Florida be like … an inspiration for countless memes and GIFs over the years.
Memes, those jokey, usually captioned and intentionally amateurish-looking images that put a sardonic spin on a newsy or cultural moment and then go viral across the Internet, owe much to the Sunshine State.
Same goes for GIFs, those video-like graphics that capture a few seconds of an existing movie, TV show or news clip and repeat it over and over.
Recurrent Florida meme themes include weather, our unique cultural practices (like never using our turn signals), our wonderful weirdness and of course our Florida men and Florida women.
Anyway, without further ado, here are a lot of Florida-centric memes and GIFs in one convenient spot:
If you’ve created — or seen — a meme or GIF that best sums up living in South Florida, please send it along to and we may include it.
