school memes

Saturdays might be for the boys, but we're willing to bet the boys enjoy lookin' atamusing memes, tweets and Tumblr posts. We'd wager the girls do, to. So grab your buds, head to your man cave or she-shed, and enjoy these funny pics. You deserve it.

We live in a time where people feel the need to be busy all the damn time. When people ask how we're doing, our thoughts generally turn to work or school, or how we feel about being bogged down by the responsibilities. It's important to remember that we're not just pawns of capitalist society. There's more to life than making money. We all need moments to decompress and remember that simple joys are just as important as productivity. While memes aren't necessarily going to improve your life, they are the perfect way to take a break and turn off that overactive brain of yours. This gallery is for anyone who needs that moment of purely amusing solace.

Old or young, smart or dumb, pretty much anyone can agree that this assortment of memes speaks the truth and is relatable AF. This batch features the perfect combination of fresh memes (Hello, Joker), classic themes (the pains of being in school) and even a dash of dark humor. 

Over here in the United States we're gearing up for Thanksgivingand Black Friday madness, and the stress is starting to get to us. Between navigating our craziest family members and figuring out what to bring for dinner (you know we ain't hosting) our brains are all but fried. To keep our sanity during this trying holiday time, we're resorting to a strict regimen of meme consumption.  

What do we want? Memes! When do we want 'em? All the time! Especially when it's Saturday and it feels like there's nothing better to do. This cold weather has made it harder for us to get up and go out, so we're forced to stare at the TV or stare at our phone screens. Might as well laugh while we hibernate.

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.

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.
