What could be a greater gift on the new year's eve in this winter other than a warm and cozy compilation of all the best memes from the passing year 2016? Oh, just the thought of it, makes my mouth water.

So, we from The Daily Star have conducted an extensive search and analysis to bring to you the best and the greatest memes of 2016 from home and abroad. Here you go!

1. The biometric fever

This is what happens when the government imposes the biometric fever on the whole population. You remember, right?

2. Here’s another tragedy caused by it.

3. When you lose all faith on the tourism ministry of your country

This, however, is meant to mock the road transport and bridges ministry, btw.

4. To hell with GK

Do you remember the viral video that showcased some of the GPA5 students giving bizarre answers to some ordinary questions? You surely do remember! Yes, this meme and the following two are the best from the hoard of memes that erupted as a consequence.

5. National poet must have written the national anthem. Makes perfect sense!

6. Ha ha ha ha ….No comments.

The interviwer did not actually ask this question though.

7. Aah! The pain of sorting the wheat from the chaff!

From the built of the restaurant, from the logo, food served in there you could no way tell whether that it is a fake KFC. Darn!

8. When you are from NSU but you are not a terrorist!

The scenario is not much different in case of the guys out there in the department of English in the University of Rajshahi. (Apologies for the dark humour.)

9. After Rampal

This shows what is feared to happen to the Sundarbans if Rampal power plant happens. This is not funny. Uhu.

10. Sundarbans now. (If only!)

We can easily imagine what the inhabitants of Sundarbans would do if they were aware of the danger. This meme says it all!

11. The Salute of this century

No description is necessary for this one. We witnessed all of this glorious history!

12. When your smartphones start to explode

This is one of the best memes that swarmed the social media after Samsung smart phones started to explode here and there. We had a different story on this series back then. Check it out here!

13. Simpsons: the oracle

Simpsons really did predict the Trump presidency. I know its mind boggling, but it’s true. And we can do nothing about it. No we can’t.

14. What if?

We humans have a crazy imagination, don’t we?

15. Really? What do you think?

The troller here is sure that Trump presidency means destruction for America. And it is one of the prevalent views over there.

The authenticity of Fidel saying this couldn't be verified though.

16. One of the funniest from 2016

When Bond, James Bond gets rejected!

17. A heartbreaking comparison

All of us from Bangladesh know how it feels, right?

18. Quite a philosophy

The troller really knows how to hack life. Fantastic, isn’t it?

19. Pun intended

20. America now!

When you can no more afford to proudly proclaim, “give me your poor, your tired….” you say ‘get the hell out of here you vile migrants’ instead.

21. Amar bhai; tomar bhai; Shamim Bhai!

22. No Jack!

This meme is surely the best that came at the wake of iPhone 7-with-no-headphone-jack phenomenon.

23. The second best

24. When pokemons became a reality

Although the Pokemon Go craze was very short lived but it surely made some serious roar all around and some serious memes here and there.

Sorry for the very long post. Here’s a video meme for free!
