The only bit of info you really need to know is that Leonardo DiCaprio got hit in the face with a volleyball while playing a friendly game in Malibu, and someone captured the moment on camera.

TIME reckons the resultant social media response is an indicator that this could be a strong contender for “meme of the summer 2019” – or winter, as is the case down here in the Southern Hemisphere.

The definition of ‘meme’ also seems to be pretty loose these days.

That’s why we sifted through the muck to bring you the funniest ‘Leo getting smacked in the face’ memes.

I would recommend all of the people above learn from the real meme-masters, though – the South Africans behind that superb A-Z video we featured earlier this week.
