In case you guys were unaware, today is Wednesday, my dudes. Which calls for a big old batch of memes about Wednesday, my dudes. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, we're referencing a near-ancient meme that became popular on Reddit, but originated on Tumblr. The meme features a Budgett's frog and the text "It is Wednesday my dudes."

My introduction to the meme came from the r/me_irl subreddit. On most days of the week, the subreddit was a hub of painfully relatable, self-deprecating memes. But on Wednesdays, the group would spam the page with meme after meme about the day of the week. As someone who looks for funny memes for a living, it was a bit frustrating to be denied access to that precious relatable content. But due to the incredibly exploitable nature of the meme, and its many, many variations, I started to have a soft spot for the time-honored tradition. And now it's time to share that soft spot with you.
