It shouldn't be controversial for me to say that we've been in an era of absurdist humor for some time now. I don't know where this taste for silly & goofy comedy originated, but Gen Z and Millennials can't get enough of it. I can tell that absurdist humor has swept the nation because of the Netflix show I Think You Should Leave . It is a sketch comedy show starring and created by former SNL writer Tim Robbinson, and it is just as wacky as you could imagine. Ask any Millennial or Gen Zer who th…

A crazy app

This is not your average meme list. One might say this meme list is a bit random . The posts included in the list are not related to each other in any way. They are simply brought together and placed in an order with no rhyme or reason to it. Isn't that a bit silly? Quite whimsical, if you ask me. Listicles of random memes are, as Lady Gaga so eloquently put it, "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done bef…

Humans are unique creatures. We have upright posture, we lack the thick body hair of most of the mammalian kingdom, and we wear clothing over our (relatively) hairless bodies. While most animals reproduce until they die, we stop about midway through (usually) and enjoy an empty nest if we're lucky. Humans are able to make fire and chit-chat incessantly. While other creatures definitely communicate, they're not talking their friends' ears off until they have violent thoughts. We think. While the…

Did you guys see the flaming bagpipe Darth Vader unicycle man cross the Willamette today?

Tumblr's been name-checked pretty frequently lately, for a few different reasons. Allegedly, nudity and pornography are making a return to the site. Tumblr made the controversial move to ban porn back in 2018, due to the app's removal from the iOs app store. The decision caused quite a bit of controversy , so users have been excited for the return of boobies and erotic fan art. As Twitter users join the mass exodus from the bird app, many people have been touting Tumblr as the next-best thing -…

I myself am strange and unusual

To be clear, it isn't that thing.

Who says that crime can't be funny? There are so many boring arrests made every day that journalists can't help but take notice when an amusing one comes about. There's some guy who, at present, is looking through arrest records to find the hard-hitting story of an extremely wacky guy. And boy howdy, do they find them. Not all news stories with wacky headlines have to do with arrests. There are so many strange daily incidents that are funny, inspiring, or just plain stupid that have nothing to…

God bless the internet

Oh boy

Going underground

Let's get weird!

It seems like AI has totally blown up over the past six months. I remember when I first started working at Memebase, DALL-E AI-generated images were all the rage on Twitter. Personally, I thought those images were extremely cool because they could really accurately encompass the prompt. As time has gone on, AI art has become even more ubiquitous online, and it's gotten better and better. The hands for most pieces are still blurry, and they're nowhere near as sophisticated as some types of deep…

Not all memes are for everyone. Some memes are specifically designed for a beautiful woman that's going through something right now. These memes are not made to encapsulate the whole of all human experiences. That would be too easy. These memes are for women on the verge. On the verge of what? Just on the verge. If you get it, you get it. So much online content is made by men about women, and therefore, women are only shown themselves as men see us. That's no good, because the way that men see…
