Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads  "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.

Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.

If you've ever tuned into Evangelical Christian television, you're already aware of its inherently cringey qualities. But today we're here to offer up some vintage Christian cringe that feels like something right out of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. The video comes courtesy of Twitter user @RebekaDawn, and it's an incredible spectacle of awkward snapping, dramatic beats, and some seriously goofy choreography. We've included the video below, along with some more wince-worthy Christian rap and some of the more clever and incredulous reactions. Our next move? Probably practicing these dances in the mirror.

There's no limit to what people will try to sell online. Whether it's a chair strapped to a sheep, chicken nuggets shaped like video game characters, or a $7 million Soviet-era submarine—the insane listings we come across on Craigslist and eBay are entertaining at the very least. There's no doubt some of these posts are simply meant to make people laugh. Or maybe the guy trying to sell used coffins is really just hoping they'll end up on r/CrackheadCraigslist. You've got to wonder, do people ever buy the joke? 

Whether it's Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, or Moana that you fancy out of the big-name Disney films, we're pretty sure this collection of memes has a little something for everyone. And if you're craving some Disney content that's a little more unsavory, eBaum's World's got ya covered.

Remember that heavily meme'd image of Pope Francis holding a giant Eucharist wafer in Brazil? Well, it's back in a big way.  Twitter users have been using the tiled "Please Work" meme format to make it look like the Pope is holding up something other than the body of Christ - often an object that is pretty unholy in nature. 

Though some memers have opted with some predictable "haha, the pope is doing drugs" jokes, others have gotten more creative with their imagery, going with more grisly or absurd humor. While there's been an unsurprising bit of outrage in the comments, it seems most people are enjoying the goofy and versatile meme for what it is: innocent fun. We've put together some of our favorite examples, but you can read more about the format (and its predecessor) over at Know Your Meme.

Motherhood is anything but a walk in the park. While the responsibility of raising a human being (or three) seems to have its emotional rewards, we can't help but imagine that it's exhausting, and occasionally soul-crushing. These child-rearers, however, seem to cope with that parenting roller coaster via savage senses of humor. We're here for it. 

It's perfectly normal to decompress with a cocktail or beer (or three) but sometimes people take it too far. This can lead to, at best, a brutal hangover - or at worst, a hangover paired with the embarrassment of having done something extremely stupid while under the influence. These people are definitely fall into the latter category.

If you've been at all conscious for literally any part of 2020, you're probably aware that everything has pretty much gone to shit. Between the pandemic, politics, and the general lack of humanity, things have been pretty damn bleak.

We know it's almost tired at this point, but holy crap. 2020 has been brutal. Between all the uncertainty, the election, and (of course) the pandemic, it really feels as if they world has been turned upside down. But what we've really gained with all the sitting at home is time to think. And think. And think. Really have limitless opportunities to ponder the meaning of life. While we're definitely more on the navel-gazing end of the spectrum than philosophers, we definitely have a new appreciation for the many minds who first questioned, well, everything. Here's a meme tribute to those truth-seekers.
