Being sarcastic gets a bad rep. They say sarcasm is for those who are incapable of honest and heartfelt communication. I say: “Do not slander my sarcastic king Chandler Bing like that!” (The rhyme is accidental, apologies.) Yes, it is a coping mechanism for those of us who often feel awkward during emotional moments. That’s where its element of relatability comes from.

The Instagram account I’m Being Sarcastic posts daily comedy snippets from TikTok, X (formerly known as Twitter) and other meme-tastic internet places. For some insights into what properties sarcasm brings to comedy and what we deem funny, Bored Panda reached out to Steven Kapica, assistant professor of English at Keuka College, and assistant professor Peter Kunze at Tulane University. Check out their thoughts below! And if you’re looking for a good laugh, scroll through our selected posts and let us know: could this list BE any better?

    When our dog was a little puppy, she would follow me everytime I had to get up at night. She waited patiently in front of the door, followed me back into the bedroom and after she was back in her bed and comfy again, she sighed deeply and released. Humans are exhausting!

    And also last thing at night!?- I literally told my friend before she became my housemate, that I needed at least 15 mins of quiet alone time each evening to wind down and she said "no problem"..........then moved in and proceeded to talk THE ENTIRE TIME while I was "winding down", then got offended when I kept reminding her it was my "quiet time".........when she moved out her chief comment was "it's probably best I move out. Now, before we ruin the friendship- because you've been a b*tch to me lately!

    The one (1) time I have been in Forever 21, it was because I saw a shirt in the window that I knew my then-partner would love. Couldn't find it, asked an employee despite the fact that I hate asking employees. Three different people got involved, final consensus was no, they didn't have it. I found it by accident on my way out the door.
