Stop whatever you’re doing, you’re going to want to see this. Everyone meet Malta Gems, the Instagram account that carefully curates Maltese memes and is pure GOLD. Take a look at our top 10 favs. (Drinking water is not advised: spitakes guaranteed).

1. The infamous gagga ta' Havana

After a night out partying at one of Malta's hottest clubs, everyone's bound to be a little tired. But, if you're one of those who used to go at it in the club's cage (yes, a literal cage) you'll definitely be slumped by the end of the night.

2. Eileen Montesin (ovja)

It wouldn’t be a Maltese meme page without the mention of local icon Eileen Montesin. The meme page posted an old post related to Ira Losco’s 2002 Eurovision performance of Seventh Wonder. In a nutshell, Montesin expresses she’ll BREAK THE TV if Ira doesn’t go through, and the page motions to bring her back as a commentator. We second this.

3. ARA DORIS

Eileen strikes again. The legendary “Ara Doris, HELLO!” at the opening of the 2006 Carnival in Valletta. Oh geez, gets us every time. Excuse us while we catch our breath.

4. After a night out

“This is how you feel after three vodka coke,” writes the meme page. To that we say, biss?

5. MARA RAGEL

Sweet baby, Jesus. Y’all know the ‘mara ragel’ clip and this is the one! The offensive slur (which totally misgenders people) made the rounds after the video went viral.

6. Shana tboss

“When you realise this heat is going to last till December” you make this Mary Rose Mallia face. #Accurate

7. Zibel vibes

Yup. “When you’re super drunk but your friend brings another tray of tequila shots.” We’ve been there, done that, and like every person who's ever lived, we say we’re not going back. But, then the weekend rolls around and whoops! Our little friend tequila is back. And the cycle continues…

8. Literally every girl group

“Girl, I’ve got something to tell you!” Us: at the ready with the wine to listen to what ever she’s gotten up to that requires the wine in the first place.

9. Mary Rose Mallia

Mary Rose Mallia, the star of Maltese culture to you and me, always knew how to put on a show and this meme is gold. The notorious party of Lost and Found tends to get on people’s nerves, especially those living in Bugibba (the party’s location).

10. Government officials

And of course, a jab at the Maltese Government is a must. “Real time footage at the Government offices while I swear while trying to get in touch.” #Truth
