dank memes

2020 is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Between the election, coronavirus, and all the other fun stuff (constant pain) we're amazed we're even around to enjoy the madness. These memes and tweets really sum up the whole ordeal with accuracy and ease. Here's hoping we make it out alive.

Happy Monday, fools. Before you submit to the grind and get back to your responsibilities, we recommend scrolling through this hefty batch of memes. They may help your disposition. But really, at this point, either way you've got nothing to lose.

Sometimes all you need to brighten your day a little is some random memes. After all, they say that laughter is the best medicine. Well, that's probably not completely true, because medicine is the best medicine. So like, if you're really having a tough time, don't cover up the pain with memes. Don't say we didn't tell you so. 

As the weekend comes to a close, it's important to treat yourself kindly and relish what little time you have to yourself. Our favorite form of self-care is scrolling through memes. This is something you can do from a bath (if you're careful) or from the couch as you sink deeper into a vegetative state. Either works. Just have some fun.

Happy birthday to all the birthday betches out there! We just want to take this time to appreciate you and celebrate your lap around the sun with memes. Even if it's not your actual birthday, who cares! Now go out and party it up, but drink responsibly, dammit!

As we've get older it feels like the weekend becomes less and less exciting. Instead of being able to look forward to fun activities, it becomes more of a break from work so we can tackle our other responsibilities. And in 2020? It's even worse. Fortunately, memes often help us fill up this inevitably boring time. And we've got a lot of 'em right here for you.

Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads  "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.

Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.

There are definitely a few perks to getting older. Some people take you more seriously. You can eat whatever you want. Hopefully you can live on your own. But there are also some definite downsides. For example, the hangovers. Rampant misanthropy. Having to pay rent and bills. These observational memes and tweets sum it all up in style. Hang in there fellow, olds. We'll get through this together.

If you're looking to distract yourself from the responsibilities of the real world, you've come to the right place. We've spent years of our lives procrastinating, so we've got it down to a science. All you need to excel at this art is a finger and a whole lot of memes. We've got the latter covered right here. Have fun. 

Some people in this world only want the freshest and most niche memes. Others want the tried and true memes of yore. This gallery is a mix of the two. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters to us is having funny content to distract ourselves from the pain of reality. And these memes really do the trick.
