I know everyone and their mom is playing Elden Ring right now, but there are lots of other 2022 releases to look forward to. Kirby and the Forgotten Land and its highly anticipated “mouthful mode” comes out this month. Fantasy action-RPG Forspoken comes out in May. Bethesda's Starfield (dubbed “ Skyrim in space") comes out in November. And we all know that with each big hit comes a wealth of new gaming memes. Whether you're in between bosses in Elden Ring and need a break, or you're waiting for…

The world can be a very cold and unfeeling place. While it is true that we speak from a place of privilege , going back to normal isn't feeling that hot. Being forced to commute to prison-like offices feels kind of awful, and while the thought of partying with friends is cool, the reality of dressing up, going to a bar or club, and being surrounded by strangers kind of blows. It is a pretty confusing time. One of the only comforts we can turn to during this complicated time is the world wide we…

Culturally, things have never been more bizarre. “This could be an Onion article” or “this feels like an episode of Black Mirror " doesn't even cut it anymore. Society has outdone itself with the insufferable cringe, and it's only going to get worse. Sooner or later, so-called “disruptors” and “innovators” of “culture” are going to try and ruin memes for the rest of us, and we can't let that happen. No matter how dystopian the internet feels in a decade, even if our experience of cyberspace is…

Lord of the Rings memes are more than a form of entertainment for us here at Memebase. They are actually a lifestyle. That's why we carefully curate a weekly collection of the silly and often sweetly stupid gems. While many of the Lord of the Rings memes we harvest hail from the dark corners of Reddit, we also spend a lot of time perusing the world of LOTR shitposts on Facebook. It may be a scary website filled with misinformed boomers and married couples with joint accounts, but there are stil…

The fact that Reddit makes it impossible for its users to change their usernames is both cruel and hilarious. It's fun to think about how all the teenaged trolls in 2005 who chose crass usernames for a laugh are now thirty-somethings making heartfelt points about serious issues from accounts called “I_Like_Boobies_69” and “StinkyButthole420." There are so many examples of funny times the username didn't check out that there's a whole subreddit called r/rimjob_steve dedicated to documenting thes…

Smooth brains only

Nothin' better than memes.

Four years ago, redditor and D&D gamer u/Doomdecahedron shared a tragic tale about a Brass Dragon named Barnaby. "He was like a puppy," said u/Doomdecahedron, "He gave us shade from the desert sun with his wings and wanted to hear all about our adventures. When we tried to leave, he got real sad and told us to keep talking with him." One day, their bard charmed Barnaby so that he would gather goods to throw the PCs a party when they planned to return four moons from the time they left, which Ba…

You know those clichés that always turn up on mugs in a quaint handwritten font, like “don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" or “I hate Mondays?" These sorts of platitudes don't become popular for no reason—there's always some truth there. But do you ever think that maybe the whole over-caffeinated Monday-hating grouch stereotype is just a shallow facade and in reality most people just hate their shitty 9-5 jobs but can't do much about it and so they find something abstract to blame, like…

Easy on the eye

It's been a pretty rough couple of years for people who work in healthcare . And even that is an understatement. Thousands of people are still dying from Covid-19 every day, and we don't hear anyone cheering for healthcare workers at 7pm. Gone is the banging on pots and pans. Gone are the discounts for much-needed lunches. It's as though people have forgotten the heroes who help people who need it every day - and not just during a pandemic. Before and after our current crisis, we know that tire…

They've got attitude.

If you hate having a decent time sprinkled with light amounts of laughter and smiling, then you should quickly press the "back" arrow on your web browser. We're here to share memes that are just okay , alongside ones that are straight up weird and deal with current events. So while this collection could be considered garbage to meme snobs, negative Nancys and haters of easy humor, it has a lot to offer. We're talking memes about this Russia and Ukraine situation. We're talking relatable anti-wo…

Happy Tuesday to those who celebrate. We do. It's true that Tuesdays can be hard. The end of the week feels very distant, almost as distant as Valinor. On this hallowed day of the week, as weary as we may be, we pause for something important. Humor. Very, very specific humor. Tuesdays are for Lord of the Rings memes, and we are pleased to bring you another batch of our favorite kind of content. This week's memes are rather diverse. Yes, there are a few that deal with Amazon's Rings of Power. Bu…

Scrolling through a bunch of random memes is a lot like browsing a Las Vegas buffet that takes up half the floor of a casino, or one of those huge midwestern diner menus that has so many pages they had to put it in a binder, or the impressive charcuterie board at your distant relative's wedding. 80% of the goods likely won't be to your taste, but when that one shrimp cocktail hits, it really hits. On the other hand, maybe you're not picky at all and love a little bit of everything handed to you…

Picture this. Your boss is coming over for dinner. It's a big deal - so you're preparing a gorgeous roast. Only the best for the Superintendent. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Just after your esteemed guest arrives, you realize the roast is burnt. “Oh, egads!” you exclaim in the privacy of the smoke-filled kitchen. “My roast is ruined! But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?” The thought tickles you. “Delightfully devilish, Seymour.” Before you ca…
