This Is 2012 Summed Up in One Image

Hey girl -- it's been a good year. No need to panic if you missed something along the way, though. Just look at the picture above.

Reddit user SellingIsSoExciting mashed together some of 2012's biggest Internet moments into one masterfully crafted photo. It's a grumpy, Gangnam-styling, Path to Prosperity-pumping collection of awesomeness.

Any 2012 moments that should have made the photo? Let us know what you think below. And here's to a meme-tastic and eventful 2013! Because, you know, YOLO.

1. 12. Photobombing Stingray

   Five years ago, three college girls on a Caribbean vacation got a serious case of the heebeejeebies when a stingray photobombed their "say cheese" moment. The hilarious photograph could have ended up as just a fond vacay memory if it weren't for a friend, who shared the image on Reddit in September of this year.

3. 10. Ridiculously Photogenic Guy

   Zeddie Little was happily jogging along in the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run in South Carolina, when a photographer snapped a shot of Little and his perfectly pearly teeth.

   The photo of the dashing runner was posted to Reddit in April under the title "My friend calls him 'Mr Ridiculously Photogenic Guy.'"

   Ridiculously Photogenic Guy ended up charming the Internet enough to earn a spot in meme history, even if he did lose the race.

   

4. 9. Potato Jesus

   Octogenarian Cecilia Gimenez attempted to restore a 19th century church fresco, but instead, her amateur painting skills turned Jesus into a cartoon version of himself.

   A BBC Europe reporter described the finished piece as "a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic." The botched fresco also drew comparisons to Rowlf the Dog and Brutus Buckeye.

   The bad makeover dropped jaws across the web over the summer, especially after Gimenez demanded payment for her shoddy paint job.

   The Photoshopping wizards of the Internet put the Potato Jesus face on other famous works of art.

   

5. 8. Grumpy Cat

   The sourpuss mug of a cat named Tardar Sauce scratched the Internet with delight in September. A Reddit user shared a photo of the grouchy-faced feline and the Grumpy Cat meme began spreading its crabbiness around the web.

   Grumpy Cat (and her brother, Pokey) now have their own website, which posts a "Daily Grump" and sells merchandise like t-shirts and Scrooge-like holiday cards.

   

6. 7. Eastwooding and Invisible Obama

   Clint Eastwood's somewhat surprise appearance at the GOP Convention had Republicans excited for Dirty Harry badassness. Instead, they got 10 minutes of the Hollywood legend talking to an empty chair.

   The bizarre appearance spawned both the @InvisibleObama Twitter account and the Eastwooding photo fad, in which people shared images of empty chairs.

   Sorry, couches, but Eastwood crowned chairs the hottest furniture of 2012.

   

7. 6. Overly Attached Girlfriend

   An intense-eyed 20-something named Laina scared the crap out of men everywhere when her face first went viral as an advice animal macro this summer.

   The Overly Attached Girlfriend meme featured a screengrab from a parody Justin Bieber fan video created by Laina. The stalkerish lyrics and potent stare made Overly Attached Girlfriend the most loveable clingy lady friend in Internet history.

   

8. 5. Dog Shaming

   In 2012, dog humiliation caught on like fleas at the dog park. Tumblr Dogshaming featured photos of pooches wearing signs that spelled out their transgressions — for the whole Internet to see.

   Dog owners with poop scoot marks on carpet or drawers filled with chewed up panties punish their furry friends with web-blasted embarrassment.

   

9. 4. Big Bird, Binders and Bayonets

   The 2012 presidential election was brought to you by the letter B. Mitt Romney's debate meme-lights included references to Big Bird, Binders Full of Women, and Horses and Bayonets.

   The Triple B threat ensured that election season had plenty of laughs to help distract from the real (and boring) issues.

   Mitt Romney may not have scored the White House gig, but at least he'll have something to laugh at. Or maybe not.

   

10. 3. Texts From Hillary

    A photograph of Hillary Clinton looking like a badass diplomat while donning sunglasses and checking her phone went seriously viral. And thus, Texts From Hillary was born.

    The Tumblr created multi-pane pics that feature Hillz's faux reactions to texts from people like Sarah Palin and Barack Obama.

    The creators of the Tumblr made the decision to go out on top after meeting the secretary of state. The dignified goodbye earns extra kudos, especially when most of the Internet would be happy to stretch its fame.

    

11. 2. Ermahgerd!

    The Swedish Chef may have coined Börk speak, but in 2012, the Internet couldn't get enough of Berk speak.

    A photograph of a vest-sporting girl holding Goosebumps books debuted on Reddit in March and soon inspired a series of advice animal knockoffs. The widespread use of Ermahgerd talk (or Berks speak) even spawned web translators to help people perfect their lisped quips.

    

12. 1. McKayla Is Not Impressed

    U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney did not win the most medals amongst the Fab Five, but her 'tude-filled face did help make her the most Internet famous.

    After a tumble on her signature event, Maroney had to settle for a silver medal in the vault competition. During the medal ceremony, a photographer snapped a shot that seemed to sum up the gymnast's feelings about her second place finish. The scowl flipped its way across the web and got 'Shopped to gold medal glory on the Tumblr McKayla Is Not Impressed and elsewhere.

    President Obama even got in on the unimpressed action recently, solidifying McKayla Is Not Impressed as the meme for 2012.
