There is truly a lot to appreciate in memes. The minimalist approach of just providing a singular piece of content and hitting hard in the relatables with it is a whole new level of beauty. It’s like writing those two-sentence horror stories, except instead of horror, you have comedy and instead of it being fiction, it seems all too real.
And EndsHumour provides a lot of these. Scroll on to find the ones you relate to the most—or think are purely spot-on.

For me, 3 am is the most productive time of the day. You go over mistakes, you think of ways you could've solved them, and then you understand the bitter truth that you can do nothing about it. Repeat.
EndsHumour is a variety meme Instagram page that focuses on all things entertainment, culture and… well, memes. The page is based in the UK and has since its inception in 2019 has gathered a following of 1.3 million people. In fact, it just recently surpassed 12,000 posts, which is a lot in five-ish years.
The more we see memes featured on here, the more we learn about them, their purpose, relevance, and variety, so, this time around, let's check some meme statistics.
A huge part of memes is the idea that they are a vessel of communication. Well, NYU found out that memes are actually 10 times more effective as marketing visuals that reach 60% higher rates of organic interactions. Talk about effective communication.
Scheduling all my errands for one day so all the free time I have during the week is mine and mine alone and I get to ignore and avoid other people.
Interesting. I have all the symptoms of testicular cancer, yet I do not believe that I actually have testiculars.
Forbes essentially seconds this because they claimed businesses that use memes in marketing are also 60% more likely to attract folks who will make a purchase. This, and also campaigns that revolve around memes end up achieving on average 14% higher click-through rates compared to more traditional marketing strategies. It’s all thanks to the viral appeal and expansive reach.
Other statistics show that 74% of people share memes because it’s funny, 53% use them as responses to messages, 35% use them as cryptic messages, and 28% use them when words are not enough to express themselves. Funny enough, meme-based conversations can go on for a long time—in fact, there’s an entire game based around it.
It’s probably no surprise that memes are something younger generations use more often than any other.
The Pew Research Center figured out that 75% of people aged between 13 and 36 tend to post memes with a bit over half (55%) of them sharing memes weekly and nearly a third (30%) doing so daily. The memes are strong with these ones.
Heck, memes are such a big deal that we can already see numbers in the millions surrounding them. Just consider this: there was an NFT made of “Disaster Girl” and it was sold for 180 Ether, which back then was roughly $495,000. While that is wild in and of itself, there’s more.
Instagram is one of the most meme-ful social media platforms out there. Back in 2018, daily meme shares on the platform reached 500,000, but it grew to 1 million in 2021.
Or scrolling on bored panda then just swiping away any notifications you get 😏
So true! You're actually miliseconds from stashing into your pocket before someone tells you that you owe them some money.
And it should be no wonder that there’s that many memes shared. Recent surveys determined that memes are an integral part of the youth’s daily lives. 64% reported that they are amused by memes and 61% appreciate seeing them if they’re related to their hobbies.
31% of folks online share memes on social media and various messaging apps, while 29% share on social media alone.
Considering this, it’s only natural for companies to have a slice of the action.
Companies like Nescafe used memes as part of their marketing strategies—it was also a bit of a jab at the iPhone’s then unorthodox camera layout design. And they aren’t the only ones. Mumbai Police and Tinder India both use memes on the regular. The first one uses it to spread awareness and educate on safety while the other debunks relationship myths and the like.
I wish I could imagine fake scenarios, all I get are intrusive thoughts 🤢
Memes have been around for a while and they have evolved pretty significantly. So, it’s unlikely that they’ll just disappear one day. But they do disappear individually. According to a study and analysis of Google Trends, a modern-day meme these days lasts for around 4 months. Back in 2008, however, the average lifespan of a meme was nearly 2 years. Alas, in time, they became seemingly more disposable.
Or scream at the top of your lungs “YOURE NOT MY MOM/DAD!!!!” no matter what your age or relation is
I’m scared to go to therapy cause I’m afraid to tell them something really deep and personal and for them to turn around and tell my parents “Your daughter needs a psych ward”
My therapist told me, on our first session, "whatever we discuss will not leave this room unless I think you're going to hurt yourself or someone else". That's the universal rule as far as I know. And if it makes you feel any better, involuntary hospitalisation of a family member is actually really hard and even if it does happen they can just leave whenever they want to.

