Jacare Banguela (.br) means literally the “Toothless Alligator”. It’s the most successful humor blog in Brazil and a powerful source of Internet memes. The most successful meme, indeed, is the one which spreads Jacare’s trademark: Any sign that mimes an alligator spread mouth (made with hands, legs, etc) eating something. Another successful meme is the “Drunken of the Week Award”, also featured above. I’ve collected some of the most creative from Brazilians all over the world to you:
