Lounging, lazing, and vegging out often make us feel guilty. Society is whispering in our ears, telling us we need to be productive, that we should be constantly moving, working, socializing, whatever. But the weekend is a time when you really, really, shouldn't have to feel any remorse for f*cking around. If you want to eat junk food, do it. If you want to binge watch a true crime show with your hand down a giant bag of chips? Go for it. And if you want to scroll through memes, by all means. Enjoy this serving on us.
dank memes
Dank memes are basically just stale memes that have started to decompose, but users with a refined palate are able to appreciate those nuances of humor. Even if you have to brush a little dust of their shoulders, these memes still carry a glint of their former star power. Sometimes that's all you need. True meme connoisseurs can only appreciate the fine subtleties of a well-aged dank meme, so don't be discouraged, the deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the more everything will become clear..
Food. We need it to sustain our thankless existence on planet Earth. But somehow, the human race has managed to turn this necessity into a luxury status symbol. There are "foodies" in every restaurant, frantically trying to get a good shot of their Instagrammable acai bowls or salads so they can share with their friends. To prove that they eat clean or pretty. We think that shit is dumb as hell. We prefer to chow down with relish and urgency instead of taking photos while the food we're supposed to eat gets cold. This attitude is definitely reflected in this batch of memes. It's time to stop taking this part of culture so seriously, and just enjoy ourselves. And our meals. The same way we enjoy the weird memes they inspire.

What makes a meme? It's hard to define. A good meme just happens when the right things align. Sometimes memes are spicy and sometimes they're sweet. Memes can be messy, though often they're neat. Memes don't hate or judge or scold. Memes are hilarious, witty and bold. If you love memes as much as you say, be sure to visit Memebase every damn day.
TGIF, friends and meme-lovers. We're back with another super-sized batch of memes, curated specifically for your convenient consumption. Offering up dumb memes. Clever tweets. Lots of depressingly relatable content, and, of course, memes for people who seriously hate their jobs. Coming from people who collect memes for a living, it doesn't matter if you're looking at funny crap all day. Jobs just suck. So if you're at work, enjoy this break. And if you're not? Hell, you'll enjoy it even more.
It's 6 a.m. You wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested even though your alarm hasn't even started screaming yet. 'Today I will eat three healthy meals and exercise after work!' you think to yourself as you apply your age-defying retinoid cream. You're experiencing one of those special and rare mornings where you're feeling good about life and you're determined not to screw this one up. You decide to ride your bike to work today. The sight of maple leaves swaying in the breeze and the sound of the white-throated sparrow's cheerful melody fill you with a familiar sensation of warmth you haven't felt in a long time. But just as you're about to burst into song, a pothole swallows your wheel and you go flying into a pile of garbage. 'Ha ha ha ha ha!' you put on a nervous laugh so the freaked out onlookers know you're totally fine even though your knees are bleeding, 'good thing I wore a helmet ha ha ha ha ha!'
You literally smell like trash but it's not going to get you down. You've still got that homemade green juice in your backpack that will revive you once you get to the office. Then it occurs to you that your back feels a bit damp and so you take a look inside your backpack. You find that the mason jar that was holding your green juice must have shattered when you fell and now there's broken glass and sticky liquid all over your work laptop. You smile through gritted teeth. 'This will be a good day god f*cking damnit.'
You arrive to work drenched in garbage juice and actual juice. The boss asks you why you smell like that. You ask the boss why it feels like an oven in the office. You find out it's because the air conditioning is busted. Oh, and also the toilets are clogged. In fact, everything is going wrong and it's turning out to be one of the worst days of your life. You slump down into your office chair, which breaks under your weight. You open your phone, scroll through some funny memes and start to feel a bit normal again. The memes start coming and don't stop coming. Fed to the rules and you hit the ground running. Doesn't make sense not to live for fun—your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.

These memes and tweets are seriously helping us forget that it's already the end of September and both fall and Seasonal Affective Disorder are completely and atrociously imminent. If we're going to have to stay inside for the next 6 months, we're going to do it with memes.
Of all the necessities of modern life, meme breaks are arguably one of the most important. There are few pastimes out there that are easier, more accessible and more fun. We all have our different ways of decompressing, but most of us can find some common ground in doing this with some amusing memes. Sometimes, it's the only way.

