It is scarcely believable that it has been 23 long years since Ice Age was released in theaters. The cinematic masterpiece left an indelible mark on viewers, taking them back to a time when glaciers floated about the earth, woolly mammals weren't a rare occurrence, and dinosaurs weren't a thing of the past.
The movie was first released in 2002, and it quickly amassed a huge following with adults and children alike. The movie became such a cultural phenomenon that it gave rise to a meme culture so enduring that it could endure a meteor strike. Its lovable characters, such as Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel, Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego, have become staples of online meme culture and have provided us endless comedic relief in times of distress.
On the 23rd anniversary of the "Ice Age" franchise, let's take a look at some of the funniest memes that blend a ridiculous sense of humor with a touch of nostalgia.

Scrat's character is off the charts, really. His nose certainly looks like a faucet that was left running for so long that it is now dripping with chaos and anxiety. He made all of us anxious as well, that's for sure.
When you spent most of your life chasing that nut but not your dreams (via Instagram/@masimemes)
Scrat's love for nuts honestly knows no bounds. He will have his nut, no matter what. And we couldn't love him more for that.
If you don't understand this, we can't be friends (via Pinterest/@pych black)
Buck from Ice Age wears a single leaf like it's high fashion, which seems like a hilarious way to blend in with the foliage. Whatever his intentions may be, it is certainly hilarious.

Can you guess you could've caused the destruction of mankind and civilization on Mars? Only one nut-loving lure comes to mind...

When I try to sleep on time, my brain decides it's the perfect moment to become a stand-up comedian, flooding me with every joke, meme, and random thought it's been saving all day. Thanks brain, very cool.
If ya'll think surviving is hard (via Pinterest/@Ca1z)
The ultimate survivor of the Ice Age franchise. No matter how dire or difficult the situation may be, you can always bank on Sid to come through it flying, usually through some antics of his.

Dentists must love Ice Age—Sid’s teeth alone could fund an entire career in orthodontics.
When I want to be in a hyped mood but instead i'm just like (via Instagram/@introvertmindset)
Hate it when it happens, honestly. Why can't we always be the happy-go-lucky guy like Sid?
He belongs in a psych ward (via Pinterest/@szlug)
Ice Age fans hate that kid like he personally raised their rent, or maybe it's because he's the only character who doesn't have to deal with Scrat's acorn-induced chaos or Sid's sloth-paced jokes.
When someone starts crying and you don't know how to comfort them (via Instagram/@_sid.the.sloth._)
Sid's advice would probably be as comforting as you could expect a sloth's advice to be chaotic and unhelpful yet oddly entertaining.
Someone just said these two have the same energy (via Pinterest/@Ingrid Sommer)
Loki and Scrat are both tricksters with flair- one’s after an acorn, the other a throne- but both are agents of pure, unhinged chaos.
Me after I said something wrong but with confidence (via Instagram/@restrictive)
Can you imagine scolding Sid with a straight face when he pulls out those big guns, those big oogly eyes? We can't fathom the prospect.
Still a better love story than twilight (via Pinterest/@Kenzie Langford)
Scrat's obsession with nuts is so intense that he'd trade the world for an acorn. This isn't just a theory, we have proof of that!
