parody

When we first saw this comic, we thought that it was completely serious. But after scrolling down a little, you'll find that this is anything but the usual clickbaity relationship drivel. Instead of telling us that we're doomed for sleeping on opposite sides of the bed, the comic (from Sad and Useless) takes a weird and dark turn. Mostly thanks to a guy named Pete.

We feel sort of bad for these poor, gullible individuals who devoured satirical headlines from The Onion, but at the same time, they're providing us with a lot of entertainment, so we'll take it.

As Covid-19 cases surge in Texas after what many people are calling a premature reopening, people are still complaining about masks and having to stay home. And there are some even worse people, who despite the call for citizens to stay home, are instead spending their time at restaurants and then having the gall to complain about service. 

Twitter user @jsv4 made himself ripe for roasting and parodies when he decided to criticize the service at Mi Cocina Tex Mex in Allen, Texas.

"@MiCocina_TexMex My wife, date night after 3+ months locked up on quarantine. Waiting for shredded cheese as it's the only way she can eat fajitas. We've asked 4 people, going on 18 minutes now. Just unreal at Allen, TX location. We gotta quit blaming #COVID19 for crappy service."

He paired the text with an image of his wife looking distraught. Distraught over a lack of shredded cheese - an accompaniment that isn't even served with fajitas. Twitter users were quick to call out this male Karen for his blatant disregard for both the pandemic and the servers who really have no choice but to serve entitled individuals who feel its their right to dine out during a national emergency. We've included the best roasts and parodies of the tweet here, but we're willing to bet we'll be seeing more. And we hope the savagery discourages other entitled folks from frivolous dining and cold-hearted complaining.

While some people are binge-watching television shows and devoting hours to baking fresh sourdough loaves, other people are turning to their creative outlets during quarantine. People have a lot more time to devote to everything from making masks and music, designing their own clothes, and creating stunning works of visual art. Other crafty individuals, such as writer and illustrator Steph Plant, are using their skills to bring some much-needed humor into the world.

While reading the classic Richard Scarry book What Do People Do All Day?  to her son, Plant found herself wondering the same about the thousands of people who have been unable to leave their homes. While her child napped, she began using Photoshop to create a "Quarantine edition" of the adorable animal-filled book. It's a pretty simple premise, but achingly relatable. And extremely entertaining.

Sometimes all it takes to create a twitter meme is a little bit of patronizing 'tude and a pandemic. After people started tweeting about the environmental benefits of coronavirus lockdowns, Twitter users began sharing their own parody tweets. Here are some of our favorite tweets that suggests we are the virus - and that the Earth is better off. 

We've all seen those hilarious advertisements claiming "one weird trick that obliterates belly fat," or "the reason dermatologists hate her!" Does anyone actually fall for that sh*t anymore? Clearly someone does is if they still exist. We'll blame the Boomers for that. Now please enjoy these parody memes we're thoroughly enjoying at the moment!

While the entire world freaks out about the Wuhan coronavirus, memers are using humor to mitigate the panicky feelings. And with the first confirmed case in New York City, those fears certainly aren't going to go away any time soon. 

Twitter user @actioncookbook started this hilarious Twitter thread using classic hit songs and advisory warnings from the Center for Disease Control. We found it effing hilarious and we think you will too.

There are very few Instagram accounts out there that are better than Obvious Plant. We just really want to know where the hell they come up with their absurd content, because we're certainly not clever enough. 

If you like it then check out more of their content from the source itself on Instagram!

We're sucker for puns, parodies and the Star Wars universe. It should be no surprise that geniuses on Tumblr have managed to pack all of the above into this genius parody of the Star Wars prequels. This one is a mashup of The Killers' classic Mr. Brightside and the cult classic (and very poorly reviewed) films. It's a wonderful witty ride, and we're upset we didn't think of it first.
