Memes
Memes are basically just hilarious inside-jokes on the internet that are the only source of joy for some people. Without memes, they're lost. So don't be like them, and make sure you always have memes at the ready.
Wow, that went dark fast. Also worth checking out the Funny Memes Tag or the often updated listicle of the funnest funny memes -based on advanced internets.
The internet loves toxicity and drama. Accidentally stumbling upon some of the angrier corners of Twitter or Facebook could lead one to believe that boomers are waging waragainst millennials. In reality, the world is full of empathetic people of all ages and backgrounds. Most people wouldn't say 99% of the mean crap they say online to actual, IRL human beings.
We've put together a bunch of wholesome boomer content to remind ourselves that the world ain't so bad sometimes and in fact, life is full of funny and heartwarming little moments like these.

Whether that time is now or you're thinking ahead like a professional procrastinator, we've got a crapload of funny content that will keep you company through the shameless laziness.
We all have that friend who cannot help themselves when it comes to wordplay. They're pun addicts. Sometimes the puns veer towards double entendre and innuendo. Other times it's as though they're channeling a caricature of a Dad who doesn't get out enough and is too confident in his sense of humor. Personally, I find this corny kind of friend to be a joy. What's wrong with taking pleasure in even the most obvious jokes? We should all be enjoying the simple things during our short time on earth. Thanks to this pun-filled gallery, you can start appreciating 'em right this second.
People who suffer from anxiety can't just 'take their mind off things' like others can. It's like trying to clean a room that spontaneously produces more mess. If you're craving a break from an overthinking mind, we unfortunately can't stop you from fixating, but perhaps you can hyper-focus on these relatable memes instead of the unbearable dread.

We've got to hand it to the masterful minds of Twitter. Against all odds, be they pandemics or elections, there's always some jokester churning out short and sweet gems filled with relatable comedy or utter absurdity. We like a healthy mix of the two. But for all the goodness, wading through the political diatribes and K-Pop stans can be exhausting. Finding a good tweet can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack. But instead of hay you're searching through a whole lot of hate, cringe, and weird teenage girls. That's where we come in. Rather than object yourselves to the horrors of the bird app, why not scroll through this carefully curated collection of tweet excellence? We're all about cutting out the middleman when it comes to humor. And we don't even need a "thank you."
Join us on a journey of fun, humor, amusement, and stupidity. That's right, we're going on a trip through another bountiful gallery of memes. This particular batch truly feels as though there's something for everyone. A dash of self-deprecation there. Some history memes here. A sprinkle of basic relatability, and some clever tweets. Whatever your taste, as long as they're not too offensive, it's probably represented here. So without further ado, we present:Memes.
Panic sets in as the dejected pleb watches her bus zoom by. Of course the notoriously late bus picked the day of her important job interview to be three minutes ahead of schedule. She yells and begs the driver to stop as she makes a run for it, arms waving wildly in the air, cold brew sloshing around in her hand. The bus speeds up and she sulks for a moment before considering her options. She can either order a car for $57 or wait twenty minutes for the next bus and pray that the company doesn't reject her outright for being late to the interview. Remembering that all her pending auto-payments just cleared at the same time and put her bank balance at a negative amount, she decides on the latter.
An excruciating minute goes by and she's desperate for something to distract her from the self-deprecating thoughts of inevitable failure and rejection. Luckily, the group chat is on fire, dropping dank memes left and right. Soon enough, the worries start to drift away like she's awakened from a bad dream. She laughs out loud as she scrolls in delight and the sight of such merriment catches the eye of a curious passerby. The onlooker rolls down his window and asks what she's guffawing about. 'Memes!' she replies between chuckles. Deeply inspired by such pure joy, the driver offers her a ride to her destination. Overcome with relief, she accepts. She arrives to the interview early and the prospective employer is so impressed by her positivity that they hire her on the spot. She gives a sly wink to her phone and whispers 'thank you, memes.'

