Awesome Michael Phelps Memes From The Rio Olympics

There isn’t anything quite like Michael Phelps’ face to launch a million memes. I’m not sure if his face is just that expressive and he doesn’t realize it, or if that is what happens when a camera follows you around for hours at a time — they’re bound to catch some pretty great moments. And no image has been quite as meme-worthy as Michael Phelps’ face. On Monday night, Michael Phelps’ go face — i.e. the face he had on as he listened to music and getting pumped for a race — spawned thousands of memes. But that moment, which will live in Olympic infamy, wasn’t the only moment during the games that have been meme-worthy. No, there have been a ton of Michael Phelps memes from the 2016 Rio Olympics, and each and every one of them is worthy of a gold medal.

Of course we don’t have space for all of them here. That is what your Twitter and Instagram feeds are for, people. But I’ve compiled the best Michael Phelps memes from the 2016 Olympics for your viewing pleasure. Because, I get it. You’re busy. There are Olympic games to watch. Who has time to gather up all of those memes and pick the best of the bunch?
