You Might End Up In A Better Mood After Checking Out These 30 Memes (New Pics)

With close to 12 million followers on Instagram, the Meme.Ig account is clearly one of the internet users’ most beloved sources of memes. As a matter of fact, according to their bio, they are the #1 meme community on earth.

Started back in 2013, the account boasts close to 8500 posts, most of which are funny or wholesome memes. In our previous edition on Meme.Ig, the CEO of the company that manages the account, Elias Bishop, noted that in a world where most of the news is negative, light-hearted, and unserious content, such as memes, it feels like a breath of fresh air.

Nowadays, memes can indeed feel like a breath of fresh air. That’s likely why many people share them with their loved ones or their followers online. According to Statista’s data (from 2019), memes that someone else has created is the second most likely type of content to be shared on social media by Gen Z and Millennial internet users in the US. More than a third of Gen Z and Millennial representatives say that they are very likely to share such memes, while nearly as many say they are somewhat likely to do so.

As for memes people have created themselves, according to Statista, close to three-in-ten people say they’re very likely to share them and a quarter say they are somewhat likely to. It’s safe to assume that the rest of the Gen Z and Millennial internet users are too shy to share their creations, but I bet they still get a good giggle when looking at them at home.

During last year’s interview with Bored Panda, Elias Bishop also touched upon how the Meme.Ig page was started, sharing that it was founded in 2013 by Brent Rose, who was only 16 at the time. (Though back then, the account was originally titled "timed.perfection" and focused heavily on “satisfying and slow-motion videos.”)

However, seven years later, in 2020, the account encountered difficulties after facing copyright violations from various third-party licensing companies. “It was at this time that the meme mogul Jerry Media invested into our company, assisting us on the legal side in exchange for equity in our company,” Bishop told Bored Panda last year.

If you’re thinking that the name Jerry Media rings a bell, but you can’t put your finger on why or where from, chances are, you’ve even seen the name here. The content and advertising company is also responsible for such well-known internet phenomena as the ‘F*ckJerry’ Instagram account, boasting nearly 17 million followers, as well as Dude With Sign and Dudette With Sign, the silent protests of whom we’re big fans of here at Bored Panda.
