self deprecating

Sometimes one of those really bad days comes along and pulls you so deep into crippling misery that even just a hint of shallow positivity makes you feel even worse. When we're in this kind of rut, we turn to bleakly relatable memes about how much life sucks. Sure, maybe these negative memes don't make us feel any better, but they sure validate our attitude toward this dismal existence. If you're in the mood to lean into the despair with memes full of dark jokes, this is the collection for you. 

In the age of Postmates, Seamless, and Uber Eats, it's okay to be a sh*t chef. Realistically, we can't all have master cooking skills after all. This Twitter meme has people making fun of their own lack of kitchen chops, and we're here for it.

Let's not beat around the bush here; getting rejected sucks, big time. These brave Twitter users decided to meme themselves by posting a pic of their romantic rejection messages next to a selfie, captioning it "The Rejection...the Clown." 

Of course, the attempts weren't actually that clownish for the most part, but who doesn't love a little self-deprecating humor from time to time? We certainly get a kick out of it.

It's been a while since we covered an object labeling meme, and though this one isn't new, it's consistently popping up on our timelines - for good reason. It's a solid, simple, and versatile format, that has the ability to riff on real people and things that hold us up, or stuff that's a little more ridiculous, ironic, and self-deprecating. The fact that the whole meme is built on a corny illustration makes it all the more enjoyable. It's way more successful as a dank meme than its original purpose as a dramatic political statement. 

There's a time and place for lifting up your downtrodden spirits or browsing through wholesome memes, but now is not that time. Sometimes you just need to learn to laugh at yourself to keep a healthy level of humbleness. Besides, sometimes self-deprecating jokes are the funniest ones out there! Trust us on that one.

It's alright. We know that feel.
