Whenever my brain isn't operating at its most optimal level, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill and restorative time to start working to its best ability, even if the best is a pitiful, nearly vegetative hum. You can't be overdoing it by reading a book or trying to learn Spanish with the help of a dumb app. No, it's during these desperate and mind-numbing moments that we turn to memes. Let's face it: Most memes don't require a lot of intellectual ability. And they're…

Greetings, friends. There's no denying it. As I'm sure my fellow users of the world wide web can attest to, hell is upon us. No, we're not talking about Donald Trump being allowed on Twitter. We're talking about the madness of Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Say what you will about Covid-19, but I was perfectly happy to sit at home, with friends, enjoying a big meal, maybe a bigger amount of wine, and some happy conversation. The years of Friendsgiving were marvelous. No overly concerned grannie…

It isn't easy to articulate just how much of a fan of South Park I was as a tween. When I tell you I was obsessed, it doesn't even begin to cover how much I loved this program. I had a tin South Park lunchbox. I wore a recreation of Kyle's hat during the wintertime. I even wrote a parody of the hit song Call Me Maybe to make it about South Park. I loved that South Park exposed me to different current events that I was too young to have been aware of at the time. I was pretty smug walking around…

Twitter is like an uber-productive and relatively consistent joke factory. It's true that some of the time it churns out some real annoying crap that we try to avoid, but we can usually find some clever jokes, hot takes, and surprisingly astute shower thoughts at any point while doomscrolling through the app. Globally, there are over 206 million people who use Twitter daily , so the constant flow of content can feel kind of daunting, but that's why we curate some of the funniest and freshest tw…

Pete Davidson is the new must-have in Hollywood

I just absolutely love waking up each day, wondering how the hell Elon Musk will manage to screw Twitter up more than he already has. And by screw it up, we kind of mean make it better. Because while some people may think they're tired, the parody accounts are simply killing it lately. And by killing it, we kind of (definitely) mean causing predatory companies to lose a f*ck ton of money. Anyway. We know that not everyone enjoys watching annoying people freak out about the inevitable demise of…

Have y'all heard the big news? Well, I guess it's more like rumors. According to a report from Platformer , Elon Musk is now considering the idea of putting Twitter behind a paywall. The report reads that “One such plan might allow everyone to use Twitter for a limited amount of time each month but require a subscription to continue browsing, the person said.” Frankly, this is a terrible idea. People are already tweeting (a lot) about their dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Mus…

“When baby is riding, the protecting people should company to insure the safety.”

It feels like one day we were going about our lives in early October, and Halloween was a distant event in our bleak futures. And then, suddenly, BAM! The entire internet was brimming with memes using the new-ish Spirit Halloween costume format. While people have been making this kind of parody meme since 2019, the format completely exploded this month - to the point where the company itself is in on the joke, and the #SpiritHallowmeme hashtag is now a thing. Spirit Halloween even tweeted a tem…

Every morning I wake up to my iPhone's alarm and proceed to do all my silly little tasks until 9 pm when the cycle starts over again. When I was a kid, I had no idea how much of my day would be filled with annoying responsibilities. Feeding the cat is one thing, but I never thought I'd spend so much of my precious time wiping down surfaces. Whoever made those damn wipes was a genius. A genius, who unlike me, is probably free from the shackles of a 2-hour commute. Or, you know, dead. Anyway. The…

Sometimes this fleeting existence feels kind of pointless. You know, “life's a b*tch and then you die” type vibes. It really does feel as though this is meant to be a struggle, living tiny paycheck to tiny paycheck, while some person who says "yes" or "no" lives lavishly and luxuriously thanks to our hard work. While we try not to think of the sad reality in our day to day lives, it has become increasingly hard to ignore. But when the going gets tough, and reality begins crushing our poor, sad,…

We're all well aware that the Twitter hellscape has a lot to offer in the comedy department. Funny writers and aspiring humorists manage to craft short and sweet tweets packed with a whole lot of cleverness and publish them freely for netizens to enjoy. There's just one tiny problem: there is a whole lot of unpleasantry and even vitriol on the site as well. Political arguments, bad takes , and relentless trolls are ever-present. To save you from all that grossness and aggression, we've collecte…

What happens when you mix a teaspoon of innocent first world anarchy with cringey people of the internet? They're called mad lads. A mad lad, or madlad, is defined as follows by Know Your Meme: “Mad Lad , also spelled Madlad , is a slang term that is used to describe someone doing something that is crazy and unexpected, but can also be used in a sarcastic manner for someone doing something that is not hard to do or crazy — sharing similarities to the lol so random meme. The term is commonly use…

When I was a kid I used to sit in my basement and watch the same damn movies over and over again. Pocahontas, Wild America, Independence Day, The Goonies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). It's true that we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading "track00…

One of the most pressing questions that have haunted friend groups for the past 30 years is, “which Seinfeld character am I?” Whether you're a Jerry, a George, an Elaine, or a Kramer is a difficult puzzle to solve, as we are all different Seinfeld characters depending on which friend group you're in. For instance, when I was 19 and one of the only people in my friend group doing standup comedy, I felt like Jerry. When I was a neurotic middle schooler who could not dance and had primarily male f…

Twitter is a wild place. For one, it can be an incredibly toxic place. The anonymity that the internet provides is something of a blanket to sinister types who live to antagonize strangers. The trolling, and even straight-up bullying, is everywhere. So why exactly do we spend so much time on the godforsaken site? It could be because we're masochists. But it could also be because there's actually some good mixed in amongst the vitriol. The good comes in the form of clever tweets from comedians (…
