3. Behold, Potato Jesus! A Joke Only an Art School Grad Could Love!
Ecce Homo (Behold Man) is a fairly straightforward
fresco of Jesus by the Spanish painter Elias Garcia
Martinez. Residing in the Sanctuary of the Mercy
Church in Boria, Zaragoza, the painting rose to
fame in 2012 when Cecilia Giménez, an 85 year-
old local “artist”, painted over the fresco in an
attempt to restore it.
Renamed Ecce Mono (Behold Monkey), Potato
Jesus, Dum Dum Jesus, and Beast Jesus it became
an overnight meme sensation with hundreds of
BAD photoshop spoofs littering the web.
This site by BBH London allowed people to
“restore” the fresco, promote it via Pinterest &
Twitter, and compete for prizes. The results are
awful. And hilarious. http://www.ceciliaprize.com/

10. Gangnam Style - K Hop Invades America
10

11. 214,000,000 YouTube Hits and Counting
Gangnam Style is K-hop dance song by the
Korean artist PSY. The song is from PSY’s
sixth studio album PSY 6 (Six Rules) and the
video was released on July 15th, 2012.
“Gangnam Style” refers to the posh, trend
setting district of Seoul and is vaguely
comparable to the English slang words
“swag” and “yolo”.
Besides being catchy as hell, the video is
well known for PSY’s (now) signature
“horse-riding dance” and the “yoga butt”
scene. Essentially Psy is caricaturing elite
culture by singing about what a classy girl
he wants while acting like a
buffoon, contrasting reality and image.

16. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child - Breakaway TLC Hit
Honey Boo Boo Child is a Toddlers and Tiaras
(and Extreme Couponing) spin-off show
featuring seven year old beauty queen Alana
“Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and her family.
The show revolves around beauty pageants,
“Go Go Juice”, fat jokes, teen pregnancy jokes,
fart jokes, redneck jokes, a gay pet pig, and
the novelty of a seven year old child talking
like a black drag queen.
Official reviews have been mixed, calling it
everything from a horror show to exploitation
to dehumanizing to a car crash. However, the
internet really, really likes Honey Boo Boo
Child clips and GIFS.
