From Karens raging at customer service to choosing beggars looking for extravagant handouts, entitled people can be found everywhere IRL and on the internet. These privileged souls unfortunately chose to immortalize their unreasonable requests and feelings on the world wide web. And now we get to roll our eyes at them in unison.

Where's Goku refers to a series of memes in which the Dragon Ball character Goku is added to various images in an inconspicuous way, with another portion of the image highlighted with a red circle to act as a red herring. The format gained popularity on Twitter and Reddit in July 2021, proving that Waldo has some stiff internet competition.

Greetings, internet friends. We thought we'd take you on a little journey through meme history via @OldMemeArchive, our favorite repository of blursed relics of the internet. If you're old enough to remember the time of Rage Comics, Bad Luck Brian, Scumbag Steve and SomethingAwful.com, then you might feel a little nostalgic scrolling through these ancient memes from a forgotten era. Either that, or you'll cringe in embarrassment for your entire generation. Whether you think these le epic old memes represent a golden age, or you believe society has progressed past the need for impact font, you've gotta admit that those sure were simpler times. Le sigh.
Everyone knows that the concession stand at any movie theater franchise is going to rip you off. $9.99 for a large popcorn is almost offensive, but we still buy it for the full experience. Apparently, laughable prices aren't even the worst of the movie theater scamming. TikToker and concession employee @thatcoolguy.25597 has been exposing just how much you get ripped off at the food stand. That small popcorn that's usually a dollar cheaper than the medium? No size difference. Yup, that's right. A small and a medium popcorn fit the same amount of popcorn. He also reveals some tips and tricks for how to save a bit of cash when ordering. For example, asking for two cups of free water (that you can refill with soda) rather than buying that $6 bottle of Dasani. Some of these little hacks are likely obvious to anyone who's ever been a teenager in a movie theater without any extra cash, but it's fun to hear it from the guy who actually dishes out the popcorn. Thanks to @thatcoolguy.25597, I sure won't be ordering a medium popcorn anytime soon.

Ah, the dog days of summer. Here on the East Coast, the heat (and accompanied humidity) render us into sticky blobs with little to no energy. Blobs that are incapable of making good on their promises to finally cook dinner for themselves instead of ordering takeout. Blobs that can barely muster the strength to lift the remote control to change the channel. Blobs that can hardly find the motivation to seek actual joy or be productive. Fortunately, we're here to provide quick and easy humor that requires nearly zero effort on your part. All you have to do is scroll through the memes. Stay cool, y'all.
Can't pay attention? We feel you. In today's hyper-stimulating world of fast-paced content, news tickers, advertising affixed to every public surface, gamification and of course, memes, who can focus for more than a few minutes at a time anymore? Unless you live off the grid somewhere in the middle of nowhere, (doubtful, because how would you be reading this?) then your brain has probably adapted to taking in massive amounts of visual stimuli every day. Maybe it feels harder now to sit down and read a book than it did when you were a little kid. It doesn't mean you're dumb, it just means your brain has adapted to new ways of processing information. If you're trying to ease the mind a bit but can't commit to studying a new subject or watching a full-length movie, memes are the perfect little snack for your brain. Who knows, maybe these memes will be your gateway to finally reading Moby Dick. Baby steps.
Impact Font. Minions. Allusions to "better times" before the internet, when people spent their time rolling in mud instead of "rotting their brains." Hateful or crazed "memes" that spew pseudoscience and tear people down. Where can you find all of this great stuff? Why, on a boomer's Facebook page, of course.
While boomer-hating has become quite boring, there's no denying that some older people use the internet in a way that's simultaneously toxic, corny, and hilarious. And though we appreciate the cringe at face value, there's a Twitter account that takes that entertaining trash and mines it into some serious content gold. @NoContextBoomers (aka Cropped Boomer Images) artfully crops those grainy memes your Aunt Linda shares in the family group chat and turns them into eerie, cursed, and weirdly funny gems that get an awful lot of attention on Twitter. It's a genius way of repurposing tired kinds of posts into content that "extremely online" senses of humor can appreciate. We've put together some of their latest efforts, but we dare you to look to your family's social media accounts and try it yourself. The results are often hysterical.

It's normal to compare ourselves to others. Especially when it feels like half our lives are spent on social media. It always seems as though there's always someone who is more skinny, more well-travelled, or better at tweeting. The latter gets us on the regular. For some reason it is such a struggle to compose funny, astute, or zany tweets that compare to all the creative wordsmiths on the site. At some point, we learned to stop trying and just enjoy witty, short and sweet tidbits like these. It's more fun that way.
Ah yes, another beautiful Monday on Planet Earth! A lot happened this weekend. The Josh Fight. The Oscars. The waves of existential dread on Sunday evening. That's all well and good, but today is a new day, and it's a new week. And we want to get it started right. By sharing dank memes, relatable tweets, and other dumb images that are intended to improve your mood.
Some Mondays may be worse than others, but pretty much all of them come with the lingering dread of having to deal with a whole new week ahead. There's no doubt that it is likely to be filled with all the usual trials and tribulations, but luckily we have ways to indulge in some escapism when it all seems to get too much. One of the easiest ways to do this is of course with memes. The responsibilities can wait when there's dumb internet humor to be found.

Our responsibilities, our bank balance, our occasionally dwindling will to live — there's a lot of things in life that we'd rather ignore, but many of the ways of doing so are not that healthy. That is where memes come in. In consuming a fresh pile of amusing images and content, the only thing you're likely to hurt is your retinas. You enjoy yourself doing it, though, so is it really that much of a loss?
Flirting ain't really easy, and men aren't always great at picking up hints. But almost everyone has their own little way of trying to show a person that they're interested. Redditor u/SignificantEmotion87 took to r/AskReddit to see what the female equivalent of the classic "yawn to arm over the shoulder" move we're all familiar with. Ladies stepped up to the plate in droves, and while their answers were a mix of predictable and smart, the biggest takeaway is that men really have no idea when they're being flirted with.
There are few sites that have had as much of an impact on the internet as 4chan. The message board has been responsible for countless big online moments over the years, not all of them especially admirable. Nonetheless, it can still provide a lot of entertainment if you know where to look. If there's one thing you can expect from 4chan, it's to expect the unexpected — just like the examples below.
Hi-diddly-ho, neighborino! We're back with another round of gems from @middleclassfancy, a satirical meme account that hilariously points out and often exaggerates all the quirks and stereotypes of Middle American suburbia. These memes poke fun at everything from banal office life, to your cargo shorts-wearing grill master dad. Scroll along for the best recent posts from @middleclassfancy.
When most of us think about reading the news, we tend to focus on the copious amounts of doom and gloom. However, that's far from the be-all and end-all when it comes to the headlines. It's a weird old world we live in, and it's full of people doing strange yet newsworthy things for no apparent reason. It makes sense that some intrepid reporters feel like the rest of the world would want to know about it, but sometimes it can be hard to take it seriously. Understanding this dilemma @NewsArticleSPs collates all of the strangest articles that feel like they were dreamed up by a wayward memer, but are in fact 100% real. The examples below represent the very best and worst of humanity, as seen through the lens of journalism.
