50 Funny And Relatable Video Game Memes, As Shared On This Instagram Page
Interview
We love all forms of storytelling, whether that’s reading books, watching immersive movies, or playing video games. They’re different ways of experiencing adventures and ideas. And with the video game market set to grow to $282.3 billion in revenue in 2024, it’s proof that the latter way of telling stories is continuing to grow in popularity. Gaming culture is huge now!
The ‘Gaming Memes’ Instagram page does exactly what it says on the tin and shares funny and relatable memes about gaming. We’ve collected some of the top ones to share with you, Pandas. Scroll down to check them out, upvote your faves, and drop your best game recommendations in the comments.
Bored Panda reached out to the team at ‘Weird Media,’ who created the massively popular ‘Gaming Memes’ and ‘Wasted’ accounts on Instagram, and Co-founder Cory Scandalis was kind enough to answer our questions. You'll find our full interview with him below.

Depends on the NPC. Got no problem telling Roman in GTA4 to get bent.

Aww! I have two friends I game with/talk to on Discord… they met online, started dating, and even though (currently) one lives here in the US and the other lives in Canada, they are engaged and will be getting married as soon as the Canadian one can get her visa application in order! I told them I insist on being invited to the wedding XD

Games used to just be… words. No graphics or images, just words. Zork was the best. (And the 5 billion MUDs I played once the internets was a thing.)

Oh, you have full enchanted netherite armour from Peaceful and used Creative a bit? That’s fine, it’s okay to be a little scared. And this’ll help prepare you to do it one day in full Survival!

Yeah my Steam library is currently standing at just under 600 games. I've played most of them I think... Maybe...

I am so happy he’s behind the Warhammer 40k show. You just KNOW it’ll be done right. This man is fully invested in the source material… as an aside, we’ll never have a better Geralt than he.

Killing demons - that’s what the Doom games are all about! What could possibly be MORE Christian than killing demons? >_>

I buy all the capes in Helldivers 2 before I buy the better weapons…. XD

I wasted all my ammo on this scene before I realized he can't be killed, and I could run away. *memories*

I remember when polygons first became a thing… XD FFVII and Tomb Raider, yikes. Only a couple hundred polygons per character back in those days.

“As of 2023, 119,550 World War II veterans are still alive, out of the 16.1 million Americans who fought in the war. The museum estimates that 131 of these veterans are dying each day.” My grandpa fought in that war (and his great-grandpa in the Revolutionary War). It just seems so crazy to me that history is literally dying before our eyes.

Can someone explain? I Googled and found that PlayStation has been around longer than Xbox, so I’m not entirely sure why Xbox’s comment was seen as an insult. Is it just because they’re competitor companies, or am I missing smth? Idk much about either company, so don’t hate me for not getting it.

Ahh, now I’m sad again… reminds me of TotalBiscuit. One of my favorite commentators. After he died, they put an Easter egg memorial to him into the game Doom Eternal. We’ve lost a lot of gamers/commentators/streamers. May they live on in our hearts and minds. (RIP Reckful, too, though he did not die of cancer.)

Sims 2 is, and will always be, the better game. Sadly my EA App refuses to admit I own it.

I'm so glad that precisely zero FPS games require you to manage your ammo by clip. I.E. reload and lose all the ammo in that clip permanently or making you spend five minutes reloading clips between levels. That's a level of immersion I don't want.

Dear pedants: Yes, we know. Yes, we all see it too. No, you don’t “have” to fix it in a comment XD

That's totally not what it was like back in the 90s. We had CRTs. Otherwise, checks out.

I'd prefer a sequel to LA Noire but there no way in hell that's ever happening.

Isn't he the one who got nailed for beating his GF so badly that she spent a week in the hospital? But nobody believed her because she worked in pron? I'm pretty sure that was him.

Heh, in my day, we only had The Oregon Trail on Apple II in computer lab XD Some of us nerds would name the in-game family members after the class bullies and then let them die of dysentery in the game. (“Nerd” was an epithet back then and NOT a good thing to be.)
