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 a bunch of "Succession" memes, because the season four trailer just dropped, weird MrBeast fans and the reemergence of Elon Musk because — you guessed it — he momentarily broke Twitter.
3. 'Succession' returning
The meme
"Succession," a lot of people's favorite show, is returning for its fourth and final season this year. The HBO show is critically acclaimed and has also forged a legion of online fans that keep themselves busy with fancams, quote accounts and memeable moments. So naturally, when season four was announced, fans pulled up all the memes they'd saved for the momentous occasion. The memes range from topical, season four-specific points, to more wide-ranging moments from the show. All-in-all a celebration of the Waystar RoyCo universe.
Examples

After Succession has ended, they should just give the theme song to another show. Shouldn't go to waste.

2. Elon broke Twitter, again
The meme
March 6 might have been a regular day for most sane people on earth, but for Twitter power users — like the entire Digg staff — it was a day that will live in infamy. Twitter broke! Elon broke it, just totally busted. Links wouldn’t work, hyperlinking didn’t work, photos wouldn’t load, the whole thing just imploded. And of course, one man is to blame: the guy who owns the website and constantly tweeted about the entire ordeal. Turns out, firing your workforce is NOT a good idea to sustain reliability.
Examples
twitter engineer here. the app broke cuz elon made us tweak the algorithm to force stephen king to see all his posts. we told him we should run unit tests before pushing to prod, but he just said “haha. unit testes. epic.” then he got up and stood in a corner like the blair witch

you have to admit, everyone posting images of errors they're getting on twitter but it's currently so broken that absolutely no images are loading is objectively pretty funny

1. MrBeast
The meme
Famous YouTuber and millionaire MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, has his own chocolate bar company (because obviously) called Feastables. On Friday, he asked his 18.9 million Twitter followers to help tidy up the chocolate bar displays in supermarkets if they notice them looking messy.
I need your help! Next time you see Feastables in Walmart (and soon to be new retailers) if you could clean up the presentation and make it look better that’d make me very happy 🥺
— MrBeast (@MrBeast) March 3, 2023
I’m building a team to do this routinely, just need help in the short term ❤️ pic.twitter.com/CzYqOqQvta
Strangely, but maybe not surprisingly, MrBeast fans set out in their droves to fix the store displays of the millionaire’s candy products — and people started posting memes making fun of them.

Thank you to everyone who's asked me about how I'm feeling. I'm doing better.

I know you might think it's funny to mess with the Feastables display at Walmart. I thought so too. Don't do it.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes, Ranked”, where we had a celebrity couple joke, Pedro Pascal entering the meme HOF and a rather wholesome Kevin Hart moment.
