We didn't have to travel too far into the depths of the internet to come up with the best memes for this week. Some current events outside the internet (gasp!) prompted some great memes. The second presidential debate in "town hall" style was especially inspirational. From the debate we got 'Binders Full of Women,' 'Menacing Josh Romney,' and more.
We couldn't have made a list of awesome GIFs from this week without including the cooler-than-you daredevil Felix Baumgartner. His amazing free-fall jump blew our minds, as did the GIFs commemorating it.
We're excited to show you here all the great memes of this week. Current event-wise, there's no way you could've missed the vice-presidential debate or, more importantly, the photoshopped vice presidential hair-swap
Oh rom-coms, the lighthearted romantic comedies that you'd never admit to your girlfriend that you really like. We all know the plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love but are kept apart due to some complicated circumstance. This awesome Tumblr RomCom2012 that we recently found has a new take on the typical rom-com: rom-com Romney.
We have some great GIFs for you here to sum up your week. Reaction to a big test you just took? We've got that. Frustration with the presidential debate? We've got that too. Got your heart broken so brutally that you're considering switching teams? That most likely didn't happen, but just in case we've got that for you anyway. It's been a good week.
It should come as no surprise that we have some great presidential debate memes for you this week. But we also have a lot more. We love cats, but some dog memes are always appreciated. And 'Sudden Clarity Clarence' has teamed up with 'The Office' to deliver some laughs as well.
We start off this week's assortment of GIFs with an adorable cartoon of what happens when Dad has to watch the kids while Mom is gone. Does this animation remind you of your family at all?
Video games are often praised for their life-like qualities -- the realistic graphics, the grabbing action, the way women are always wearing short shorts. (Er, scratch that last one.) These gamers, however, took it to the next level by literally bringing their favorite games to life. Check out some classic video games brought to life. Recreate these and you won't just feel like you're in the action, you will be in it.
We're excited to round up these awesome memes from this week. In particular, there were two really great new memes that gained just popularity on Reddit -- 'Priority Peter' and 'Misunderstood Girlfriend.'
