    I'm not gonna lie, most of the memes on the list I either wasn't aware of, or I never found funny. Some of the memes were kind of funny, but I'm more into homemade memes like the Craddock meme. :)

    Some of those were really funny and some I've only seen a couple times, but I think there's some better memes from 2019 that could've gone on that list.

    Original and homemade memes tend to be the best, in my opinion. As with David above, I wasn't really aware of most of the memes on the list.

    I've heard about around half of these and they give me a good chuckle, but I have to agree with David on this one, I prefer the memes like the Mr. Craddock ones we created. I personally have a very specific taste in memes so to full on laugh at one means good work has been done.
