Gian hain aap
A clip of Indian man Mohammad Aadil Khan, being interviewed by digital media outlet ‘Bhaiyaji Gazab’, went viral earlier this year when he mocked a man, on his resemblance with Gian. “Shakal dekhi hai kabhi tane? Gian! Gian hain aap,” became an ultimate insult soon after.
Brother ugh
From an hour-long lecture by Mohamed Hoblos, originally uploaded on YouTube back in 2019, a few-second clip captured the attention of social users this year, becoming one of the most viral meme templates of 2024.
Bado Badi
A topper on music charts or not, but British Pakistani singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s version of Malika–e–Tarannum Noor Jehan’s iconic ‘Bado badi’, and its music video featuring vlogger Wajdan Rao Ranghar, were sure to reign the Instagram reels and memes list of the year.
Aha tamatar
A cat’s animated video of children’s rhyme ‘Aha tamatar bade mazedaar’ went viral this year after social users started to put the audio on their Instagram posts and someone edited K-Pop sensation BTS dancing to its tune.

Chin tapak dam dam
This catchphrase of the villainous Takia, from the kids-favourite cartoon ‘Chhota Bheem’, has to be one of the most viral memes of this year, with netizens using it abundantly for a light-hearted depiction of their antics to navigate through simple everyday challenges.
Chill guy
An animated visual of a brown dog, dressed in a specific sweater, jeans, and sneakers, and with a smirk on its face, took social media by storm when it was first introduced by Phillip Banks in October. Internet’s ultimate depiction of an unbothered, assertive guy, with nothing but ‘chill vibes’ was quick to become a staple in all, from workplace to relationship memes.
Ek machhali paani mein gayi, chappak
This viral social media game, first introduced by Maan Tomar, soon became a favourite to be recreated by all, from content creators to social users. It followed the catchy phrase, “Ek machhli paani mein gayi, chhappak,” with the assigned actions, and any mistake in the sequence can result in elimination from the group challenge.
Juice Pila do
Originally spoken by influencer Deepak Kalal, it gained traction when Nakul Dhul aka Mithu Don hilariously used the line, “Juice pila do mausambi ka, aaj mood kharab hai,” sparking the meme fest.
Very demure, very mindful
Tiktoker Jools Lebron’s workplace makeup look and the phrase ‘Very demure, very mindful’ was the highlight of the 2024 memes chart, for its satirical depiction of ‘pick-me girls’, against the textbook definition of the words used in the video.
