A good meme is one that makes you laugh or even take part in it, like the Running Man Challenge. Some are bizarre and weird like caveman Spongebob taking over everywhere. The latest one that really hit its peak on Father's Day is the "Don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme. A mixture of bad photoshopping and then actual photos have made this meme one that you can look at over and over again.

The meme originally started in 2014, with a bad photoshop of Spike Spiegel, a character from Cowboy Bebop, an anime series. The photo included a mini Spike Spiegel and, according to Know Your Meme, included a "don't talk to me or my son ever again" text over it. That was the only iteration until 2015, when a Tumblr user did the same idea with a big Yoshi toy and a smaller amiibo one. A Twitter user then tweeted out a photo of a big animated Yoshi and a terrible photoshopped version and the meme took off. When you find the meme online, you'll see versions that continue this photoshopping tradition and others that try to find a real-life smaller replica of the big version.

Check out some of our favorites ahead which might make you laugh for days to come.
