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.
Tell a dr. Better living thru chemistry. I've been doing it for the last 18 years.

Yes, but sometimes it helps to say (or write) how one is feeling. Depression gets people in different ways.
Load More Replies... The very definition of depression and the perfect answer to people who tell you exercise is the answer. If I was mentally well enough to go and exercise then I wouldn't actually need to..
Really, if only people could get proper medication at least as a kickoff so they can start doing exercise.

I am so proud of myself for having cleaned the bathroom. For the first time in 2 months. Now I just have to do the other 30+ things on my mental ToDo list. Yep, life's a struggle sometimes.
Well done for cleaning the bathroom. I have to tidy my living room, as my 'Busy becos of Christmas' excuse is no longer valid, and I'm rehoming a cat soon.

For me, that's ADHD and/or depression. Fun stuff. Know that sometimes, resting and doing nothing can be taking care of yourself! Give yourself a little time. Ideally, get support (when you have a moments' willpower), talk to a pro or take some meds. You're worth that rest and recovery. The "doing things" will wait.
I honestly just went thru this had quite a few people pass away this year.It got to the point that I didn't want to answer the phone. Didn't clean just fed the cats and cleaned litter boxes. Didn't do laundry. Woke up today and just had enough. You will know when your done and don't beat yourself up. Sometimes life just crushes us. But your reaching out and that is a start.
It's called depression. Take it from one who kno. Sending you strangth.
Some of us don't get enough time to be functional adults, my father has dementia and requires full time aid that me and my mother can't provide while having any other life outside of that. It's a constant struggle and systems in place through insurance make it impossible as they never approve unless the person is on their death bed. So i feel this.
Where's the punch line? I didn't need to be reminded of my own depression.
ditto, sometimes i find myself more focused on cleaning in house flipper than i do in my actual house
I thought I was the only person that knew it but just had massive trouble being able to lift myself out of the funds. I always thought other people just didn't or couldn't see it in themselves but then once they did...bam! then can change it around again, because they are better than me, more socially accepted than me because they havent acted blasé about fitness and health all of their lives, Now I realize others have been that way too and it's kinda humbling, because I didn't want it to come across as the fact that I think I'm THAT important as to think I have a monopoly on feeling legitimate feels, because that's not the point of posting this here at all, but rather, because I just talked myself out of being worthy, out of being in others thoughts, out of being cared about, out of mattering. But it made me feel good to realize I didnt have to accept where I am now. I can plan it, do it and then enjoy the changes that I drove, I instigated, I have control over. So, thank you OP. 👍
Yes. I fight with myself about quite a lot. I tell myself we all have ups and downs. It will pass. It does.
it's good to recognise the signs, that way you can try to deploy what positive mental health tools you have to try and lesson the impact (it's something I try to use myself when I see the warning signs, easier said than done I hear...yes yes it is I'm not suggesting it it is easy)... knowledge is power and practice makes perfect (ish)
And when this happens, I call my daughter and she asks me what good things happened today, and if I forgot meds 🤪
A book that helped me get past this was "Discipline Equals Freedom" by Jocko Willink. That book and some talk therapy helped me climb out of my hole. (I know, a book won't help a real mental illness like clinical depression. But if you're trying to avoid meds, it's worth a look.)
You have to pay close attention when you finish a task, and savour that feeling of accomplishment. Admire Your Work. Helps me.
Yup. That's when I make a priority list and a goal to scratch one thing off per day. It's a great coping skill and gets me through every depressive cycle, no matter if it's a couple of days, weeks, or months.
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.

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'.

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.
