The best memes of the week are back, with whole new bunch for you. For all our readers stuck at home because of Hurricane Sandy, we know you need the entertainment. So look no further, we've got enough fresh memes to keep you laughing until the lights come back on (well, maybe not that long).
This week's list of GIFs is particularly awesome. We have more than a few funny animal GIFs but don't act too surprised. Sometimes we at TheFW just can't help spreading our love for cats doing adorably funny things, such as our first GIF of a cat finally figuring out who was really behind her toy.
We didn't have to travel too far into the depths of the internet to come up with the best memes for this week. Some current events outside the internet (gasp!) prompted some great memes. The second presidential debate in "town hall" style was especially inspirational. From the debate we got 'Binders Full of Women,' 'Menacing Josh Romney,' and more.
We couldn't have made a list of awesome GIFs from this week without including the cooler-than-you daredevil Felix Baumgartner. His amazing free-fall jump blew our minds, as did the GIFs commemorating it.
We're excited to show you here all the great memes of this week. Current event-wise, there's no way you could've missed the vice-presidential debate or, more importantly, the photoshopped vice presidential hair-swap
Oh rom-coms, the lighthearted romantic comedies that you'd never admit to your girlfriend that you really like. We all know the plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love but are kept apart due to some complicated circumstance. This awesome Tumblr RomCom2012 that we recently found has a new take on the typical rom-com: rom-com Romney.
We have some great GIFs for you here to sum up your week. Reaction to a big test you just took? We've got that. Frustration with the presidential debate? We've got that too. Got your heart broken so brutally that you're considering switching teams? That most likely didn't happen, but just in case we've got that for you anyway. It's been a good week.
It should come as no surprise that we have some great presidential debate memes for you this week. But we also have a lot more. We love cats, but some dog memes are always appreciated. And 'Sudden Clarity Clarence' has teamed up with 'The Office' to deliver some laughs as well.
