Internet sensations come and go so quickly, it's easy to forget about all of the hilarious memes that have gone viral in 2013. This year, we saw the rise of everybody's favorite pup, DogeGrumpy Cat got her very own book and movie, and rappers like Drake and Jay Z had a bunch of their less flattering photos immortalized in the form of hilarious memes.

2013 was a big year not only for some of our favorite rappers and furry online friends but for the rest of the world too. Pope Benedict XVI stepped down, Blizzard Nemo happened, the United States Federal Government shut down for a few days, and a whole lot more.

Note to men everywhere: when you manage to get a model's number, text her like a normal person. Do not make #StarbucksDrakeHands guy's mistake by sending her a selfie video of you smiling silently and creepily as "Hold On, We're Going Home" plays in the background. It won't get you on a date with her—but it will secure you Idiot of the Year and your very own meme. Behold, #StarbucksDrakeHands.

Back in February, the Internet exploded with a video parody of Taylor Swift's "Trouble" music video. Instead of Taylor Swift's screams, the video has been replaced with the video and audio of a goat's bleating. Days later, many variations emerged like this clip of Jay Z and Kanye's "Ni**as in Paris," featuring a billy goat. See the music clips below.
