Jankon Betoni is another classic.

Jankon betoni means rougly translated "Jankko's cement"

Sketch consist of some angry contractor/worker calling Jankko (the big guy) complaining about how they either did not deliver the cement products that they ordered, or they came, but were late and broken. All Jankko does is answer "joo" which means yes or "Asia kunnossa" which means It is ok". Then he starts throwing stuff around his office.

I and many others think that it is very funny.

When I play HnH with my Finnish fellows, we sometimes refer to Jankon Betoni when something goes wrong (for example, when a wall is built so that you can not build a gate in a place that you were planning to build a gate)

Another classic from Finland is this picture, which is often used.

It originates from this old sketch.
https://youtu.be/jB8S0JyN5Z0
Tonnin seteli - 1000 mark bill.
In the sketch, a man buys a small coffee and a waffle, costing 8 finnish marks. The man who buys them does not have any smaller money than bill of 1000 marks, so he pays with it. But then the guy who sold the coffee gives him only few coins back as a change. The man who bought the coffee looks confused because of the small amount of change and starts asking if he gave him a 1000 mark bill. But the salesperson does nothing but stares him with an empty glaze.

I met him once, our one, and he honestly was such a dick, there were loads of celebs there from all over the world, all acting perfectly normally and chatting with everyone and then Chris arrived ... he made a late entrance, flew in by helicopter and had a whole entourage with him, he then stood next to me at the bar and handed me some chewing gum in a tissue because he thought I might like to keep it ... :roll: ... :|

The best one I can think of isn't a meme per se, but it is a long running joke. Steven Bradbury, Australia's first winter Olympian to win a gold medal. Watch the video below to understand why. The term "pulling off a Bradbury" is often used in Australia.

This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Heh... I completely forgot about Hiddleston being in the Avengers lineup. I stand corrected, then!
