Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.

This week, we've got a threatening movie trailer teaser, Cam from "Modern Family's" press shots and the glorious return of Posh and Becks.


3. 'Wonka'

The Meme

There’s a new movie coming out this year that seems to be making everyone collectively rub their eyes. It’s called “Wonka,” and yes, it's a prequel-reboot thing of “Willy Wonka” — and yes, it doesn't look great, and yes, we're all just tired of the Hollywood treadmill mining out our childhoods for some extra cash.

The @FilmUpdates account on X recently posted that a new trailer for the film was "imminent," and people made fun of how threatening that sounded. If you ask me, this looks like they grabbed Timothee Chalamet off the street, threw him onto the set of "Fantastic Beasts" and said "action!" Not a particularly exciting moment, seeing a new "Wonka" trailer. God, I'm so old.

2. Cam from 'Modern Family'

The Meme

A couple of weeks ago, it was stock photos of Kevin James that had gripped the site formerly known as Twitter — now, stock images of another sitcom character have taken its place. People are using pictures of Cam from “Modern Family,” real name Eric Allen Stonestreet, to illustrate everything from the feeling of waiting to be served at a bar to lying to your doctor about your alcohol intake.

1. The Beckhams

The Meme

David and Victoria Beckham, two of Britain's biggest cultural icons of the past few decades, were recently thrust back into the online limelight after a documentary about David was released on Netflix. Clips and screenshots from the documentary were shared online, mostly highlighting the couple's banter inbetween interviews, their sartorial choices and overall relationship dynamic — all of which fans seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes," which dealt with Kevin McCarthy's ousting, bedbugs invading Paris, Jimmy Butler's new haircut and the nationwide emergency alert test.
