It has been a week since Ariana Grande released “Thank u, next” and stole our hearts. If you haven’t heard it yet, please do. I’m not an Ari fan but this track is my guilty pleasure right now. Ever since this song took over the Internet, memes have been popping up left and right. First, it was because people misheard some lyrics, which birthed the Aubrey memes. Now, netizens and even brands are creating more. Some focus on the song’s title while others have been making ones with the lines, One taught me love / One taught me patience / One taught me love. We are living for these so keep reading to see our favorites so far.
When you’re on a binge-watching spree
When watching a new series non-stop, clicking the next button on Netflix is essential. They understand that and even made their own Thank u, next meme. Yes, I would like to continue to episode three.
For the beauty lovers
Benefit jumped on the bandwagon too by showing which beauty products taught us love, patience, and pain. We definitely love cheek tints and have learned the value of patience when applying on false lashes. When taking care of your brows, plucking had taught us what pain feels like.
Gossip Girl fans will know
Did you watch Gossip Girl religiously? Well, do you agree with these characters that supposedly taught girls about love, patience, and pain? Let us know if you’re team Dan, Nate, or Chuck.
When the game of Uno is too serious
If you thought Uno was a kids game, you were wrong. It can get pretty serious and grudges can form by just playing one round. One netizen even broke down the different cards related to Ari’s “Thank u, next.”
Throwing it back to Lizzie McGuire
Ari’s famous words can apply to Lizzie McGuire’s life too. I’m sure we’ve all had a Paolo in our life who taught us about pain but we’re better for it. Right, ladies?
For the love of dogs
I totally agree, Mac. Let’s just line the dogs up so we can pet all of them!
