you deserve a break

Home is where the pineapple is

All aboard the mothership

Until next time...

Are you ready kids?

Defying the laws of adulting

Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli

Ruh roh, Scooby-Doo memes

I got in pretty late as a fan of “The Simpsons.” Like a lot of people, I grew up watching reruns, somewhat enjoying them, but mainly just watching them because they led into the “Family Guy” reruns on Fox. That was my young brain. I was way too young for the golden age of Simpsons and not quite at the point of the not-so-great modern Simpsons. It was just a somewhat entertaining show for my elementary school brain. It wasn't until my late teens that I discovered peak, golden age Simpsons. A fri…

What up, nerds? We feature a lot of memes about the latest Marvel movies , Star Wars, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings. Today, we're going in a different direction, and celebrating the wild world of X-Men. The first Fox film that brought the X-Men to life on the big screen was released in 2000, when I was 12 years old. It made a huge impression on me, and I saw it three times in theaters. From Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the fierce yet tormented Wolverine to Patrick Stewart's performance as the…

You know the Ninja Turtles, right? Those sneaker-snapping, belt-biting boys – with real breakdancin’ action! Who fight crime with karate, often with weapons – one time with sausages – but always with pure, uncut 80’s surfer ‘tude coursing through their surprisingly pronounced veins. Okay but did you know about the crass joke they made on Oprah? Well, if not, you're in luck. This... is Canonball.

It's easy to believe that memes are a novel invention of the 21st century. After all, we're so evolved and living in the future; it's no wonder we pioneered this compelling new art form. Unfortunately, we did not invent memes. Not even close. If you look into any newspaper or humor magazine from the early 20th century, you will see cartoons, illustrations, and jokes utilizing the exact same format memes on Memebase use today. Modern people are not as creative as we thought, and everything we've…

Comedy gold

One of the most well-circulated old image macros is the Futurama Fry meme . In it, you see our buddy Fry squinting. The top line typically reads "Not sure if X," with "or just Y" as the bottom line, and is used to represent an internal monologue . It has always felt weird to me that this is the Futurama meme that stuck with people. In my honest opinion, Bender and Zoidberg have far more expressive stills and moments than this one from Fry. But alas, the meme makers of 2012 didn't ask for my opi…

THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Spongebob? The first three seasons of this show defined my childhood, and I lowkey feel bad for all of the kids whose parents didn't allow them to watch it. Whenever a fellow third grader looked me in the eyes and told me they did not know the Ripped Pants song , it broke my heart. When I was a kid, I assumed some parents banned the show because the voices were grating. That was the reason my mom hated The Fairly Odd Parents. Now I realize that…
