know your meme

Well, we've got to add this one to the list of meme mashups that seriously surprised us but work extremely well. The photo used for the meme is from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, a scene during which Mace Windu confronts Emperor Palpatine. In this meme, however, Palpatine is replaced by a very unthreatening image of Wallace from the Wallace and Gromit series of movies. The juxtaposition is hilariously absurd, perfect for self-deprecating memes. We've put our favorites in this gallery, but you can read more about this meme over at Know Your Meme.

We've been itching for a new object-labeling meme, and we're happy to report there's finally one on the scene. Earlier this week this photo of a kid holding fire in front of an amazed teacher started popping up around Reddit's myriad meme communities, and its blown up to a point where we've got enough of the memes to share with you. The memes generally revolve around impressing someone with something stupid or shocking, so they're pretty damn versatile - and pretty damn funny. 

It's already felt like an eternity since we finished Netflix's The Witcher, but memes about the show are anything but dead. This particular Witcher format features Henry Cavill's chiseled mug uttering Geralt's classic "Hmm." It's not a complicated meme, but that makes it pretty versatile and easy to understand. For more information about this contemplative format, check out the entry on Know Your Meme.

Our boy Elon Musk might be the most cringey billionaire on the scene right now, and we can't help but love the resulting meme content. 

We love a tongue-in-cheek shitpost that takes us back to "the good old days," and boy, does this one check both of those boxes. Harkening back to our childhood school days with references to "independent reading time" and "silent reading time," these memes take the tone of a teacher's pet, and they're pretty freaking hilarious. To make things even funnier, the memes use Impact ironically - a touch that really takes things to the next shitpost-y level. We've scraped the hallowed halls of Know Your Meme for our favorites, but we expect to see more of these in coming days. And we ain't mad about that. 

We may not be medical professionals but we definitely know when someone has gotten work. It's baffling that someone in the spotlight would undergo serious cosmetic procedures and think their fans wouldn't notice, but it keeps happening. Yesterday, after photos from the red carpet were released, Simon Cowell went from being a judge to being judged - and harshly. The notoriously cranky English judge of America's Got Talent has been on our television screens since 2001, and many fans were shocked at his transformation. 

It's pretty obvious to most people that Cowell has gotten work done, though he's attributing his new look to his vegan diet and weight loss. Perez Hilton seems to think otherise: "I'm going with: new veneers, fillers in the cheek, Botox in the forehead and a possible eye job too! What do U think of the new Simon Cowell???" We're inclined to agree. And judging by these hilarious reactions to the dude's face, so is Twitter.

Know Your Meme,our favorite authority on all things meme-related, just put together a pretty comprehensive entry on presentation meme formats. Those Lisa Simpson memes you love? Yeah, they're in there. We've rounded up some of our favorites, but we hope you'll take the time to make your own. We're firm believers that we should always "say it with memes." 

We all know that guy (or guys) who will stop at nothing to downplay the pain of childbirth, insisting that his pain as a man is much, much worse than any woman will ever know. The truth is, we'll never know whose pain is worse. In the mean time, these trending memes poke fun at that sentiment in the best way possible.

We all love a good self-deprecating joke. It gives you the opportunity to make fun of yourself before anyone else can make fun of you. Accordingly, this trending Twitter meme, "Some of you were never...," highlights some of the embarrassing behaviors of the past that we can all relate to!

This trending meme was inspired by Peter Parker mentoring Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse,, which turned into a satirical meme mocking things that are perceived as inferior by the internet.

Originally a still from the Bollywood film 2.0, "This is Beyond Science" memes serve as a satirical response to what we don't understand.

"Man it hurts to be this hip" is a song lyric sung by the character Leo Luster in the early-2000s animated adaptation of Donkey Kong Country. The meme itself is for those who perhaps think they're more with it than they really are.

"No-Context" or "Out-of-Context" memes take screenshots of pop culture references and provide absolutely no background information on them. They're funny because no one knows what the hell they're actually referring to!

"Not a Cell Phone in Sight" memes seem to have not an end in sight. If you're not familiar with these satirical bits of nostalgia, they make fun of those who say that times were better before smart phones existed. Click here if you want to see part I!
