It shouldn't be controversial for me to say that we've been in an era of absurdist humor for some time now. I don't know where this taste for silly & goofy comedy originated, but Gen Z and Millennials can't get enough of it. I can tell that absurdist humor has swept the nation because of the Netflix show I Think You Should Leave . It is a sketch comedy show starring and created by former SNL writer Tim Robbinson, and it is just as wacky as you could imagine. Ask any Millennial or Gen Zer who th…

Not all memes are for everybody. They're much like stinky french cheese at a viciously overpriced grocery store. You might smell one and initially think, “Wow, this smells like battery acid. What an unpleasant thing to put in my mouth or near my brain.” However

Fact: Not all Batmans were created equal. Sorry Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson, here's ironclad proof that the best Batman was and will always be Kevin Conroy (RIP).

It's Twitter time

There's been an epidemic sweeping the programming memes community. One meme has positively overtaken r/ProgrammerHumor to the point that it's nearly unuseable. I'm of course talking about, “what's stopping you from coding like this?”

The internet is full of strange oddities that are unparalleled. Where else can you find footage of crazy Karens , TikToks documenting frog armies , and of course, memes . Memes are the things that make all of the incomprehensible weirdness that festers on the internet actually make sense. If you are dumbfounded by something happening online, you're sure to find a meme that can explain it. Sometimes, the meme itself is the part that doesn't make any sense, but we refined meme consumers find a wa…

These are the tip top cosplays and costumes we saw at San Diego Comicon 2022. From the Marvel universe, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy games, and cartoons, there was everything you could imagine coming to life in downtown San Diego. Pop culture's best collection of weirdos, obsessives, and generally awesome individuals all gather in one place once a year. America's Finest City. Now let's go see what all the fuss is about.

Have y'all ever realized that politics can be kind of boring? That's why we're so lucky to have memes to spice current events up with wacky main characters. People who aren't on social media miss out on the fun side of politics facilitated by memes. While the events of January 6th were crazy and memeable in their own right, a new meme man has emerged from the hearings of the storming of the Capitol, and that meme's name is Clark Kent .

Although Batman's Gotham City is allegedly inspired by New York , they are fundamentally different places. Even in the most crime-ridden parts of NYC, having a cast of uniquely themed, colorful villains running around town is unprecedented. That led some Twitter users to wonder, what would it be like to be an average citizen of Gotham City? The discussion started with one Twitter user asking if others would be willing to live in Gotham if the rent was as cheap as $300 per month. Naturally, livi…

Are you tired? Do you want to go back to bed? Are you a sleepy baby who doesn't want to go to your pathetic little job? Well, you don't have to! After all, you're a baby, with no responsibilities or bills or cleaning or anything to do except for consuming media. In fact, it looks like you're on the fast track to becoming an iPad baby. Do you know what an iPad baby is, you ignorant infant? An iPad baby is a gross toddler who can't look away from their filth-encrusted tablet for one second, even…

An internet icon

Honestly, you have to hear these people's explanations—‘The Matrix’ is just ‘Space Jam,’ ‘Us’ is the exact same plot as some Bratz movie?? Come on!

There's a somewhat infamous /tv/ “favorite movie lines” thread on 4chan in which someone humorously misquoted a character from American Psycho saying, "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!" Another user replied, “He didn't say that,” escalating the thread into a barrage of ironic shitposts inspired by the OP's American Psycho joke. For example, an image of Frodo captioned, “That's why I'm the Lord of the Rings , not you Sam.” Putting movie titles in movie lines has since become a p…

Another day, another superhero debate.

From funny emo batman skits, to thorough explanations on why having emo Batman was important—TikTok is the go-to place for everything Emo Batman.

There's a new Batman in town and to the delight of millions of millennials, he's emo, brooding, and a little bit weird. Matt Reeves' The Batman is the pulpy noir that fans of the Caped Crusader's iconic Detective Comics era have been waiting for. Mask of the Phantasm has always been my personal favorite Batman feature, and for me, Reeves' take on Gotham and the inner world of Bruce Wayne is the closest a live-action blockbuster has come to achieving the sort of stylistic world-building that Mas…
