'from mr. steal your data to mr. steal your girl'
The Asylum Where They Raised Me, And This Week's Other Best Memes, Ranked
Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got people and animals dancing to a Chappell Roan song, "Shōgun" memes, reactions to a fake photo of Mark Zuckerberg and creative responses to a Taylor Swift lyric.
4. 'HOT TO GO!'
The Meme
Last year, Chappell Roan released the cheerleading-themed pop anthem "HOT TO GO!" to a warm response, but her fame has grown massively in recent months as she's played alongside Olivia Rodrigo on the "Guts" tour. As such, people are just now making a wholesome meme with this banger as they "teach" animals, babies and inanimate objects the "Hot To Go" dance.

3. 'Anjin is upset'
The Meme
FX's series "Shōgun" came to an end this week, bringing the stories of Lord Toranaga, John Blackthorne and Toda Mariko to an end. The series got rave reviews and was praised for its multi-lingual approach. The use of translation was also the basis of a recent joke, "Anjin is upset." The Anjin Blackthorne's words are translated by Mariko, who often uses her own discretion when conveying his emotions in the message. From fonts to Macbooks, the jokes emphasized how Mariko's job would be in this day and age.
Examples
Blackthorne: You tell him that despite being called “Endless Shrimp” it does in fact have a limit. The dogs and charlatans at Red Lobster have created a lie and I intend to speak my mind about it. There needs to be accountability!

blackthorne: you tell him that adding 8GB of RAM to a macbook cannot possibly justify a $200 price increase. the charlatans and dogs at apple fabricated a ridiculous scam and i intend to speak my mind. without accountability, there is chaos!

Blackthorne: You tell him that this lettering is a font I know as “Arial”. The shit-eating dogs of Microsoft made a atrocity to man and God in this plagiarism of the venerable Helvetica—a fraud and a lie, and he must know it!

Blackthorne: Arteta needs to fucking go, this loss is a disgrace! We would have won if we had Emery, so sick of 5’9” Raya and Partey is 10x better than Rice! No Gnabry, no Davies, no excuses!

Mariko: The Anjin is upset Arteta did not win the Champions League on his first try. pic.twitter.com/SQZEWS1g9Y
Blackthorn: Hold on hold on hold on. Her sister was a witch right? And what was her sister? A princess, the wicked witch of the east bro. You're gonna look at me and you're gonna tell me that I'm wrong?

Blackthorne: I mean there are 10 Saw movies. Hell, there’s like three Big Fat Greek Weddings and a million Final Destinations, it just seems unacceptable that a movie that made its money back and beloved doesn’t have a sequel

2. Bearded Zuck
The Meme
Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared an Instagram video in which he discussed the latest AI venture the company is sinking billions of dollars into. Then, for some ungodly reason, someone decided to photoshop a tan and facial hair onto the already chain-wearing Zuckerberg, and people — not all of whom realized it was a doctored image — decided to have some fun with it.

1. The asylum where they raised me
The Meme
When Taylor Alison Swift said "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" in "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?," a song from her latest album, I don't think she realized she was creating a meme.
The "Tortured Poets Department's" lyrics are by far the biggest talking (or sticking) point of the album among, both, fans and online normies, and people are taking particular pleasure in making fun of the "asylum" line. Lyric memes have never been hotter, so thank you T-Swizzle, and all of your bad ex-boyfriends.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes,", which featured reactions to OJ Simpson's death, a new Tiger Woods meme, jokes about Grimes's disastrous Coachella performance and an enjoyable "Dune 2" set photo.
