Anyone else here ever get into the show Killing Eve? It's got everything: assassins, murder, hot people, comedy, and lots of steamy sexual tension. The story is centered around Eve Polastri ( Sandra Oh ), an MI5 desk jockey who is very, very bored with her job, and thus, her life. Some missteps lead to Poastri joining MI6 as an undercover agent tasked with tracking an extremely hot female assassin by the name of Villanelle ( Jodie Comer) . Despite Eve's history of boredom, it's Villanelle that…

Listen. We like normal memes as much as the next person. What's a normal meme, you ask? Well, one example would have to be anything in the style of Twitter. You know, when the joke comes in the form of text above an image. Usually, these memes are a pretty lowest common denominator type of entertainment. Relatable as all hell. We're talking memes about how much we need coffee to get through the day. Maybe memes about how you feel like a useless piece of sh*t and are amounting to nothing. Or the…

There's no way around it: Twitter's been a bit of a mess lately. Just last week they removed blue checks from anyone who isn't paying for Twitter Blue. Y'know, besides the likes of LeBron James , Dril, and Stephen King. It's a funny grift, and there were plenty of accounts having a field day with their new place as “normal” Twitter users. While we were kind of terrified about what our feed would look like after the axe fell ( Elon Musk said our For You pages would be all verified), we've still…

When I was a kid I used to sit in my basement and watch the same damn movies over and over again. Pocahontas, Wild America, Independence Day, The Goonies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). It's true that we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading "track00…

Does anybody enjoy reality these days? As an enthusiast of science fiction media, I find a strangely exciting solace in sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, and video games. Space, extraterrestrials, advanced technology, futuristic scenarios - it's all preferable to, say, sitting at my desk in this particular hellscape. If you're feeling similarly, we suggest you gather 'round and feast your eyes on a plethora of memes that delve deep into these beloved topics. Undoubtedly, sci-fi has emerged as one…

Everyone makes mistakes. Most of my past relationships fall into that category. While some mistakes can be funny, those errors in judgment resulted in zero laughs. We've said before that it's a bit unfair that when kids are stupid , it's cute and chuckleworthy - but when we are, it's just embarrassing. Turns out this goes for when they screw up names, too. For all the bungled introductions I've experienced (people always assume my name is actually Rihanna), none of the goofs have stuck. But kid…

I never thought I would be a cat person. My mom, a staunchly anti-cat dachshund lover, was not shy about her contempt for all felines. She'd recoil when neighborhood cats would come to her for affection, and loudly point out any time she got a whiff of disgusting cat piss. Basically, I was taught that cats are unfit for human companionship. While I enjoyed the company of my friends' feline pets, I never felt the connection. Fortunately, humans have the incredible ability to change their minds,…

It is Wednesday, my dudes. If you've spent any time on Reddit over the past few years, you're probably familiar with the inside joke, which originated in the r/me_irl subreddit. Frogs, toads, and Redditors aside, Wednesday is supposedly a day worth celebrating. But we don't really see it. Wednesday is a marker, a reminder that there's still half a week left of working - at least, that is, if you're a 9-5 office drone like we are here at Memebase. To celebrate “hump day” is to feed into the syst…

As someone who loves food, there are certain combinations that shake me to my core. Pineapple on pizza , surprisingly, is not one of them. Banana on pizza, as they enjoy in Sweden, is another story altogether. While I recoil at that abomination, like I do any at any absurdly cheesy fish dish, there are certain things I enjoy that might make someone else cry out in horror. My affection for cottage cheese topped with salsa definitely falls into that category. I may be alone in terms of that guilt…

There's not much in this world that we can count on. Except for maybe dogs. These tail-wagging best friends of “man” make life brighter for everyone, including people who don't own them. I know that when I

Dark humor at its finest

As excited as I am for the warm weather to arrive, I always feel a bit of sadness as winter ends and hibernation ceases with it. Though I often decry the pains of seasonal affective disorder, the winter blues are great for enabling behaviors that may not necessarily be the most mentally healthy. This can mean gorging oneself on rich, wintery meals. It can also mean (if you're like me) binge-watching movies and television shows. While I like a current comedy or a cooking competition as much as t…

As an aging millennial, it can be tough to keep up with current slang, despite spending roughly 70% of my waking hours on Twitter and TikTok. Even with my relative lack of literacy in this area, there are certain “hip” terms that make perfect sense to me and have unforgivingly entrenched themselves in my vocabulary. A prime example of this would be “The Ick." While describing something as “icky” isn't exactly a new concept, “The Ick” refers to something more specific: an instant kind of repulsi…

Time is weird. Five minutes doesn't sound, outwardly, like a lot of time. But it can pass in wildly different ways. Five minutes at the DMV, or waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around, can feel like an eternity. The same goes for waiting in line for a drink at a crowded bar. But five minutes doing something more enjoyable can pass a lot more quickly. A five-minute turn on some sort of amusement ride (they're usually a lot shorter) can feel like five seconds for people who enjoy them, and five year…

Whether you live in a city or a suburb (or maybe even somewhere more rural) chances are you're at least somewhat acquainted with your neighbors. Well, if they're not total maniacs who give off threatening auras. As much as I like my human neighbors, I'm far more excited about their pets. And you bet I know everything from their names to their favorite snacks and allergies. My boy Ash (gorgeous male tabby) who lives downstairs happens to be the brother of my own cat. He loves a Churu treat almos…

If you're the kind of person who spends countless hours scrolling through memes and forgets to take care of yourself, you're not alone. Memes are addictive, like potato chips; once you start, you can't stop. As humor experts who use memes to cope with anxiety and depression , we know how comforting they can be. But if you're using them to avoid confronting your issues, it might be time to consider therapy. Looking at these "therapist memes" and relatable tidbits about mental health won't solve…
