‘The Internets’ Album Cover Sums Up Friday, Rick Rolling, And Every Beloved Internet Meme

Joey Spiotto‘s always-clever faux-album cover brings together Rebecca Black, lemonparty, and Pedobear, and is still somehow SFW. More »

Art Crush: Internet Memes Reimagined As Minimalist Movie Posters

London-based designer Stefan Van Zoggel recreates Nyan Cat, Leave Britney Alone, and other memes as movie posters with a few carefully-selected details that still manage to communicate the memes to the people who’ve laughed (or puked) with them. More »

Video: Know Your Meme Compiles The Best Memes Of 2011

Know Your Meme reminds us that 2011 was the year of planking, Rebecca Black/”Friday,” and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Just think that this time last year, we didn’t know what any of these things were… How empty our lives were! More »

Video: Nyan Cat Visits Montreal

Nyan Cat, which may have become our non-human mascot considering how much we write about it (him?), took advantage of the holiday weekend to fly through Montreal. It’s cool to see the Internet meme zipping over busy freeways and artists’ festivals in the greater Quebec area. It’s only too bad that the Canadians are moving too fast to appreciate Nyan Cat’s cuteness. More »

Nyan Cat Has a Nemesis: Waffle Cat!

I know, you thought that no one could hate the adorable Internet meme Nyan Cat. (How could they not? It combines felines, Pop Tarts, and high-pitched Japanese pop songs.) But we found an amazing piece of geek art: A pretend vintage Nintendo game where you play as Nyan Cat and fend off your nemesis Tac Nayn, a black cat attached to a waffle and powered by evil instead of rainbows.

Why Do I Love “Can’t Hug Every Cat” But Not “Last Friday Night” If They Share the Same Bass Line?

As promised, “Can’t Hug Every Cat” — The Gregory Brothers‘ auto-tuned version of the eHarmony cat girl’s rant — has become de rigueur in the Crushable office; I’ve also shared it with my sister, my boyfriend, and anyone near a computer. But what makes it so addictive? Probably the same thing that makes it sound so familiar. More »

Downloads Are Now Fun Thanks to the Nyan Cat Slider Bar

Right before the original Nyan Cat video disappeared from YouTube, the site set up an adorable feature where instead of a normal slider bar showing your progress, you had a mini Nyan Cat shimmying along. When YouTube pulled the video for copyright claims, I thought we’d never get to see that pint-sized adorableness again.

Enter Ben Stone, who created a program for Windows 7 called Instant Elevator Music to create a little Muzak soundtrack for downloads — then went the extra mile by adding in a Nyan track and the slider bar. I think I’m in love. More »

I Have a New Favorite Cat, and It’s Not Even Real — Meet Nyanpire

You guys, I know that yesterday Liana introduced you to the adorable kitten who darts around two apples like it’s Source Code and she’s Jake Gyllenhaal defusing the bomb — but I have another precious cat for you. The only problem is, you can never meet her in real-life because a) he’s animated, and b) she’s a vampire. Her name is Nyanpire. More »

The eHarmony Cat Lover Sings with Nyan Cat in “Can’t Hug Every Cat”

It’s Friday. Maybe you were gonna crank Rebecca Black to get you closer to the weekend. And while we at Crushable advocate weekly (daily) “Friday” dance parties, there’s always room in our repertoire for an equally absurd song. Remember Debbie, the very emotional woman whose video ad for eHarmony devolved into blubbering praise of felines? I’m still convinced it’s fake, but when The Gregory Brothers autotuned and backed it up with a cat band, its brilliance is tripled. It just makes me so –

[sniff] I’m sorry, I’m thinking about cats again. More »

If You Stay on Nyan Cat Long Enough, You Unlock Karaoke Mode

Redditor BlueMaxima shared this Nyan Cat Easter egg with the board a few days ago: Assault your eardrums with endless Nyan Cat, and you will be rewarded with a karaoke mode. According to his tally, it takes almost 3,000 seconds, which is close to 50 minutes. It’s just as well; it took me about that long to get the melody down. More »

Nyan Cat Celebrates the Fourth of July

If there’s something more patriotic than an American Flag draped on an internet meme, I don’t know what it is. Happy Fourth of July, Americ-NYAN Cat! More »

Video: Nyan Cat, Bollywood Style

Some smartie mashed up our beloved Nyan Cat loop with a Bollywood movie — and wouldn’t you know it, but the moves match up amazingly well to the nonstop, uber-cheerful tune. To quote YouTube commenter Thyire: “From this day forward, this is the only way I shall now dance to Nyan Cat.” More »

YouTube Removes Nyan Cat Video, But Not Before Including a Cute Nyan Cat Slider Bar

Thank God I snapped this screenshot yesterday, because YouTube has pulled the original Nyan Cat video! Just like with Rebecca Black‘s “Friday” video, this came out of nowhere. People thought that it was prguitarman, creator of the original Pop-Tart Cat that was then mixed with a high-pitched Japanese pop song to create this amazing meme. But prguitarman has vehemently denied that he filed the copyright claim, in the best way he knows how: through an illustration. More »
