A meme tier list is a verdict on internet culture: every format graded from S to D by how funny it still is, how overused it's become, or how much it shaped the feed. Forty come loaded as text tiles, Rickroll and Nyan Cat through Stonks, Coffin Dance and Big Chungus. Anything newer goes in through ＋ Add items.
Build the ultimate meme tier list with 40 certified classics already in the tray — Doge, Pepe, Distracted Boyfriend, Wojak, Gigachad, This Is Fine and every format that has ever taken over your feed. Drag them into S through D to build a memes tier list that spans the whole history of the internet. From ancient rage comics to yesterday's format, this internet memes tier list has the hits.
Rank by how funny they are, how much you would still use them, or how badly they have been run into the ground. A meme that was S-tier in 2016 might be a hard D today — that is the debate. Curious where terms like S and F come from? Our guide to tier list slang explains the lingo, and 50 tier list ideas has more topics to rank. Export a PNG and post your definitive meme rankings.
Tier lists are a meme in their own right. The S-to-D rows grew out of competitive fighting-game communities before spreading to food, films and everything else — the history of tier lists tells that story, and what S tier means covers the grading. This board turns the joke back on meme culture itself: forty viral formats, one hierarchy, and nobody agreeing on the order.
Because every tile is plain text, it doubles as a meme tier list template you can fill in fast. Rename the rows ("peak", "mid" and "cringe" all get used) or keep S through D, drag the tiles, and you have a custom tier list ready to share. Want your own screenshots on a blank tier list instead? Start from the free tier list maker and upload them there.
Memes age faster than almost anything, so this list is really two arguments at once: which formats are timeless, and which were only funny for a week. Keep the eternal ones — Doge, Distracted Boyfriend — in your top rows, and be honest about the flash-in-the-pan formats down at the bottom.
A meme format tier list gets sharper when you mix eras. Add whatever your group chat actually uses — Italian brainrot characters, reaction memes, cursed memes, Gen Z in-jokes — and see whether any of it outranks Doge. Give one row the label "overused" for formats that got run into the ground, or build a 2026 memes board now and rank it again next year to see what survived. Dank or wholesome, a funny meme tier list works best when every row means something.
Drag each meme from the tray into a tier from S to D, then export a PNG. Everything's pre-loaded so you can start ranking now.
Yes — switch to the image maker and upload the meme pictures to rank images instead of text labels.
Definitely. Hit Add items and type any current formats; they'll drop into the tray alongside the classics.
It's the tier list format used as a joke: rows running from S down to D (sometimes F), with things sorted into them and posted to start an argument. The rows came from fighting-game communities, where players graded characters by strength, and people now apply them to foods, films, coworkers and memes themselves — which is how you end up with a tier list of memes that is also, technically, a meme.
This one is. The 40-meme board, the row editing, the PNG download and the share link all work without paying or signing up — the site is ad-supported and has no accounts at all. If you'd rather build a template from scratch, the free tier list maker starts you on an empty board with the same tools.
Not quite. There are no caption boxes or text-over-image fonts; it ranks memes rather than making them. You can style the export, though: change the title and tier colors, add your own logo or watermark text, then save it as a PNG, or as a short vertical video that reveals each tier.
Start with Mocking SpongeBob, which is already in the tray, then add the rest by name through ＋ Add items, one per line — Surprised Patrick, Tired SpongeBob and Handsome Squidward are good places to start. Leave the other 39 tiles in the tray; anything left there stays out of the exported image.
Scroll to the community ranking just below the board. Once you've ranked the 40, you can add your own board to it, and the chart shows the consensus tier for each meme, so you can see how far your take sits from everyone else's. The live polls page runs more votes like it.
