People Are Already Getting Disappointed In The Year 2021, And Here’s 50 Of The Funniest Jokes They Made
Just because we get a new calendar and the date changes on our phones, it doesn’t magically give us a pine-fresh brand new start and solve all of society’s problems. However, even knowing this and after the humbling year that was 2020, some people had hoped that 2021 would be better. While the year isn’t necessarily doomed yet, some already feel that it is because the first week of the new year has been terrifying, surreal, and exhausting.
The entire world was glued to their screens watching the events happening in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, January 6. Riled up by President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that the election had been ‘unfair’ and ‘stolen,’ his supporters, who had been protesting nearby, violently stormed the US Capitol building. A lot of these rioters, whom some are calling ‘domestic terrorists’ and ‘traitors,’ firmly believe in the QAnon and voter fraud conspiracy theories.
Like after other scary and difficult moments, many people reacted to the situation the only way they knew how—with dark humor and memes. Many of them focused on how 2021 is just a continuation of the previous year. Bored Panda has collected some of the most popular comedic responses to the year so far, so have a look at the internet’s reaction below and let us know what you think of the events in the US, dear Readers.

After a really shitty start to this year (losing 2 family members to covid on New years day to top it off! ) I'd gladly cancel my subscription to 2021 too so, I'm in!

Load More Replies...The storming of the Capitol left at least 5 people dead. The police shot a woman, 35-year-old US Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, dead. Three people died from medical emergencies. And it was confirmed on Thursday night that police officer Brian Sicknick died in hospital after he was injured. Fourteen officers in total had been injured. So far, at least 68 people have been arrested while the FBI is aiming to identify everyone who took part in the events. Meanwhile, there are growing demands for Trump to resign. Many believe he’s to blame for the events because of his claims about voter fraud and other unfounded theories.
To get to understand people's belief in conspiracy theories better and what leads to their spread, Bored Panda reached out to Joseph M. Pierre, a professor of psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. It might sometimes seem like more people are vulnerable to conspiracy theories than at any other point in history, and there’s evidence both in support and against this. The internet may have a lot to blame for the rise and proliferation of a lot of conspiracies like the QAnon theory, but the other half of the equation is the lack of trust in authorities.
I knew I had seen him before, I just could not pin-point who that was. Thank you.

Don't even care. The cheeto is out and this is his base's last hurrah. 1/20 will be like turning on a light and watching the roaches scatter back into the woodwork.
Its worth worrying about. There was chatter about Capitol Attack. And there's chatter about these insane people planning a Militia March on the 17th in DC. I live near DC, so I'm worried. Was thinking of attending Inauguration if could be socially distant, wear mask. But no way I will now.
Load More Replies..."Plan B : tell every religious leader in the world they are right and everyone else is wrong. Do the same thing with heads of states. Then, wait and see."
Regarding what humans do to the planet I think that’s absolutely reasonable.
i remember people saying how they cant wait for 2020 to be over and 2021 to come and i was always just like, you really think everything will go away in 1 night, haha, your cute
"After all, the Year That Must Not Be Named did great things - terrible things, but great."
According to Professor Pierre, researchers like conspiracy theory expert Joe Uscinski would say that there’s little evidence that would suggest that more people believe in conspiracies now than back in the past. Meanwhile, Pierre’s own ‘mistrust and misinformation’ model shows that there is some evidence to support “an ebb and flow in belief in misinformation including conspiracy theories over time that tracks with new informational technologies” like the internet, TV, radio, and newspapers. Similarly, the professor said that there are ebbs and flows in (mis)trust of institutions of authority for a variety of reasons.
Pierre’s model of conspiracy theory belief is a two-component model that consists of “mistrust in authoritative sources of information leading to vulnerability to misinformation and disinformation.” So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re trying to change a conspiracy theorist’s mind, the professor suggests talking to them about trusted sources of information. “Until you can find some common ground there, meaningful debate will probably be elusive,” he said.
Ok, but first you need to know the rules: 1: Don't tease the Reptilians. They break down into tears when you start saying they're running [government]. 2: If a humanoid plant tells you that you look delicious, they mean it literally. 3: Bug People do not like flyspray, and will retaliate by spraying superheated chemicals into your facial orifices. 4: Don't date the Spider People. It may seem fun at first, but you'll wake up to see yourself with your head chewed off. 5: Don't. Hug. The. Space. Jellyfish. 6: If you're offensive, there will be a range of reactions from "running away crying" to "gathering lightning and frying your intestines with it". 7: Don't mention the British Rail Intergalactic Starship. 8: No sidling. 9: If you find yourself in the event that you are under threat of being enslaved, follow the AHC code. Alert others. Hide in a secure location. Cry. 10: Don't try to eat the big eggs. The big eggs belong to all the bird aliens. They won't like it if you eat their kids.

