As more and more states of emergency are declared, and the Coronavirus outbreak worsens in the United States, people are starting to panic. And other people are starting to meme. They're meme-ing about the insane lack of toilet paper, and they're meme-ing about lack of healthcare. Creating memes in the wake of a tragedy is nothing new. The "edgy" practice is a coping mechanism for some people, and is considered controversial by others. While we don't for a second think Coronavirus should be taken lightly, we do think there's something to be said about laughter as medicine. And if you agree, you'll probably enjoy these COVID-19 memes.

We've been seeing a lot of cringey nice guys making themselves known on the internet, but it looks like they're popping up more frequently in the wild as well. Just ask the poor soul who was forced into a crappy exchange with one of them. Seems our "hero," Keegan, was given a wrong number after making a connection with a Sandra at a club. After it becomes clear that the phone number does not belong to Sandra, Keegan somehow manages to dig himself into an even deeper whole with this complete stranger. When will people learn?

TGIF! As the world crumbles around us, and health fears and politics are unavoidable, it's important to have respite from all the crazy. For some people, that means bad Hallmark movies and reality TV. For us? That means taking in a whole lot of memes and tweets. And here's a bunch of them for you.

Boredom. It's a scourge that affects us all, especially now that many of us are taking precautions against the looming threat of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Fortunately for all of you sitting at home or bored at work, we've got memes for you to peruse while the world goes to the pooper.

As more people are staying home to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus, we're all finding ourselves in need of ways to pass the time. It's only a matter of time before we all get cabin fever and start bouncing off the walls. In the meantime, we're here to help with some fresh tweets to keep you busy for a little while. 

Thought Game of Thrones memes were dead? Well, you thought wrong. Some meme formats are immortal despite season finales and angry fans. "It's Hard To Argue With His Assessment" is once such meme template. The meme is taken from a 2012 episode in which Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) utters the line while in the company of Bronn (Jerome Flynn.) This image is being paired with everything from universal ethical truths  to dumb shower thoughts. The format is pretty similar to "No, No, He's Got A Point," but probably resonates a little more with people who missed the Emperor's New Groove boat. We've included some samples here, but you can read more at the entry, and use the Know Your Meme templates to make your own.

If your life has felt devoid of Dorito dust and katana-wielding incels, we've got you covered. This batch of neckbeard memes and texts comes courtesy of @neckbeardfancy, where admins are tirelessly cataloging riveting content that also happens to make our skin crawl. From cringe-inducing attempts to hit on women, to self-aware memes and comics, this gallery is sure to entertain. 

As another terrible Tuesday comes to an end, let us give thanks to the good stuff we take for granted. Good tunes. Having toilet paper. Being able to leave the house. Not having to buy exorbitantly priced hand sanitize. And memes. During times of trouble, it's easy to forget how integral memes are for our mental health. So here's a bunch of random posts that made us smile. Keep your chins up, buddies.

There are a lot of enterprising celebrity lookalikes out there. They make good money performing at events and on Instagram. But what about the lookalikes that aren't famous, and just exist in the world? That's what this gallery is dedicated to. From unfortunately coiffed Macedonian Britney Spears, to a bloated and pudgy Leo-lookalike, these doppelgangers will both impress you and make you cringe.

Boredom strikes pretty much everyone. From the rich people twiddling their thumbs in Ibiza manses, to fast food workers after close, we all need something to distract us from both the nothing and the everything. That's where memes come in. They're something we can all enjoy from wherever we happen to be: on the toilet, quarantined in Wuhan, or during a commute. And here are a bunch of 'em.

High School happens at a time where kids are grappling with authority. They feel like they should have some independence, but are consistently being held back by rules. Generally, frustration at lack of independence leads to rebellion. And some kinds of rebellion are worse than others.

Twitter user @deanlines chimed in on a thread about rebellious school pranks with his own story. It's not merely a tale of breaking the rules, it's a goddamn roller coaster that might warrant its own film adaptation. And it's all right here for you. 

We know we have a tendency to put out content that's self-deprecating, depressing and nihilistic. But we know that there are people out there who can appreciate these relationship comics. In this gallery you can expect to find a lot of sap, some realistic relationship humor, and even a fart joke or two. We'd reckon even the singles can enjoy this one. 

As Coronavirus reaches every damn corner of the globe, lots of people are asking "Why?" Uh, because people love to travel (according to Tinder)- and there's a two week period where most COVID-19 victims are asymptomatic. It's a recipe for disaster, and one that's likely to get worse when you look at all the price slashes on flights, both domestic and international. It's ridiculous to think that people will stay put when there are $300 nonstop round trip flights to Paris happening. These reckless and arguably rude individuals are getting the royal meme treatment on Reddit and Instagram, as has been documented by the fine folks of Know Your Meme. We've put together some choice examples, but as people continue to jet set while roni'd out, we're willing to bet these memes will be popping up for a while. Stay safe, people.

As Coronavirus spreads from Asia to Europe and the United States, it seems the whole world is paralyzed with fear. Flights are being cancelled, the stock market has absolutely plummeted. As anxiety rises, some people are using humor to cope with COVID-19. And this post is a great example of that. An anonymous jokester used classic stereotypes to riff on Coronvirus response, and we have to say it's making our day.
