The 'Joker' Sequel Trailer, 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 jokes about America's earthquake and solar eclipse, reactions to the "Joker" sequel trailer and absurd new meme about one particular amino acid.
4. Solar eclipse
The Meme
Unless you live under a rock, or were hiding in a doomsday bunker, you'll have seen widespread coverage of the much-anticipated solar eclipse that crossed North America on April 8.
We gathered together some of the best eclipse memes here earlier this week, but we'd be remiss not to include a few of them in our weekly roundup.

3. Glycine
The Meme
If youβve been on TikTok in the last week, there's a very high likelihood that you've heard about Donghua Jinlong and their high-quality, industrial-grade glycine. Why? The Chinese manufacturer decided to slap some text-to-speech over B-roll footage and promote their high-energy ads for the amino acid to end-users who are only there to watch funny animals, makeup tutorials and dance routines.
The demographic mismatch here is ripe for some good-natured ribbing, and TikTokers wasted no time in doing so.
Examples

2. East Coast earthquake
The Meme
If you live in the tri-state area, you're probably aware that there was a 4.8-magnitude earthquake in New Jersey on Friday, with aftershocks felt across New York and beyond.
As with every other major news event that has occurred in recent history, people online reacted to the East Coast's strongest earthquake since 1884 with memes and jokes.

1. 'Joker 2'
The Meme
The trailer for "Joker: Folie Γ Deux" came out this week, and it has everything you'd want in a sequel to the more than divisive original; Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, song and dance numbers and lots of gorgeous cinematography.
But, as we all know, the first "Joker" movie was memed to death β so it's only natural that this new one is heavily mocked and parodied, too.
