The entire internet seems to be leaning into "Spooktober" this year, and the phenomenon is creating some freakishly relatable content. Creative marketing agency Article Group has gotten in on the fun by tweeting some blank Jack-O-Lantern templates with the following caption: 

"What's a terrifying thing from your everyday life you'd write on a "painfully relatable jack-o-lantern"? Write your answer on one of these pumpkins. Winner gets a trophy!"

Their followers gleefully obliged. Their contributions are mostly work-related, but some of them are the kind of shudder-worthy experiences that leave us filled with dread. Example: being left on read for three hours. We've put together a selection of our favorites, but you can take on the whole thread right here. 

If you haven't been following the Shitty Film Details Twitter account, you're technically not missing out at all. It's chock full of largely useless and sometimes completely fabricated film facts that won't do you any favors at trivia night. But since we spend the day scrolling mindlessly through memes, we kind of dig this uselessness. Maybe you will, too. 

We can't claim to be design experts (we can barely use Photoshop) but there's no denying that these efforts can only be described as failures. Though these attempts are pretty pathetic, some of them are also incredibly funny. We just hope that none of these people shelled out the big bucks for design school. 

Meme man is back, baby, and he's here to call everyone out for their low-effort content and weak AF memes. The star of many a surreal meme is getting paired with cheap laughs much like  "You have entered the comedy area" memes. The memes target everyone's favorite sex number memes, as well as extremely tired trends such as "Nobody." If memers aren't careful, this format will end up being just like the jokes it mocks.

Internet commenters can weave absolute gold or remind us of how completely terrible the human race is. This dude Wade definitely falls into the latter category. After an unsuspecting woman told an innocent story of indulging in an ice cream pop, Wade thought that this Spongebob meme Facebook page was the perfect place for picking someone up. The page's fans disagreed, and immortalized his creepy comment the best way they know how: with memes. 

Editor's note: It's been brought to our attention that this Wade character is actually a convicted murderer - in his own words. It's not very surprising that someone who brags about killing a person would be a total creep on Facebook.

Commenters might not make the world a better place, but they definitely make it a whole lot more interesting. The r/cursedcomments subreddit is dedicated to the brave souls who go out on a limb to ruin our day - and we feel absolutely indebted to 'em. Where else can you feel nauseous, impressed, and horrified, all at once?

Is it depressing to be extremely experienced at using memes to battle boredom? Maybe. But we don't really care that much. Because being good at memes means we can help all of you have a good time. And that's worth it. 

We thought there was nothing quite as laughable as an teenager on Instagram complaining about their myriad trials and tribulations, but man, some of these cringe-filled pictures are starting to change our mind.. This pseudo-deep shit that people are putting out there is completely bonkers. And of course, we love it. 

Listen, we know the friend zone isn't real, but these woeful accounts of unrequited love are pretty damn entertaining. We just hope it didn't hurt too much.

If you've ever been a teenager or have had to raise one, you're going to enjoy these highly relatable and on-point memes. We'd all like to think that we were easy youths, but unfortunately (with some rare exceptions) that's just not true. We salute you, parents. We salute you.

Canadian stereotypes are the opposite of few and far between. In fact, whenever we find ourselves apologizing with abandon, we have to remind ourselves that we do not come from the great North and we do not have to punctuate our sentences with "sorry." Generalizations aside, we're definitely jealous of the healthcare and the poutine. So we dedicate these memes to you, Canada. We salute you.

It is our distinct pleasure to sift through the darkest corners of r/dankmemes in pursuit of some extra spicy in-jokes for the seasoned memers. This batch goes from being relatable, to slightly offensive and even a little of both. 

Drew Scanlon, aka the "Blinking White Guy" of meme fame, has had quite a lot of attention this year. The memes saw a huge resurgence earlier this summer with the introduction of "First Guy To"memes, and now dank memershave Scanlon breaking the fourth wall. They're not the best memes we've ever seen but it's always nice to see a friendly face in the sea of dank memes.

We've all heard of catfishing - but right now the internet is abuzz with the phrase "cockfishing." The term is exactly what it sounds like: a word for when men grossly misrepresent the size of their manhood in the hopes of ensnaring a sexual partner. It's mean, it's immoral, and thanks to the iPhone 11's wide mode, easier than ever. And dudes are excited.  Since the phone's announcement, folks on twitter have been responding quite favorably to the way wide mode makes a phallic shape (in this case, an innocent banana) look way longer than it actually is. It's been such a hot topic that we urge the cock-inclined to be careful when judging by a dick pic. Some things may not be as they seem.
