Charlotte Gainsbourg's crazy new video features Beck and a bunch of images that may be familiar if you read the internet. (The director cited reddit and ffffound as his inspirations, so really, put your weird geek hat on.)
In case you didn't get enough yesterday, there's now an entire Tumblr devoted to your Kanye-interrupting meme needs. Related: The Kanye Interrupting Patrick Swayze (definitely not too soon).
The Craig David-Bill Murray mashup you thought you'd never see, but are so happy you did.

CNN did a piece on the whole Crasher Squirrel phenomenon and talks about BuzzFeed! What do y'all think of the CNN coverage???
Barney Frank: “Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it.” [Editor's Note: The Internet works fast! Watch this for context. Then watch it again - it's that good.]
Culture Buzz This is kind of a NYC-only post (sorry, deal), but apparently, there is a meme musical at this year's Fringe Festival. It is called I Can Has Cheezburger: The MusicLOL, and it will surely be better than the Jem and the Holograms show I saw at Fringe last year. Maybe they will even set cats loose in the audience.
When fruit filling resembles rectal membrane, you know you're done with shortbread cookies 4eva! For the record, that's the first time in almost two years that I've included “rectal membrane” in a Buzzfeed post, so, yeah, you could say I'm a pioneer.
Everyone's chain mail-forwarding family members are searching for pictures of the Human Dog hybrid this morning. It's a sculpture called “The Young Family” by Patricia Piccinini, and is her depiction of what a hu-dog would look like with combined DNA. The real-life scientific hu-dog sample died in a North Korean prison camp years ago. Wait, what?
The Know Your Meme crew provide a highly scientific explanation of the mysterious origins of the 3 Wolf Moon meme. Watch this at your own risk. The Three Wolf Moon meme is not for the faint of heart.
So Jill and Kevin's marriage, much like their wedding dance, peaked a little early. Please now enjoy their divorce proceedings. (No, this is obviously not real, you can keep clinging to your dance party wedding fantasies if you want to.)

Really? People still reference Hamster Dance? On the other hand, I probably quote Yo Dawg daily.
Here is an incredibly bizarre video that features Mariah's music, Mary J.'s silly faces, still photos, memes, prison, pro-wrestling, and local news bloopers. And weed. After this nightmare, we're pretty much guaranteed Mary will never again reconsider smoking crack.
Here's the awesomeness…a Three Keyboard Cat Moon t-shirt!!! Go vote at Threadless so we can help make this meme explosion a reality.
The newest movie meme to collectively inspire and offend comes from adaptations of Oscar-nominated film 'Downfall' and a scene which shows Hitler responding to news of advancing armies… orrrrr the delay of the Harry Potter movie/Michael Jackson's death. Clever subtitles make it all possible. Do I even dare suggest you make your own?
TV Buzz Green Day pulled a Keyboard Cat on The Colbert Report, and it was glorious. Billie Joe Armstrong has made it official: Keyboard Cat is anything but dead (yet).
Culture Buzz Everybody's favorite bear makes his theatrical debut! Which meme should get a movie next? Comment within.
Andy over at waxy.org has left only the backgrounds of famous memes. This I think falls into an exciting meme trend I have noticed lately,…”memes on memes”. Or maybe “meme mash-ups?”. The Keyboard cat also comes to mind as another example of a double meme.
From Andy Baio: Stills from famous internet memes, sans their subjects. It's like Garfield Minus Garfield for the web heads. Can you name them all?
