Sometimes the internet rules. Remember that scene in The Matrix where Neo and Agent Smith are having that epic fight in the subway, and then Neo hits Smith with that iconic finger-punch move in the throat? Well if you've ever wondered what that scene would be like with way more of that special move, wonder no more, because an angel re-edited the scene to bring us this gift of comedy gold.
Thank goodness it's Friday! We are back with another installment of The Dank Drop, our weekly gallery of our favorite memes from the magical world of Reddit. They're spicy. They're relatable. And some of them are damn weird. But it's good to stay up to date with Internet humor. And we all know that Reddit is where many of the best meme trends start.
The producers of John Wick couldn't have cast a more wholesome soul for a more brutal and violent role, and yet somehow it totally makes sense. And to those who haven't seen any of the John Wick movies yet: first of all, what's wrong with you? Secondly, don't worry because there aren't any spoilers in this heartwarming batch of memes. All you really need to know is that Keanu Reeves is just awesome and his John Wick character really loves dogs. If this sounds like the sort of content you're into, then scroll away.
Everybody assumes Keanu Reeves' John Wick's greatest skill is his ability to headshot 20 dudes in five seconds, but what if his actual greatest ability is being a super nice guy and a great friend? Carly Snowdon and Jordan Breeding dive straight into the shadowy weeds to discuss the qualifications of an expert assassin, what it means to be a good friend, and whether there will ever be a better action franchise than "The Raid."
This "Dad and the dog" dank meme combines two of our favorite things: dads and doggos. The meme exploits the idea that dads are truly marshmallows under their tough exteriors. The first instance of the meme featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with a cute dog, paired with a joke about a dad's hesitance about getting a dog, and his eventual love for the damn critter. The memes have been popping off since early this week, and it's easy to see why.
Last week in an Ohio convenience store on the night before Christmas, a drunk racist got decked by a fed-up man wielding a Twisted Tea and the whole thing was caught on video. The footage first surfaced on r/PublicFreakout, which you can view here, but just a warning—the clip does contain violence. Since the viral encounter, memes inspired by the incident have continued to multiply.
We've collected some of the most amusing Twisted Tea memes that hail the alcoholic beverage as the new tongue-in-cheek weapon of choice for anyone with an axe to grind.
There's no getting around it: the world is going through it. From protests around the USA to the coronavirus pandemic, things are looking and feeling bleak as hell. While these memes and posts won't solve any of the problems plaguing the globe, they do have the potential to improve your mood and remind you that there is still some good in the world. And that counts for something.
After months of delays from CD Projekt Red, gamers can finally rejoice because Cyberpunk 2077 is upon us at long last. That's right, tomorrow the game will be ready to play on Steam, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One. The hype surrounding the game is a result of far more than just the infamous delays and widespread advertising campaign. The game hasn't even been released and yet Cyberpunk 2077 has gained quite a reputation. Cyperpunk creator Mike Pondsmith's fiery responses to criticism over a viral trailer's depiction of race and gender caused a stir online over the summer, and sneak peaks of the breathtaking Keanu Reeves in all his animated, cyberpunk glory have undoubtedly contributed to all the hype.
We're pretty stoked about the game's release and all the new memes that will surely appear in the coming weeks. Here's some of the best Cyperpunk 2077 memes so far in celebration of the long-awaited release. Let's cross our fingers that they don't delay the date again before tomorrow!
Reddit's got a lot of things going for it. At its best, it's a place for people to share their interests and support one another. At its worst? A hellhole of bad political takes, creepy anime obsession, and cringey idiocy. Twitter's @AwfulReddit painstakingly collects these yucky moments and presents them in a way that masochistic lovers of schadenfreude can easily enjoy. We've put some of their latest and greatest "yikes" offerings for quick enjoyment - but be sure to follow if you dig the pain. As long as Reddit exists, we're sure they'll be churning out the funny.
Happy hump day, friends and followers. Congratulations on making it to the middle of another wretched week. To help distract you from the political shit show, we've put together yet another diverse offering of amusing memes. From gaming to exquisitely dumb shitposts, we hope this serving of humor serves as a pleasant palate cleanser. Lord knows we all need one right now.
Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.
Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.
It never ceases to amaze us that Twitter users are able to pack clever comedy into a 280 character limit. We try to fill our feed with funny writers and comedians to make our timeline a little more palatable. So we figured we'd share the wealth of tweets with you. If you like what you see, give these funny folks a follow. They deserve the recognition.
