Everyone likes a good meme in this day and age. From relatable to hilarious, we all enjoy sharing and seeing legitimately funny posts online, particularly if we can immediately save and send them to our loved ones.
The “Funny Posts” Instagram page is very precisely named since it does exactly that, sharing funny posts and memes. So get comfortable, prepare to chuckle a bit as you scroll through and upvote your favorite ones. Be sure to share your own thoughts and ideas in the comments section below.

If I bring you the breakfast into the bed, just "thanks" is good enough. I don't like to hear things like "Who are you?" and "Whatcha doin' in my house???"
The “Funny Posts” Instagram page boasts an impressive 3.2 million followers and is just one of probably hundreds of meme pages out there. There are no two ways about it, people love and absolutely crave new memes every day. A side effect of this endless drive to create more memes is the expansion of what a meme even is.
As the online magazine Built In noted, memes are now commodities, surrealism art, inside jokes, and political statements. Sometimes, a meme will fall into multiple categories at once, depending on who is looking at it. If you have ever explored more niche meme pages, you will understand what I am talking about.
It’s not uncommon for meme pages to have followings significantly larger than many world leaders. Memes are also quite universal, as these same world leaders might even be following and viewing them just like us. Multiple meme page admins have admitted that they really took off after various celebrities started following their pages and reposting their content.
While a common “fun fact” is that Richard Dawkins coined the term “meme” in his 1976 book, “The Selfish Gene”, the more modern use of the word comes from Mike Godwin, in an article he wrote for Wired. He defined it as “an idea that functions in a mind the same way a gene or virus functions in the body. And an infectious idea (call it a "viral meme") may leap from mind to mind, much as viruses leap from body to body.”
"Theft by finding" is a thing. Hand it in. EDIT: I am not a "child of God" btw. Morals are not the exclusive preserve of the religious.
This reminds me of that one meme like: “Mom why was i named daisy?” “Because when you were born, and left the hospital, a Daisy fell on your forehead” “mom why was i named rosie?” “Because when you born, a rose petal fell on your forehead” “M-Mom?” “Yes, Brick?”
When we look at it like this, there is solid evidence that there were no doubt memes in the past, but the communications technology of our ancestors was, unfortunately, simply not quick enough. Add in the fact that in a pre-digital world, most people couldn’t “create” content, due to the combination of the costs, illiteracy, and lack of time, that it makes more sense that the internet was ultimately crucial for the explosion of memes.
We can see a sort of internal evolution in internet memes as certain tools became more widespread. What started as text over various images evolved into meme songs, videos, and really anything else a common person could get their hands on. With smartphones comes the ability for every person to shoot, direct, and upload their own clips, so the same is just as true for memes.
What really bugs me is when the TV show Mash started, it was only 20 years after the Korean war and that seemed like such a long time between the two. It's now been half a century plus since Mash started and I remember it like yesterday.
At this point, one can simply Google any relatively well-known meme with the word “template” and find a site that will allow you to turn your idea into reality in mere moments. As a result, memes are being produced at a scale never seen before, creating a sort of digital folklore for future anthropologists to sift through.
Exactly. It goes from talking about anime to my self hate and suicidal thoughts
God I hate people that never get to the point in the first place and type several messages before they arrive there
With the tools in the hands of the people, so to speak, netizens have really unleashed their inner creatives. As a result, more modern memes often engage with surrealist themes and contain various bits of image distortion for effect. At the same time, certain memes are so widely known that they can be simply alluded to through clever cropping and positioning.
At some point, people started to realize that in-jokes and referential humor can work in memes quite effectively. As a result, nearly every fan group, fandom, and really anything that remotely brings people together most likely has a meme page dedicated to it. More than likely, there are several, as schisms, disagreements, and a varying sense of taste take over.

I wonder if the pizza was delivered? Because that would be the *chef's kiss* perfect part of the text that most wouldn't get.
As with everything popular and good, marketing memes smell blood and are all eager to cash in on attention and trends. You have probably already noticed companies using corporate accounts to seem more approachable, like fast food chain Wendy’s Twitter account “roasting” its rivals, to the Duoling Owl being all over folks' TikTok feeds.
