Thank god we've made it through this hellish week to Friday!  The incredible reward for your toiling and misery is, you guessed it, a metric f*ckton of dank memes, funny jokes, and a dash of self-deprecation. 

Y'all deserve a serious pat on the back for making it through Terrible Tuesday. Or perhaps a Popeyes chicken sandwich, since that's what everyone is talking about. Whether you decide to indulge in fast food or physical rewards, these memes will make low-calorie way of lifting your mood after a boring day or even one that feels as though it were spawned in hell. 

Completely sapped after a long Monday of pain? We've got something that will help you out. These dank memes and funny pics will re-energize you so that you can make the most of of the time that matters - the time you're not spending on the clock! 

If you're tired of normie memes or you just don't feel like logging onto Reddit, we've got the fresh and dank sh*t taken care of just for you. These memes cover all the bases: insanely dumb sh*tposts, boner jokes, and, unfortunately, Donald Trump. There's truly something here for everyone.

We can't all be Einstein-level geniuses, but that is actually perfectly okay. And there are definitely memes out there for people with just a few less brain cells than everyone else. 

Sure, we may have made it through the Monday-Friday work week, but what are we left with? A few pennies and extremely depleted energy levels? Fortunately for all you tired sad sacks, we've got some memes that require very little brain power and will leave you a bit happier than you were before.

We've already recently covered this topic, but honestly the memes have been so good that we felt like we had to bring you even more of them.

We certainly don't want to get too deep into the politics of exactly what causes gun violence in America in light of recent tragedies, but one thing seems to be certain here: both gamers and non-gamers alike on both sides of the political spectrum are coming together to reject the idea that video games are what cause it.

So here are 17 brand new, freshly baked memes that roast the (lack of) logic that video games are the violent culprit!

This dank meme was inspired by the Skyrim Skill Tree which, if you're unfamiliar with the game, is its leveling-up system that demonstrates proficiency in a specified skill. In these particular memes, the skill at hand is the "destruction" of one's enemy using the most brutal insults, which we're always here for.

While the nation mourns the lives lost in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and the media continue to find ways to insist that guns don't kill people, video games do. President Trump jumped on the bandwagon during his national address yesterday, condemning the "glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace." The sentiment is frankly outrageous, and has zero evidence to back it. The inevitable backlash began on Twitter, with the #VideoGamesAreNotToBlame hashtag, and quickly grew to include memers in the r/dankmemes community. As of yesterday, the informative memes (some include graphs) have been hovering at the top of the page. Here are our favorites. 

The people have spoken. And the people want more Dungeons & Dragons memes. Fortunately we're not ones to keep y'all wanting.

Gather round, my weary and wandering Internet travelers. We know the day has been long and hard. Why not take a load off and peruse these freshly plucked memes, fresh from the ripened loins of the r/dankmemessubreddit? 

Gaming really is an effective way to escape reality, at least temporarily. Gamers are often the butt of internet jokes, but honestly we can totally understand your desire to get away from it all and dive right into a completely different world. So have at these memes, which we think our gamer audience will appreciate!
