TGIF, meme enthusiasts. We've returned with another edition of what we call "The Dank Drop." It's our weekly gallery of our favorite trending memes on Reddit. Last week was all about Oprah's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. And while they make a couple appearances in this collection, the memes are a bit more varied. Which we're thankful about. 

TGIF, meme lovers. We're back with another edition of what we call "The Dank Drop." It's our weekly collection of the best trending memes on Reddit. Last week was all about the horny Aunt Cass memes (yikes), but this week it seems that memers had the most fun riffing on Oprah's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. While we generally prefer a little more variety in our weekly meme galleries, the memes are damn good. And you crave more of these recent memes, you can check out last week's batch. Happy scrolling.

When boredom strikes, what will you do? Do you have someone to turn to? Or are you left to your own devices? Boredom can strike at ANY TIME. It's very important to be prepared, to have a plan. And unfortunately, you can't rely on people to quell the tedium. You need to depend on yourself. That's why we're here to promote memes. When the going gets boring, they're our number one solution. You don't need money to enjoy them, and you don't need a friend. Memes are the self-sufficient humor-lover's antidote to monotony. And we've got a whole lot of them right here for you.

British Twitter woke up to some spicy royal tea this morning after Oprah's primetime special with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aired last night on CBS. The hour-long special covered many aspects of the inner workings of life in the royal family, mostly focused on Meghan's experience both before and after her wedding. Meghan debunked a tabloid rumor about having made Kate Middleton cry over some flower girl dresses (apparently it was actually Kate who made Meghan cry)—a bit of gossip that may seem absurdly trivial to most, but was a big 'turning point' for Meghan and the start of a decline in her wellbeing and mental health. The tabloids from then on depicted Meghan as a sort of villain, and the side-by-side comparisons of how the media treated Kate compared to Meghan for literally the same innocuous behavior is telling of the double standard Meghan had to put up with. For example, headlines about Kate 'tenderly cradling' her baby bump were very different from the ones about how Meghan 'can't keep her hands off her baby bump.' Oprah made another comparison between a headline about Kate eating avocados 'to help with morning sickness' vs. Meghan's love for avocados, a fruit that is 'linked to human rights abuse and drought.' We can't make this stuff up.

In the interview, Meghan discusses her mental health, how she was silenced by the royal family, how she and Harry were told that their son Archie would not be receiving security because of his title, and how she did not feel protected despite what she had been told. Meghan revealed that not only was the firm 'willing to lie to protect other members of the family, but they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband.' Sound familiar? The royal family certainly has a history of trying to take control of the public narrative at the expense of the people involved in rumors and scandal and many on Twitter have been drawing parallels between Meghan's and Princess Diana's experiences. Perhaps the most scandalizing divulgence in the interview was when Meghan and Harry revealed that some members of the royal family had previously brought up concerns about the color of their future children's skin. Not that it's a huge surprise that members of the royal family are racist, but this bit of tea sparked quite a reaction from both Oprah and Twitter.

We've collected some hot takes and Twitter reactions to the primetime special. It's been quite a day for Black Twitter vs. British Twitter.

When I was a kid my mother used to tell me that only boring people get bored. As an adult, I know that this is absolutely not true. But we do have a remedy for people feeling bored and listless. The remedy? This gallery of stupid, funny, and nonsensical memes. It might not keep you busy for very long, but even a few minutes of happy scrolling counts for someone.

Welcome to the world, little dude! The royal family announced the birth of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, whom they gave quite an unusual name: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, to be precise. Quite a mouthful, eh?

While the name itself was already a prime target of jokes, Twitter went off after Daily Express tweeted that the couple had chosen "UNUSUAL name for baby that UNIFIES the US and UK." Bizarre choice of headline, as you'll be able to see down below!

Conservative British media personality Katie Hopkins made waves last week after comparing Meghan Markle to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Hopkins' tweet featured photos of the women in their wedding dresses, claiming there is no competition - and that you can't buy class. Haters of the former UK Apprentice star quickly fought back with some EXTREME pettiness the way Hopkins has aged. Karma is a b*tch, Katie!!

Congratulations are in order for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! The duo said their vows on Saturday and people from all over the world tuned into their tellies to witness the high profile occasion. While we appreciate a public declaration of love as much as the next sap, you know we're really in it for the memes. And this couple's wedding has definitely delivered.
