(#2) The Arsenal of Guns and Guitar Hero Guy
This is one of the greatest people in the history of the Internet. The fact that one of the most well-known pictures on the web features a shirtless, hairy, balding guy surrounded by an arsenal of guns (and some Guitar Hero controllers???) is what makes this universe so great.
As it turns out, these pictures actually originated from a gun lovers' forum that this guy frequents, and which also features a video of him shooting a gun.
His wife actually took all the pictures of him as a joke, but sadly he went on his original post to tell everyone about how his wife cheated on him with his best friend in his own house while he was sleeping. (Who the hell would do that to a guy with this kind of arsenal?!)
Not only does this guy completely own the embarrassingly amazing pictures of him from around the Internet, but he loves the online fame.
And we think he's a pretty good guy for not shooting his best friend in the nuts with a grenade launcher.

(#3) The Fat Man at the Computer
This is the most often used, widespread, recognizable singular picture of an unknown fat guy on the Internet. He's one of the oldest viral images in Internet history, as well as one of the first results when you Google "fat guy".
Because of his stature, and the fact that it's probably just a picture taken of some guy happily using his ball-roll mouse on Windows ME on CompuServe on a Compaq Presario, he gets the #1 spot. The poor guy was probably just having a little online fun, and has now been seen (and ridiculed) by millions of people across the web.
Eventually, he probably even had to shave his beard and put a shirt on. I hope you're all ashamed of yourselves.

(#4) The Numa Numa Guy
Famous for his lipdub video to a then-unknown song called Dragostea din tei by the band O-Zone, the pre-Keenan Cahill YouTube lip syncer named Gary Brolsma became known as "The Numa Numa Guy" in the early days of the viral web.
After only three months, the video had over three million views and people not only mimicked what he did, but loved him for it. The viral video has since earned him appearances in Weezer music videos, spot on traditional media outlets, and Internet fame that will pretty much last him the rest of his life. He was even featured in a Geico commercial in 2009 (way to be timely, Geico).

