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 reactions to a very English-sounding Dutch phrase, someone's least-liked element of suburban design, a drunk Jason Kelce going shirtless in public and the humorous use of an Anthony Bourdain photo.


4. 'We hebben een serieus probleem'

The Meme

Right-wing Dutch MP Geert Wilders shared a post on X earlier this month that included the following words in Dutch: "We hebben een serieus probleem." The app's users immediately clocked how closely that resembles the English translation — "we have a serious problem" — and went on a tear about how it looks like an English speaker faking a foreign language. Of course, the similarity is no coincidence; Dutch and English are closely related to each other. That kind of sober linguistic analysis won't stop the memes, though.

3. Staging the inaccessible landing

The Meme

Real Estate guy Alan Corey posted a photograph of his "least-liked" suburban design element — the landing space above a home's front door.

"Any creative solutions for 'staging' it out there?" he inquired on X — and, amid the torrent of trolls, there were some fun replies, too.

2. Shirtless Jason Kelce

The Meme

Jason Kelce, the now retired center who played for the Philadelphia Eagles, is quite the public figure. He stars in TV commercials with his brother Travis and his mom, he cameos on "Saturday Night Live" and he shows up to root for the Kansas City Chiefs now that he isn't playing in the playoffs. Recently, the TV cameras at the Chiefs-Bills game kept cutting to the booth Taylor Swift was sitting in — and wouldn't you know it, Jason was there, shirtless, drunk and screaming his head off for his brother. A meme was born.

1. Anthony Bourdain on a train

The Meme

This one is simple: use a photo of the late, great chef and travel documentarian Anthony Bourdain on a train somewhere abroad to make fun of the things white people do to feel cultured, well-traveled and interesting.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes,", which featured bad two-line poems, reactions to the "Orange Peel Theory" and yet another Taylor Swift meme.
