Memes That Might Feel a Little Too Real

When I die, rather than have some pithy quote as my epitaph, I’d like chiseled upon my gravestone the meme that I found most relatable in my lifetime. It could easily become a trend among those of us who have lived our lives mostly or entirely in the era when memes are practically the most common form of self expression. Keep your Shakespeare quotes and your “loving husband” designations and what not, I’ll take a classic Salt Bae or Dat Boi to express what my life was all about.

Of course, with so many highly relatable memes out there, it would be a difficult prospect to choose just one to truly represent me. Here are a few possibilities.

11. TV troubles

The children of today don’t know the burdens of our past.

10. PJ armor

You don’t expect to GAIN weight during a crisis, but, here we are.

9. Tastemakers

Whew, I’m safe.

8. Don’t @ me

Actually do @ me, please, I crave validation at all hours.

7. Night and day

Can’t sleep in if you don’t sleep.

6. Struttin’

Still gonna expect that assignment submitted by the stroke of midnight, though.

5. Consider carefully

I guess technically I’m a con man?

4. Microbro

This has a real heady feel to it.

3. Pave the way

Like getting a speed boost when you’re not racing.

2. Sky high

Santa has never looked so lost.

1. Eyes on the prize

At least I’m reading.

I just can’t decide what meme best expresses me. I’d better do some more research; there’s lots more to sift through on this great big internet of ours!

If you have to pick one meme to express who you are as a person, what would it be?

Memes That Are So Stupid They Might Be Genius

Even though I’ve worked in comedy on and off for a long time, there are still certain comedy-related concepts that I just can’t quite find words for. One of them is that feeling of something that’s so stupid you laugh at it, and then get kind of angry at yourself for enjoying it, because you know, deep down, that you should be more sophisticated than that, but you aren’t.

So far as I know, no such English word exists – yet. Guess we’ll just have to come up with one ourselves. In the meantime, here are 10 examples of the kind of thing I’m talking about.

10. No bones about it

The ancients worshiped the spooky boi of wisdom.

9. Crash diet

“Hey wine is a vegetable, right?” – people in the 70’s.

8. On a roll

I looked at this meme and suddenly three couches appeared in my yard.

7. Thicc burger

Nothing wrong here, move along everybody.

6. They grow up so fast

Seriously was looking at a real baby considered a sin?

5. Road.exe has crashed

Why do these options even exist, my computer literally never cares.

4. Toaster coaster

It’s a rootin’, tootin, shiny scootin’.

3. A sign of the times

OK but in 2020 this is actually super necessary.

2. Good fountains

“It was as if a thousand dads cried out at once, and then suddenly, silence.”

1. Saucy times

She pleas for the cheese.

Welp, all of that was extremely stupid and enjoyable. I still don’t have a good word for it though. Shamegiggles? Dumbchuckling?

Do you have any ideas for what this kind of humor should be called?

Share ’em in the comments.

A Mama Cat Brings Her Sick Kitten to a Human Hospital for Help

Like any concerned mother would, a cat brought her sick kitten to the emergency room. Although the hospital she chose in Instanbul was for people only, the medical staff immediately mobilized.

Twitter user Merve Özcan posted the remarkable pictures and video where it went viral. The images included a team of emergency responders rendering aid as mom looked on.

Of course, no one wants to see a little kitten so sick. But, we’re floored the mom knew there would be someone at the hospital to help them. News outlets in Istanbul reported that staff at the hospital were only too glad to check out the little one for health problems. The concerned mother stayed as close as possible.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Hospital staff made sure she was comfortable with a little bowl of milk and a bit of food. Turks are famous for their love for cats and many people leave bowls of fresh water out for them in the warmer months and food in winter.

It’s no wonder this one knew she would get the help her baby needed if she took him to where people get well. After the doctors and nurses made sure the kitten wasn’t in immediate danger, they transported both animals to a veterinarian clinic for a proper check.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The story gripped the people of Instanbul and throughout Turkey. The fact that the mother knew she could put her precious little jelly bean in human hands is a testament to how well the country treats its strays.

While it was never made clear what was actually wrong, both mother and kitten are reported to be well and healthy. Sometimes, a mother just knows when something is wrong and will do whatever it takes to get assistance. And, maybe all was needed was a safe, clean place to get a nice meal and a little looking after.

Get your rest, mama. You did the right thing.
