50 Memes That Might Make You Laugh So Hard You Forget What You Were Sad About
Interview With Expert
Every once in a while, we all need a mental reset that doesn’t involve downloading another wellness app or committing to a 3-hour nap we’ll regret later. That’s exactly why we’ve pulled together this collection of hilarious, painfully relatable memes from a wildly popular Instagram page.
Think of it as your digital escape hatch. Whether you’re fake-typing in a Zoom call, avoiding the dishes, or just craving a little serotonin, these memes get it. They hit all the right nerves in the funniest ways possible. So go ahead, scroll, snort, send them to your group chat. Because in the middle of all this chaos, you’re definitely not alone.

Memes make us laugh, and sometimes, we laugh harder than we expect to. But here’s the thing: not everyone sees memes the same way. Sure, we all enjoy the humor, but our lens differs. Some people scroll by, others pause to think, and a few save them for future use. It’s fascinating how one image can mean ten things to ten people. And yet, we’re all in on the joke.
For instance, you and I might laugh at a meme about Monday blues. But an artist might see the storytelling, structure, and even composition. Memes aren’t just random pictures, they’re clever, compact expressions. They hit fast and leave a mark. That got us thinking… do meme creators and comic artists speak a similar visual language? We decided to find out.

To understand this better, we spoke to Srivastao Rao, a comic strip writer who got his start in the 1990s. He contributed to local newspapers across India and still has stacks of his old work at home.
Known for his clean humor and everyday storytelling, he’s seen how humor has evolved. “I love seeing how people express emotions now,” he told us. “It’s faster, bolder, and full of flavor.”

I hope it was a curse word. In high school I taught my girlfriend's grandmother's African Grey to say a bad word. She never found out who did it.
“Writing a comic strip requires you to think in frames,” Srivastao shared. “You have just a few panels to set a scene, create tension, and land a punchline. It’s tight and tricky, but fun. The hardest part is being relevant in so little space. You’re working within limits, but trying to say something universal.”
“And while memes are often created casually,” he continued, “I find a striking similarity between the two. Memes also use setup and punchline, just with fewer frames. In fact, many are only one frame. But the humor, the timing, the cleverness? It’s all there.” He smiled.
“Both are visual shortcuts to a bigger feeling,” he explained. “They rely on what people already know. You don’t have time to explain the whole thing. Whether it’s a comic or a meme, you work with what the audience brings with them. That’s why timing and culture matter so much.”
“Back in the day, we didn’t have the instant reach that memes get now,” he said. “If a comic landed well, it was because someone cut it out and stuck it on the fridge. Today, a meme can go viral in hours. You don’t need a publisher, you just need a phone. It’s amazing and a little overwhelming, honestly.”

Not actually far-fetched. My daughter once referred to turning the night light off as "wanting the dark one." The girl scares me.
More people today have access to the internet than ever before, and the numbers are pretty mind-blowing. As of February 2025, around 5.56 billion people across the globe were internet users. Of those, 5.24 billion were active on social media, which is nearly 64% of everyone on Earth. This kind of reach is exactly why memes spread like wildfire.

Yeah but I'm old and it would suck trying to get out of it to pee.
“Of course comics are still popular,” Srivastao added. “And it’s interesting to see all these new forms pop up: webcomics, meme series, even motion strips. The line between comics and memes is blurrier than ever. It’s not about the medium anymore. It’s about the emotion and the punchline.”

I was stunned to find out you guys don't know what a "rise" is, American for a small hill. "You go up this road to the next rise..." and people were looking at me blankly.

I received an all-user e-mail at work stating that the existing parking garage will be extended. The construction will start the following Monday and all employees were asked not to part at the east side of the garage. You can imagine how that worked... They had to start construction on Thuesday 🤣

When I worked for a telephone company I was taking an order for new service. As she lived in a remote part of the county and was giving directions to her house she said "as you go through town turn left at the police car". I said I'd need a stationary landmark and she responded "I've been moving in for two days that car is still in the same place ". Good enough!

I was DEEPLY grateful when a close male friend admitted that for HIM, too - whatever direction the hood ornament is facing is NORTH ... (I thought it was a girl thing)

ugh same with "go half a mile and then turn left" LIKE BRUH I can't guesstimate distance like that and constantly resetting then checking my odometer is too distracting from the road. Give me landmarks ffs.

My Scandinavian car has a heading indication in the rear mirror. When I went to Norway, this was quite helpful, especially up North. "Turn right at the sheep-shaped rock, follow the road until you see the snapped tree, there is a path..." etc for several lines is just too much information to remember.

I remember screwing with friends by giving them directions that included moving objects. Turn right after the pasture with a brown horse or turn left after the Holsteins, NOT the Scottish Highlands. I did give one person accurate directions that he eventually let on that he had.

No. We need turn left. Turn right. Not compass points.

“I enjoy memes,” he laughed. “I’m also guilty of sharing them. As an artist, it’s fun to see the younger generation do in seconds what we took hours to plan. And it’s not just about the laughs; it’s commentary, style, and culture. That’s what makes it art in its own right.”

No, that won,t work for me, I'll be busy being happy I'm not at the dentist. Ya got any appointments the second tuesday of next week?
So while memes may look simple, they carry a whole world inside them. They're fast, funny, and deeply layered when you look closer. From comic strips in black-and-white print to memes on your midnight scroll: funny is still funny. Only now, it spreads a lot faster.

This is why I only have fake plants. They make them so real looking these days that people can't tell the difference. Unfortunately it made my friends think I have a green thumb so they keep bringing me live plants now. :( I usually give them to my mom so I don't end up killing them.
