We all remember when Miley Cyrus said she was fine with buying herself flowers, holding her hand, and honestly, doing everything on her own, and girl, we are living for that.
Soon, the anthem of self-love was on the charts, and of course, no viral song stays beyond the reach of the internet for very long. Enter the meme factory. While Miley’s singing about personal empowerment, the internet’s been busy transforming her catchy lyrics into a nonstop source of laughs.
From “I can buy myself flowers” to “I can laugh at myself too,” these hilarious memes take the song’s self-sufficiency to a whole new level. Perhaps even Miley requires a couple of chuckles… and the internet is ready to oblige.
1) Spoiler: it's not working (Miley)
The fact that I cannot remember what I had for breakfast (or I even had one) should not be taken into consideration when I try to learn the Quadratic formula in 5 minutes.
2) Professor X in training
Meanwhile, my dad in the front seat had no idea that it was me who was single-handedly keeping the universe in order.
3) Choose a side
It's honestly an art form at this point.
4) Please forgive me
I just pray that the Whack-a-Mole I played with my pores will be healed by a $12 serum from Target.
5) I'm innocent pose
Now, I have to tuck the gum into the roof of my mouth.
6) The second sun
Yes, please. Go ahead. Deliver my retina to the afterlife. I don't need to see anything anymore.
7) The good girl pose
Mom, remember when I washed the dishes last month? Yeah, that.
8) Power move
Getting scared like I just got caught using a fake ID when it's literally me.
9) Jesse was the total package
She went for a guy who probably has a poster of himself on his wall. Hannah and Jesse would have been iconic.
10) Challenge accepted
I just want to see that eye twitch when I try all these buttons you told me not to push.
11) Deadly combo
I need to organize an award ceremony for people who survive my social interactions.
12) Stealth mode on
I have always been interested in these intricate pavement details.

This is the ultimate Am I model or hostage pose.
14) How, hi (gh) are you?
I will start with minor inconveniences before we can delve into the really bad part.
15) Psychic powers unlocked
*Proceeds to stare into the space as if I'm about to bring world peace.*
16) I'm fine!
It's a full-on emotional hostage situation for me. Let me go or watch me cry.
17) Big moment
I'm just trying to avoid the fatal eye contact. That's it.
18) Shape of you 2.0
I know this plot... but why does this feel different?
19) Cinematic moment
What? Are we supposed to be in a rom-com? Where is the Netflix team?
Whether she’s spending her own money on some new flowers or just taking an inevitable Miley memes break, the girl is laughing her way to the bank and we’re all just along for the ride. Maybe next time, she’ll even buy the internet a few roses for all its hard work.
