stupid memes

If you're reading this description, we're willing to bet that you can read well enough to indulge in this frivolous selection of tweets and Tumblr posts that made us crack a smile. Memes are so visually oriented these days. We're not mad at taking a wee break from having everything spelled out with a picture.

There she is: the average pleb. She leaves the office at 5 p.m. on the dot. As she makes her way down the beaten path, she imagines turning on an educational podcast while cooking a nutritious dinner. Maybe she'll even read a book before bed. 'Yes...' she thinks to herself, 'tonight is the night I do that self-care thing everyone's been talking about.' Halfway through her 45-minute commute on a particularly crowded train, fast food starts to feel pretty appealing. When she finally gets home, she plops down on the couch and tears open the Taco Bell wrappers. Avengers: Endgame is already queued up.

As the credits roll, she knows what she must do. It's time to sleep. 'It's bedtime' she tries to convince herself as her hand reaches for the phone. 'Just one meme' she tells herself. Soon one meme becomes fifty. She chuckles lightly, her gleeful face lit up by the glow of the screen. 'This is the life' she says. 

As we go through the week, our standards for entertainment tend to plummet. Instead of seeking out smart, compelling films and books, by the time Wednesday hits we're just looking for a distraction. Subtitles? No thanks. Wordy creative fiction or a fascinating trip through history? Can't do it. Instead, we're left to pretend to watch television as we wearily scroll through our phones, waiting for slumber to take over and take us into another day.  Rather than scroll through some of the day's inevitably bleak news, why not indulge in some stupid fun? We've put a bunch of that together in one convenient gallery.

We're back with another collection of the dankest and dumbest memesaround. No theme, thesis, rhyme or reason here—if you're looking for a dissertation on post-internet aesthetics, you're in the wrong place buddy. We're all about straight up memes around these parts. Scroll along if you're craving some mindlessly random content.

While Dads might be the most prolific purveyors of corny humor, you don't have to be a father figure to appreciate this massive batch of memes and jokes. From eyeroll-inducing puns to Impact font cringe, these memes are accessible to people of all ages. As a bonus, they'll make you appreciate clever memes and tweets more than ever before. 

We hope you're in the mood to see some dopey doggos, cuddly kitties, and other sweet critters, because we've got a mega batch of memes featuring hilarious animals. Whether you're down in the dumps or in a silly mood, these memes will surely brighten anyone's day. Who doesn't love a good animal meme? Well we've got ninety of them for you.  

We love little tidbits about family life because everyone's experiences are so different but also pretty relatable. We've got a bunch of fun tweets about the woes of parenting, weird texts from parents, and memes about silly dad quirks, like when they stand in the middle of the living room watching a movie and refuse to sit down because they haven't fully committed yet. What's up with that? If you enjoy these hilarious slices of family life, you should really check out @neatdad and @radmom on Instagram for more fam content. 

As millennials and zoomers abandon Facebook for younger and hipper apps such as Instagram and TikTok, the Zuckerberg site is quickly becoming a soapbox for baby boomers and the silent generation. They are out there sharing death announcements on gleeful, happy posts, or worse - posts that for some reason show off dirty nails or a picture of a well-manicured lawn. They are using the site's happy banner and avatar features to share bad news or frustration. And, as has pretty much always been the case, they are sharing many, many mysterious non sequiturs that they absolutely refuse to explain. 

While it may seem like we are cruelly mocking these well-meaning Facebook users, that could not be any farther from the truth. We actually find their eagerness to share their feelings with the world to be sweet and wholesome. We also find their dedication to staying current to be admirable. While it's generally more fun to spot a clueless boomer-post in the wild, there are some excellent internet destinations that take great care in collecting these amusing social media moments. 

