, but timely. Clever. Disturbing in the best way. Sort of like with the Detective Pikachu trailer, which spun off its very own meme cycle. People, apparently, love creepy, realistic pokémon! I think y'all are crazy.

But I'm not here to argue about the merits of Jigglypuff, a balloon pokémon that is furry for some reason. Though Ryan Reynolds is voicing this cop, surely you've wondered what Pikach …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, I have been liberated by a meme.

Can I just say something real quick? People who yell at you to get off your phone and live in the moment are annoying. They're annoying! God, that feels good.

As someone who spends 85 percent of my life online professionally, I get it. Comparing our lives to others on Instagram makes us sad. Facebook is where all your old high school acquaintances show off how racist they are. Twitter is a hellmouth parading as a social media site. We spend all this time swiping and tapping and liking …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, we mourn the passing of Halloween. I know it's November! I don't care.

On most days, I'd agree with you that the internet ruins most things, but Halloween turns me into a dead-eyed devotee. Dressing up and eating free candy as a kid was cool and all, but as an adult, I love logging on to Twitter and Instagram to see what memes my friends have turned into clever costumes.

Now, I'm not saying this Slack costume is The Best thing I saw on Twitter this week, but it might just be the scariest. There's nothing I love more …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, Megan is at TwitchCon, so I'm blowing up her spot again by making this all about the dogs I like.

This one is sort of a flex, but Verge internet culture reporter Bijan Stephen gave us this very good boy struggling to get through this week, despite a mere mortal's limited grasp of reality.

I'm 99 percent certain that this video of Stella the dog (@dognamedstella on Instagram, though the video actu …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, we're rediscovering the art of Rickrolling. For good.

As we barrel into another election season, people are finding new ways to get readers riled up and registered to vote. No longer content to trumpet "VOTE" into the Twitter void ad nauseam, clever users have taken the call one step further.

On Twitter, Ashlee Marie Preston shared a link with the news that Kim Kardashian had finally decided to leave Kanye West. Rather than linking to a story about celebrity marriage, however, users were instead directed to a voter r …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday Saturday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, our usual correspondent Megan Farokhmanesh is on a much-needed vacation. Tech reporter Dami Lee and internet culture editor Devon Maloney will be stepping in to completely ruin what she's got going here, starting with arriving a day later than usual. Sorry, Megan.

If you're on Twitter and are a fan of Tessa Thompson, you may be familiar with @tessasgoats, the Twitter account that does exactly what it says on the label: pair photos of Thompson with photos of goats wearing similar outfits, hair colors, and the …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week IS A TEST. NO ACTION IS NEEDED.

On October 3rd, aka Mean Girls Day, the first FEMA Presidential Alert lit up phones across the US. Right on time! By that, I mean the memes. The memes were right on time.

The punchlines are pretty hit or miss, but what I love about this very predictable joke (if you text it, they will meme) is the unity, you know? We all got the text* so we all get the meme. How often does that happen? Usually, the teens do something funny to Kermit or SpongeBob, and we all sort of laugh and nod until w …

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, the internet asks: is this your queen?

When did the Super Mario fandom get so horny? Has it always been this way? Did everyone lose their damn minds when we saw Mario's nipples? I didn't start this fire. I'm just here to fan its flames.

Earlier this month, Nintendo held a Direct presentation where learned that Toadette can transform into a Princess Peach-like character (aptly named Peachette) when she wears the Super Crown. Webcomic author Haniwa applied this logic to Bowser, and so Bowsette was born.

Welcome to Fav'd For Later, a Friday roundup of our favorite memes, trends, and all-around good internet content. This week, we will definitely not talk about dicks and other things we cannot unsee.

The internet was abuzz this week with Dong Talk™. If you missed the flurry around Donald Trump and Toad - yes, that one - then consider yourself lucky. (Everyone else, please know I, too, am on the market for brain bleach. I will report back ASAP.)

Not to be outdone by the rest of 2018's baffling news cycle, DC jumped in with an unsolicited picture of Batman's dick. The full-frontal comes to us courtesy of Batman: Damned #1, the first in a new …
