About

Meme of the Month Calendars are photoshopped images of calendars in which every month is represented by a meme that trended during that month. They are shared in meme communities and can be subject to debate in those communities.

Origin

"Memes of the Month" began being documented in 2014 on Tumblr. At the end of the year, Popbuzz[1] wrote an article declaring a meme for every month of the year, starting with the Selfie Olympics. However, the template image for Meme of the Month calendars was not posted until 2016, when Tumblr user ceruleanazura[2] posted a calendar for the first half of 2016 on June 9th of that year. The post, shown below, gained over 116,000 notes over the next nine months.

Spread

The calendar was a quick hit on me_irl. Only five days after ceruleanazura's Tumblr post, me_irl user thoompa[3] uploaded a picture suggesting the calendar itself would be the meme of July 2016 and gained 5,400 upvotes (shown below).

ceruleanazura updated the picture in the coming months, declaring the Nut Button and Arthur's Fist the memes of July and August,[4] respectively. However, by this point, many joke variations had began appearing on me_irl and in other communities.

The calendar was particularly popular on /r/me_irl as a tool to document the various phases of the subreddit. During the Meme Renaissance of me_irl, people began making calendars to track the daily new memes.
