Literature was my least favorite subject growing up. It felt like the teachers (and later, professors) had some elevated sense of self that required them to be dismissive of any analysis that was different than their own. While discussing the tired and antiquated Scarlet Letter , the woman would cock her head when I spoke, letting me know she “didn't follow” and “not quite sure I understand.” Weird flex, but okay. The low caliber of English literature teachers le me to pursue other related cour…

These days, with all the horrible and stressful things going on in the world, you wouldn't think we need to make things feel even crazier by asking "what if?" through art. But somehow, the science fiction genre is still alive and kicking. And we believe it's the ultimate escape from reality, with its far-out planets and mind-blowing technology. That said, science fiction isn't just about the crazy stuff, the fighting, or the special effects. It's the characters that really get us hooked, and th…

As you explore this collection of memes, be warned: You may find yourself immersed in a galaxy far, far away. One thing that we love about Star Wars memes, or and fandom's memes, is that fans like us have meticulously crafted these memes to bring laughter and joy to the people who can relate. From iconic…

It's kind of weird that “nerd” was such a major insult when we were growing up. The insinuation was devastating. But t he word “nerd,” if we want to get granular, can actually be pretty damn positive. According to the Oxford dictionary, the term is defined as follows: "1. a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest. "the executive is an unabashed film nerd" 2. DEROGATORY an unfashionable person who lacks soc…

Greetings fellow sci-fi fans! We're back with another one of our weekly batches of entertaining science fiction content. As someone who enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars, I've curated a collection of sci-fi memes and humor that I think a lot of you might find amusing. You see, sci-fi is more than just a genre, it's a world of adventure, exploration, and imagination that allows us to escape reality, even if it's just for a little while. And what better way to celebrate it than with a collectio…

Today is Cinco de Mayo. A day that is admittedly pretty grotesque when you consider the way it's celebrated in the United States. Yesterday, however, was a holiday that includes none of the vomit-inducing drinking and cultural appropriation that is prevalent on the fifth of May. On May 4th, geeks everywhere celebrate Star Wars Day, and they do it by sharing Star Wars-related content on pretty much every social media platform. Here at Memebase, we don't need an excuse to share sci-fi memes. In f…

Happy May 4th, to anyone who celebrates this hallowed day. But let's be real: Star Wars fans don't really need a day to express their love for the magical sci-fi series. Every single day on the Internet might as well be Star Wars Day. You don't have to look far to understand that George Lucas' devotees are serious about the movies, television shows, games and even books that flesh out the very special universe. There are subreddits galore dedicated to our favorite trilogies and spinoffs, and me…

I've been a Star Wars fan since pretty much the age of five. I went from watching the original trilogy to playing the computer games my dad purchased at Costco. And while some of the re-enactments my cousin and I did were dark AF, I have always enjoyed the lighthearted side of the franchise, including the endless stream of memes that have been created over the years. From classic quotes to hilarious mashups, the world of Star Wars memes is as diverse and entertaining as the galaxy far, far away…

Does anybody enjoy reality these days? As an enthusiast of science fiction media, I find a strangely exciting solace in sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, and video games. Space, extraterrestrials, advanced technology, futuristic scenarios - it's all preferable to, say, sitting at my desk in this particular hellscape. If you're feeling similarly, we suggest you gather 'round and feast your eyes on a plethora of memes that delve deep into these beloved topics. Undoubtedly, sci-fi has emerged as one…

Let the nerdery begin

What up, nerds? It's Friday, which means that here at Memebase we're gearing up for a little bit of freedom after a grueling workweek. And what do we do with that freedom? Well, we escape, of course. Escapism isn't a new phenomenon. Humans have probably been indulging in it in some form since the dawn of man. Some people escape by drowning their sorrows at the local watering hole, while others sink into the couch, enjoying the same shows they've been watching ( The Office) over and over again f…

As a lover of science fiction and fantasy , I am always hesitant - or unwilling - to choose a favorite of the genres. Both have many merits, and, like, why should I have to choose between them? I feel just as excited by clanging sword fights, magic spells, and pastoral views as I am about dystopian cyberpunk futures with blue lights and noir themes. And thanks to kindles, video games, and all the streaming services, I can enjoy both at any given moment from the comfort of my couch. Though I may…
