Where were you when “The Dress” started trending?

In 2015, social media dominated our lives like never before. From #blacklivesmatter to the presidential race – we were fixed to our Twitter feeds and timelines, waiting for the next big trend. But it wasn’t all doom, gloom and racial appropriation (here’s to you – Rachel Dolezal). Here are the year’s funniest social media moments:

1. 1. #LeftShark

   

   Katy Perry’s 2015 candy-coated Superbowl halftime performance was definitely one of the best in recent years – but she didn’t end up being the MVP of her own show. During “Teenage Dream,” Perry was flanked by two dancing sharks. Left Shark just couldn’t keep up with the dance routine – and an Internet star was born.

2. 2. #HotlineBling

   

   Left Shark wasn’t the only viral dancer in 2015.

   Drake has been meme fodder for years. But his music video for “Hotline Bling” was a truly a gift to the Internet.

3. 3. #PizzaRat

   

   New York’s biggest celebrity of 2015 wasn’t a Knicks player – or even Donald Trump. It was a rat who just wanted a slice of pizza.

4. 4. #LLamasOnTheLoose

   

   Productivity came screeching to a halt in offices across the U.S. as the Great Llama Chase of 2015 live stream lit up social media. According to Spreadfast, peak llama tweets during chase reached 3,084 per minute. The entire Twitterverse united to root for mankind to fail – and two llamas to win.

   While the llama drama was certainly one of the funniest social media moments of the year – it wasn’t even the most viral thing to happen that day.

5. 5. #TheDress

   

   Offices were in an uproar. Friends turned on friends. Families tore themselves apart – all over the color of The Dress. Whether you were team #blackandblue or #whiteandgold – you never saw colors the same again.