“I think we can put some blame on the internet for the popularity of conspiracy theories today,” Pierre said. “Without YouTube, conspiracy theories might very well be less popular. But the other part of the blame pie can be attributed to a decline in trust, whether in government or in scientists, over the past half-century. We’re also living in a time unprecedented in our lifetimes in which American politicians have endorsed and exploited conspiracy theories as propaganda to this degree.”
here on mars.... we don't have years... FREE TICKETS TO COME TO MARS WITH ME -------> 🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫🎫 (its a joke)
Someone forgot to tell the trump supporters this...who forgot to add the trumpers to the chat

@invinoveritas not all americans are bad.... Why do we all have to be punished for the actions of a minority? I agree with this post, some americans are setting a horrible image for our country. But what about the Biden supporters? what about the BLM and LGBTQ+ activists?
Load More Replies...Me right now watching the adults of our country fight over beliefs. I am thirteen and could figure out a better way. Disappointed in the adults.
Oof I'm also thirteen, pretty much my exact thoughts, like, y'all are f*****g adults, act like it
Load More Replies...Can't we all just be normal , good people ? Some of y'all need therapy, Jesus, weed ... whatever would make you act like a decent human
Maybe we should (should have done already this time) move inaugurations to January 2nd instead of 20th. That way, we avoid the spillover of all the old bad crap into the clean new year.
Dont be too harsh on yourselfes. You embarrassed yourselfes everyday for 4 years straight. Now you made 5 days without. Try 6 days next. Take baby steps

Load More Replies...2020 would've let us live and set the world on fire but nobody would die from the fires we'd all just burn.
but 2021 kill us? can we vote it out and skip that year
Load More Replies...This is the truest one of them all. The whole Capitol storm was just a blip on the radar compared to these issues.
Even though it was a small-ish event, I wouldn't consider it a blip on the radar, because it shows that many people, who pride themselves on living in a democratic country, do not understand how a democracy works, and are unable to hold true the laws written in a document that they uphold so much. Not only just those people who don't understand democracy, and are almost brainwashed by their leader/idol, their leader is practically just a man-child having a hissy fit that he didn't win the election, and encourages his followers to commit such actions as storming the capitol building. Long story short, this just shows that in a democracy, a surprising amount of people don't know how a democracy works, and suddenly don't agree with it when they don't win.
Load More Replies...actually, climate was getting better because a lot of us were/are staying home. maybe we can still fix it?
Interesting times we live in. Too many people on the planet leads to climate change/ destruction of our planet, meanwhile pandemic comes along to sort out population problem. Humans fix pandemic with border controls and vaccines. So where is the long term planning to sort out climate change and sickness of our planet?
Thise looming issues are why we need to prepare for the worst - and start building Knowledge Arks.
Scariest one of all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too likely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How stupid do you have to be to not only smile for the security cameras when committing a crime, but take selfies of yourself doing it?
Not stupid, no--they are responding to the mountains of privilege they are afforded as white so-called "patriots." They have never even begun to know the fear other races must consider. That they even got that far into the White House is absurd.
Load More Replies...I always wondered how stupid you had to be to be a Trump supporter...any ideas?
Lol y’all are the same. Both Democrats and Republicans, this is why I don’t vote. Democrats destroy cities and cause billions in damage. Now Republicans also destroy buildings and riot..... bunch of uneducated babies. The both of you!!
Load More Replies...Thank you Bored Panda for always making me smile. These comments too. As a midwestern American I fear for my country. We're not all blooming idiots I promise.
I promise you most of us don't see you that way either.

