For certain generations, Minecraft is a foundational part of childhood. Akin to learning to ride a bike or losing your first tooth, everyone remembers the first time they encountered a creeper. It's a bit hard to describe to older and younger audiences the initial phenomenon that was Minecraft . Think of it as you would Pokemon, Fortnite, or Roblox. Things that have dominated the lives and cultures of young people. Personally, Minecraft was the de facto franchise for my generation. I spent my m…

Happy Wednesday, convention-goers, force fanboys, and Star Wars devotees! It's that time of the week again. That's right, it's that mid-week moment when we give you the best and brightest midi-chlorian-based memes ! Now, let's talk Star Wars. Comic-Con 2023 just concluded! As someone who is a little exhausted from Disney's constant, mostly mediocre output of on-screen Star Wars media, it was a breath of fresh air when the majority of Star Wars news concerned Ubisoft's upcoming Star Wars game, “…

Happy Tuesday, denizens of Gotham! We're here to deliver to you some jokes that are genuine jokes. None of that Joker nonsense, really. We're just here to give you top-of-the-line caped crusader comedy content! If you're even a little bit hip to superhero-based media , you know that two franchises dominate the genre in terms of popularity. That would be Spider-Man and Batman. Whether you're partial to one or the other, you've got to admit that the people just love them the most. They dominate e…

Happy Monday, nebulous nerds and science fiction sycophants ! It's that time when your geeky impulses are finally rewarded. To kick start your week, we've prepared a treasure of galactic memes that have been handpicked just for sci-fi fanatics. I've spent the past week viewing just about every quintessential 1980s sci-fi movie. "Terminator 2," “Aliens,” “Robocop,” “The Thing,” “Blade Runner,” and finally, “Predator.” I've had an itch for 80s horror recently and, regardless of genre, these are t…

Happy Wednesday, nerds, dorks, geeks, and force fans! It is, once again, that day of the week when we take a minute to enjoy some good old-fashioned Jedi master memes and funnies from far far away. Now let's talk some Star Wars! I think the prequels get a lot more love these days, whether or that being ironic is up to you. Back in the day, however, people absolutely despised things. I was only old enough to see “Revenge of The Sith” in theaters, but I remember people hating it even then. My dad…

There's a lot of grey area in terms of the sci-fi genre. Is “The Terminator” a sci-fi movie or a slasher horror film? I was faced with this argument the other day. I don't stand firmly on either side of the fence. Through and through, “The Terminator” is a sci-fi flick, but it's so much more than that. It's not quite a full-action film, but the elements are there where I'd forgive someone for making that classification. Based on James Cameron's original intentions, it is a horror sci-fi movie .…

Happy Friday, nerds and geeks! We're back once again for your weekly dose of everything sci-fi. There's a lot that the sci-fi genre has to offer. Like, an incomprehensible number of things. You've got poppier sci-fi, the sort of stuff that appeals to a more general audience with a little bit less technicalities to think of. Star Trek and Star Wars, for example. You've got harder sci-fi, stuff that is a bit more complicated. Something like Dune, which I admittedly could never get into, but the s…

What's your favorite science fiction movie of all time? It's a massive and incredibly influential pool to pick from, but I'm going with “Robocop” every day of the week. It's campy, well done for its time, incredible satire, and it's just so, so entertaining. Robocop is just iconic. Obviously, ignore how much the owners of the property morphed the character into the Saturday morning cartoon hero that the original movie lambasts. It's the perfect sci-fi premise. A good, morally-sound man has not…

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

Happy Monday Marvel fans and superhero heads. It’s that special time of the week when we spend a minute discussing the MCU and indulging in its memes. This week has been somewhat notable considering the premiere of Disney Plus’ “Secret Invasion,” the newest show in the Marvels line of streaming service television shows. After watching it, I’d probably rate it as highly average. That’s not necessarily bad, but a premiere with more excitement would have been preferable when you consider the recen…

It's kind of weird that “nerd” was such a major insult when we were growing up. The insinuation was devastating. But t he word “nerd,” if we want to get granular, can actually be pretty damn positive. According to the Oxford dictionary, the term is defined as follows: "1. a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest. "the executive is an unabashed film nerd" 2. DEROGATORY an unfashionable person who lacks soc…

It's Thursday, ya'll, which means we're welcoming you back to another one of our weekly intergalactic rendezvous with the best sci-fi memes we've seen lately. Buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into a collection of science fiction memes that will have you spotting references faster Han Solo can make the Kessel Run. This gallery is a chance to teleport between our favorite galaxies as we bring you everything from stupid Star Wars shitposts, to equally stupid Star Trek memes. We'd be remis…

Today is Cinco de Mayo. A day that is admittedly pretty grotesque when you consider the way it's celebrated in the United States. Yesterday, however, was a holiday that includes none of the vomit-inducing drinking and cultural appropriation that is prevalent on the fifth of May. On May 4th, geeks everywhere celebrate Star Wars Day, and they do it by sharing Star Wars-related content on pretty much every social media platform. Here at Memebase, we don't need an excuse to share sci-fi memes. In f…

They're big

No nerd's heart is safe...

Also, can we talk about how Paul Rudd never ages??
