Everyone remembers the funny memes from Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3, but a new viral moment has taken its place. Surprisingly, it’s come from a scene in an Apple TV show, not a superhero movie!
It’s usually difficult to say exactly why a meme becomes popular. But with the “Bully Maguire” and “Emo Peter Parker” memes from Spider-Man 3, their recent surge in popularity seems connected to the renewed appreciation for Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man films, especially after his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
However, looking at one of the biggest dance memes of 2025, it’s surprisingly difficult to understand why it became so popular – it even seemed to overtake the famous Tobey Maguire dancing meme in popularity.
Emo Peter Parker Is Still Iconic, But 2025’s Most Viral Dance Meme Was From An Overlooked Jon Hamm Show
I always laugh when I see the famous dancing scene from Spider-Man 3 online. It’s endlessly funny, and it reminds me just how memorable Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films were. Even though the third movie wasn’t a critical success when it came out, memes like this have kept it alive in pop culture.
These days, I see videos of Jon Hamm dancing on social media much more often than any other meme.
Okay, let’s talk about the internet. Right now, everyone is obsessed with a video of Jon Hamm just letting loose and dancing in a club – it’s completely taken over my feed! Honestly, it’s even blowing up more than the “Emo Peter Parker” meme did. That Spider-Man meme made sense when No Way Home came out, and it got another boost when Sam Raimi came back to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But this Jon Hamm clip? It’s a whole other level of viral.
Unlike the widely known Spider-Man, or even Jon Hamm’s more famous roles, the meme featuring him actually comes from a lesser-known Apple TV series called Your Friends & Neighbors.
The Jon Hamm Dancing Meme’s Popularity Has Transcended Its Original Context

The Jon Hamm dancing meme is a perfect example of how something online can become incredibly popular, completely overshadowing where it originally came from. Now, most people using the meme in videos and social media posts don’t even know – or care – about the original Jon Hamm clip.
Even though the meme is a bit much, it’s still good that it’s bringing some extra attention to the Apple TV show, Your Friends and Neighbors, before the new season comes out on April 3, 2026.
