THE best meme of 2016 - and let's be real, probably any year - should be the one that was born from people arguing about dogs on the Internet. The one where, in the end, everybody won.
The meme I'm talking about is "They're good dogs, Brent", which first gained popularity in September. It never became as notorious as Pepe or as popular as Damn, Daniel, but as an important meme, it deserves to be considered among them.
