Throughout his eight years in office, President Obama has achieved many things, but today he eclipsed all of them when his illustrated mic drop GIF was named the most popular of 2016 by GIPHY.
An illustrated version of his gesture at the end of the White House Correspondents Dinner speech has come out on top of the 2016 list, which includes Chris Christie reluctantly clapping and, of course, Michael Jordan crying.
In at number three on the list is the sloth GIF from “Zootopia,” which captured a perfect vignette of someone coming to a slow yet amazing realization. The DMV sloth scene was featured in a popular trailer for the animated film..
Another unsurprising addition to the list is a GIF of Leonardo DiCaprio‘s wincing reaction to Lady Gaga brushing past him at the 2016 Golden Globes.
Continuing the election theme on this year’s list is a GIF from “Saturday Night Live” of Kate McKinnon doing her Hillary Clinton impression, asking an aid to “meet my hand in the air” as an alternative interpretation of a high-five.
Check out the full list of the top 25 GIFs of 2016 below:
