It's easy to become immersed in video games - look at the success of Elden Ring and the time its devoted enthusiasts spend trying to beat the damn thing. Despite all the hours poured into them, video games are obviously not real life. And that's a good thing, too – if they were, I suspect a fair few of us would be guilty of crimes against humanity and tried in the Hague. Think of how full the prisons would be, and how stupid everyone on the street would look. Bad hair. Weirdly boob-enhancing ar…

Feast your eyes

What would the internet be without memes ? Just a bunch of advertisements and obnoxious complaining. I don't even want to imagine an internet without memes. Instead of dwelling on nightmarish alternate realities, how about we all enjoy some nice and dumb memes together. We've got just the collection of funny randoms that'll make the day feel a little lighter.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, is this not the sexiest stripper of them all?”

“I forget that's an actual PERSON in there…”

Is it actually even possible for a Karen to be rehabilitated into an empathetic functioning adult?

Happy Tuesday to all our favorite Lord of the Rings worshipping freaks. And an extra happy Tuesday to all the Dads out there who teach their progeny to love the work of J.R.R. Tolkien. My own father imparted this interest upon me when I was a zitty tween, and I haven't looked back since. Which is why I've somehow ended up making these weekly LOTR meme compilations for this godforsaken website. This week, we're seeing a lot less of the Zoomerification (or “bussin',” if you will) memes, but there…

They're good enough

It's really been feeling like everyone is detrimentally caught up in productivity and being busy. It's like some gross badge of honor when talking with friends or family about what they've been up to. "Oh my god, I'm so busy right now, when will this ride stop?" you say to your peers when you're asked about how you're doing. Only it's not just "right now." After a while, that answer is all there is. Busy has become the norm - if you're not stressed or just constantly grinding, sometime feels of…

May as well

Well, this would've never happened when it came out in the '80s…

There's not much we can rely on in this cold and cruel world. A close friend and I were chatting recently (after copious amounts of wine) and she revealed to me the staggering number of married men that boldly slide into her dms as though they're single and ready to freaking mingle. I shared how many people had lied to me in the past couple years, and the duplicitous nature of some misguided friendships with narcissistic people. It wasn't a happy conversation. Despite all these breaches of trus…

“Problematic or awkward jokes? I can't really tell…”

Listen. Even we here at Memebase are humble enough to admit that it is impossible to consistently serve up the very best memes to grace the many pages of the internet. There are simply not enough witty, intelligent and funny people creating them these days - and not enough people with good taste sharing the good ones that already exist. If we are being totally sincere about why and when we seek out these tasty morsels of comedy, the best of the best really isn't necessary. We're more interested…

As much as I try to hide it, when something crappy happens, I'm gonna carry it with me for the rest of the day. If I get an obnoxious Slack message from a higher up as soon as I wake up, I'm gonna be grumbling from under the covers and all through my commute. Don't even get me started on the commute. The subway is always screwed up, there's inevitably someone screaming about Hell or the “people” who are “after them”, and worst of all? There's usually someone doing something disgusting like eati…