Know Your Meme sat down with Lyle Drescher, aka Therapy Gecko, who is an internet personality, podcaster, and streamer who hosts a call-in livestream show and podcast where guests talk about problems or share stories from their lives. They discuss how he started the show in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, originally on the Reddit Public Access Network before expanding to Twitch, as well as many more things!
According to r/bonehurtingjuice, a meme must intentionally misuse its format in order to qualify as a 'bone hurting juice' meme. It's pretty easy to make one of these memes—one must simply remove the joke, metaphor or original meaning and instead turn the image into a hilariously literal scene. We've collected some of our favorite gems from r/bonehurtingjuice for anyone who can appreciate memes that are all wrong on purpose.
Meme lovers everywhere, it's time to take a moment. 'Arthur', the beloved children's show and seemingly unstoppable meme factory, is soon to be no longer. After 25 years of gracing our screens, it was announced earlier this week that its next season would be its last.
As the longest running US children's animated series, the show has made its mark over the years and it can be seen in its impact on the internet. Countless screencaps and close ups have made their way into the memetic hall of fame, from Arthur's fist to D.W. holding a fence. Comparable only to 'Spongebob Squarepants', the series has proved that kid's programming makes for some surprisingly versatile meme formats and can often deal with very adult topics. At one point, the explicitness of some of the content it inspired was so notorious that the station responsible for creating the series openly condemned it.
However, it has produced an equal amount of memes that are more family friendly, or even just straight up absurd. While we may be saying goodbye to the show for the last time, its impact on meme culture will never be forgotten. Thanks, 'Arthur', for teaching generations of elementary age children that aardvarks exist, and that they're incapable of wearing headphones properly.

A very wise fella by the name of Mark Twain once said, 'against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.' Before you go rolling your eyes at us, take a minute to really consider this. Imagine how powerful we'd all be if we laughed in the face of bad vibes rather than cower from them. Instead of meditating on all the stressful crap looming over you, why not indulge in some hilariously dumb memes and strengthen the pleasure centers of that big brain of yours.
The internet is a mysterious place. No one can predict which mundane image will become the next hottest meme template or which absurdly dumb phrase will go viral and appear in the comment section of every meme account for a week straight. If you follow popular Instagram shitposting accounts like @on_a_downward_spiral, you might have noticed an influx of 'I forgor 💀' comments. What does it mean? Well, the phrase is literally an intentional misspelling of 'I forgot,' but the meme started in February when Twitter user @ItsNotSeabass tagged Walmart in a tweet vaguely inquiring about a question. Walmart's customer service account @walmarthelp promptly asked how they could assist and @ItsNotSeabass replied, 'I forgor 💀.' The Twitter exchange went viral and those in on the joke started taking the phrase out of context to use as a funny response to other memes.
Memes die all the time, but sometimes they're reborn into something far more absurd than their origin. Such is the case for 'I forgor.' Recently, shitpost accounts have incorporated the nonsensical expression into memes like 'I have two sides.' @on_a_downward_spiral posted so many variations of the meme that their followers begged for it to stop. Some took to Twitter to express their undying hatred for the meme. But why did people think it was funny in the first place? It's kind of like when little kids come up with inside jokes simply by thinking everything is hilarious. On the internet, jokes don't necessarily have to be funny in order to become popular. The feeling of being in on a joke is often enough for those participating in making something stupid go viral.
If you're still reading and your last two braincells have made it this far, then it's about time you scroll through some 'I forgor' memes to get the full experience.
Ah, memes. They are incredibly versatile in regards to subject. And yet they can be so specific. Want a meme about being a debt collector? They exist. Prefer your memes to be more broad in nature, or generally relatable? Those memes are everywhere. It's as though there's a funny pic for any whim or mood felt by a human - even ancient folk who have spent most of their lives without the internet. This extremely varied gallery is here to back us up.
If you've been wondering about some cryptic memes floating around lately that involve a hidden Goku and a mysterious red circle, wonder no further, because we can explain. It all started with an illustration tweeted by @Scope479 depicting characters from the dark indie RPG Omori. In the image, a bright red circle highlights the intertwined hands of two characters in the left corner while Goku poses conspicuously in the right corner.
The tweet went viral and many were dumbfounded by how they could have fallen for such an obvious visual red herring. The trollish meme inspired a spate of copycats and tongue-in-cheek references to the original. Some versions of the meme took the troll a bit further and simply depicted a red circle in an arbitrary, Goku-less image. After nearly a month of 'Where's Goku?' memes circulating across all social media platforms, the hollow red circle now evokes the haunting image of Goku in the mind of the shitposter. When Twitter user @Mike302 pointed out the hidden arrow in FedEx's logo, those scarred by the trauma of searching for Goku in the pixels of hundreds of images were triggered and demanded to know the location of Goku.
Keep scrolling for some key memes and posts from the 'Where's Goku?' saga. And if you're still confused, Know Your Meme did a whole video explaining the meme in depth.
Depending on the generation you belong to, the way you think about the internet might significantly differ from someone much older or younger than you. One (presumably young) redditor asked the 'elders' of Reddit to explain the meaning of slang from the early internet days of yore. Not only did veterans of the net get into archaic terminology, they reminisced about messenger platforms like AIM and ICQ, illegally downloading songs, emoticons, forums and funny chat room dynamics. You can't help but detect a tinge of wistfulness in each response, even when one redditor recounts the traumatic experience of seeing 'goatse' for the first time. Keep scrolling for some amusing highlights from the thread.
