Black Friday has never been known to be a civilized event. It seems every year we hear of stampedes, physical violence and general mayhem - all because people want to take advantage of some insane deals. Now, thanks to this handy guide from College Humor, you have more of a chance to make it out of the mall alive. 

Sometimes bad things happen for a reason. On Wednesday, this was definitely the case. Twitter user @cheenadiabla shared a photo of a tray of mashed potatoes she had dropped on the floor. The dish had been intended for a potluck, but she quickly said "f*ck it." While she was probably expecting sympathy from her followers, they instead delivered a whole lot of scathing reviews of her admittedly terrible looking mashed potatoes. While she took it in stride, admitting it was her first time preparing the dish, some of the roastsare downright mean - and downright hilarious.  

Ah, yes. It's the weekend. Not just any weekend. It's a holiday weekend in 2020. The time we would have enjoyed with family or getting wasted with friends is instead (probably) spent with roommates or your significant other. Again. While some people may be happy about getting out of that family visitation situation, we're pretty sure there are plenty of you out there who wish you could do something more with your time. While we can't provide you with exciting activities, we can provide you with memes. And if they don't turn that frown upside down, we don't know what will. 

We're back with another wild and thrilling assortment of random internet treats for anyone who knows they want to see a whole bunch of memes but doesn't have anything specific in mind. In this gallery, you'll find memes (of course), witty tweets, amusing tumblr exchanges, and funny pics. What more could you ask for?

When I was a kid I thought that by the time I was thirty I'd have it all figured out. I'd be married, own a house, probably wrangle a few pets and maybe even have a kid on the way. Now? That all seems laughable. Being an adult isn't the magically stable state that we once thought it would be. Instead, it's made up of the struggles and silliness depicted in these memes. At least we're still young at heart?

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! We know it feels like there's not much to be thankful for right now. People all over the country are dying. Folks are losing jobs. The air is rich with uncertainty. But hopefully we can all take a moment to feel grateful for our lives. And, y'know, memes. Memes are always here for us in times both good and bad. And they really come through when the boredom hits. See for yourself.

On a scale of dankalicious to extremely stupid, these memes are all over the spectrum. A perfect range of humor for those in desperate need of a quick and easy distraction. If you're starting to feel fatigued by the day's mundane tasks, this is your time to procrastinate with some funny content. You deserve it.

We're not fans of bullying or "othering" people but roasting is a thing all it's own. If people ask for it, roasting and toasting should definitely be fair game. So don't feel too guilty scrolling through these owns. They got what they asked for.

During more "normal times" we relish seeing restaurant owners call out unreasonable customers for bullshit reviews. Now, while restaurant workers and bartenders are risking their lives to cater to entitled people, we find that we relish the takedowns even more. Today we come to you with a classic Karen tale from Hucknall in the UK. This Karen, whose real name is Jo, took to Facebook to express her dismay at being kicked out of a restaurant after spending  £700 on a birthday celebration at the venue. 

The restaurant quickly responds - correcting her lies (the party spent about a quarter of that) and calling her group out for their drunken and entitled behavior. It's an expert takedown that requires only facts to make the Karen (and her entire family) seem out of line. And we think you'll find it pretty entertaining.

Ever take a step back from your life and wonder if you're just doing it wrong? It's easy to feel that way when you compare yourself to your parents. Many of us deal with these feelings, especially if we've surpassed the age at which our creators decided they were ready to bring life into this godforsaken world. A new Wojak comic meme completely excels at utilizing this theme, and the results are our favorite kind of self-deprecating humor. The meme basically compares what our parents were doing (making commitments, investing in the future) with what we're doing at that age. The punchline is that in 2020, we're doing shit that's way less mature. You know, making mistakes like eating pills of the ground or infantilizing ourselves with phrases like "I'm baby." While some of these memes hit home pretty hard, a couple of them are great reminders that progress is possible. It's also important to remembe that the world was a different place when our parents were our age. It's always better to focus on one's self and the possibilities we do have. 

It should be known by now that we enjoy mocking other people's misforunte - and as schadenfreude goes, these amusing tales are pretty lighthearted. When Twitter user @lillyannatrnr shared a facepalm-worthy serving anecdote from her boyfriend's past, we're willing to bet she didn't think she was starting a thread of epic proportions. But his ignorance regarding creme fraiche and the laughs that followed inspired other users to share their own food-service and grocery work blunders. The result? A massive thread of funny fails and punny verbal comedy. We've picked out some of the better gems for you, but you can see more hilarity at the thread itself.

We talk a lot about kiling the monotony with memes and tweets. It's true that even they can become monotonous, but at least these funny tidbits have the potential to make you chuckle your way through life's unending trials and tribulations. From bleak and relatable anecdotes, to memes that might leave you feeling personally attacked, this gallery's got a little something for everyone.

There is SO much funny and entertaining content all over the internet which makes it difficult to parse it all down into a cohesive, themed gallery. So how about we don't do that. How about we just throw a bunch of dank memes, funny tweets, and bizarre pics into a big, unwieldy pile. This would be more true to the internet experience, after all. There's one big difference though—we always weed out the bad content. 

We've got to hand it to these lazy individuals. In the most creative way possible, these craftsmen and construction workers absolutely refused to do someone else's job. So they found workarounds that, while extremely amusing, may not have made their clients happy. But we're more than happy to show some appreciation for their efforts.

Sleep's been hard to come by what with all the insanity of 2020. If you're a student to boot? Forget about it. Some people say there aren't enough hours in the day, but we really believe there aren't enough hours in the night. Every morning it feels like we've been cheated. And opportunities for naps once you're out of school are pretty damn slim. Unless, y'know, you're a depression napper. But those never lead to feeling rested. Whatever your reason for needing more sleep all the time, we're willing to bet these memes will resonate with you. Just don't let them occupy too much of your slumber time. Every minute counts.
