Rise and shine

Take the edge off

While I definitely feel like I have a wide variety of music genres that I listen to these days, I was undoubtedly a rock music kid. I grew up in a rock n' roll household and was constantly exposed to the music. I'm also a long-time bass and guitar player. Although I very much vibe with rock music, it was pretty much all that was available to me, so that's what I ran with. Although, I can't understate how big of an impact the first few “Guitar Hero” games had on my musical taste. I can still rol…

Depression is a fickle, frustrating beast. It can come at any time, in any variety, and in any severity. You could have had the best week of your life. Everything going right; work is incredible, friendships are healthy, and social life is stellar. But one day you wake up and that terrible feeling has emerged. You have no idea how long it will last or how bad it will be. All you know is that it's an incredibly awful burden. One that affects every part of your life. But that's the thing about de…

I love getting free stuff . One of the best things about the internet is that most websites are free to access. Sure, Twitter might not be free for long, but it is free for now, and everyone who pays for it is rightfully roasted for paying for it. Memes are one of the most pervasive forms of free entertainment we've got! You have to pay for movies, TV, and books, but never memes. We would never rob you of the opportunity of scrolling through an elaborate list of over thirty memes by asking for…

Thankful for memes

Meme makers are some of the most selfless individuals on this planet. They put in the effort: they find the image, they think of something funny and/or relatable, then they go on to create the meme itself. The thing is most of these content creators know that the meme they have just made now belongs to the internet . They can put a watermark on it or post it on their personal page, but once that meme reaches the online public it's just a fact that it will be shared without credit. Meme creators…

If you're like most people, you've probably spent at least some time slaving away in the greasy, soul-sucking world of fast food. You know the drill: long hours, low pay, and the constant stench of deep-fried despair. Sure, the fast food industry might not be the most glamorous line of work , but it's a rite of passage for many of us. The ultimate character builder. Whether you’re in the trenches of a Taco Bell make-line or the front-of-house target for unhinged middle-aged women, it’s one of t…

Press X to meme

Have you ever considered how much time you spend looking at memes ? Not even intentionally, but just how much you're exposed to memes. I can't say an exact figure, but I'd argue that I spend at least half of my waking hours exposed to the things. They're everywhere. Not just on Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media. You're seeing memes crammed into just about every form of media. Not even just in media format! Your friends, family, and colleagues are directly referencing meme content. Ma…

I often wonder, "How many precious moments of my short life have I spent scrolling through my phone on the toilet? How many hours have I wasted pushing digested food and drink out of my body while watching a YouTube video?" The short answer is that it doesn't matter how long I've spent on the pot. Everyone needs to go to the bathroom, and there's no shame in taking a little break from your normal duties while you're in there. The times in my life when I brought my laptop into the bathroom to ke…

Where there's a review section for a product, you can almost always find gold. Some of the most entertaining reviews can easily be found on sites like Letterboxd , Yelp, and Amazon. Most of the time, the funnier and more bizarre comments tend to be the least helpful, but that's sort of part of the fun. Steam, the world's largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming, is unsurprisingly no exception. Online gamers are already known for being gratuitously crass on the internet. It's no shock…

Few things are as universally amusing as farting, and we're willing to bet that humans have found farts hilarious since the dawn of consciousness. The comedic value of farting surpasses language, geography, and time. In fact, even people with opposing political views may share a chuckle over an unexpected fart, unless they are plagued by feelings of shame. As funny as we find tooting, sometimes the stench cancels out the comedy. Here at Memebase, we choose to revel in the humor of flatulence in…
