Get all the best buzz on the go with BuzzFeed's new iPhone app, developed by Carrot Creative.
Get It Now ›Music Buzz With all due respect to Gil. “Please take off your shoes, because if you don't, your socks are going to wreck your shoes when they get knocked the f*ck off.”
Culture Buzz This seems like a dystopic future. Corporations be running the internet! This was created by Atom.
The Internet took the day off and went to the amusement park. Bonus Points to anyone who can name every meme.
Culture Buzz So it's Doppelganger Week on Facebook. It also looks like “Go to urbandictionary.com and find your name and post it” week. But we can do better. I hereby name this Sex Offender Criminal Name Week! Go to CriminalCheck.com, type your FIRST name where it says “Last Name(required),” and copy and paste the crime or charge of the FIRST entry for your name in the comments!
Culture Buzz “51 Things Found In My Room” is a YouTube video blogging meme that currently has over 7,000 video responses. The meme consists of video bloggers showing off their precious possessions to a webcam while quirky music plays in the background. And that's it.
Tech Buzz LukeyWes1234 is an uncharacteristically likable young YouTuber whose life was changed this week when 4chan decided to give him some more-or-less genuine encouragement. 15,000 subscribers and countless tribute videos later, and LukeyWes is a budding Internet superstar. Here's to your 15 minutes, Lukey Dub. UPDATE: After suspending his account, YouTube is about to feel the wrath of his 4chan supporters in the form of YouTube Porn Day! Good job, Internet.
Tech Buzz We've had some pretty good things this year! But what could the Internet have done without? Think of a 2009 trend, meme, viral video, or a person that you maybe could have had less of on the Internet this year, and post it here. Then we can fight about it!
Oh ho ho, you thought we were done with either of these? No. If you prefer your (underage) Lautner without memes, you can go ogle his Rolling Stone Cover here. I'm undecided.
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.
