This seems to be such a universal experience.

If you're at all sensitive about cuss words, this ain't the meme for you. Amazon's new hit show 'The Boys' is a story about vigilantes with super powers who try to keep pompous and dangerous superheroes accountable. To say they're a bit rough around the edges would be an understatement, and that's pretty damn evident from this meme. The format is ripped from the series' first episode, in which Billy (played by Australian actor Karl Urban) initiates a fight with a superhero aptly named Translucent. His colorful utterance has been embraced by dank meme making communities on Facebook and Reddit, and shows no signs of slowing down. Here are some of our favorite examples so far.
This meme dump has got it ALL. Memes about dad and the dog, memes about going back to school, and, of course,self-deprecating memes that will make you feel a little less alone. Sit back, relax, and scroll your way to laughter.
Okay, Disney. We have one question for you. Is nothing SACRED?! The entertainment overlords announced yesterday that they're planning to remake the Home Alone films, and people have had a lot of feelings on what we believe to be a disastrous and downright disrespectful idea. Even Macaulay Culkin decided to weigh in on the announcement, with a photo of what Home Alone would look like today. His self-deprecating and relatable post made a huge impression on Twitter, prompting fans to demand a reboot featuring the real Kevin McCallister. Other fans condemned any remake at all. We're honestly in that boat.
Can you believe the beloved Calvin and Hobbes has been around for 34 years already? We know, it's pretty surreal given that many of us grew up looking forward to the comics, created by Bill Watterson, in the newspaper. We love it for its relatable wittiness, adorable charm and the occasional bout of existential dread!
Most people on TV make parenting look easy, but these memes reveal the truth behind raising your little bundles of joy. Temper tantrums, exhaustion, and repeating yourself over. And over. And over. And over again. Here's to you, parents. We don't know how you do it.
The world found more proof this week that anything, and we mean anything, that exists can be meme'd. In late 2018, a few memes started popping up riffing on the old English nursery rhyme "Rain, Rain, Go Away." In the last month, the memes have surged in popularity, with many viral iterations being shared in the r/dankmemes community. The memes, for English-speakers, are nearly hyper-relatable, which explains their popularity. Like most dank memes, this one's longevity is probably limited. We're just counting the days until we see "I'm a Little Teapot" memes or "Jack and Jill" memes. The possibilities might be fleeting, but there are so many to work with.
As we grow older we start to understand why parents occasionally lie to their kids; 1.) because it's funny as hell, and 2.) because sometimes you just don't have the patience to explain things to someone who will either not fully understand or throw a temper tantrum over it.
These poor Twitter users are describing the ridiculous lies their parents told them as kids!
Over the past week Twitter has been blowing up with a very specific meme, one featuring one photo of a crying woman, and another of Ms. Juicy from Little Women: Atlanta staring blankly, looking thoroughly unimpressed. While completely unrelated, the photos are being used to illustrate the experience of explaining something passionately to your very uninterested (or unwavering) mother, or in some cases, a pet. We're just upset that we had to relive the experience of begging for stuff from the Scholastic book fair.
Let's be real: parenting is pretty much the opposite of a walk in the park. That's why we enjoy our friend's children vicariously. No, but seriously. Sleepless nights. Questionable hygiene. Pockets full of crumbs. It's all supposed to be worth it, someday, right? Until that moment clicks, or at least until they're able to go an hour with out demanding attention or having a meltdown, we have memes to help us through.