(#5) Butthurt Dweller
The Butthurt Dweller meme features an unsightly young male who likely has never been with a woman, but sure likes to judge them as often as his popular image macro meme will allow. Smug, delusional, and never one to pass up an extra helping of butter, the Butthurt Dweller can be easily found playing videos games, trolling Reddit, or watching adult films in his mother's basement.
The Butthurt Dweller is a special kind of person who can form a reasonable opinion of something without knowing a single thing about it. Women, religion, music: they're all fair game for his criticism.
The worst/best part? The Butthurt Dweller meme features an image of an actual person. KimmoKM, a Finnish "basement dweller," stars in and inspired the meme when his smug mug was posted on a Finnish website along with the comment "ugly whale, I wouldn't f*ck her" in regards to a beautiful woman posted on an image board.
That quick moment of narcissism was enough to launch an Internet meme that would blow up in 2010. The notorious Internet forum 4chan took hold of the meme and exploited the troll in dozens of languages over the next few months.
KimmoKM became an Internet legend and was actually a good sport about the whole thing. In an IRC interview, he not only talked about his approval of the meme, but also that the statements made by the Butthurt Dweller, or Gordo Granudo as he's also known, are pretty close to his own thoughts and opinions.
So terrifyingly enough, this guy exists. -
(#7) The TRON Guy
TRON Guy is one of the nicest, most genuine and amazing people in Internet celebrity history. And with all the jokes about his weight, his appearance, and his (actually kind of awesome) costume, he definitely had to have some kind of good karma coming to him.
I mean the guy is just a lowly nerd (the real kind) who happens to love a certain franchise/movie. He's passionate about something. That's more than we can say about the vast majority of people.
His name is Jay Maynard and he's a computer programmer and system admin for Hercules, an emulator of IBM mainframe hardware (which is probably why he's so into TRON).
When he rose to fame in 2004, he made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel, traditional media and even got a Tosh.0 Web Redemption in 2009.
Fun/sad fact: because his suit actually lights up, he was not allowed to see the opening night screening of TRON: Legacy when the theatre staff saw him come up to the ticket booth.
He currently gives out autographs at conventions and enjoys his amateur radio hobby. -
(#8) Fat Guy Eats Pizza Rolls to Beat Personal Record
This super viral was featured on Tosh.0, so you know it's important. This big guy "challenges" himself to eat a "personal" record of 40 pizza rolls. That's 40. I have a hard time not feeling like I have to wash my face after about 8 of them. This guy eats 40. He accepts "challenges" from his YouTube audience, or as I call them, his executioners, and eats random stuff for them to watch.
If this guy ever gets a girlfriend, I'm giving up on life. But dear LORD does he stick to his guns. I don't know if he could give that 6-pack having Japanese competitive eater Kobayashi a run for his money, but I for one would like to see that match up.
This guy rules. -
(#9) The Guy Who Dropped the Mustard
One of the saddest (look how sad he looks!) and funniest pictures in Internet history, this is a viral image that was made popular on Fark in about 2005.
It's originally a shot of a guy named Mike "Nug" Nahrgang, a Canadian comedian and actor who's won various awards for being part of a sketch comedy troupe.
He and another actor from his troupe were having a food fight when Nahrang inadvertently covered himself in mustard, someone took a picture and the rest is history. -
(#11) The "I Beat Anorexia" Guy
One of the most shared images of a fat man ever, this guy doesn't that he's probably going to have a heart attack by the time he's 50.
The image is hilarious in of itself, so a tip of the ill-fitting hat to one of the people who's made me laugh hardest during my various interweb travels. -
(#12) The Star Wars Kid
One of the first viral video internet memes in history starred a fat guy, a fat kid, actually, playing Star Wars with himself in front of a camera. People made fun of the kid for being such a huge nerd, but then started editing reali lightsabers onto his hands, setting his dances to electronic music, and even making it seem like he was doing great moves to avoid laser blasts.
Here's a good compilation of what some people did with his video:
Ah, they early memes. The kid ended up becoming a lawyer and actually lost all the weight:
He's successful guy now, but the Internet notoriety he experienced as a kid actually caused him some trouble. He was bullied as a kid, forced to drop out of his high school, and diagnosed with depression. He eventually sued the families of the three classmates who leaked the video.

(#13) Obese Guy Eats a Box of Twinkies
This guy rattles off some BRILLIANT one-liners all the while eating an entire box of the most disgusting dessert in the history of the world.
What's more, he says that he'd rather do that than get pleasured by a human woman (and yes the "human" in this sentence was necessary). This is most likely because he's never felt the touch of a human woman, or he has some weird, magical power that makes eating fried foods that good -- which would actually justify his weight and make me 100% jealous.

(#14) Awesome Dude Eats Biggest Hamburger I've Ever Seen
This is one of the most often-used and famous images on the web. Why? Because a hamburger the size of a healthy human infant is being shoveled into a guy's face. DUH.
It is a sad representation of the sad futility of the human condition. He will obviously never be able to fit a quality bite of hamburger into his mouth. But we love the effort.

(#17) The Obese Toddler Eating McDonald's
This is a famous picture of an obese toddler (also know as "The Stay Puft Marshmallow Toddler" or "The Michelin Toddler") that shows up in the search results for McDonald's (that's right, just the word McDonald's) and is a staple of internet journalism that illustrates the idea that Americans really aren't feeding their children correctly.
This kid may be fat, but he seems pretty happy. Here's hoping he eventually learns to eat a more healthily.
-
(#19) Cuppy Cake Sam
This adorable heavy kid sang along to a Strawberry Shortcake song called Cuppy Cake and managed to snag more than 69 million views.
Sadly, it turns out that Sam has a kidney disease and has been taking steroids to try and get well. The side effects of his meds make the him really tired, irritable and unfortunately, chunky.
-
(#28) The Nintendo Controller Armor Kid
This kid is an internet staple. Making a suit of armor (and an awesome staff) out of Nintendo parts/controllers is no small task. He's wearing a cape because he is a superhero and can probably control your mind with his power glove, kill you in one shot with his lightgun, and control your very movements with his D-Pad staff and necklace.
