Let the games begin!

We are not on the same internet that we were on in 2012. In just ten short years, the world of memes has exploded to become so much bigger than we ever thought it could be. New memes and trends are created daily, and unless you're a certified meme professional, it's challenging to keep up. Who else remembers when only a couple of memes absolutely dominated the meme landscape ? Back when I was a tween, rage comics were everywhere. There was a rage comic for every emotional expression under the s…

Not all memes are created equal. Some thrive for a short period just to get beaten to the ground like the dead horses they are. Others can sail on forever, generally accepted by the meme-consuming population as “good." The following memes are none of those things. These memes were rotten from the first time they were posted on the world wide web.

Being on Twitter in 2018 could be a painful experience for various reasons, but none more painful than the never-ending onslaught of brands trying to be funny.

Minions are largely unrecognizable from any other earthly animal, which brings up a question that is both hilarious and macabre: could a person eat a minion? Now, this is not a new question. For years, people have been curious about the ethics and practicalities of gobbling up…

Twitter is one of the most fascinating websites on the internet. As those wiser than I have already pointed out, it is the only social media platform where nobody can escape from being roasted, humiliated, or metaphorically tarred and feathered by the masses.

The discourse upon discourse can sometimes be too much for people, and I don't…

It's hard for anyone to predict meme cycles , but movie studios seem to have a particularly tough time doing it. A movie can do everything possible to try and make itself a meme, but the films that gets memed the most tend to be popular commercial movies from major studios. It makes sense that there were a lot of memes about Encanto , for instance, because millions of people saw that movie. This reality begs the question: can a film that has been memed to death before it has even been released…

Minions have been part of the cultural conversation longer than anyone could've guessed. First debuting in the Steve Carell vehicle Despicable Me in 2010, minions were an instant phenomenon, becoming a merchandising powerhouse comparable to Disney. Minions became the popular subjects of Facebook memes , often featured in relatable image macros for an older demographic. While minions were initially received quite positively, the meme world turned on them in 2015 during the release of their spino…

Make it stop.
