If you cast your mind back just three weeks, the internet imploded over the news that Justin Timberlake had been arrested in the Hamptons in New York.
The pop singer and actor was arrested in Sag Harbor and released without bail after his BMW ran a stop sign, before drifting into another lane.
The officer on the scene determined the recording artist was "in an intoxicated condition" so he was "placed under arrest, processed and held overnight for morning arraignment," a police statement said.
After being pulled over, Timberlake maintained he only had "one martini" but he refused to take a breathalyser and failed a field sobriety test.
This would be enough of a scandal to inspire countless memes but then more information came to light over what Timberlake had allegedly said when he was arrested.
According to Page Six, the police officer who arrested the 43-year-old was "so young that he didn’t even know" who the singer was. Then came one of the most iconic conversations this year:
"This is going to ruin the tour," Justin reportedly said under his breath.
"What tour?" the cop queried.
"The world tour," Justin replied.
And with that, a new meme was born.
