Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Can I ask where people got the thing about the 'coughing' entry in google images? I posted that on my fb about 5 days ago, courtesy of my brother's friend, and I'm pretty sure it originated with him, and I'm not friends w any of you on fb.
Did he start a thing that went viral?

There was a tumblr dedicated to it a few years back.
