What the internet laughed at last week: photoshopped images, demotivators, memes.
Dmitry Nagiyev started an Instagram account. To show his fans the address of his personal page, the showman posed with a piece of paper with the link. The social network didn't forgive him for this – the TV presenter immediately became the subject of photoshopped images and mocking memes.
Social media reacted emotionally to the resignation of Zoryan Shkiryak, who resigned as head of the State Emergency Service shortly after the failed rescue operation in Nepal, unable to withstand the flood of criticism directed at him.
Viktoria Syumar, head of the parliamentary committee on freedom of speech and information policy, rejected criminalizing attacks on journalists because she was playing on a tablet during the vote. Later, the deputy came to her senses and reached for the voting button. This prompted online trolling.
Poroshenko's request to Mark Zuckerberg to open a Facebook office in Ukraine sparked even more ridicule and memes.

Some speculate that Klitschko may have said "mentors" rather than "remains."
