There was a show at the NYC Fringe Festival, “I can haz cheeseburger, the musical”, that focused on the walrus’s quest to find his bucket. It wasn’t good exactly, but it was very of its moment.

The Lolrus.

(It's actually an elephant seal, iirc. Although some follow-up memeages are of walruses.)

This is, no joke, my favorite meme. OMG, I laughed my ass off the first time, and it's never lost it's charm.

A classic. I estimate $1000 in Kohl’s cash at auction.

Wow! I never realised they were that big! Never seen one next to a human before.

Yeah and that human is a very tall professional basketball player.
