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 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.
You don't have to be a gamer to appreciate this Call of Duty meme format. This meme from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes from a scene in which General Shepherd shoots down both the player-character and Roach, an act of betrayal as he is thought to be an ally. As pretty much everyone alive (or dead) has experienced some form of treachery, the format is incredibly versatile and extremely relatable. It's being used to describe classic betrayal scenarios as well as smaller, petty and amusing disloyalty, such as asking the teacher to collect the homework. We've put together some of our favorites, but if they're not enough, you can check out some of our gaming collections here and here.

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.
We post a whole lot of meme lists, but most of them kind of veer to the relatable and normie zones of memes. That's why every now and then we like to peruse the r/dankmemes subreddit for content that may be a little hotter than what we usually post. Because you're worth it.
