No hate to the enduring importance and range of emoticons, but the world of emoji is one of the most pleasing additions to the virtual keyboard since the smartphone was invented. It won't be long before there is one of these little pictures for just about every situation. Even the ones that they're currently lacking can be put across with the right combination.

Forget Esperanto, it's these tiny works of art that are the real universal language (give or take the cultural differences in usage). Eye catching and important to online communication as they are, it's no wonder they frequently crop up in memes as well. They can express so many different things, it would be a crying shame to leave them out of the basis of internet humor. As such, we've collected a few images that bring together emojis and memes below. We're leaving the emojipasta out of it, this time round.
