The voting has finally closed and it's time to announce the winners in a really long thread that practically no one will reach the end of!!!

We've had 4,505 votes and over 600 more pledges to boycott Heineken 🎉

So which memes are the n3w h0tn3ss? Let's go through them... Image
A strong showing in the Bakhmut category. We're going to need some more memes now to celebrate the great Pyrrhic victory and the trading of 30k+ russian lives for a big pile of rubble that will soon belong to Ukraine again. Big up @sarcastic_spell, creator of the silver winner. Image
Great work in the Best Design category. I'm a huge fan of the bronze winnner but the people's vote went to "Band of Bonkers". Image
Big up @MichaelWatman - creator of the winning meme in the Biolab category!!! My personal overall fave. Silver and bronze both fantastic as well - and in fact the whole category is worth a look. Image
Category: Bonk! And more classic bonk-materiel here. Bread rolls has aged well and gets the silver but first place goes to a three ingredient recipe: washing machine + fella + bonk stick. What's not to love? Image
The ERA category is rather predictably dominated by Florks with a small cameo from Poland. Let's just call this one the Florks award. ♥️ Image
Everyone loves a good fire deep in the heart of russia. Not least @emiliaclarke !!! Great work in second place by @PhotoWander and in third by @NAfo17618136. Image
Greatest Impact - the ones that make you think. All strong work here. We've been looking for the creator of the Heinken bullet belt for some time - anyone know who made that? Image
A popular category next: HIMARS!!! Gold goes to a superb piece of design work - well deserved. In second place - we all know when that is! And third goes to one that I've never seen but made me laugh myself silly! Image
Not sure what the "Langley" category is all about - I've never heard of Langley and Langley has clearly never heard of NAFO. That's probably why the winner is the winner.

He appears to be higher up the ladder than me though, I only get one bag of cash. Image
Three absolute classics in the Moskva category. Bronse and silver are both excellent, but only one meme in this competition was commissioned by the Ukrainian postal service. It had to win. Image
Most LOL: A bit of an unfair category name, as they're all pretty LOL if you ask me. I suspect the reason that the winner got gold comes down to the clueless look on the face of the tall guy on the left. 🤣 Image
Most Seen is a sort of pre-won category. These guys have already been voted for in the public space. I think we all know and love these three. Image
Most Surreal - subtlety gets you the gold, but I have a soft spot for the "Battle of Techno House" playing card.

Also - I'm going to enjoy carving up Moscow later this year. The NAFO district should be fun! Image
NAFO Recruitment was an incredibly strong category with too many good entries fighting for only three places. Go and put some in your arsenal for boosting, now!

Congrats to @bopandy1 for crafting the fella Abbey Road which got the gold!!! Image
Nordstream. It seems so long ago. When some of these were made, we weren't even 100% sure it was Russia behind it!

Shout out to @MBlech for the surfacing Shiba in second place 🥈 Image
"Other" - the big miscellaneous category, 222 entries - go and have a look. A riff on the classic in first place, one of my faves in second and Dave Bowman in third. In space, no one can hear you bonk. (Wrong movie, don't @ me.) Image
Category: Putin. Three absolute all-time classics here - they should all get gold IMHO. However, only one did, so big up @Chris8Reis who made it 🥇 Image
Now the Shitpost category - you should all know these by heart. Thanks to @JPReisender for the gag in #2 which works just as well in the pub as it does in a meme! Image
Three from the Tanks category. All similar yet all different and surprisingly not a turret-toss among them. We don't know who made these, nor do we care - they're excellent! Image
Next up: The Hague. Gold goes to a meme that is now the profile pic of 100's if not 1000's of fellas. That one went truly viral. Accredited to @thisuser_isdumb - a truly amazing impact. 🥇A respectable bronze fo "You stole a toilet?" from the meme factory of @jodokus_kwak. Image
Tractors. It was another time entirely. I wonder if any farmers still have their tanks, or if they've all been fixed up and redeployed? Image
Vatnik: this is a category worth bookmarking. With useable memes for most occasions it's almost as good as Shitpost. We don't know who made any of these, but we know and love them all. ♥️ Image
Oh the sweet, sweet taste of Vatnik Tears! Shout out to @bopandy1 - his gourmet fella came in 2nd, but the gold clearly has to go to surfer fella. Anyone not seen that? Image
Last, but definitely not least we have "What doing?" - the phrase that launched a thousand memes. Big up @OasisvBlur (giving away your age there) for the hilarious and Potteresque "What airdefense doing?".

Thanks to all who supported this, it's been a blast. Love you #fellas! Image
After much consideration we have decided to give the Special Creator's Award to...

#NAFO!!!! 🥇

It honestly feels wrong to single out one fella. In the end, bonking is a team sport and our team is winning it.

Happy bonking! 😍

1/ I've been doing some analysis of photos of Putin. I'm not done yet but here's an interim update. I downloaded 6000 photos of "Putin" and manually reduced that to 1500 good close-ups of the face. I then ran them all through a facial recognition and clustering algorithm.
2/ I have ranked them all using my proprietory scale of Putin-ness. These ones at the high end are very likely Putin. Next let's look at the interesting are the ones that probably aren't... Image
3/ These ones score the lowest for Putin-ness. Image

1/ This is such blatent propaganda that I thought I'd take a look at Dr.Sam Youssef Ph.D.,M. Sc.,DPT. to see what sort of person fakes hideous images when real hideous images are already available.
2/ When not posting disinformation, he runs the Healing Light Therapy Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is an expert in metaphysical parapsychology, holistic physical therapy and natural health consultations.
3/ His PhD and his qualifications are from the University of Sedona (associated with the University of Metaphysics). As this didn't sound like an actual university, I checked out their website.
