Pedrinho's song that needs to wake up early, because there's a championship knocking on the door, started going viral on TikTok. Shortly thereafter, the meme burst the network bubble, reaching other platforms and making the song a huge success. The song is by the band Jovem Dionísio.
This is another one that started in the TikTok, when a user of the social network questioned who had stolen the chickens in a KFC franchise. In the picture, there were three white men and a black baby.
One of the white men has the chickens in his hand, but the baby is accused of stealing the food. The meme is a critique of structural racism in society.
Those who watched the anime Dragon Ball know what it is about, but many people did not understand the reference. This ended up becoming one of the most searched memes of 2022. It all started when influencer Júnior Caldeirão made a satire of Japanese cartoons. The phrase ended up being remixed on several songs.
Fans rescued a photo of actor Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, wearing high jeans, a turtleneck sweater and a chain around his neck. The image appears to be from the 1980s or 1990s. This year, he reproduced the photo, wearing the same clothes in a very similar location. The internet has gone wild!
The sixth most searched meme of 2022 was Little Red from Mars. The influencer, whose real name is Anny Bertagin, drew attention on TikTok with her red hair with lemon yellow streaks and her awkward little dances. The young woman also participated in the reality show A Fazenda this year.
This year started with everything, didn't it? Who doesn't remember the slap that Will Smith gave Chris Rock at the ceremony oscar? The actor's attitude earned him a fair skirt, but also gave life to several memes for social networks in the following months.
What do these two subjects have to do with each other? We explain! Mia Khalifa is a former American adult film actress, who had her image used in fake news and was cited by Senator Carlos Heinze (PP-RS) during the Covid-19 CPI. This was the trigger for an explosion of memes to take over social media in 2022.
Mia herself shared one of the images on her Twitter profile.
Lula (PT) won the presidential elections and was also one of the most searched memes on Google this year. The options are simple: most are photos of the PT candidate with a few phrases like “sextou” or “the father is on”.
You've definitely seen him around, you just didn't know his name. Appearing in 2012, the Florks are drawings with simple strokes. Something close to a cylinder is the body while strokes are its arms. The easy manipulation of these characters made them one of the biggest hits of 2022.
There was no escaping this sentence in 2022. “Let's go, Bill” was everywhere, among all conversation circles and especially on all social networks. The phrase originated in a video in which a man, the famous Bill, is watching a soccer game in Ceará. The unusual provocations drew good laughs from people.

There's no way to talk about this year's memes without mentioning her: the Choquei! Gretchen is the queen of the internet. There's no debating that, but the limits of using the “butt queen” image have crossed all boundaries.
The joke started when Shocked, a gossip page on social networks, gave the first-hand news about the beginning of the war between Ukraine and Russia in February.
Faced with the unusual situation, given that larger vehicles such as Folha and UOL were not responsible for this “news scoop”, internet users joked that the page could only have one correspondent International.
And who was standing by to fill this post? Herself: Gretchen!