I'm not scared to go to therapy but I don't open up easily and knowing that the person I'd be opening up to is getting paid to listen to my problems doesn't sit well with me.
And they have also had years of education and training to help you, whereas the family or friends you usually talk to do not. They are getting paid to do it BECAUSE of their education. And whatever you tell them, I can guarantee they've seen or heard worse. There's nothing new under the sun, after all.

For me, it’s a hit and miss. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Now depression medication doesn’t work for me but I have learned that there is a genetic test you can do to find out what works for you. www.genesight.com has a test that your insurance might cover to find out why some psych meds don’t work for you.
Load More Replies... Why go? You're fine just the way you are! It's that someone's convinced you otherwise. Resolve that and you'll be rockin'!
Nothing wrong with going. We all need a little support from time to time. Some people can get it from family friends or community, some of us don't have those supports and therapy is beneficial.
Load More Replies... We once had this counselor at our school (a very religious one). She assured everyone that she would never tell anyone what happens in the session else unless we or anyone else were in danger. A lot of people confided in her about various sensitive (in our surroundings) issues like problems regarding their gender identity and sexual orientation. At the end of the year she called each of their parents and ratted all of them out. Thankfully this year we've got a great person. But that year really rattled us.
I'm scared to go again because all it does is dredge the deep bad things and doesn't help me put them anywhere else, so now I'm not the calm pool of repressed pain but a rampaging Tempest of barely contained issues attempting constant escape and ruin.
I’m looking for a new therapist because the last time I called my therapist, I spent the entire time talking her down, instead of the other way around. I had called her because someone who used to be a good friend had murdered her service dog and I was severely depressed and was having trouble processing it.
In Spike Milligan's (Look him up) Memiors one of his friends, Harry Secombe (look him up), Goes to hospital and is "Transferred to a Psychiatric ward where he gave three doctors nervous breakdowns" ROLE MODEL MATERIAL!!
Jonathan Winters used to check in to mental facilities just to mess with the docs. At least that was one possible explanation.

Therapy is rough when you're scared of being judged, even if they say they aren't/won't, that terror was instilled from birth
So, what are your thoughts on any of this? Any memes you’d like to share with everyone else? Do so in the comment section below!
And if it’s memes you’re after, then look no further.
The blessed trifecta. You can also sprinkle some airplane mode on it.
“Oh well guess y’all aren’t going on the trip! More hotel room for me I guess!”
Well, my original comment didn't post (or doesn't show). Anyway, just, take a deep breath and change the subject when you can't reason with someone. That was the gist of it.
I’ve improved from crying for no apparent reason to crying because someone yelled at me. The improvement graph is rising steadily
I was born in 69. In those years, when we'd go on vacation, it was far enough that we'd stay at a hotel 1 or 2nights. Anyhoo, the beds in the rooms had a box on the wall, next to the bed. You'd put a quarter in and the bed would vibrate for 5 mins or more. We loved it...lol 🤣🤣
Tell me about it... Every single Trump supporter STILL believes him when he absolutely, positively, and factually LIES to their faces when he tells them literally anything, especially that 2020 was "stolen". 🙄🙄 *Down vote me without commenting, I dare you 😘.
Idk, seeing how dumb a lot of the bots on character.ai doesn’t give me a lot of hope

The internet didn’t change who we are or how we think; it simply provided a window for some people to let others in or a wider platform for others to spread hate. People are people. We’re always going to be complicated. We’re always going to be the best and worst of ourselves. I don’t want to see a world where nobody pushes back.
What used to be bumper stickers are now memes. We've also use/d t-shirts and buttons and jackets and posters and lawn signs etc. For that matter, the graffiti on walls of ancient Rome and cave paintings. We have always had "social media" just less technology.

I'm a little concerned/upset that this Instagram page doesn't seem to give credit to the "authors" of these texts/memes.
Good thing they included the name of the BP "author" at the bottom of the "article". It wouldn't be right if they didn't give credit to the person who ripped off this content from someone's Instagram page. Copying and pasting is hard work and deserves to be recognized.
Good thing boredpanda is posting sponsored content "Yeah, we just found this cute IG page, we'll post all their watermarked content with links back to their page... just cuz we're SUPER DUPER NICE PEOPLE." Cmon guys, do better.
