Over the course of 16 seasons and over 300 episodes, Bob's Burgers has developed a deeply devoted fandom, rich with cosplays, fan theories, and TikTok videos lip-syncing to their favorite scenes. This community also obsesses about the tiny details on the animated family sitcom that some might miss — including the show's creator Loren Bouchard.

In Mashable's Say More interview with Bouchard, he and Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko talked about the show's growth, what drives him, how the character of Marshmallow has evolved, Bob being embraced by queer fans as a bicon, and of course how the Belcher kids eat tacos. Much to Puchko's surprise, even after 15 years of promoting Bob's Burgers on junkets and numerous conventions, Bouchard hadn't been asked about why the Belchers eat their tacos from the top down.

In case you missed it, here's the exchange from Say More:

While Puchko laid out the most popular fan theories, Bouchard admitted he didn't know the origin of this Belcher eccentricity, but promised he'd look into it. Well, he's gotten back to us.

Here is Bouchard's official follow-up to the taco question:

"This first happened in 'Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl' and was an accident we decided to keep. As many suspected, we boarded the scene with burgers, then changed the prop to tacos so we ended up with the odd-looking 'top down taco eating' animation."

This means the idiosyncratic taco-eating dates back to Season 5, episode 1, where Gene and Courtney had dueling musicals based on '80s hit movies, Die Hard and Working Girl. It's a sensational episode in many respects, including the clever practical effects for Die Hard's most iconic action scenes, and now, also the start of the Belchers eating tacos top-down.

Shout out to all those fans in our comments who speculated correctly, and a special cheers to those of you who insist top-down is the best way to eat a taco. You, Gene, Tina, and Louise clearly have a deep connection.

Bob's Burgers is now streaming on Hulu.

Memes are few and far between in 2025, but there are still some good ones.

Why are memes so rare? Simply put: TikTok. The heart of digital culture has migrated to TikTok, which is a short-form video platform. So there remain memes of a sort — they're mostly called TikTok trends — but the text-and-image-based memes of years past? Those are harder to come by.

Another reason for that? Twitter (RIP). When Elon Musk bought the app and then reimagined it as X, well, that fractured the central text-based social platform. Previously, a meme was born on Twitter, then worked its way to Reddit, then Instagram, then, weeks later, Facebook. With X becoming increasingly difficult to use and less popular, that lifecycle has mostly disappeared.

But memes, to some extent, persist. On TikTok, Bluesky, Instagram, and, yes, even X. We've tracked them closely and collected 12 of the best memes of 2025.

1. The endless 6-7 of it all

I personally cannot wait until we exit the era of 6-7. Dictionary.com made it their word of the year, for better or worse (worse...definitely worse). In case you missed it, we explained the origins and meaning, but the TL;DR is that it means nothing. It's just a fun thing to say. And kids, especially, find it hilarious. It's so prevalent that it made it onto South Park.

Just before President Donald Trump's extreme tariffs sent the U.S. economy into a tailspin, the internet had jokes...jokes about egg. It was a bit of classic internet absurdism, poking fun at people who voted for Trump for lower egg prices...as egg prices skyrocketed.

The internet collectively created a bit that the famously pricey retailer Anthropologie was selling rocks for four figures. It was all based on a joke from TikTokker @phoebeadams112, who pranked their boyfriend by claiming she paid $150 for a rock from Anthropologie. It eventually grew so large that the brand itself began joking about it.

It was the (missed) shot heard round the world: Duke crashed out of 2025's March Madness in a stunning chokejob. It was kismet: In this year's season of HBO's The White Lotus, Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) spirals out of control, often in a Duke t-shirt. The memes practically made themselves.

Morgan Wallen inspired one of the best memes of 2025 after he stormed off the stage at Saturday Night Live as the credits rolled. He later, hilariously, posted an image of a private jet to his Instagram stories, captioning it, "Get me to God's country."

It was assumed that country star Wallen, who had a previous SNL appearance cancelled for violating COVID protocols and, soon after, faced major ire when footage of him saying the N-word surfaced, was signaling to his fans he was ready to leave the liberal big city. People mostly poked fun at the idea, since, you know, the super-rich guy was leaving NYC in a private jet.

There was a period of time in 2025 when FYPs everywhere were dominated by a little French fish. It was just a little orange fish named Steve. That was really it. But it ruled.

7. The conclave memes

There were few bigger internet moments in 2025 than the conclave to decide the new pope. That seems odd, and it was. But the memes and jokes about the conclave were hilarious and constant. We got Brat edits, fancams, and breathless coverage online. It was great and quite strange.

