Nowadays, memes are more than just funny images that go viral. They’ve become tools for expression, whether it’s a political sentiment, masked sadness, or, in this case, sarcastic humor.
That’s why Instagram pages like 50 Nerds of Grey exist. While an early version on a different social media platform focused on poking fun at the famous romance novel, this one is all about memes with a tinge of sarcasm.
Don’t worry; the snarkiness isn’t off-putting at all. If anything, this list may bring you the laughs you didn’t know you needed today.

Sarcastic quips don’t always land right. It requires a bit of mental gymnastics to come off as acceptable and not be too offensive. Because of this, it forces a person to be creative with their statements.
A 2015 study proved this when the participants–a group of college students–listened to complaints to a company’s customer service line. Upon hearing sarcastic comments, the students quickly came up with creative solutions.
According to the study’s authors, the brain must develop something creative to understand and convey sarcasm. As a result, it allows you to think clearly.
“To either create or understand sarcasm, the tone must overcome the contradiction between the literal and actual meanings of the sarcastic expressions,” the authors concluded.

Most people also have a commute that's 30-60 minutes, if not longer, so that needs to be added onto work. Work: 10 hours.
For many people, sarcasm is also a coping mechanism for life’s challenges. It masks underlying sadness and makes it seem humorous. You will likely see many examples on this list.
A 2021 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research showed that people used sarcastic humor to ward off symptoms of depression and anxiety during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The world’s state of affairs may be saddening and frustrating for some. Therefore, many of them rely on sarcastic humor to frame these absurdities in a more lighthearted way. And for the most part, it benefits them.
According to psychologist Dr. Mark Travers, snarky commentary on societal norms may be perceived as “insightful” and “attractive” to people who appreciate thought-provoking conversations.

Stress, self loathing, existential dread, hoping we might get lucky and it takes us out. Same reason some people smoke. Not brave enough to end it right now. And depression can lead to some super aggressive exhaustion. Ever nod off walking?

A good friend of mine drank them like water - nonstop, all day. He ended up blowing out his intestine - they had to remove 15" and piece him back together like the Scarecrow in Oz. He's now (thankfully) fully repaired and (hopefully) reformed!!

Seriously though. There's so much lately like SNL as 1 exp and I'm like oh that'd be funny if it was more like 30-50% from the truth but bc we're at a 1-3% range. I just shake my head in utter fear and disgrace.

I inherited an elevated heartrate from my mom...hers is about 135 bpm...mine is about 95 bpm. I don't drink energy drinks.

Canada has caffeine restrictions?? I used to get one of those energy drink sodas for my afternoon slump, but I would just sip it until I felt enough of a boost. I never finished the whole thing (I don't like coffee).

Caffeine restrictions in Canada? Not to my knowledge. The only restriction I am aware of that an energy shot containing 200mg or more of caffeine can only be sold to a person who is at least 18 years old as it may damage a growing body. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/d***s-health-products/natural-non-prescription/caffeinated-energy-shots.html

Am I weird for never having any reaction to drinking multiple energy drinks in one go (some times with coffee as well)? That includes having more energy, too - but admittedly, I have M.E. and fibromyalgia. I can't stand them now, but in my youth, Red Bull and strong coffee got me through many hours (or days) of gaming. The most I ever got in the way of side-effects was a mild headache. I guess I must be weird!

I had to re-think what everyone meant. An "energy drink" to me is like, Liquid IV containing lots and lots of electrolytes. I understand now it means something like Red Bull or some extreme caffeine laced beverage. I never drink those. My morning coffee, the occasional tea or chocolate intake, is enough for me. But I could not survive in AZ without the other kind.

I have never understood the Red Bull and Coca-Cola thing. Too expensive! We were getting percolators and Dad, 12 hours later, still drinking the re-perked coffee he made at 5am. THAT was an energy drink.

Shares meals with riff raff (prostitutes, tax collectors. Suggests “turning the other cheek” in disputes. Helps poor and sick people whether they are deserving or not. Is full of clever and interesting stories (parables). Is uninterested in the trappings of wealth and does not suck up to the rich and powerful. I could go on…

Jane Austin: I met a gentleman of meager value, with an estate providing no more than the income necessary to sustain a moderate living. Though perhaps he could earn an adequate fortune by some other means, he lacked the charisma to charm me or my sisters. Hemmingway: I met a man. It was raining and cold enough that I saw the steam of his final breath. Nobody mourned his passing. We are the same in that way, he and I. Brian Greene: If we imagine an average person, composed of atoms, which are in turn composed of sub-atomic particles. We ask ourselves, as we dig deeper into the fabric of the cosmos, what is the basis for the verbosity of the standard model. Is String Theory an answer, or another dead-end? Me: I had way too much fun writing these

I asked a flight attendant "how is your cat" and she was like "ummm... how did you know I have a cat?". I said, "the scratches on your arms, you either have a cat, or recently got into a fist fight with a weed-wacker, and I guessed that probably wasn't it".

It says on the package, "This is a cosmetic product, not edible". And it is called "Plant Based Soap with Strawberry Yogurt Fragrance". I can see why an English speaker would be confused. Herbissimo is a Brazilian cosmetics brand, and they make a lot of shampoos and soaps which are plant based. I don't know why they partnered with Mentos, or why I'd want to smell like yogurt.

Sadly, too true. This is what happens when a group or political party decides to dumb down the entire population so people won't question the lies they are told. And next, we end up with a mentally ill felon in the White House.