When boredom strikes, the brain's standards for stimulating content begin to plummet. Even snobs who consider themselves connoisseurs of Fine Art and intellectual humor are not immune to fart jokes and dumb memes, especially when the insidious languor of a long day dampens their comprehension skills. There's no shame in embracing ridiculously stupid memes when your brain just doesn't have the energy for anything fancier. Don't be so hard on yourself and enjoy some silly content. You know you want to.
Clowns have been having quite the moment over the past few years. "Jokerfied" has become a verb. Thousands of women have been Harley Quinn for Halloween. It had a new opportunity to become a household name. Despite all these prominent media moments, we (as a society) are overlooking the biggest clowns of all: ourselves.
That's right. Somehow, the human race has managed to make jesters of themselves on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's convincing yourself that you matter to your corporate overlords, or if you've convinced yourself that you can change your toxic partner, we're constantly subconsciously donning giant shoes and making a mockery of ourselves by playing dumb. But we're not alone. Pretty much every living, breathing human with an ounce of empathy, heart, or soul has themselves up for clownish disappointment. And boy, are there a ton of memes out there that reflect just that.
If you're a sucker for a good Julius Caesar pun or Diogenes gag, you've come to the right place because we've got a whole bunch of dank memes full of history, classical art and ancient philosophy references for anyone who likes their funny content on the sophisticated side. Tap into your inner Socrates and nurture your scholarly side with these vaguely educational memes.

Christopher Meloni has broken the internet with a recent post he shared featuring himself looking like a magnificent watermelon on the set of a photoshoot with Interview Magazine. Best known for portraying Detective Elliot Stabler in beloved legal drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the actor and fitness-enthusiast has amassed a social media following of stans who can't get enough of that goofy Chris Meloni charm. Celebrities who act like real humans on the internet are hard to come by—can you blame them for simping?
Meloni posed for that shot like he knew it was a meme before the photo was even captured. We can't decide which is more meme-able—Chris Meloni or the G7 Summit family photo. In any case, we'll take all the hilarious new meme formats we can get. Keep scrolling for the best Meloni memes so far.
Let's face it, most people today have a hard time switching off. Between our dependency on computers and the chronic device addiction, we all spend far too much of our days staring at screens. As a result, it makes sense to devote some of that screen time to the things we really enjoy. There's no need to be doing an endless doomscroll of depressing news headlines when you could be looking at memes, and all of the ones we have here only prove it.
Do you feel beaten down by the universe? Is thinking more difficult than you ever remembered? Would you rather die than exercise and develop a healthy routine? Well, we've got some entertainment made for this weary mental state. While some people have the energy to seek out humor and investigate the internet, we know that for some people, the process is daunting. So we've gathered up some good memes of varying freshness, and are here to serve 'em up to you. It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Some memes last a couple days. Others entertain for years (we're looking at you, Distracted Boyfriend). And then there are the memes that inexplicably hold on for weeks - somehow getting better with age. "For the Better, Right?" falls into that category. It's actually been months since the Star Wars format was first utilized to roast Elon Musk. But we're at a point where we almost can't remember scrolling through Twitter and Reddit without seeing some riff on Padmé (Natalie Portman) and Anakin's (Hayden Christensen) romantic picnic in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Against all odds, we're not really mad about it.
While we enjoyed the first iterations of this meme (which, surprisingly, didn't start on r/prequelmemes), over time it's become pretty self-aware - ignoring the clamor of haters who wish death upon the format. The jokes have gotten dirtier, dumber, and even more political. And somehow, they're keeping our attention. We've put together some of the latest and greatest examples for your enjoyment, but we're pretty sure there's more meta humor to come.
A hearty hello to all you Tolkien-heads and Lord of the Rings enjoyers. For some people, this is just another "Terrible Tuesday." But cultured souls know that it's actually one of the best days of the week. That's because we're back with a healthy selection of fresh, dumb, and lol-worthy Lord of the Rings shitposts. This week's edition features a lot of those "For the Better, Right" memes that have been all over Reddit and Twitter lately. And, of course, a whole lot of the referential stupidity that we all love so dearly.
