The Fu Manchu, the Chevron, the Walrus: We are clearly in the thick of Movember.

The advocacy month has men (and women) the world over growing moustaches for a full 30 days to raise funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer research.

And to help the cause reach new heights, we at HuffPost have taken it upon ourselves to create a new breed of advocates: Movember Moustache Memes. Because, really, there may be few things the Internet loves more than Grumpy Cat and the good ol' hipster handlebar. They really should be using all that attention to do some good.

Enjoy, and learn more about Movember and the cause here.
