Howdy, meme wranglers. We're getting closer to the summermonths, and here in the United States, the weather is starting to make us feel a bit...different. Pretty soon the pavement will be looking wavy from the heat, and commuting to the office will feel more like an energy-depleting slow roast than an invigorating, blood-pumping journey. These vibes always make us feel a little like a lone cowboy swinging open the doors of a dusty saloon as tumbleweeds bounce behind him. 

Though our realities (office drones safe in air-conditioned spaces) really don't align with that of Wild West cowhands, we can get into the vibe with the wealth of dank memes made in their honor. We've put together this gallery made up mostly of weirder ones, but you can scroll through a whole lot more over at Know Your Meme.

It's hard to believe, but twenty years ago today, Shrek was released in theaters. If you were born before 1995, you're probably feeling pretty damn old right now. It's okay, you're not alone—us millennials gotta stick together in times like these. Shrek on the other hand, is totally timeless. Both a relic of millennial irony and fodder for dank zoomer memes—Shrek is eternal. Shrek is love. Shrek is life. Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming, but at least we've got these dank Shrek memes. 

It's hard to be kind of old in the age of TikTok. It can be hard to navigate the app (please help us) and whenever we open it we feel increasingly out of touch. The music. The references. Oh god, the dances. But there are still some net positives where the app is considered, and over the past week this has been evident thanks to the 'Trade Offer' memes that have been popping up all over Reddit and Instagram.

The TikTok meme that led to these less irritating image macros was started by @natebellamy4 who posted a video proposal to "God" involving trading hated humans for beloved and sadly deceased public figures. The meme took off, inspiring @bradeazy to share a slightly less wholesome (and less egalitarian) version involving trading "sloppy toppy" for...nothing. @bradeazy's version of the meme has since been utilized as very versatile meme format, for everything from happy "trades" involving caring for one's pets or spicier historical memes about conquistadors and sketchy CIA dealings in Latin America. They've definitely been spicing up our timeline, so we figured we'd share our favorites with you. Care to accept the offer?

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.

Take a look at some of these hilariously bad (but not wrong) plot summaries, and if you want more funny movie-related content, try this!

Does Smash Mouth even need an introduction? We think not. Accordingly, please take a little stroll through these amusing memes that we thoroughly enjoyed. They're the perfect humor for people who aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Now get Shrek'd.

Hooray, it's everybody's favorite green ogre! Many of these memes don't make a ton of sense, but we think you'll find them amusing anyway. Now let's get on with the Shrek memes!

What's not to love about a brand new Shrek meme? This particular meme combines our favorite green ogre with some self-deprecating humor, and we're all about it. Check out more at Know Your Meme!

Twitter's always been a hotbed of memes, and that has only become more real since users have been cooped up at home. The latest big Twitter meme is unsurprisingly tied to the completely unavoidable genre of K-Pop. Users are pairing images of celebrities with the legs and thigh-high boots of Thai rapper Lalisa Manoban, a member of the group Blackpink. The first iteration came from @Adventurin2Fear, who lined the images of the boots up with a classic seductive photo of actor Jeff Goldblum. Later memes featured everyone from Timothée Chalamet to Shrek. And judging by the tweets, pretty much everyone would look great with Lalisa's legs. Try it for yourself. 

Tired of procrastinating by looking at memes or social media? This collection of historical images ranges from mildly interesting to, frankly, completely terrifying. And they might even help you next time you go to pub trivia with your buddies. 

If Thursday's the new Friday, what's the working day that comes after? 'Cause we sure ain't feeling any of that Friday relief. In fact, we feel even more like procrastinating than ever before. If you feel the same way, then we've got you covered with this extra large batch of memes, tweets, and shitposts to curb your restlessness and keep your brain busy.
