Roasting is a special art form that requires a lot of practiced skill and we salute anyone who's perfected it. And for those being roasted, we salute your willingness to have your appearance and character completely torn apart. Most of us are not nearly that confident and would probably cry tbh.
The r/dankmemes subreddit is currently overflowing with the immensely entertaining Area 51 memes, but if you scroll a little deeper you'll find some memes with a little more philosophical meat. Hiding between jokes about aliens you'll find memes that go in on Nestle for their shitty business practices and negligible ethical code. The memes are a response to a comment from Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a former CEO and chairman of Nestle. Letmathe claimed in a 2005 documentary that calling water a human right is extreme. Pair that with allegations of stealing water, and the Nestle Infant Formula scandal and you've got cause for serious meme-age. While these memes probably won't have any impact on the multi-billion dollar company, we do have to give props to memers that use their craft to raise awareness of issues like this. Here are some of the most scathing and effective memes we've seen yet.
Very little inspires pangs of nostalgia like talk of long, boring, french fry punctuated car trips with your disgruntled family. Reddit user Raheemthegreat decided to liven up his own tedious journey by starting 'Ask Me Anything' in the name of his very annoyed mother. The questions range from fascinating to the stuff that would make any parent consider putting their child up for adoption - and makes us very happy to be past the age of forced road trips.
The internet has been buzzing about cursed images since the dedicated Tumblr went live in 2015, but we just recently became aware of their slightly more positive brethren, the blessed image and the blursed image. The idea of a blessed image is pretty straightforward: an image that is sweet or wholesome, and leaves one feeling happy. Blursed images are a bit harder to pin down. They're generally photos with the same mystique as a cursed image, but not quite as sinister. The r/blursedimages subreddit does a pretty good job of cataloging these types of photos. We've harvested some of the weirder tidbits from the community, but there are a ton more where these came from. Happy scrolling!
Shaggy Rogers of Scooby Doo fame became somewhat of a dank meme god earlier this year. Reddit and Instagram were overflowing with memes depicting the slacker sleuth as a super-powered deity who is not to be messed with. The "Are You Challenging Me" memes that have been popping up on Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook are definitely related to the Shaggy's Power meme - they just leave more to mystery. Memers have been using the format to make meta memes (Kyle/Drywall) as well as to make fun of people who are always ready for a fight. We've put together the cream of the crop but you can peep more over on the Know Your Meme page.
The History Channel has been the subject of a great many memes. While we'll always be grateful for the undying hilarity of Ancient Aliens memes, a new format has been popping off on Reddit and it's pure gold. If you've ever turned on the History Channel in the wee hours and felt like you were hallucinating, this meme's for you. The channel's speculative and alien-filled late-night programming is the subject of 'History Channel At Night' memes, and they're filled with hilarious imagery and brutal truth. Here are some of our favorites.
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has already inspired some seriously amazing memes. Mini Keanu Reeves and Breathtaking memes are still going strong, but it's time to make way for a new E3 format. Nintendo fans will be pleased that Luigi is the star of this trending template, and even more pleased that he's being flanked by two babes. The terrified expression on the character's face (while seemingly cowering from the babes) was just begging to be meme'd, and Reddit and Instagram have stepped up to the plate as per usual. We expect to see a lot more of these memes this week, but here are our favorites so far.
These Redditors may be salty, but we think they have every right to their salt - sometimes people you thought you could trust just do ya wrong and you can never forgive them for that. Honestly they deserve to give these people a piece of their mind, even after all these years!
For a final sprinkle of salt see this other AskReddit thread describing encounters of "Rich Kid Syndrome". Salt. For. Days.
Have you been down on yourself lately? Felt that maybe you're lacking in the intellect department, or not living up to your potential? This hilariously enlightening Reddit thread could be the ego boost you need. User Yurtle asked AskReddit perusers to share the most stupid questions they've even been asked - and the results convey stupidity of epic proportions.
Another thread had people sharing the strangest thing they've ever experienced, and even stranger was a thread where people shared the worst fanboy meltdowns they encountered. AskReddit continues to prove that we are truly a fascinating race.
There's crazy, and then there's a special kind of crazy - this guy's girlfriendis clearly the latter in this wild ride of a story! We're all for animal rights here, but this woman definitely took it to an incredibly unnecessary extreme. Apparently getting eaten alive by bedbugs in your home is not enough of a reason to call an exterminator!
A photo of a math exam has become an unlikely meme format after spending a few years being reblogged on Tumblr. The format started popping up on Reddit back in April, and is being used to describe situations with highly unlikely positive outcomes. We hope to see a lot more of these memes - we're always rooting for the underdog.
Our new favorite shitpost is a real blast from the past. A 1967 episode of Spider-Man is the latest meme fad to annoy redditors and Instagrammers alike. The still features Spider-Man's enemies Rhino, Vulture, Electro and Green Goblin, and is generally used to describe dumb things one might do with "the boys" back in the day. Think typing 80,085 on a calculator. While some people might want to forget their more immature moments, we opt to revel in them. If you like what you see, check out our boys at Ebaum's World. There's more where this genius came from.
