Everyone is involved in a viral experiment these days. The goal is to find out whether laughter is the best medicine for the coronapocalypse, or whether a meme a day can keep the quarantine blues away. And people do what it says.

But there are no rules when it comes to modern internet humor, except that it has to make you cringe, lol, or die laughing. In fact, the crying laughing emoji has reportedly been the most used one on social media in the past few months. A coincidence? Doubt it.

From absurdist millennial puns-intended to apocalyptic parody memes, Bored Panda has collected the best weekly corona jokes. And for those who just jumped onto the bandwagon, check out our previous compilations: part 1part 2part 3part 4part 5part 6, and part 7.

I don’t even know how they can get away with such greed. Corporate bailouts don’t save you from eviction, illness, or starvation. They can scream for the best parts of capitalism, and flock for shelter under socialism whenever it benefits them.

As we’re well into the crisis now, the jokes and memes are getting more twisted. Dark coronavirus humor is often funnier and somehow resonates better with people.

Interestingly, a taste for black humor could be an indicator of greater intelligence levels, according to this study published in Cognitive Processing. The psychologist Ulrike Willinger led an experiment which showed that participants who appreciated darker jokes expressed less aggression than those with a conventional sense of humor. Plus, the former group was found to have higher levels in verbal and nonverbal intelligence.

So true. Even though where I live we have had zero cases for the past 2 days, I will still be waiting at LEAST 2-4 weeks before I send my kids back to school.

Meanwhile, comedian Ken Cheng believes that joking about any risqué topic within comedy elicits the same answer. “Which is, that it depends,” Ken wrote in an opinion piece for Metro. But he doesn’t see anything wrong with talking about the current crisis in a humorous way. “Of course there will be some camps who think no serious topic should be made fun of, that even mentioning coronavirus in a humorous context is making light of a tragic situation,” but he added, “I don’t subscribe to this.” If humor is used skillfully, it can bring shelter to whatever the situation would be while still understanding its severity.

Except that these two are trying to make reasonable points. I don't see that happening in real life.

My cats are pretty happy that I am home. They have been insisting on playtime nearly all-day. Playing fetch with two cats can get pretty funny at times...

My cat was confused for the first few days... then decided it was the best thing ever. Long lap-naps while working on the computer. Play time multiple times per day! Kitchen underfoot time... and now that spring break is over zoom students are asking after my new TA.

I have one dog and three cats. And they’re all still tickled to death I’m working from home. Unless it’s because it’s just laid back Mommy and not hyperactive Daddy, whose job is essential so he isn’t working from home...

A cat asking to get back to work? Nah. I can't even explain what work is to any of mine.

Our cat likes having someone to open doors to the room he's not in, so he can meow to come out again.

Nope, they got it backward. The dogs always want to go out. The cats want to curl up in a warm place at home until it's time to eat again.

I'm now convinced my two cats are really dogs. If I go to the mailbox they are meowing at the door. When I come back, 1 minute later, they nuzzle me like they were sure they'd never see me again.

this is how it always is... mega-rich celebrities asking us to donate to a worthy cause when a few of them could fund a cure or house the homeless etc.

Shown the disparity in socioeconomic status. Shown how callous some people are when they and the people they know aren’t affected. Sorry wait, how many affordable apartments have balconies?

I gave my grandmother a look as she was drinking. She told me she heard that it’s good for her. I replied, “it’s wine and only a glass every now and then.” To which she replied, “i’m old and I’ll drink whatever I want.” She was hitting the whiskey and scotch. The woman is approaching 90 and was pregnant 13 times, I’m not going to argue with her. Drink away.