"What do you look for in a woman?" "Two legs, but I'm willing to compromise on that". From the Vicar of Dibley.
Sounds like fun to me. And mainly this is hiding the below comments.
While it can at times be fun, these companies actually have talented marketing teams. The future of memes-as-marketing will probably look more like your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving, who truly believes he could make it as a comedian. So for the time being, it’s best to appreciate hilarious memes for what they are.
Necessary context, character backstory and vocabulary or history lesson
That's Rich Evans from Red Letter Media, a very funny movie-centric YouTube channel. They've had a whole saga about that photo.
And this photo was from quite a few years ago. Her baby is probably a preteen by now...now I need to go Google it
Point it out to your professor and watch him squirm as he tries to explain it away
But sometimes shutting down is safer because the words in the argument can never be taken back. And they cut deep and permanently into my soul. That was my experience with my parents. The s**t they've said to me over the decades? I wouldn't even say that to someone I didn't like. Anyways. That's my two cents'.
At the 7-11 I worked at, we only had room for half a shelf of bread, delivered on Friday. Every weekend in summer we'd get bought out in an hour because people wanted to feed the bread to the ducks in the park across the street. So we got 50 pound bags of cracked corn, separated it into a couple cups each in small paper bags and sold the bags for like $2 a bag. The ducks ate healthy food, we didn't run out of bread, and the store made money. So what did corporate do when they found out? Told us we couldn't do this any longer. So the ducks ate bread again and we had to listen to people complain because we were out of bread all week. Talk about your birdbrained corporations. Southland Corp, that's you.
Or that we dropped the kid down the dumb-waiter to try to unjam it and now they're both stuck.
Nah, baby, you're capable of putting the pieces back together yourself. It doesn't take a partner.
My girl friend in college thought being tall was unfeminine. (She started dated me because I was 6'4" and made her look shorter.) She claimed to be 5'8 but would admit to 5'10. Looking at a picture of her standing next to me when she was in flat heels, you can see that she was easily six feet tall. Apparently she got over that eventually. She ended up marrying a shrimp of a guy who she towers over.
Nah I'd rather someone to cuddle me cause I can be sad/mad while laughing. It doesn't help.
i need someone to call me their love and hold me and i think im touch starved
Oof this would worry me if my child said this to me. Come get some hugs
After enduring an abusive ex, I'm glad my best friends found someone much better!
Unless i'm interpreting this incorrectly, that's an incredibly rude to say to someone, especially your s/o...
I am the main character in my life story. Although the dressing room I've been assigned fails to reflect that.
I dont like when random words are bolded because I always try to read them like a secret message and it is almost never a secret message
this isnt how it works, yall. as someone in a polyamorous relationship, COMMUNICATION IS KEY IN ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP.
Aah, public ridicule. Because punches leave visible marks. Banter is fine, but this can be weaponised!
I think we can make a tally of which pandas are in happy relationships/happy singles and which aren’t from the comments in this list. >.>
Seems like 90 % of these were about (mostly romantic) relationships and/or kids... I was hoping for much more diversity of these so-called memes. Fail article.
The first few are very good, but halfway through it becomes a relatioship advice article - might wanna separate them into another article BP?
A lot of these just seem like toxic relationship traits. "haha girlfriend jealous and emotional roller coaster", "haha boyfriend dumb and emotionally unavailable" sounds like a nightmare from both ends.
Well, that was painful... The ones about "love" aren't even memes, they are just really terrible, phony, clingy messages that should never be made public... -___-
Eric, if you don't like it that's okay. Just move on. There's no reason to leave a rude comment. If your purpose in leaving this comment was to let BP know that this article wasn't very good, you can do so in a respectful way. You could comment something like, "BP, this article wasn't the best, IMO. I found the OP posts to be ____ because they ____ . Maybe next time you could choose OP posts that are ____ instead?" Something like that provides useful constructive feedback, rather than just being insulting.
