Speaker Mike Johnson And His Son's Weird Porn Agreement, 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 have "Genshin Impact" TikTok dances, reactions to the "Legend of Zelda" movie announcement, House speaker Mike Johnson's bizarre deal with his son and things people would rather do than trust men.
4. 'Genshin Impact' dance
The Meme
Wildly popular free-to-play game "Genshin Impact" has been the source of a number of memes, but this one is the funkiest by far. In the game, the way a character pronounces a certain proper noun has an undeniable rhythm, and people have started shakin' what their mamas gave 'em to it.
The phrase "Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale" probably doesn't mean anything to you, but if you've been scrolling through TikTok in the last week, you'll have seen some well-known folks get in on the fun.

3. Trust men or...
The Meme
The premise of this meme is quite simple: people are listing the various things they would rather do or be than put their trust in a man. Some examples show the alternative being easily achieved — usually as a way of praising a popular celebrity — while others show a desperate, largely unsuccessful attempt to accomplish the alternative to trusting men.

2. The 'Zelda' movie
The Meme
This week, video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto announced out of nowhere that Nintendo and Sony are teaming up to make a "Legend of Zelda" live-action movie. Just randomly did it on X, with no ramp up, in the middle of the night. The way the posts were framed were incredibly odd, as if Zelda's creator just hacked into a computer and took over the Nintendo X account to announce the news.
Not only did the initial post get memed, but so did potential casting for Link and Princess Zelda — and jokes were also made about infamous producer Avi Arad being attached to the project (let's just say he's helped make a lot of bad decisions and leave it at that).
Examples
This is Miyamoto. I have been working on the live-action film of Donkey Kong Country for many years now. I am trapped on an island off the coast of Africa. The monkeys have organised and killed half the crew. Please send help.

This is Miyamoto. I have been working on the Star Fox movie for many years now with Uwe Boll-san. Please look forward to it

i can't believe they're just randomly dropping the news that a live action zelda movie is in the works on a tuesday with no fanfare and the main name attached other than miyamoto is the producer of morbius https://t.co/QYbZmFlnFl

Simon Helberg is the natural choice for Beedle. If there was ever a perfectly correct casting for the Zelda movie, this would be it. https://t.co/KEBVKUjXVe pic.twitter.com/oAKSqbPUwq

1. Speaker Mike Johnson
The Meme
On November 5, Rolling Stone reported on a resurfaced clip in which newly elected House speaker Mike Johnson says that he and his teenage son monitor each other's porn intake using an "accountability software" called Covenant Eyes. In the video, Johnson tells the interviewer that his 17-year-old son is his "accountability partner," meaning they both get weekly reports on each other's online porn consumption.

This is obviously an extremely bizarre thing to do, let alone publicly admit to, and people online reacted as you might expect.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes," where we had some wild (and not real) sketches from SBF's trial, this year's kids' candy warnings and some infuriatingly good Halloween costumes.
