Memes

With all the misfortune life likes to throw at people, there are moments when life has a way of singling certain people and things out in a way that's so unfair, it just becomes funny. To think that the universe has an agenda against one particular person or thing may be severe, but sometimes it sure seems like it.

PETA's marketing team had a serious win yesterday after releasing their chart of alternatives to "anti-animal language." If you missed this, check out our post here. The reactions and trolling have been hilarious, and now people are creating their own memey parodies of the chart. And guess what? They're damn good.

Honestly we're not sure if we even love or hate puns. These clever jokes and witty jokes just kind of exist. Some puns satiate our wordplay cravings while others just make us mad. Some make us feel smart for liking them, others make us feel stupid. They're just never going away.

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.

Take a look at some of these hilariously bad (but not wrong) plot summaries, and if you want more funny movie-related content, try this!

Remember those Time Machine memes we covered last week? Well, they haven't shown any sign of disappearing from our timeline. The very gender-oriented format plays with many themes, but most often imagines men and women doing very different things with time-traveling technology. While the format often imagines doing something just and noble with the time machines, sometimes the boy (or girl) in question chooses to do something entirely pointless. Either way, we're loving the memes. We've put together some of favorite new iterations, but you can read more about the format (and enjoy more examples) over at Know Your Meme

2020 is a f*cken wash, y'all, and we are over it. As is such, please have some depressing memes that will remind you of how much everything sucks. eBaum's World has more 2020-specific content here.

Most people these days have that person in their phone saved as 'Satan,' or a similar person who you really, really don't want to hear from. Maybe they cheated or maybe they ghosted you. But chances are when you hear from these exes, you're probably not very happy about it. That's how these former lovers felt when their old flame's came back a-knockin', but they handled the solicitations with sass, spite, and a whole lot of confidence. 

Got that right! Cats have some serious (and seriously cute) attitude. It's just who they are. And honestly, can we blame them? 

The answer is no, no we cannot. In fact, we think they just might be even cuter...if that's even possible. Cats with attitude, it's cute to watch as they finally express some emotion! Even if it is just staring at you with the evil glare as you sit comfortably watching TV while their food bowl is only half full. We all know that glare! 

But you know what even better than just awwdorable cats glaring and showing off their attitude? Showing it off and becoming a very entertaining and relatable meme!  

"Whitest Whites" is a hilarious meme devoted to making fun of white people stereotypes. They're sure to make you allergic to spicy foods!

Don't show these memes to your mom. 

Adulthood is hard, luckily it makes for some hysterical memes! 

If you're getting used to seeing friends, going to the office, or dining out, don't get too comfortable. The United States is grappling with some record highs in new cases and the threat of some seriously contagious new strain variants. To remind us of what may be in store if people don't take proper precautions, we've put together this time capsule of memes from 2020, when things were especially bleak. Let's try not to press rewind, y'all.
