Finally. Here in the Northeast the long and oppressive winter is beginning to loosen its grip on our poor, seasonal depression-addled sou ls. The sun is starting to pop out, the open-toe shoes are getting paraded around town, and teachers are starting to feel the restlessness that happens before school's out for summer. If kids think they have it hard, though, they need to get real and start thinking about their teachers. They deserve our pity. By mid-May, they're on the verge of insanity after…

Pain

God. It has been a year. Or two. Or maybe even three. It feels as though I no longer have a grip on time. Perhaps it's because of the pandemic. Maybe it's because as you get older, time starts to move faster. But it could also be the crippling depression that makes a fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While the sunshine has slowly started to return to New York and peoples moods seem to be improving, I still can't help but feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I go about my day-…

Hello there, dear internet friends. We don't want to sound rude, but we need to chat. It's not easy for me to say this. But listen. I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure we both know that you have probably looked and felt better. And we have been worried about you. This isn't really an intervention, but we need to know if life is getting you down. How is your sleep schedule? We're not experts here at Memebase, but it kind of seems like you are in need of a pause - a meme break, if you will. You can't hide…

Everyone has their own preferred ways of seeking pleasure and wiling their spare hours away. Some people like to binge watch reality tv on their cozy sofas, surrounded by snacks and beverages. There are some folks who prefer to indulge in more productive activities, such as woodworking, scrapbooking, gardening or even baking a lovely loaf of tangy sourdough bread. Others still? They devote their spare moments to their nurtured talents. That could be a musical talent, writing, or even drawing an…

It's truly incredible how many people will complain about stuff they've completely elected to engage with. They click a link that says “ Random Memes ” or some iteration of it, and then complain that they're not to their liking. Well, guess what? Not everyone likes the same memes, and as someone who curates these batches of reasonably funny tidbits, I can tell you with complete certainty, that there's literally no way anyone can make everyone happy. People think the content is too normie, I mak…

Hey, you. You over there. Yeah, you. I want to let you in on a little secret about memes , and internet content in general. You see, contrary to the beliefs of some insufferable and pretentious internet enjoyers, memes really don't have to be intelligent to be amusing. Memes don't need to shout out some niche subculture, Twitter celebrity, or meme trend. They don't even need to be that much of an inside joke to qualify them for appreciation. In fact, we're partial to the opinion that stupid mem…

We've all heard the classic adage that “diamonds are forever”. It's a phrase that exists to communicate that only an expensive diamond will ensure a lifetime of blissful wedded commitment. Unfortunately, judging by all the divorced couples milling around the globe, the adage is more than a little bit misleading. Think of all the people on their third marriages! At the end of the day, there's very little in the way of permanence during this silly existence. Even this big old planet can't escape…

It sometimes feels like memes get a bad reputation. It seems that to some humorless individuals, they're considered a pedestrian form of entertainment. Maybe it's because they're so relatable, or because it's hard to brag about memes instead of theory. There are also people thumb their nose at them, writing them off as a huge waste of time, a - a destroyer of productivity , and perhaps a way to avoid being present. Those people don't see the full picture. Though it's undeniable that memes can s…

Congratulations, readers. You've survived the perils of Monday. While I, too, experienced that reluctant and sluggish submission to responsibilities, I also had a therapy session this morning. Which makes bending over for the man a little more tolerable. Instead of focusing on the time that's been spent on boring things like “work” and “chores,” it's important to be present and enjoy the moment, however possible. We've put together this big batch of memes with the intent of aiding you in that q…

Happy weekend, friends. If you're an office drone like me, you're probably chilling at home, trying to make the most of the scraps of time you can call your own. And if you're really like me, you might be watching The Office for the umpteenth time. For many of us, the show never gets old. And judging by my friend groups, the show appeal to literally everyone. Even my nihilistic punk former boyfriend was moved to tears on his fifth viewing of Jim and Pam's wedding. If you're making stoic and sur…

What up, party people? It's the freakin' weekend, as someone who was cancelled would say. It's our hope that you're off doing something meaningful that will help you in the self-growth department. But guess what? It's totally cool if you're not. We get it. Life is tiring. You can't always be productive, even when it's in the name of self care . Sometimes the energy that you muster is just enough to change the channel on your television, or silently scroll through memes. If you're in the latter…

"We're going to make the infraction worth the punishment"

Marvel fans are rejoicing as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is released across the country. The reviews are mostly favorable, with CNET saying that the picture lives up to the Doctor's name ("The strangest Marvel movie yet."). Other reviews say it's over-the-top, and messy in a good way. As stoked as everyone is, across the internet we're seeing fervent pleas for people to keep spoilers to themselves. Fortunately for you, we haven't seen it and have been avoiding detailed reviews,…

It's a rough week to be searching for funny parenting content . While Twitter is usually overflowing with cute quips from tired child-rearers, this week has felt a bit more somber. Instead of sharing stories about cute kids and their hilarious failures , many parents are taking to the website to address the Roe v. Wade leak that occurred earlier this week (at the same time as the Met Gala ). Fortunately, we were able to wade through the politics and locate the funny tweets we all need right now…

Ah, the dark and dreary days of early Spring . Here on the East Coast, the cold winter (and the accompanied deep, deep depression ) has rendered us into mopey messes with little to no energy or ambition. Big old blobs of lazy flesh that can't make good on their promises to finally cook dinners and lunches for themselves instead of ordering expensive takeout. Sad sacks that can barely find the strength to lift the remote control to change the channel or program you're binge watching. Recently, w…
