More than anything else, my phone is filled with screenshots of funny pictures and jokes that I love sharing with friends — and revisiting whenever I need a laugh.
Anything I see online that hits the right combo of funny, odd and relatable becomes screenshot worthy.
It can be a random picture of a weird-looking animal or a photo of when someone accidentally left the bread in the oven for too long — the dumbest pictures juxtaposed with the most hilarious captions.
This kind of humor has found a huge space online, where screenshots stand on their own as punchlines.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of the funniest ones that don’t need no context — the randomness of the picture with the cleverness of the text is exactly what makes these kinds of memes so irresistible.

If you, just like us, are a meme connoisseur, then it’ll be pretty easy for you to picture the famous Doge memes — the Shiba Inu dog with the sideways look and Comic Sans text like “much wow” “very excite” that became one of the internet’s most iconic meme faces.
While these classics still make us laugh even today, screenshot memes have evolved so much more and become unpredictable over time.

"animals". No need to call me names, buddy. Also: I'm not sure frowning works any better and people still do it. 🤷

It already happened to me. First they told me they were non-binary, and I was like, cool fine. Then they told me they were a non-binary lesbian. A little confusing, but it's all good, love who you love. Then it was that they were a Therian (had to look that one up), and so they wanted to wear a tail everywhere they went. I'm still on board, you do you baby. Then they wanted to change their name and start being called after a color. Meh what's in a name? But now they are into "Clown-Core". They want to walk around dressed as a clown, all the time. But whatever, I'll take you to buy a new wardrobe. I get that they are exploring their identity, but man this is starting to get a bit wacky. Just so long as they don't come out as Republican, I think I'll be fine.
In an era of endless feed on your phone and low attention span, online jokes have adapted to match the mood of the new generations. They spread quickly and remix constantly.
The screenshots also mold ordinary images into odd, sometimes nonsensical, narratives — think Skibidi Toilet memes or the new Shrek edits.
The humor in these images does not follow any logic, and that’s what makes them relatable to the younger generations — they mirror the chaos of the world and the digital space.

Screenshot memes show what’s trending, what people find funny, or how we’re all feeling. They’re a super easy way to connect with others online.
They also take everyday life, even the most frustrating or awkward parts, and turn it into something funny or entertaining.
A study found that memes that make people laugh get shared the most, more than cute, gross, or angry ones.

Memes also get remade and remixed so much that they have the power to make us forget what the original picture or idea meant, we just retain the meme instead.
“Internet memes are one of the clearest manifestations of the fact there is such a thing as digital culture,” says Paolo Gerbaudo, director of the Centre for Digital Culture at Kings College London. “Memes are sort of a ready-made language with many kinds of stereotypes, symbols, situations. A palette that people can use, much like emojis, in a way, to convey a certain content.”

These screenshots capture chaos and randomness in ways simple jokes just can’t.
Whether it’s a cat judging your life decisions or a GPS leading you on a wild goose chase, memes remind us that the internet’s sense of humor is somehow relatable across cultures and countries.

According to recent data, 75% of people aged 13-36 share memes regularly, and the average millennial views 20-30 memes daily.
The global meme industry was $2.3 billion in 2020 but increased to $6.1 billion by 2025.
Studies show that Instagram remains a primary hub for meme culture, with users sharing over 1 million memes daily.

Screenshot humor doesn’t always need an explanation, sometimes the randomness itself is the joke.
“Simple formats that allow people to participate without too much work are usually much more enduring than complicated nuanced memes,” says Dr Jamie Cohen, who holds a PhD in Media and Cultural Studies with a focus on memes and digital culture.
How To Make Muffouts
I've seen people do this (or something similar) with cookie dough, making little cups to put ice cream in
I'm pretty sure that is what was attempted here. That looks like chocolate chip cookie dough, not muffin mix. On a side note, I tried this with Choc chip cookie dough and the picture looks exactly like my results. sad day
Load More Replies...I don't buy it. That's chocolate chip cookie dough. They were trying to make little cookie bowls with the upside down pan but the dough was too soft and spread everywhere.
Use a French accent to say muffouts and you will be a culinary star.
