lockdown

We've always been honest about the entertainment that we offer you. It's a source of pride. We're not here to pretend that these are the best memes ever created. We're not going to claim that you'll be gasping for air from laughter. All we will ever promise is that we have memes. And they're funnier than the work or the studying you should be doing.  

While many things may seem uncertain right now, there's one thing we can definitely count on: memes. Even as unrest and illness plague the globe, meme-makers and posters are still hard at work giving us the comedy we need to survive. And we've got a whole lot of that comedy right here for you.

We come bearing gifts, and we come with a message. The message? Don't let boredom take hold of your poor, poor brain. The gifts? A crap ton of memes, tweets, and Tumblr posts that will aid you in the long-running battle against tedium. Use these tools, and use them well. 

Kobe Bryant's death, wildfires, World War III, Chernobyl 2.0, plague, murder hornets, and probably some other things we're forgetting. If you went back in time by six months to warn yourself about how horrible 2020 was going to be, would you believe any of it? Probably not. And now that we're months into quarantine, it feels like we'll all be stuck in our homes forever. 

Whatever, who cares, have some memes.

With many gaming-inclined people stuck indoors, it seems like everyone and their mom has been playing Animal Crossing. The latest iteration of the game, called New Horizons, was released on March 20th for Nintendo Switch. The game's popularity and a world on lockdown has made it almost impossible for anyone to buy the system. It's also made it so the internet is absolutely flush with Animal Crossing memes. And we've got a lot of them right here.  

As we blast into another sad weekend with nothing to do, let's take a minute to enjoy some memes. They're a low-pressure and, at least for right now, low-guilt activity with which to expend ones dullest hours. This assortment of amusing tweets, Tumblr posts, and memes is just the tip of the iceberg. If you find yourself needing more, check out some of our latest meme galleries here and here. Happy scrolling! 

Lockdown's been hard on a lot of people. The monotony often saps any creativity we feel and being cooped up is both physically and emotionally suffocating. We had imagined that the situation at nursing homes was even more dire. The anxiety and depression that afflicts both the most vulnerable and people who are, often naturally, nearing the ends of their lives. 

The folks at Sydmar Lodge Care Home in Middlesex, however, found a fun way to beat the lockdown blues. Instead of moping about, they teamed up with their caregivers to recreate some of the most iconic album covers of all time. The covers, which range from Elvis Presley to the more current Blink-182, are incredibly wholesome - and look like they were a blast to make. 

We don't believe you need excuses to mindlessly scroll through memes. But the fact that it's Saturday and the world seems to be ending seem like damn good reasons to turn your brain off for a while and indulge. And these memes right here should help you do just that. 

Thank goodness for the constant stream of entertainment that comes from the Twitterverse. Sure, perusing Twitter means desperately avoiding smug or cringey political takes and K-pop stans, but sometimes we find gems that are worth it. This gallery is filled with relatable, weird, and clever tweets and memes that are pretty inoffensive. They're a perfect and non-committal break whether you're tired of the monotony or just love pointless tweets. Have at 'em! 

We're aware that not everyone on this site is familiar with Warhammer 40k. But with all the lockdowns and quarantine, there's a lot more time to invest in painting your miniatures and playing the wargame. While these memes may not be as fun as actually taking part, the references will be appreciated by the true heads.

Want to enjoy funny and relatable tweets without having to subject yourself to the absolute hell that is Twitter? We've got you covered. These tweets are fresh, clever, and may leave you personally attacked. But that's how we like 'em.
