It’s the most wonderful time of the year — when Michael Bublé goes mega-viral for his Christmas memes. Several memes of the “Haven’t Met You Yet” singer reemerge every holiday season, an annual occurrence that began after he released his first holiday album, “Christmas,” in 2011. The viral images both celebrate and tease Bublé as a Christmas symbol, suggesting he hibernates until the holiday season comes back around.
The most popular meme depicts the phrase “Christmas is coming” above an edited image of Bublé emerging from a cave, while another shows a frozen Bublé thawing for the holidays. The “Feeling Good” singer poked fun at himself while addressing the memes in an October 2021 TikTok . "Did you ever wonder, 'Why someone would spend that might time in a cave?'" Bublé asks, before the video cuts to him dressed as Batman.
But in a recent interview with TODAY.com, the "Home" singer explains that he didn't find the memes all that funny at first. "I think when it first happened .
.. there was probably insecurity," he says while promoting his new gig as a coach on "The Voice.
" The Canadian singer says "it would be really tough" if the viral Christmas memes were all he had to show for his success, but he's grateful for having "so much work," including his world tours, across his multiyear career. During a 2018 interview with the BBC , Bublé shared his reaction to the memes for the first time, deadpanning that he didn't "find that as funny as ever.
