25 Memes Holding Out for a Hero

In the words of Bonnie Tyler, "Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the risin' odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight." If you're like me, you probably first heard that song in the incredible, near-perfect movie Shrek 2, sung by the fairy godmother who was voiced by Jennifer Saunders. And it stayed with you ever since. The chorus echoes in your mind, a plea for something… heroic to come along.

Heroes can take many shapes and forms. They can be the teacher who taught you how to read an analog clock. They can be your cat that saved you from a long spell of sadness. And they are memes that save you from boredom.

Which one of those three things do you think is here today? That's right, memes. Memes that make us laugh, memes that make us think, and memes that simply distract us from everything else that's going on in the world and in our lives. Which believe me is plenty.
