Stranger Things is finally over, and it gives us the chance to reflect on everything that the show has given us over the years. Think about where you were when the show premiered, way back in 2016. Literally 10 years ago. Your life likely looked a lot different than it does now. Maybe you were still in school, and now you're a full-fledged adult. Just like the Stranger Things kids themselves. Think about how much of a formative time that was for you, and for them. Perhaps you feel like you grew up beside them and have spent the last decade together, fighting Vecna and just trying to have a normal childhood in Hawkins, Indiana. It's a special thing to have in the culture. It's given us so many memes, so many songs back on the Billboard charts, and launched the careers of those who came from the show. Now it's over, and we can all move on. 

Except that we're going to look at memes about it. We will look at memes forever. You can't get away from a good meme, nor would you want to. Memes are what keep fandoms afloat. If we didn't have memes, would we even remember any of our favorite sci-fi franchises? Or would they fade away in memory, with nobody reminding us of them every time we open our internet browser? This is a question I hope we never answer. Because as long as Memebase is around, we will bring you sci-fi memes to look forward to every week.

  • These memes are equal parts holiday hangover and new year, new me. They honor and celebrate all of our favorite shows and movies, and give us a little lighthearted humor about all of them. If you're in need of that this time of year, then you're not alone. The winter is long and dark and we need a little boost to help the days go by a little faster. It's why we keep coming back to the meme list week after week. And this week is no exception. It may be the very beginning of the new year, but we're already hitting the ground running.

    Solo tenemos que hacer que las formas coincidan. Julian Cavalero Yesterday at 11:40 AM In Stranger Things (2025), the Duffer brothers pay tribute to one of the worst scenes in movie history by copying it almost exactly. This is a reference to the fact that the plot hasn't made any sense since the first season ended.
