50 Funny Memes That You Might Find Painfully Relatable

They say everything is best in moderation, but when it comes to memes, we believe that “the more the merrier” rule applies! And thanks to communities like Laughing At My Own Memes, we’ll never have a shortage of hilarious pics to enjoy. This group, which was created on June 23, 2021, has amassed an impressive 1.1 million members over the past two and a half years.

To learn more about the Laughing At My Own Memes community, we reached out to the group’s creator, Cristina Geo, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “The group started with wanting a larger community of people sharing memes, jokes and funny comments,” Cristina explained. “Just a jolly place where you can have a break from real life, have a laugh, and exchange some words with other people on funny, relatable posts.”

Cristina shared that she and the rest of the Admin team were already administrators in other groups, which is how they got to know each other. “We all wanted a larger community, and that's just not what the other groups wanted. That's how LAMOM came to be!”

Cristina also shared that the friendships formed in fun Facebook groups like this can extend beyond computer screens. “A couple of days after the group was created, I asked Raiden Pineapple and Lena Go if they'd like to join me,” the creator continued. “They're fun people, and their way of thinking aligned with mine. We've been online friends for over 7 years, and I've even met Lena and Maxi in real life since we lived in the same country (Romania).”  

Cristina explained that Lena and Maximilian met in one of the previous groups they managed together years ago and are now married. “Happy first anniversary to them, while we're here!” she added.

Lena also shared some insight on the background of the group. "I joined in the first few days of the group, and I was super happy when [Cristina] asked if I wanted to be an Admin,” she told Bored Panda. “I loved the freedom of having a public group without micromanaging the members. The rules we created once the group grew fast were to increase the amazing experience that members had, and the fact that the group is still on and growing attests to that." 

And the group certainly did grow quickly. “We hit our first million members in 10 months!” Cristina shared. “Why? Because of diversity, I think. We posted and accepted things that more people could relate to, rather than a specific type of meme. Also, I'd like to think we're pleasant people,” she added with a laugh. “And made our members feel like they belonged.”

Cristina also shared more about what the group’s members are like. “We have our regular posters and commenters. It's hard to make friends in such a large group as an Admin or even notice someone in particular, unless they've been with us from the beginning when all you could do was notice that one person who kept posting,” she explained.

“Otherwise it takes a few posts until I, personally, notice someone being active, or if they've posted or commented something with a greater impact, really funny or really smart! From there on, they just stand out to me.”
