There are times when certain pop culture moments can mirror real life. At one point, you may have seen yourself dealing with the same levels of overwhelming stress as the kitchen crew of Carmen Berzatto in The Bear. Life, after all, can sometimes imitate art.
In the same way, you may also relate to many of the memes on this list. We lifted these from the TV Moments Instagram page, a growing online community that has no shortage of television references that you can easily parallel with daily life.
Keep scrolling through, and you may just see your favorite show and characters on here. As always, don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

It’s safe to say that the internet has influenced the way we view television. Streaming, for one, has made an entire series bingeable within a few hours, a far cry from the age when “Must See TV” meant waiting for a specific time each week to watch your favorite show.
Those in the television industry have become aware of this shift to the extent that many are tailoring their shows to accommodate the current viewing trends.
“TV producers and makers are becoming very aware that they have so much competition,” critic and podcaster Scott Bryan told GQ, adding that many of them include “landmark moments” and big scenes that become memeable and get viral attention.
Some networks may even use memes as a publicity and marketing tool for their shows. As GIPHY brand marketing VP Meg Lewis tells GQ in the same interview, reality shows like Real Housewives and Jersey Shore were the first ones to create these viral moments that eventually turned into memes.
Lewis also noted how many dramatic shows have followed suit, naming HBO’s black comedy-drama Succession as an example.
“Without even trying, these shows are continually in the conversation of their audience,” Lewis said.

The White Lotus, another HBO hit show, has produced a ton of “memeable” moments. And as The Guardian’s Jared Richards points out, these still images, which can go viral in an instant, are the conversation pieces about these shows, much like how water cooler conversations were in the pre-digital age.

Am I seeing this right that Kanye is responding to Jada? Because that would've been worth a slap...
Concurring with Bryan’s previous statements, Richards believes writers are “aiming for virality.” And for the most part, they may be doing it out of necessity.
“With streaming services across the board regularly cancelling shows with dedicated but stagnant audiences, scripted television needs to prove its staying power,” he wrote.

Do those people who claim that the moon landing was fake have any idea what the state of graphic technology was like in 1969?

Yeah but what if you're actually married and you've got kids and you still actually fancy your wife? I mean, really? "M**F"? "MIAFALBWLI"? No, I'm not going to explain all those letters, but it does describe my wife and her husband. 🤣

I had a mini existential crisis when I found out that one of the security guards at my work is 21. I was his age when he was born.

This reminds me of the old "still better love story than Twilight" memes for some reason

From what I recall he met her when she was 17 but didn't start dating her until she was 18. Not that that is any better, but just pointing it out. He also gets reallllllllllll made when people bring this up. He's basically killed Bobcat Goldthwait's career because Bobcat joked about it. Had him blacklisted at most comedy clubs.
