The animals that had 2024 in a chokehold

The horse who went to Turkey

A film that I am both so excited and yet so nervous to watch. Two things can be true at the same time! An expected harrowing watch as two national treasures fall in love, have a child and then face a terminal diagnosis, it is one of 2025's most talked about tragic romcoms. However, We Live In Time got lips smacking back in 2024 with its initial film poster, that featured the protagonists and a spotlight hogging horse who looked like he'd done a season in Turkey and an all nighter in Bristol. Veneers and pupils the size of my fist? Groundbreaking.

Moo deng, the slimy pork

A baby pygmy hippo who went viral because she's *sassy* (that one was for you my Millenial huns) and super slimy. She does look like a strip of charcoal toothpaste on my toothbrush, only slimier. Pure grease. one pat of moo deng and your hand would simply be dripping. wet floor sign activated. she is doing bits for Thailand's tourist board however (which helps me sleep at night, given my foiled plans to visit Thailand-i don't know how Bangkok would cope without another SW Ldn girl drinking a fish bowl in the name of culture)!!!!

The meme loyally used in every Millenial WhatsApp group chat

Another one for the Milleniali. This dog earned his strips by being the face of the doge meme, loved by millenials and Elon Musk alike. Trump's number 1 slut!!!, and apparent economic advisor to Don, Elon Musky named his Department of Government Efficicency as a wink, wink, nudge, nudge to the Doge meme. It's a weird link and then DogeCoin came and made it all weirder.

Snoop Dogg became a sporting legend

For some reason, Snoop Doggy Dogg could be spotted at basically every event of the 2024 Olympics. You call it patriotism, I call it teaching an old dog new tricks. Woof. I am glad he used his leggy ways for some good.

Mokey Man

Robbie Williams screaming, "for the next 2 hours your ass is mine" but in the form of a CGI monkey was not on my 2024 bingo card.. but i've never been more thrilled to hand over my ass, gift wrapped, and bestow it to such a charismatic monkey man. The ex Take That member told his life story and rocky road to fame via a personified monkey man (because it's Robbie Williams and he will always be the one saying "let's do a silly one!!" at school picture day). He's a kook! He's manic pixy dream boy (chimp) who looks concerningly hot stuff in his blonde buzz and adidas era...
