Osama bin Laden is dead, and America is rejoicing. The al Qaeda leader was shot down by Navy Seals in a mansion near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad late Sunday night. This came almost ten years to the day that the official manhunt began, and many are crediting President Barack Obama with the success.

And like any good conflict in the 21st Century, memes were born from the resolution. The internet highway blew up post-Osama with hilarious pictures and quotes making light of a situation that plagued so many for so long. We've gone through and collected some of the best memes.
