The four day weekend that many people have for Christmas is the perfect time to binge-watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy. That is, if you haven't used lockdowns and quarantines to do that several times already. For the rare breed that's exhausted their binge-watching abilities, we offer this sizeable collection of hilarious and mostly-fresh Lord of the Rings memes. They're the perfect compromise for fans of all things Tolkien - and will help keep you from burning out until the next marathon viewing of your favorite movies. 

The Jewish tradition of eating Chinese food on Christmas is well-documented in the media, but have you ever wondered how that started? Well, it's a lot more than a trope. Twitter user @kehillahjewess composed a brilliant thread to demystify the holiday ritual on Christmas Eve, and the historical roots are pretty damn fascinating. Turns out the stereotype goes way deeper than the simple fact that Chinese restaurants are some of the only businesses open on the Christian holiday. 

Holy mother of entitled a-holes, y'all! 

We don't like stereotyping people, but we all know the classic trope of the "bridezilla" who has to have everything her way and will stop at absolutely nothing to get it. To an extent, we sort of understand that behavior - planning a wedding is an incredibly stressful thing after all. However, this insane bride took the whole "entitled" thing waaay too far. It's really no surprise that she's on her third marriage!

We don't think that anyone needs an excuse to peruse memes. We think its our right to indulge in procrasturbatory meme-scrolling. It feels like life's been giving us so few rewards lately. We absolutely deserve some memes as a treat. And there are a whole lot of 'em right here.

Awww yeah, Saturday night! Unfortunately for most of us stateside, this means chilling at home. Again. But we're here to make that house arrest experience a little more funny. With memes.

History memes, but make them spicy! These funny tidbits are for people who like their educational comedy with a little extra edge. Just make sure that your ultra PC friends don't see 'em and we good.

Every now and then I'll be walking around, minding my own business, going about my boring life, when someone does something so overwhelmingly stupid I need at least a few minutes to recover. It's so easy to forget that we share the world with stupid people. These moments and photos are a reminder that you should never give people too much credit. They'll disappoint you.

Being a human can be so complicated. We're plagued with neuroses, complex responsibilities, and the knowledge that much of this existence is absolutely pointless. Animals (most of the time) lead a simpler existence. They also happen to be the subject of some exquisitely dumb, wholesome, and even spicy memes. Which are a great albeit temporary antidote to our very human suffering. 

There's been a lot of talk about Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winning Parasite, but this true and incredibly disturbing story kind of trumps it. Horror writer Grady Hendrix shared a chilling tale back in October about innocent food-sneaking gone incredibly wrong. Kids are known for sneaking around, and one night when Hendrix intended to sneak-eat his family's leftovers, he discovered a strange man in his kitchen consuming the contents of the family fridge. It doesn't stop there. His family didn't believe him, but later, some disturbing proof of his "run-in" comes to light. And we are not envious of the experience. 

As crotchety millennials, it's pretty rare that we see a Disney Channel meme that we like. But today we are actually pretty into this format that hails from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. This meme's all about unspoken rules - like the fact that you have to click tongs to test them, or pet your dog every time you walk by the beloved creature. It features hotel manager Mr. Moseby screaming "It's the law!" and its been spreading like wildfire over the last year in normie meme communities as well as ones devoted to gaming. And most of them, as you can see here, are pretty damn hard to argue with. s

Whoever said sleep is for the weak was wrong. Dead wrong. Sleep is precious. Especially when you have a hard time achieving it. Whether your insomnia is due to unreasonable caffeine intake or crippling anxiety, these memes about irregular sleep schedules will probably resonate with you. And if you can't sleep, they'll give you something to do that isn't overthinking every single aspect of your life. Win-win! 

These pics are the definition of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." But at least they're incredibly entertaining for us, right? Now go check out some more fail-y pics via Fail Blog!

Scrolling through memes may be considered by some to be a frivolous pastime, but we're of the mind that frivolity has never been a crime. Memes are actually an insanely easy (and cheap) way to pepper your monotonous life with a little pleasure. And we've got fifty of 'em right here for you.
