Lord of the Rings

Memes are way more than just a cheap distraction. Memes can uplift the spirit. Memes are like a busted fire-hydrant you find after walking five miles on the hottest day of the summer. Memes are like that leftover sandwich you just remembered after whining about having no food in the fridge. Memes are like your favorite song randomly coming on when you're shopping for toilet paper at the supermarket. Life would be a bummer without memes.

We're so glad you're here. Seriously. We have all these memes to share and they'd just go to waste if we didn't have anyone to laugh at them with. Meme consumption is a fine solitary activity, don't get me wrong, but being able to spread memes far and wide gives us true joy. We're like the Santa Claus of memes. We're practically Jesus. Ok, calm down, it was a joke. Here, have some memes.

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.

Take a look at some of these hilariously bad (but not wrong) plot summaries, and if you want more funny movie-related content, try this!
