Some people say that if at first you don't succeed, you should try and try again. Some of these fiery mistakes definitely challenge the logic behind that saying. That said, we're inclined to give everyone here an E for "effort" - even if it's just for providing us with such excellent schadenfreude.

One of the best things about memes is how friendly they can be. Whether they are relatable or the peak of weird humor, consuming the best ones can be like sharing a joke with a friend. Even the most cursed, eye-bleach worthy ones give a sense of familiarity it is hard to find anywhere else. Should we ditch our real-life social circle to stare at memes all day? I mean, no, that is a terrible idea. However, in those times when it seems like the rest of the world is against us, it's nice to know there's something fighting our corner — even if it is making fun of us at the same time.

Ah, Sunday. The day of rest. While some people spend it at church or by indulging in quality family time, we're more into burrowing into a cocoon and conserving energy for the horrors of Monday. Fortunately, scrolling through memes and binge watching television shows don't take much of our life force. And we've got a bunch of the former right here for your easy enjoyment.
A superhero can partake in righteous violence and destruction, but according to DC Entertainment, pleasuring a lover is far too obscene. In a recent Variety Magazine article focusing on shows that subvert the superhero genre, Justin Halpern, co-creator and executive producer of the HBO animated series Harley Quinn, told Variety:
"In this third season of 'Harley' we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, 'You can't do that. You absolutely cannot do that.' They're like, 'Heroes don't do that.' So, we said, 'Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?' They were like, 'No, it's that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.'"
'Heroes don't do that' eh? A number of Batman fans made the point that DC once went with a pretty graphic rooftop sex scene between Batman and Catwoman in an issue of their comic. Where was their concern about merchandise sales then? Many weighed in on the controversial question of whether or not Batman—ahem—goes down, including Zack Snyder, who tweeted an illustration of Batman and Catwoman in the throes of passion. He captioned the image with one word: 'canon.' Snyder's tweet sparked some spicy memes in the replies. Way to set the record straight, Zack.
We're surrounded by them from the moment we look at our phones after we wake up to whenever we put down our screens at the end of the day. Yet sometimes, this constant exposure to memes can make it hard to muster up much enthusiasm for them. This is the very reason that random meme galleries exist. Instead of being bombarded with the same old flavor of the month meme format, you get a more balanced selection in which you are bound to find something to enjoy. It's all the more reason to waste some more time.

It's said that all workand no play make Jack a dull boy. And while we don't know who Jack is, we don't think he wants to be dull. We think he wants to be a well-rounded individual, a man who understands the importance of a work-life balance. Being a workaholic is known to breed misery, and, eventually, burnout. So Jack really ought to be mixing things up. Maybe he should take a break to stop and smell the roses. Or, perhaps, he's more of a binge-watcher or book-reader. But if we were this Jack character, we'd consider taking a secret daily sabbatical solely to scroll through memes. The instant gratification of these dumb jokes is just the kind of respite we need to stay sane. And we're willing to bet that Jack would like them, too.
If you're someone who gets satisfaction out of seeing slightly misguided or straight up rude people get owned by the reasonable and informed, we've got a load of screenshots from r/murderedbywords that capture these rare moments. Lately there's been an influx of misinformation spreading about the new Covid-19 vaccines. Of course, it's always a good idea to scrutinize anything you're putting into your body, but some people seem to just make stuff up on the fly and tweet about it like it's proven fact. Well thankfully, there are professionals out there who are always ready to school the ignorant.
First of all, we're not trying to roast anyone who's bad at spelling—we all make mistakes or fall victim to cursed autocorrections. But the results of an overlooked typo or malapropism are often pretty hilarious. Subreddit r/BoneAppleTea is totally on top of capturing these comical instances of spelling mishaps, and we've grabbed a handful of examples to share.

Ah, the vernal equinox. Spring is trying to get sprung for real, and the sun's shining just a little bit brighter. While things are starting to feel a little happier and more optimistic, we know your brains - and lifestyles - are going to need a bit of an adjustment period. So before that ambition leads to an epic day of spring cleaning, take advantage of your lingering laziness and indulge in some tasty memes. There's gonna be plenty of time to nurture hobbies and being outdoors.
It feels like Gen Z was born with their own social media logins and a smartphone in their tiny hands. For the boomers and post-war generations, things have been a bit more difficult. While some geriatrics outright reject modernity in favor of tradition, there are grandparents who embrace technology, both as a means of keeping in touch with their beloved families and complaining about, well, everything. Especially social media itself.
It's pretty easy to find old-timer posts in the wilds of Facebook, but if you're looking to enjoy them in one place, we recommend r/oldpeoplefacebook. It's a treasure trove of boomer blunders, wholesome caps-lock usage, and weird medical admissions. We've put together some gems, but there are many more where they came from. And fortunately, none of them are too political.
While we feel for people who are either lacking in the brain cell department or the education department, we sure do like laughing at their expense. These cringey geniuses really set the bar high for people who reject common sense and intelligence. And we're absolutely loving it.

Snooze the alarm all you like, it doesn't change the fact that it is the start of a new week. Monday is here again, and with it come a whole new seven days of trials and tribulations to get through. It's not all bad, though — we're bound to find some positives if we look hard enough. One of the easiest ways to do this is through the sweet relief of memes. There's nothing like some blissful meme-based distraction to make you feel like you can take on anything, or at least forget about responsibility long enough that it doesn't seem like that big a deal anymore.
The self-importance of influencers seems to have no end. Some influencers demand free hotel stays, others are more into free wedding photography, but one thing's for sure: they're incredibly entitled and suffer from serious delusions of grandeur. Today we got an extra large taste of this abhorrent attitude in the form of an r/AskReddit thread. U/peaches1687 asked the subreddit's photographers to share the most outrageous requests they've received from influencers. They (and people in other career sectors) were happy to oblige.
It's good for some things to go from zero to 100. A blender. A train. Your grades. In these cases, escalation is both accepted and welcome. But sometimes the upturn is unexpected, unsettling, or just plain bad. This is especially true when I'm PMSing. But strange and spicy escalation doesn't just apply to moods. It's very present on the internet. From weirdly dark tweets, to mind-boggling AskReddit responses, these memes and posts are a reminder that the world is full of some very strange and very creative people.
English is a weird thing to speak. Different accents, dialects and influences from several other different languages make it way more complicated than it needs to be, although that doesn't mean it has no entertainment value.
The 'Mfs Really Named This' meme points out the ludicrousness of words, and how we often seem to name things in the stupidest way possible. Whether they're mentioning a U.S. state or a mathematical concept, the setup is extremely dumb; at the same time, it's hard to argue with the logic. They might not make you start calling an underground room the Based Ment, but you've still got to admit that this meme is pretty good at pointing out how there are some funny sounding words out there.
We're all a bit hard on ourselves sometimes, but some have a gift for totally roasting themselves with spicy deep cuts. But hey, at least these poets of self-deprecation are good at something. We've got a bunch of hilariously sad instances of people cleverly owning themselves in the comments. These self-hating internet comedians deserve a little respect.