I just started playing Fallout 4 and I literally thought to myself this game literally is a mood of 2021.
I know, right?!! :) This pic is from Fallout 3 though, not as good as 4, but even more applicable as it's set in Washington DC - and in it the Capitol is overrun with mutants, psycho raiders and feral ghouls... kind of like this past week.
Load More Replies...We figure that since it was so easy to storm the Capitol, we may as well storm Area 51.
Load More Replies...Storming Area-51 is easy, just need to convince trumptards that's where they hid stolen ballots.

I was hoping for Finland to take over my country, too. I'm here in California.
Load More Replies...That dude is crazy. They all are. Idk why people can't be peaceful. Idk why the leader of a country would ask for violence in the country. Idk why he wants the cake and wants to eat it at the same time like do you want peace or a riot? Saying he's the best president my ass. And idk why he posted a video that sounded like a parent forcing a toddler to apologize and that wasn't even a real one!
Dude could have stopped it all. Nope! instead said, hey! Ima turn the country against each other and get my own main office destroyed! While I do nothing but chirp on twitter! Twitter and facebook did good banning him.

That was the whitest protest I've ever seen ( defiantly served to prove its real agenda) but with a jackass who I will say is actually appropriating Native culture in order to mock it .
One upvote= Saying that you hate Trump and wish that he'd just get abucted by aliens. (The aliens would probably give him back.)
No no, the day before Biden’s insuguration the aliens come, we feed him to the aliens, and he tastes so much like a lying phsycopsth That they spit him out and never come back
Load More Replies...Trumpet has successfully shows the true face of USA,a great country of the third world. A country riddled with racism and a very level of education, rampant poverty and being number one world wide of the number of Covid 19.

Oh yes a few vaccines are now available. However how long will it take to get to you?( or old me?)
What is this type of meme called? You know the nicholas cage memes? The "Hold up" memes? I need to know what this type of meme is called.
Thankfully studies are showing the Pfizer vaccine is working on the mutated strains. As long as it uses protein strands (all coronaviruses do, hence the name) the vaccines will work. And who knows, maybe it will work against other coronaviruses like the common cold!
It actually is looking up for the rest of us... especially if you live in a 3rd world country, we were sheep and wore masks. we also had elections be decided by the popular vote and not whatever you people have
You did well! The UN will be sending your peacekeeping soldiers in to oversee the next American election.

Ah well it’s a ( tiny) step up from last year when world war three was trending on the third day
You're embarrassing yourself, you know you're on the 'being laughed at' side of things right now, right? Republicans are looked down upon after the bullshit pulled, followed by strong ridicule, because you're so f*****g clueless on how not to follow a buffoon that literally hates his supporters & thinks they're disgusting. You've got zero room to talk down to the opposite side after the fools you guys made of yourselves.
Load More Replies...yeah, how is it almost March again? did it really go that quickly? It felt soooooo sloooowwww...
America is not in a civil war. That would look a lot worse than what's happening right now.

2021 wasn't going to be any different, yes it's a different year but that hasn't changed anything that was happening last year. Hopefully though, things will get better
I mean what do people expect? It's just another day nothing is going to change... sure you might change a number and it feels good. But honestly I'd rather go back to 2020 because the way our planet is going no one will be here much longer.

Load More Replies...Most of us would do anything to save someone else’s life regardless of politics or race, like when there’s a disaster and most of us donate or volunteer. We have to go back to that mentality if we want to survive this as the great nation we are. We really have to leave the “but” behind and start healing from within and not expect politicians to do it for us. They don’t want healing because it will take the power away from them. They need division to win.
Literally nothing has changed since last year because pandemics and the global political situation are not bound by the concept of the calendar year
Why don't people stop fighting amongst each other and wake up! Unless we work together to repair this world there won't be anything to wrangle over. 2021 will see CO2 emissions, for the first time, 50%higher than they were pre industrial revolution (Met Office statistics). Read it and weep people, me included. Wake up, grow up and smell the roses. Before they are all dead. 😓
