9. The Most Interesting Man in the World

The most interesting man in the world meme uses an image of a smartly dressed, suave looking, mature gentleman looking into the camera. The image was taken from an advertising campaign and the character was played by Jonathan Goldsmith, who is an American actor.

The ad involved a number of ridiculous claims about the character, and the meme followed suit. The ads got a lot of attention for their creativity and impact, and it is thought that the first meme was created in January 2010. The memes can be likened to the Chuck Norris memes because of the often ridiculous yet tongue in cheek nature of the claims that are made in them.
