St. Patrick's Day 2022 is here and it is one of the most friendly and joyous occasions on the calendar, and with people now able to celebrate it outside with their friends, it's important to know there is still a place for web-based revelry with a look at the best memes for St. Patrick's Day 2022.

With the holiday having been around for so long and having such a rich and vibrant history, the number of memes available online is virtually endless, but we've had a pick over some of the truly worthwhile mentions ahead of 2022's flagship Irish holiday.

The celebrity photoshop

It wouldn't be a meme if a celebrity hadn't been rather crudely photoshopped onto an image in an amusing outfit or pose, and this is exactly the case for one of our first selections, with Patrick Stewart being given the full St. Patrick's Day treatment.

Positive Identification

Whilst St. Patrick's Day has historical roots in Ireland, there can be no doubt that the American population has taken the holiday to its hearts.

Even those with very minor links to the Emerald Isle like to enjoy the merriment provided by the occasion, as was made clear in this rather amusing take on American's on St. Patrick's Day involving the rather aptly named 'Green Goblin' character from the 2002 Spider-Man film.

The joys of spatial awareness

A St. Patrick's Day tradition that is perhaps more painful than necessary is where those not wearing green on the day are pinched by anyone who sees them. Whilst played out rather humorously on television, this can be a very real dark spot on the day of someone in serious business attire, yet there is even a meme for them.

Movie fans assemble

It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without some green-themed film content...

Promoting international friendliness

Whilst there are those who love to be part Irish for one day a year, you can rely on the Scots to remain fiercely proud.
