television

If you're a fan of cooking competition shows, there's no shortage of 'em to choose from. The hectic vibe of Guy's Grocery Games. The professionalism and drama of Top Chef. The sob stories of Chopped. But where craziness is concerned, there's really nothing like the absolute chaos of Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. There's sabotage, steep falls from grace, and (of course) some very good looking food. If you haven't indulged in the program, these memes will give you a taste of what the show is all about. And if you have? Well, you'll laugh along with the rest of us. 

Marvel fans finally had something to celebrate yesterday when Marvel Entertainment released the first trailer for the Disney+ WandaVision miniseries yesterday. The series doesn't have an official release date, but the colorful, zany, and surreal teaser gives us much to be excited about. The show takes place after Avengers: Endgame, and Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany return to their roles as Scarlet Witch and Vision. Vision, according to the trailer, is still dead at the hands of Thanos - which suggests that much of show must take place in some kind of fantasy world. Perhaps it's all in Wanda's brain. If that's the case, we don't blame her. The way 2020 is going, living in an imaginary reality sounds pretty great. 

The trailer has mostly been met with positive reception, especially concerning the show's star-studded cast - which includes Kathryn Hahn, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. Between the talent, the gorgeous imagery, and rumors of a cameo from Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, we couldn't be more excited. Let's just hope the release is soon. We need all the quality television we can get.

We're not sci-fi purists here. We believe it's possible to be fans of both the Star Trek and Star Wars universes as controversial as that may sound. But today we're unapologetic in our decision to dedicate this gallery to the under-represented Star Trek memes that the internet (especially Tumblr) has to offer. So sit back, enjoy the shitposts, and live long and prosper.

While Buffy the Vampire Slayer bid network television farewell in 2003, the show's fans are still extremely active on the internet. From Tumblr to Reddit, people continue to create amusing content that revolves around the supernatural show. While many of the posts and memes sport Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy, many shout out some more minor characters and plot points. We've put together some recent vampire slayer gems, but you can find more over at r/BuffyMemes. Happy hunting! 

Writer Dana Schwartz found herself the target of a lot of angry South Park fans yesterday after tweeting about the long-running Comedy Central cartoon. Schwartz, who writes for She-Hulk, took to the site to express her feeling that South Park is responsible for many of our cultural ills. 

"In retrospect, it seems impossible to overstate the cultural damage done by SOUTH PARK, the show that portrayed earnestness as the only sin and taught that mockery is the ultimate inoculation against all criticism. Smugness is not the same as intelligence; provocation isn't the same as bravery. The lesser of two evils aren't the same."

Her hot take angered many fans of the controversial show, who quickly began a trolling and roasting campaign in the tweet's replies. While some of the replies went the immature route, others were more thoughtful defenses of the television show and its effect on society. Pretty much all of the tweets were entertaining (especially Schwartz's official response). We've put some of our favorite zingers in this gallery, but you can scroll through more of the drama here.

We post a lot of Star Wars shitposts and dank memes, but this post is dedicated to our main man Obi-Wan Kenobi. This badass MF is in enough Star Wars movies and shows for us to say he's a serious MVP where sassy memes are concerned. Here are some of his finest moments of trolling gold.

It's no secret that we love Star Wars and even less of a secret that we love Star Wars prequel mpemes. The lates prequel format actually comes from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. The scene features two seemingly "expendable" clone troopers explaining to Jedi Plo Koon why they're not being rescued after being stranded in a debris field. In a sweet turn, the Jedi tells the distressed troopers that they're not expendable to him. The meme has, however, been used for far less wholesome purposes. Here are some of our favorite examples.

Instagram user @bringbackdialup discovered one way to make the Democratic debate last night a bit more bearable. In a multi-photo upload to the image sharing site, he shared that "If you put your phone really close to the top of your tv and tilt it down all these candidates look really big brained." The resulting images of presidential hopefuls such as Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang are absolutely ridiculous, but a welcome laugh for people suffering from election and general political fatigue. 

NBC's beloved Parks and Recreation has been off the air for nearly five years, but some things last forever. Ron Swanson and his wisdom are pretty much immortal in our book. Instead of whining about the state of television and the demise of our favorite show, we take solace in these quotes from the burly man's man that is Ron Swanson. Nobody's been able to make being a misanthropic breakfast-lover look so damn good.

While some people were celebrating the 4th of July with fireworks, barbecues, and cold beer, other people were binge watching the freshly released third season of Stranger Things. Nothing screams 'Murica quite like shutting yourself in with some air conditioning and television. We're okay with that.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans enjoyed the show's much-awaited sixth season on NBC this year, and are anxiously awaiting the seventh. While we wait for the sass-filled and laugh-filled sitcom to return to our television sets, we have to settle for these funny memes and moments from the show. Settling has never felt so damn good.

It was no mystery to anyone that HBO's Chernobyl wasn't going to have a happy ending. The highly rated mini-series about the nuclear disaster, while insanely popular, is making a whole lot of people feel all kinds of bad. To cope with the utter bleakness of the television drama, many viewers are turning to Chernobyl memes that put a lighter spin on the depressing program. The strategy seems to be working, and the memes keep on coming. Here are some of the fresher Chernobyl memes that the internet has to offer. 

We've already covered the Twitter reactions and the coffee cup debacle - now we can really have some fun. We can generally count on some seriously dank memes following any episode of Game of Thrones, and this week did not disappoint. It feels like when fans are unhappy with an episode (we're looking at you, Jaime Lannister character arc) the memes are even better than usual. Scroll down to see for yourself.
