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 some wild (and not real) sketches from SBF's trial, this year's kids' candy warnings and some infuriatingly good Halloween costumes.


3. Sam Bankman-Fried courtroom sketch

The Meme

Sam Bankman-Fried is on trial, accused of fraud during his time running the now-extinct FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Folks online took this opportunity to be a little silly with the court sketches — making him seem like some sort of chiseled god with anime hair. It doesn’t matter if the sketch is real; it’s hilarious regardless.

2. Halloween candy

The Meme

In a week just like this one, a year ago, this exact meme trended on Twitter. The extremely frightening, "hey parents, please be careful what is inside of your kids' candy" joke has come back to haunt us yet again, but this time it's only half as funny as it was in 2022. Eek!

The '80s, '90s and '00s had plenty of paranoid and gullible adults believing razor blades and drugs were being shoved into food and distributed to children during the holiday season. News reports would run with clips of candy going through x-ray machines, even though no one ever actually found proof this was a real thing that happened. Just like how D&D never turned kids into satanists.

1. Gay Halloween

The Meme

In case you didn't know, it was Halloween on Tuesday — and while there were a lot of great costumes on show, no one will ever outdo one particular group of dressers-up. One of the most popular memes this week revolved around "gay Halloween," celebrating — with faux snideness — the incredibly dedicated, mind-bogglingly niche costumes that gay people make each year.
