WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 03: Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) holds a news conference about state and local tax (SALT) deductions as part of the Build Back Better reconciliation legislation at the U.S. Capitol on November 03, 2021 in Washington, DC. Sanders and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) were critical of a reported deal struck among Democratic negotiators to remove the cap on federal tax deductions for paid state and local taxes for five years. “As a result, the top 1% would pay lower taxes after passage of the Build Back Better plan than they did after the Trump tax cut in 2017. This is beyond unacceptable,” Sanders said.

It is worth noting that viral memes are always taken from pop culture stuff, like social media videos, movies, and even video games, as per the report by Looper.

It is to note that gamers are one of the biggest creators of memes on the internet.

To cut to the chase, here are the best gaming memes that made it this 2021.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 26: Snoop Dogg sits down with Roxanne Shante on SiriusXM's Rock The Bells Radio at The SiriusXM Studios on October 26, 2021 in New York City.

Dogg got frustrated after the opposing team was able to score a total of three touchdowns compared to his zero in just a mere 15 minutes of the game.

The American rapper, who was streaming his gameplay on social media, ended up taking off his headphones as his rage quit.

He then ranted about his experience, saying that "I came in this room and everything went bad."

His rage quit reaction has then birthed a new meme in the gaming community.

Mercy Overwatch Skin Meme

Another gaming meme that has been the talk of the town this 2021 was from the new skin from the multiplayer first-shooter game "Overwatch."

It comes after "Overwatch" introduced a new limited-time skin for the character Mercy, which is dubbed as the "Camouflage."

However, memers have noticed that the hairstyle of Mercy in the new skin is somewhat familiar to a popular meme.

It turns out that Mercy's new look in "Overwatch" sported the same haircut as the "Karen meme."
