Cerveza Cristal Product Placement, And This Week's Other Best Memes, Ranked
Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got alternative national anthems, people using the Voice and beer ads inserted seamlessly into classic movies.
3. The national anthem
The Meme
X has many terrible people with awful takes, but sometimes there's a nice little goof, like this one from Swifties. Recently, a die-hard Taylor Swift fan posted "What are the first five words of the National Anthem?" with a picture of Tay-Tay herself, in the hopes of getting some Swift lyrics. However, it was memed so hard that other professional musicians got involved, too.

2. 'Use the Voice'
The Meme
The internet has been awash with "Dune" memes since the sequel came out β we rounded up some of the best ones here β but this one focuses on a particular moment from the first movie.
In "Dune: Part One," there's a scene where Rebecca Ferguson's character, Lady Jessica, encourages Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) to use the Voice, which allows him to manipulate people using the power of his mind. Following the release of "Dune: Part Two," the "use the Voice" line has been memed to death, and fans replaced Paul with other characters with distinctive voices.

1. Cerveza Cristal
The Meme
On X, a video recently resurfaced that showed how Chilean TV once inserted beer commercials directly into the "Star Wars" movies broadcast in the country, rather than using ad breaks. These placements were not in any way subtle; one clip literally shows Obi-Wan taking a bottle of Cerveza Cristal out of a cooler, while the brand name is sung over the top.
The videos went viral, and inspired X users to insert Cerveza Cristal into scenes from "Star Wars" and other iconic films.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes,", which featured reactions to Wendy's surge pricing, sad hamster TikToks, rumors about Princess Kate's whereabouts and a failed Willy Wonka event that defies explanation.
