To boldly go where no meme has gone before

Neverending stories

A lot of people treat animated media as if it's lesser, childish, and not to be taken seriously. Obviously, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of animation expert, but if you've seen a single Studio Ghibli film, Pixar, or even just the newest Spider-Verse flick, you know just how impressive the genre can be. Sure, there are low-effort movies aimed at the sole objective of entertaining children. But that's not exclusive to animation . Just look a…

Have you ever had one of those weeks where things just continually got worse? I'm in the midst of one of those periods and I have to admit the sense of self-pity has shifted entirely to one of hilarity. How is it even possible for so much to go cosmically wrong in such a serialized, increasingly unfortunate spree? I'm not sure, but at this point the only option I have is laughter. Sometimes that's all you need to put things into perspective. Sure, I twisted my ankle, came down with a cold, and…

Happy Friday Avengers aficionados and Superhero fanatics! It's that time of the week again when we give you your fill of the mightiest and most astonishing Marvel-related funnies that the internet has to offer. Time to discuss some Marvel. It's getting more than tiring talking about Marvel's “Secret Invasion.” Looking at the most recent MCU meme offering, it seems people won't stop dunking on it. This is a bit peculiar seeing as how quickly fan bases forget about things just to move on to the n…

Happy Monday, sci-fi nerds, geeks, and everything in between! It is, once again, that time of the week when we deliver the content for your necessary nerdy hankering . What's your favorite sci-fi franchise ? The obvious choices are either Star Trek or Star Wars—Trekkies versus Star Wars fans, a tale as old as time. Whether or not you are partial to any side of fandom, you have to admit there are some pretty stellar sci-fi franchises besides the big two, right? Me? I'm a huge fan of The Matrix s…

How do you feel about the hijacking of internet culture by corporate accounts? I'll admit, it was a little cute at first. Take Wendy's for example, they were one of the figureheads who popularized the trend. They appealed to their audience through Twitter memes , they joked with their followers, and they talked smack to other brands on social media. It was uncharted territory and refreshing to see. That was until every other brand adopted the model. When every brand tries to be the cool kid, no…

Now, I was never a committed emo kid back in the good old days. I was a little bit too young to fully adopt the lifestyle, plus my mom would have never let it fly. I was more in the music appreciator sphere. I was very much into all the quintessential bands, My Chemical Romance specifically. While that might sound a little trite, it is, I was and still continue to be a super fan. So what did it mean to be emo back in the mid-aughts? Did you have to adopt the aesthetic? Did you have to attend Wa…

It's been a minute since I've been to the gym. Like so many other people, I went to the gym, got a membership, did my first session, did one more the next day, and then proceeded to stop going to the gym. The motivational impulse to begin to regularly go to the gym is nearly irresistible. Improving your mental and physical health through a gym routine? That sounds incredible. The sad thing is building discipline takes genuine effort. That explains why so many of us are left right at the startin…

While I definitely feel like I have a wide variety of music genres that I listen to these days, I was undoubtedly a rock music kid. I grew up in a rock n' roll household and was constantly exposed to the music. I'm also a long-time bass and guitar player. Although I very much vibe with rock music, it was pretty much all that was available to me, so that's what I ran with. Although, I can't understate how big of an impact the first few “Guitar Hero” games had on my musical taste. I can still rol…

Have you ever considered how much time you spend looking at memes ? Not even intentionally, but just how much you're exposed to memes. I can't say an exact figure, but I'd argue that I spend at least half of my waking hours exposed to the things. They're everywhere. Not just on Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media. You're seeing memes crammed into just about every form of media. Not even just in media format! Your friends, family, and colleagues are directly referencing meme content. Ma…

Memes just for you

It's Britney, bish

She had no idea who Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson were… How is that even possible??

No one wants to read and Google

Even when the reality is not so glamorous, the entertainment industry can seem like a magical place. Looking in from the outside, it's easy to wonder how they accomplish the feats in some of our favorite movies and TV shows, or even what those millions of dollars in production costs get used for. This is why @behind_pics is here, to give us an amusing insight into the process of creating all the pop culture that we know and love. If we can take anything from these behind the scenes photos, it's…