The first of our favorite sources lives on Reddit, a place we have yet to see the elderly flexing their keyboard skills. The subreddit r/oldpeoplefacebook is exactly what it sounds like - an absolute mecca of disjointed posts from older folks who have yet to get the hang of the site. The community has been around since February 2013, and has amassed an impressive 1 million members in the eight years since its inception. This staggering membership really comes as no surprise - a lot of people have Facebook, and a lot of people know old people. While most of the submissions stay very true to the Facebook theme, there are a few amusing texts from elderly grandparents and nonsensical DMs thrown into the mix for good measure. 

The Facebook group "Please show to Jim ! ! HA ! ! HA ! !" is another wonderful place to take in the utter majesty of geriatrics on social media. While browsing the contributions of the group requires actually logging into the cursed site, we think it's well worth the sacrifice. This group is a little more varied in its offerings than r/oldpeoplefacebook. The group, which requires an invitation or a membership application, includes everything from amusing product reviews to actual letters (composed on a computer) and YouTube comments. While this group was created three years after their Reddit competitor, its members post a lot, which is convenient for very bored people who need to be on Facebook for work. We've put together some quality old-person-posts from both of the groups for your easy enjoyment, but we implore you to join and get in on the fun yourself. This kind of content doesn't last forever. Soon, the old people on the internet will have been using it for years. And things will probably be a lot less fun. 

It's Monday again and you know what that means—time to try and fill that empty void with hilarious memes before the dread sets in! Whenever life starts to feel like one continuous cycle of the same boring tasks, we turn to memes.

Memes don't have to be smart to be funny. In fact, sometimes, the dumber they are, the better. When we're looking to pass the time doing something fun, we're not looking for philosophical memes with tons of academic references. Heck no. We're looking for the easy laughs that come with easy scrolling. You know, stuff that makes you shake your head, but might be kind of relatable. If you feel the same, you're probably going to enjoy this girthy gallery. 

We honestly can't tell if these 'deep' memes are satirical or totally serious, and you know what? We don't care, because they're pretty funny. They're the sort of memes that you laugh at, not with. The kind of cringe that could've been posted by either your boomer grandpa who thinks technology represents the fall of civilization, or the emo, 14-year-old version of you. Scrolling through these memes is like watching a movie so bad, it's kinda good.

If you have an undying love for memes but you also need an escape from content about current events, politics, celebrities, and all the other trending topics that bombard the internet, animal memes are probably the most pure genre of memes that you can turn to. Memes featuring ridiculously cute animals are perfect in their dumb simplicity. If anyone can get offended by a dumb doggo or a silly snek, then maybe memes aren't for them. If you're looking for some classic stupid and unpretentious memes that don't reference anything, these funny animals will make your day. 

Time flies when you're mindlessly scrolling your way through the Internet. We can't believe it's already Tuesday. Feels like just yesterday we were enjoying our last installment of Tolkien Tuesday. You know, our weekly collection of stupid and stupidly funny Lord of the Rings shitposts. While it's true that there are quite a few nerdy references (hello, book-readers), there's still plenty of movie-centric and relatable memes for the rest of you to enjoy. Happy scrolling. 

Congratulations. You've made it through another shitty Monday on planet Earth. How's it feel? Personally, I'm pretty damn tired and feel like the life, and what was left of my joy, has been sucked out of me. Therapy can only do so much to help alleviate the symptoms of the grind. To really feel better we need humor. The easiest way to get it is by mainlining memes. We think these will do the trick.

For every great meme idea, there's a still from Spongebob SquarePants waiting to become its format. Just like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and many other beloved animated shows, Spongebob is the gift that keeps on giving in the meme world. We thought it would be fun to dedicate a whole gallery to our favorite sentient sea sponge. Scrolling through these memes will feel like a trip to Bikini Bottom.

We love dad jokes. We also love bad jokes. Why? Because sometimes they're just so bad that they're good. The eye-rolling they induce, the moans and groans. "So bad it's good" humor isn't just relegated to dads and other punsmiths. There's an entire subreddit, called r/comedyheaven, that solely exists as an archive of content that's "so bad, it's ascended." The community shares everything from text screenshots to movie reviews and news headlines. And they're all deliciously weird, cringey, and oddly hilarious.