To keep things on the holy side, TikTok had lots of memes about holy f-ing airballs in 2025. In essence, posters would use the phrase to subvert people's expectations — often in a braggy way.

9. 100 men vs. 1 gorilla

And, finally, we have perhaps the biggest meme of 2025: 100 men vs. one gorilla. The internet has long loved to imagine silly, man vs. animal fights. And in 2025, we really focused on 100 dudes taking on a gorilla. Real scientists even weighed in, which is fantastic. (In general, if the guys stay organized and selfless, they'd win.) It became a meme for days.

The whole gorilla debate was unserious and funny, just how memes should be.

10. The Weapons run

Not to spoil the movie Weapons — but to mildly spoil Weapons — a scene features kids running in a very specific manner. People quickly started copying the run, making it an IRL meme in no time at all. People also posted images of the scene, adding funny or relatable captions.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. 11. The Group 7 fad

Speaking of memes involving the number seven, remember the whole Group 7 thing? It stemmed from the promotion of the song "So Unfair" by singer Sophia James. She posted seven promotional videos, grouping folks by which video they saw. Weirdly, the Group 7 TikTok took off, and people made jokes about how elite that group was.

It was random and an interesting flash in the pan.

"I was just trying to promote my song. That's all it was," James told Mashable over email.

12. Bobby Hill's wabi-sabi

There's beauty in imperfection, and there's beauty in Bobby Hill's voice. It's no wonder a clip from King of the Hill featuring Bobby waxing about wabi-sabi took off. It became a meme on TikTok to use that sound and show off the imperfect things in life, such as crooked teeth or bad haircuts.

So sure, we didn't get as many memes this year, but we certainly had a decent amount of fun online. And as Bobby Hill taught us, perfection is overrated.

Sony has jumped on the end-of-year recap trend, introducing the new PlayStation Wrap-Up. Debuting this year, the Wrap-Up offers a summary and statistics on your PlayStation gaming habits for 2025.

What is the PlayStation Wrap-Up?

Available from today, the PlayStation Wrap-Up offers a summary and statistics on how you used your PlayStation console over the past year. This includes such information as the number of games you've played, which titles you played the most, which genres you spent the most time with, how many trophies you won, and the total hours you spent in-game. Interestingly, the PlayStation Wrap-Up also includes statistics on your hardware, such as the design of the DualSense wireless controller you used the most. 

The 2025 PlayStation Wrap-Up is available from now until Jan. 8 next year, and will continue to be updated until the end of the year. As such, even if you look at yours now, you'll probably want to check it again closer to its expiry date for a more complete summary of your 2025 PlayStation habits.

How to get your PlayStation Wrap-Up 2025 Credit: PlayStation

To see your 2025 PlayStation Wrap-Up, you simply visit the official website and sign into your PlayStation account. Once you've viewed it, you'll be given a summary card which you can share on social media, as well as a glass-themed avatar.

Not everyone will have a PlayStation Wrap-Up. In order to get one, you must be an adult with a PlayStation account who has played games on PlayStation 4 or 5 for at least 10 hours this year. You must also have consented to PlayStation collecting your "Full Data" in your PlayStation 5's system settings, or "Additional Data" in your PlayStation 4's settings.

If you're really disappointed you didn't get a Wrap-Up, you could switch on such data collection and smash out 10 hours in a game before the end of the year. Of course, the data will only cover the next three weeks of your PlayStation use, which will probably be much less interesting.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

The moon is changing each night as it moves through the lunar cycle. The lunar cycle is a series of eight phases of the moon's visibility. Today, we're on day 20 of the cycle. Keep reading to find out what this means for tonight's moon.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Wednesday, Dec. 10, the moon phase is Waning Gibbous. This means 64% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

If you don't have any visual aids, don't worry, there's still lots for you to spot tonight. Features like the Mare Vaporum, Copernicus Crater, and Aristarchus Plateau should all be visible. If you have binoculars, you'll also be able to see the Grimaldi Basin, Clavius Crater, and the Alps Mountains. For the lucky ones with a telescope, even more comes into sight, with potential glimpses of the Caucasus Mountains, Fra Mauro Highlands, and the Rima Ariadaeus.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Jan. 3.

What are moon phases?

NASA says the Moon goes through a cycle of about 29.5 days, and during that time we see its different phases. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the sunlight hitting it changes as it orbits Earth. That’s what makes it look full, half-lit, or sometimes completely hidden. The cycle has eight main phases:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
