While Fridays really don't matter much these days, it's still our belief that we're obligated to celebrate the weekend. And since we can't head to the clubs, bars, or restaurants to blow off steam, we're trying to find other ways to chill out. So far, beyond drinking copious amounts of alcohol, scrolling through memes has been fitting the bill. And here's a whole lot of 'em here for you.
funny tweets
These memes, known as "The Movie Villain vs. The Actual Villain," are a great way for people to roast things they hate about movies, or to insinuate that the protagonist is actually the villain. We're here for it, and if you'd like to read more, head on over to Know Your Meme!
It's difficult to count the ways that the pandemic has uprooted our lives. Many of us are jobless. People have lost loved ones. We're all getting cabin fever from being cooped up in our homes. But kids have got it pretty weird. And so do parents. As their studies move to the internet, children are being forced to endure "Zoom classes." And while that seems pretty surreal and scary for many of us, kids happen to be super adaptable. And that adaptability can often translate to humor. These tweets, which come from parents eavesdropping on their children's virtual lessons, are some seriously wholesome proof of that.
Lana Del Rey is no stranger to media controversy, and this time she's gotten herself into hot water for ranting on Instagram about her disdain for the subject matter in the music of top female artists, including Beyonce, Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, and Cardi B. She continued, stating that there's no place in the music industry for women like her who are being their "authentic, delicate selves" and don't look "strong or necessarily smart" in their lyrical content. People started coming for Ms. Del Rey on social media, saying that her comments were entitled and racist for pointing mainly toward women of color. Just scroll down and read the debate and reactions for yourself, because honestly this sh*t is exhausting, y'all.
Rapper Future is no stranger to the meme game. He's been the star of many a mocking relationship-centric meme since "Future Sending Exes Texts" came onto the scene around Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, instead of making a mockery of ex-boyfriends, this meme seems to wag a finger at promiscuous women. The tweets feature the text "She belongs to the streets," which was popularized by Future - and many of the meme creators seem to acknowledge their misogynistic nature by labeling the rapper's tome as the "Book of Misogyny." We're hoping the people who retweet the memes are aware of the slightly problematic message - and hope women know it's okay to run free. We all know that dudes see no qualms about it.
We've got to hand it to people who spend all their time on Twitter. Most of them (at least the folks we follow) have a real knack for saying something funny or smart using very few words. That 280 character limit might feel oppressive to some essay-writers (try a thread) but we think it forces people to be a tad more intelligent in their writing. These tweets may not be the genius we're referring to, but they're definitely a good way to waste time.
WTF is 2020, y'all. Honestly at this point should we even ask questions? Because absolutely nothing is surprising to us anymore. In this installment of apocalypse bingo, researchers found evidence that there may be a parallel universe where the laws of physics and time appear to operate in reverse. Many others are also skeptical of the findings, so take everything with a grain of salt. But of course, that hasn't stopped memers from reacting in the best ways. See some of the reactions below!
If you grew up in the '90s then scrolling through this Twitter thread will give you a serious case of nostalgia. Twitter user Melina threw together a hodgepodge of images of things we had completely forgotten about from our schooling days and let's just say, they took us on a little trip down memory lane.
Ever have it out with someone (either seriously or in good fun) and think of the perfect comeback hours later when you're in the shower? Happens to us all the time. These clever souls didn't have to suffer like that - they came up with some seriously smart sh*t at just the right moment. Salute.
Chuck E. Cheese made big news this week, and not because they're bankrupt like many other American corporations. It turns out the family entertainment center has been masquerading as "Pasqually's Pizza & Wings" on food delivery apps such as Seamless and Grubhub. While some people feel betrayed by the move, most of Twitter and Reddit has responded to the strategy with bemusement. The chain's secret was first revealed on Reddit by user u/KendallNeff in the r/Philadelphia subreddit. They posted an exchange with their GrubHub driver who was happy to confirm that the pizza came from a Chuck E. Cheese location.
This week, more netizens became hip to the facade, sharing memes about the sneaky move and generally showing appreciation for the odd bit of business savvy. The hubbub led to Chuck E. Cheese trending on Twitter - alongside al Qaeda and Pauly D. While we're waiting for the fourth horse of Twitter's Coronapocalypse, we have to admit we're starting to get a nostalgic craving for that crappy pizza. It's too bad we can't Grubhub the creepy animatronic band. While they work on that technology, we've put together the best tweets regarding this hilarious discovery. Bon appetite.
Does anyone really like their job? No really, like does anyone wake up in the morning and stretch while listening to the birds chirping outside and say to themselves, "man I can't wait to go to work today?" Or is it more that you don't entirely mind going to work? We're thinking it's probably the latter. Anyway, these memes are for those who think about quitting every day but have the will power not to do that.
