Some people tuned into the Met Gala 2024 for the fashion—and some people tune in for the laughs. Some people is us.

Ah, it’s that time of year again. People from over the world are always tuned into the momentous event that is the Met Gala, and for plenty of good reasons. This year, in a grand celebration of art and fashion—arguably the biggest fashion event of the year—the annual fundraising gala honors the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibit Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

With the dress code theme being Garden of Time, we saw plenty of stunning nature-inspired, outlandish interpretations of the theme, and also some that had us going “oh…”. Regardless, everyone tuned in put on their yapper hats and talked about everything from Stray Kids being the first K-pop group to make an appearance at the Met Gala to gala co-chair Zendaya’s double serve, Mona Patel’s butterfly ensemble to Katy Perry’s non-appearance, and more.

For those of us who don’t have $75,000 to spare for attendance the Met Gala (among other things that we don’t have in order to be there), we’ve got free rein to do what we do best: take to social media and air out our thoughts and opinions. That part of the celebration is free of charge, and quite enjoyable. In this digital age, no Met Gala has been safe from the jokes, the memes, and the laughs—no matter how grand the theme or gorgeous the outfits. If you’re up for some giggles, check out some of the best of this year’s Met Gala 2024 memes.

JUDGING IS FREE!

REFERENTIAL MILLENNIAL DADAISM, OR SOMETHING

As they say, “This is such a perfect example of referential millennial dadaism. This joke requires a knowledge of current events and a grasp of observational humor. Truly a work of art.”

Do you think Barry Keoghan knows about the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience?

NOW WHY WEREN’T THEY INVITED

THE LAYERS TO THIS

You can’t tell us this double reference to Billie Eilish (Sydney Sweeney bears some similarity to her here) and her breakdown as Cassie in Euphoria isn’t a stroke of comedic genius.

A HIDDEN SERVE

Serves are not exempt from the jokes.

TYLA THE PEOPLE’S PRINCESS

Wish that were me.

No, because why is Ian Veneracion always carrying people?

REHASHING CLASSICS

What’s a Met Gala these days without reliving this incident—which, in fact, was not from any Met Gala nor did it involve Jason Derulo in any way! The incident was from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, but the Jason Derulo joke was made, and the rest is meme history, as is this one with someone dubbing over Emily Blunt’s Met Gala 2021 moment.

WE LOVE A GOOD MOVIE REFERENCE

Stunning outfit, accurate references.

Icons. ‘Nuff said.

STRAY KIDS LORE

ICYMI, Ryan Reynolds and Stray Kids’ Bang Chan are practically besties.

Ready to battle the New Directions.

TIMELESS OUTFITS MAKE FOR COMEDY

IT’S CHALLENGING NOT TO LAUGH

Happy Meme Met Gala debut, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor.

TOO REAL

Viber notifications get us jumping every time.

KIM, ARE YOU GOOD?

What’s oxygen compared to fashion, anyway?
