Memes & More

Today I will be featuring another meme account that I have gotten a lot of feedback that it is one of the top accounts as well. Elliot Tebele is an Instagram star with the account "Fuck Jerry." This account has 13.5 million followers and almost 5,000 posts. Here is an interview to read if you are curious about learning more about the story behind the account's name, how he started it, and how he's turned the account into a major business: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomward/2017/07/17/who-the-f-is-jerry-an-interview-with-f-jerrys-founder-elliot-tebele/#7d3b8f283da4

Recently I have been gathering data to find what people believe to be some of the most popular meme accounts across social media. There has been a general consensus that Twitter and Instagram are the most popular platforms for memes. According to a survey I sent out, most people mentioned the following as their all time favorite meme account: The Fat Jewish (Instagram)    Josh Ostrovsky, otherwise known as "The Fat Jewish," is a 36 year old Instagram celebrity. His fame from his memes and funny content has helped him also become a write, actor, model and entrepreneur. His Instagram account currently has 10.4 million followers and over 4,000 posts. I would have to say his account is one of my favorites as well and would recommend giving him a follow if you want to add some humor to your feed!

My last post discussed the viral Walmart yodeler that was turning into hundreds of memes. The following video shows how powerful a meme can truly be:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XKSo2mFC6c Because this little kid's video and memes became so viral, he got to take a trip out to LA to be on the Ellen show. In addition to getting an interview and performance on Ellen, he was granted his biggest dream to sing at the Grand Ole Opry, and recieved a $15,000 college scholarship. And it all started with some viral memes...
