school

As a kid who grew up poor, I always dreaded my school's "Pajama Day" There was never a greater indicator of economic differences beyond, say, sneakers. My threadbare Garfield nightgown was terribly embarrassing, and I felt awful standing next to the girls with matching two piece Aladdin-themed sets, or even Barbie. I thought that my days of thinking about pajama day were long gone, but the topic has become quite the a meme on the r/dankmemes subreddit and beyond. These memes seem to be more focused on "the kid who sleeps naked" than anything else, and the image of kids rolling through school naked on Pajama Day makes the meme's success pretty understandable. 

We're not sure if it's just changing times or people are getting bolder and funnier, but these are not the school presentations we remember! They're ballsy, irreverent, and self-deprecating perfection - and we think they all deserve an "A."

We love a tongue-in-cheek shitpost that takes us back to "the good old days," and boy, does this one check both of those boxes. Harkening back to our childhood school days with references to "independent reading time" and "silent reading time," these memes take the tone of a teacher's pet, and they're pretty freaking hilarious. To make things even funnier, the memes use Impact ironically - a touch that really takes things to the next shitpost-y level. We've scraped the hallowed halls of Know Your Meme for our favorites, but we expect to see more of these in coming days. And we ain't mad about that. 

Godspeed to all the high school students who took the PSAT today. Sorry to say that it's all downhill from here; from the real SAT to college exams, life just gets more stressful so enjoy your time as a (relatively) carefree high school student. 

If we're being honest, we don't really understand all of these memes but we trust that you will! 

And if you want a crap-load more PSAT memes, just head on over to Twitter where you can get more than you will ever need.

As meme formats go, starter pack memes have been seriously killing it since their inception. The relatable and often very specific memes started in 2014, and became so popular that there's even a subredditdedicated to the format. We put together some newer start packs for you to peruse, but we've got a whole lot more where these came from.

While most of the time when we say "LOL" we're barely making a sound, the purpose of the sentiment is to acknowledge something humorous. Or, sometimes, to lighten up something that might otherwise sound serious. These memes, tweets, and comics may not elicit a true, hearty, laugh out loud - but we're willing to bet you'll find them funny.

Let's be real: scrolling through memes is a pretty pointless activity. But pointless things can be fun. So we put together this batch of relatable memes and stupid shitposts to help satisfy your need for the meaningless. You're welcome. 

It may only be Monday (well, it's almost over) but we're already in maximum procrastination mode. This big ol' batch of memes will help you waste time, shirk your responsibilities, or just scroll away the pain of having to suffer through another week of work. You're welcome.

It is our distinct pleasure to sift through the darkest corners of r/dankmemes in pursuit of some extra spicy in-jokes for the seasoned memers. This batch goes from being relatable, to slightly offensive and even a little of both. 

As millennials on the older side of the generation, we were actually lucky to have experienced life before the internet was used for everything. It's definitely built character and probably lent us a little extra resourcefulness. Sometimes we feel like our grandparents talking about walking a mile in the snow to school when we talk about the days before smartphones, and this little text exchange between a post-millennial and an older, wiser person will show you exactly why. 

We love that teachers and professors have been getting creative with memes in the classroom. It's important to stay current, and using humor to connect with students is an amazing way to earn their respect. Twitter user and teacher @theyloveNoonie has definitely scored an A+ in this area by making these amazing "Ight Imma Head Out" Spongebob meme hall passes, and the internet is responding with a whole lot of admiration and respect. It's one thing to teach a college course in memes, but we think that adding spice to classroom mundanity via memesis even cooler. 

In the world of dank memes, pretty much nothing is shocking. Which is why we didn't even bat an eye when this illustration of Hitler in a fierce duel with Stalin started popping up as a meme all over Reddit. The wild image is being used mostly as an object-labeling meme, to represent two forces at odds - two beloved songs from Shrek and Shrek 2 come to mind as an example. While some people might think this format is low-effort, we take pleasure in the meme's basic versatility. Funny memes really don't have to be complicated.
