Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got celebrity lookalikes, a police department's cryptic tweet and reactions to the Oasis reunion.
3. Celebrity lookalikes
The Meme
A recent tweet about how similar Margot Robbie and Rochelle Aytes look began a series of quote tweets comparing two famous figures of different ethnicities or races who had striking similar faces. Comparing people's facial features can veer into sketchy territory, but, thankfully, we didn't find anything that took things in a sinister direction.

2. Currently the M11
The Meme
Last week, the Cambridge, UK, police department attempted to tweet an update about a local motorway, but the post was somehow published before the author had finished writing.
"Please be aware that currently the M11," the cryptic tweet reads.
Please be aware that currently the M11

British people rarely waste an opportunity to make fun of other people's mistakes, and the incomplete tweet very quickly became the subject of memes all over X.

1. Oasis reunion
The Meme
Oasis, or at least the two Gallagher brothers, are finally reuniting for a tour, and '90s kids are absolutely losing their minds about it. Considering that "Wonderwall" is one of the most memetic songs in the world (second only to "All Star"), it's no surprise that this long-awaited reunion is getting the full meme treatment on X.
Anyway, here's Wondermeme.

"Oasis. The great Oasis are back. We remember Liam and Noel, don't we? They were very unfair to one another. Liam and Noel. Oasis. They made Sally wait. She knew it was too late as they walked on by. They just walked on by." pic.twitter.com/i8JmpRc6JT
