work memes

Since the momentous beginning of memes over 20 years ago, they've dramatically grown in popularity. Sure, they've changed a lot - but so has humor. Their popularity has led to some pretty dull humor - lowest common denominator comedy. You know, memes about how much work sucks or how difficult it is to date in this hell world. It's not surprising that those jokes get circulated like a chain email in the 90's. Beyond the boring relatability, however, there are some weirder memes to be enjoyed. Memes that heavily feature trash animals like possums and raccoons. Memes that lament existence. And then there are memesthat really don't make any sense. This assortment kind of checks off all of those bases.  

TGIF, friends and meme-lovers. We're back with another super-sized batch of memes, curated specifically for your convenient consumption. Offering up dumb memes. Clever tweets. Lots of depressingly relatable content, and, of course, memes for people who seriously hate their jobs. Coming from people who collect memes for a living, it doesn't matter if you're looking at funny crap all day. Jobs just suck. So if you're at work, enjoy this break. And if you're not? Hell, you'll enjoy it even more. 

Clowns have been having quite the moment over the past few years. "Jokerfied" has become a verb. Thousands of women have been Harley Quinn for Halloween. It had a new opportunity to become a household name. Despite all these prominent media moments, we (as a society) are overlooking the biggest clowns of all: ourselves. 

That's right. Somehow, the human race has managed to make jesters of themselves on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's convincing yourself that you matter to your corporate overlords, or if you've convinced yourself that you can change your toxic partner, we're constantly subconsciously donning giant shoes and making a mockery of ourselves by playing dumb. But we're not alone. Pretty much every living, breathing human with an ounce of empathy, heart, or soul has themselves up for clownish disappointment. And boy, are there a ton of memes out there that reflect just that. 

We all have to go to work to pay the bills in order to just survive - unless you're a trust-fund baby who inherited millions from your rich uncle (in which case get out of here). Just kidding, you can stay if you want to see how the rest of us plebes live.

Another day, another dollar. Sometimes it really does feel like we're all working our whole lives away. Whether you're working from home, in an office, at a bar, driving drunk people around, in a grocery store—it's essentially all the same sh*t if you think about it. Just a dull, thankless hell making more wealth for the big boss as the bills and debt pile up. Well you know what, there's one thing they can't take from us: memes. Scroll on the clock or text 'em to your coworkers. Hell, maybe even take it to the next level and make some work memes of your own in those moments where you've just had enough. 

In the words of Dolly Parton, "9 to 5! For service and devotion, you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion. Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me. I swear sometimes that man is out to get me."

Welcome back to hell, y'all! It's a brand new week full of pain and we've got the work memes to fuel your hatred for all five days of misery. Just don't send them to your boss. Then you have no idea what will happen, because hell hath no fury like a boss who figures out you haven't done any work since you started working at the company a year ago. So make sure to keep on your procrastinating and not slack off, you never know when a review of your "work" could be around the corner. So get someone else to do it for you, like maybe an intern, or the janitor. Anyone, as long as it isn't you. But enjoy trying to find kindred spirits with these relatable work memes all about the work week.

We've all been there. Sitting at your agonizing 9-5 or service gig, languishing. Feeling overworked, demotivated - or even worse: completely and utterly disrespected. In these scenarios, it's often much easier to fantasize about leaving than it is to take action. As jobs are hard to come by, this is perfectly understandable. But if you need a little inspiration on how to exit your prison of employment, you can look to these brave souls who quit in enviable style. 

Slaving away 9-5 may be an unfortunate reality, but we've got to pay the bills somehow. These memes and pics sum up the way we feel about the drudgery - and we can enjoy them at work, to boot. Just don't let your irritating boss see. 

Scott Seiss is the young comedian behind the 'Angry IKEA Guy'—a hilarious TikTok sensation that carried over to Twitter and went viral. Seiss' comedic customer roasts are equally hilarious and relatable, especially for anyone who's had a taste of retail hell. But the accessibility of Seiss' humor isn't just limited to the average retail employee—apparently, even the rich and famous can appreciate jokes by and for the modest worker. Big-name comedians such as Patton Oswald and Jim Gaffigan retweeted Seiss' videos, and even director Peyton Reed chimed in with approval. Who knows, maybe someday the Angry IKEA Guy will be working in a writers room for Marvel. Until then, we'll gladly watch anything Scott Seiss puts out into the world.

Decades ago, futurists predicted that by the 21st century, technology would make a shorter work-week possible. They imagined an efficient world in which workers had more leisure time and less stress.
