Just when the internet thought that 2016 could not be more meme-worthy, what with the iPhone 7 launch and Pierce Brosnan’s turbulent relationship with Pan Bahar, PM Narendra Modi decided to challenge that. Modi announced that Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes will not be considered legal, effective midnight. There will be new Rs 500 notes and Rs 2000 notes issued in some time. As a bold move against corruption and influx of black money in our economy, the PM has managed to send the country into a collective meltdown caused the internet to, not surprisingly, work overtime.
I have a 500. I have a 1000. Uh! Can’t even buy 1 PineapplePen. #BlackMoney

Pro-tip:
Hospitals have to accept Rs 500 and 1000 notes.
So, don’t go to the ATM.
Get a disease.
And, go to AIIMS.#BlackMoney— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) November 8, 2016
Instead of declaring 500 & 1000 Rs notes illegal, Govt should replace Mahatma Gandhi’s photo with Rahul Gandhi’s to change valuation to 0.

The only person safe from this #blackmoney move is Bappi Lahiri. He converted all cash in gold.

While there were many (and we’re talking MANY) jokes, a lot of people applauded Modi for TRUMP-ing America in the internet thunder stakes.
We stole your thunder USA!
