Since 'Kyle' memes have been blowing up all over the internet, we wanted to show some respect to Karen memes, the first Caucasian K-named stereotypes to steal our hearts. These manager-lovin' memes really never get old.
Memes
Memes are basically just hilarious inside-jokes on the internet that are the only source of joy for some people.
Wow, that went dark fast.
Big news, y'all: King of the Hill's Bobby Hill has officially joined the ranks of Lisa Simpson, Spider-Man, and Steven Crowder as the star of a meme that speaks unpopular truths. While we definitely didn't need another one of these formats, this scene from the 2009 episode "Born Again on the Fourth of July" does its job well. The scene depicts Bobby Hill (who has just become a born-again Christian) taunting people who are trying to learn English with a sign that says "Repent sinners! You're all going to hell!" The added element of their ignorance adds a new layer to the oft-boring unpopular opinion formats. It's perfect for using on people like anti-vaxxers and Karens. We've put together some of our favorites, but we're hoping that the meme's versatility inspires y'all to make your own.
It's been almost three months since Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released, and the game shows no signs of cooling down - at least according to our social media feeds. The Nintendo offering seems to appeal to people of walks of life, especially during a time where it often feels like there's absolutely nothing to do. Just like with any craze, the obsession with Animal Crossing has resulted in many fan communities and a crap ton of memes geared at fans. We've put some of the freshest and funniest together right here for easy scrolling, but if you want more, check out r/animalcrossingmeme. The subreddit is constantly being updated with funny tidbits that any turnip-buying freak will enjoy.
As brutal as the lockdowns and quarantine have felt, we like to look for silver linings. For many of us, this means more excuses to escape reality via television and movies. Action films are high up on our list of escapist genres. There's something weirdly therapeutic about watching a character kick major ass. Instagram meme creators such as @snackytuna and @bread_loafington take the heroes (think Sylvester Stallone and Mr. T) of testosterone-filled movies and make them the subjects of some seriously relatable and self-deprecating memes. While the image macros don't pass the Bechdel test, they're still extremely entertaining. If you like what you see, give these accounts a follow on Instagram. We think they deserve it.
Old or young, smart or dumb, pretty much anyone can agree that this assortment of memes speaks the truth and is relatable AF. This batch features the perfect combination of fresh memes (Hello, Joker), classic themes (the pains of being in school) and even a dash of dark humor.
With much of the world in lockdown right now, our weekend "plans" are pretty much nonexistant. Unless you think that baking bread is something to look forward to, which is the case for most of our Instagram feeds. Fortunately, scrolling memes never goes out of style and can help you waste a surprising amount of time. And we've got a whole lot of them right here for you.
As if parenting wasn't already a slightly-gratifying nightmare, the quarantine and home-schooling are making it increasingly difficult to stay sane. If you're suddenly feeling more violent and frustrated than usual, you're not alone. Raising kids is already a full time job. Now there's almost zero time to take care of yourselves. The good news is that you're not alone. And these amusing memes about the trials and tribulations of parenthood are pretty great proof. If you're lucky, they may even elicit a rare laugh from your exhausted body.
Whether you're single and trying to manage the "dating thing" while in quarantine, or you've got a ball and chain, these memes will remind you of the absolute joys of looking for love. It can be a pain in the ass in either situation, but at least you know you're not alone in the struggle.
Life has its fair share of struggles, a few happy points, and a lot of dumb facepalm moments that we can't help but laugh at. These relatable memes reflect all three of these categories. It's important to realize that you're not alone, even when you might feel like it.
In trying times, Millennials turn to memes for generational solidarity, dumb humor, and temporary distraction from crippling existential dread. But while we all continue to scroll our pain away on the daily, rarely do we ever stop and think about the people behind the scenes who work tirelessly to provide us with top-notch content so that we may not die from boredom. Our mission is to find the creators behind the memes that make our lives that much more bearable.
In this installment, we caught up with Margeaux, a 27-year-old Brooklyn-based meme creator and the brains behind the Instagram account @spilledmyjuice, to talk with her about her creative process.
