We have entered one of the weirdest parts of the calendar year ; a measly, scrawny little week in time that makes you question your reality. I'm talking, of course, about that weird little week between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. We are currently in the middle of TWO, count 'em, two long weekends, which may or may not do a number on the productivity of the world's workers. I'm ready to since that song about auld acquaintance more than anyone, but I just have to get through these next few…

Greetings, internet friends. Hope the bizarre limbo between Christmas and New Year's Day is treating you well. For many of us, it feels like a blur. A calorie-laden, lazy, and hopefully comfortable blur. While it's a blur for me, too, it's like one percent as chaotic as the actual holidays we were celebrating a few days ago. My parents' home was filled with dogs - large dogs, barking dogs , and one of them was a puppy. Between the chaotic canines, and my family's love of talking over one anothe…

As purveyors of entertainment media, we know it can be a hustle to churn out timely, holiday-related content around the end of the year. Finding content that has to do with Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or even peoples' contempt for the holidays can be tough especially when we're working abbreviated schedules. It's only natural that some well-meaning people would manage to muck this up, and it seems that one television news channel has won 2022's award for “Best Seasonal Fail of the Year". Twit…

Have you ever really stopped to consider the sheer number of memes that are floating around in the great expanse of the world wide web? The figure is probably staggering. Just think: thousands, if not millions, of memes are being passed around the internet at any given moment, making their way to the screens of disaffected, humor-seeking internet users such as yourselves. The variety of memes that are bopping around the web is just as wide. But relatable memes and little jokes about cute animal…

Happy Boxing Day, or, "Day of Fatness and Dehydration" as we like to call it. It was a pretty meh weekend, but as my mom says we're pretty lucky. While we stayed inside during the 6-degree cold snap in the Northeast, people a mere 50 miles away from us were without heat or power, and some even froze to death. So it's best to count our blessings. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us counting our miniscule blessings doesn't take very much time, which leaves a pretty big void to fill with some so…

It's a miracle that you're reading this list. It has nothing to do with you, dear reader. It has to do with the fact that I have no concept of what day it is, I'm bloated from holiday feasting, and pretty sure I'm still fighting a 3 day hangover from trying to drink away the pain of being with family. The period between Christmas and New Years is famous for its murkiness. One day can feel like three. We melt into our couches, filled with the scraps of that turkey, ham, or (perhaps) a tofu roast…

When cat rescuer @ellle_em was having a bad day, they turned to Twitter and made a very specific request. “Please reply to this tweet with an AITA written from the perspective of your cat and also include a photo of said cat I would appreciate this very much” tweeted @ellle_em. Boy oh boy did Twitter deliver. After @ellle_em got the ball rolling with some posts featuring a bunch of their lovely-looking rescues, other Twitter users got in on the joke and shared stories about their own mischievou…

Let's be honest…during the holiday season , you can't be expected to hang out with your family all day, every day. You need to balance your time together wisely, so you don't end up extremely annoyed with each other by the end of Boxing Day. My family is not one to insist we spend every second of every day together during this time, but I know some families do just that. There are many ways to avoid going crazy if you're a member of one of those families. First of all, you can take the infamous…

It's that time of the year…the kids are out of school, and they are going hog wild . I do not envy parents who stay home with their kids three days before Christmas. Their little bodies can barely hold so much anticipation, which leads to a lot of frantic energy coming your way. This time of year can be highly stressful, and there are very few things that can calm down kids who are so excited about Santa Claus. At the same time, there is something so special about having a couple of weeks to sp…

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, and a shitposter whether their meme is OC. All three are going to lie to you. We always welcome a resurgence of a classic meme , and the internet's latest revival of the “never ask” meme is revealing all sorts of dark details about the backstories of famous people . The internet never forgets. We've included a bit of context for each meme to save you from going on a googling frenzy.

Nothing but respect for this guy

Do you ever stop and take the time to think about memes? I mean, really think about them. It's kind of surreal how memes just exploded onto the scene. I remember a time before I was sharing memes with friends , but I can't tell you exactly when it was. Way back then I spent all my allotted internet time on Neopets and MySpace instead of collecting shitposts for my friends and the likes of you. I would play Sissyfight and sneak into chat rooms and talk to peers who were probably, in actuality, b…

I don't think I'm the drama...

Here at Memebase we recognize that there is a demand for mostly-basic and very relatable memes . And there's really nothing wrong with that. That said, we have to admit that after years of scrolling through that simple and easily-consumed content, we tend to appreciate the weirder memes a little more. Memes that might be incredibly surreal, or even completely nonsensical. Memes that make you scratch your head, or even weird you out. And, of course, memes that are ever so slightly offensive. We'…

Positively agonizing.

Is anyone else getting completely obliterated by the stress of the holiday season? I just looked at my bank account and I'm quaking in my boots. How is it that I've made certain to remain within my gift-giving budget and yet I'm dead broke? I think next year I'm just going to bake everyone cookies and send them via Fed-Ex so that I can stay home and enjoy the holidays by myself, like a proper Scrooge . Anyway. The world doesn't stop for my stress, and you know what? That's a good thing. The hol…
