This Account Is Entirely Dedicated To Very Relatable Memes And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones
No-Context Content uses [Confusion]: It’s Super Effective! It’s healthy to bring a bit of nonsense and weirdness into your life—it brings you outside your comfort zone, and gives you a brand new perspective on, well, pretty much everything. And that’s on top of helping you sharpen your creativity.
Many of us like to feel like we’re internet veterans. When it comes to online posts, people generally feel that they’ve seen it all. Over and over again. So it comes as a pleasant surprise when we stumble upon a meme, pic, or screenshot that makes us do a genuine double-take. That’s where the ‘Emotional Club’ page comes in.
A massively popular social media account, it shares various nonsensical pics and signs that befuddle and bemuse Instagram users. We’ve collected some of their funniest pics that will probably make you scratch your head and ask, ‘What?!’ Check ‘em out below, and don’t forget to upvote your faves!

The ‘Emotional Club’ social media page has almost 1 million followers. At the time of writing, a whopping 986k online users followed the account. It’s easy to see why.
The content is very different from what you’d usually find while scrolling through Instagram.
Instead of ‘perfectly’ framed and photo-edited pics, you see raw, unfiltered snapshots from people’s daily lives. All taken when they’ve randomly stumbled upon something that made the rational parts of their brains short-circuit.
Frankly, the number of weird signs and sentences you can spot around any town is surprising. It just takes a keen eye.
The founder of the page posts new pics on a regular basis, so there’s nearly always something freshly bizarre to pique your interest. And it really gets your imagination all fired up: what exactly is the context behind these photos? What the everlovin’ heck is going on? Who wrote these things? Are they regular people, just like us? What's the deal here?
Bored Panda covered nonsensical internet content a number of times before. One of the things that we found was that absurdity works hand-in-hand with humor.
They form a symbiotic relationship that helps elevate a pic or screenshot to meme status. Without humor, however, the photo might not get all that much attention: it needs to stick in the audience’s mind somehow. And laughter is key, here.
I don't know how to life neither. Sometimes, you just got to whack the board off the table and watch the pieces fly everywhere
Another aspect of absurd and nonsensical internet content is just how much freedom it grants the audience. Everyone seeing the peculiar photos is at liberty to interpret them the way they want to.
Since there’s not much context to go on, each and every one of us creates a small story in our heads, trying to rationalize what we’re seeing (and why). The memes become personal. There’s no burden of descriptions, explanations, and on-photo calls to action.
I'd end up with local kids kicking a ball against it and the constant 'thud' of it would drive me mad.....yep I hate football/soccer
Not gonna lie, sometimes it takes a little bit of courage to just go ahead and cry
I wonder if it would work if I wore a sign like that while waiting for my other half to exit the store
Whatever the drawbacks of social media (and believe us, there are plenty—from shortening attention spans to lowered self-esteem), one positive aspect that it brings is that there’s a far lower barrier to entry for creators.
In other words, if you’re a photographer or an artist, it becomes incredibly easy to share your work with a global audience.
I love Mr Rogers! But my favorite was Romper Room! Remember the song? “Romper stomper bomper boo! Tell me, tell me..is that you? Oh I see Mary and Billy …and Oh! I see you!” And I remember watching The Gentle Giant and most importantly Captain Kangaroo! And did anyone really have the picture pages to Bill Colby’s tv show in the 70’s called Picture Pages? We were poor so we didn’t send away for them. It was about 1977 that I watched that in kindergarten before school. Oh my gosh….I just outEd myself as old! Lol
However, not everyone feels comfortable sharing their own work. Some are anxious about how others will judge them. Others don’t believe that what they have to offer is anything special or original. And creating your own original memes can mean that you have to get used to rejection and failure: it takes practice to hook you chosen audience and reel them in with your chose brand of humor.
There was a park bench in my area with a plaque saying "In loving memory of [name]. If you aren't holding a beer, please sit elsewhere." Then some jerk ripped it off the bench and broke it in several pieces. I found all but two of those pieces and, out of compassion for the family, I glued it back together and tracked down one of the poor guy's friends to offer the repaired plaque back. Plot twist: THE GUY WASN'T EVEN DEAD! He had just moved away! He and his friends were very pleased to see the plaque back in one piece, though, and told me I could keep it. It's on my kitchen wall to this very day.
The key here is to focus on the unique personal perspective that you can offer the world. Biting the bullet and putting yourself and your creativity out there is a step that definitely requires courage.
However, the potential rewards can potentially be great, whether you plan on becoming a full-time creator or simply want to share a few fun and funky pics with everyone else. It’s essential to be unapologetically genuine. There’s always an audience for whatever you’re good at.
"I feel like I've been cheated out of something but I don't know what it is." My favorite graffiti ran length of wall on E Street in San Bernardino. It was there for ~10 years. Local gangs didn't paint over it. City didn't remove it. Appears it resonated with everyone.
So, Pandas, which of these memes did you enjoy the most? Which ones confused the heck out of you? Were there any that really made your noggin jog, forcing you to create a backstory (frankly, any backstory) to explain what you saw? We'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts on this, so why not drop by the comments to share your opinions.
I think El Arroyo might be the main reason to visit texas. I've seen a lot of these.
Ha, that was the name of the angry ex girlfriend's salon in "Blues Brothers". Man Carrie Fisher was awesome in that movie.
The one in the Blues Brothers was an actual salon with that name. Used to pass it going into the city.

This was the name of Lady Tremaine's (sorry if I spelt that wrong) hair salon in Descendants.
Knew I recognised the 0121 area code. Same for Solihull where I grew up :)

Back in the 80s a friend worked at a salon called "Short & Curlys". I was too young at the time to know what it meant ... no wonder he was embarrassed.
Genius! Love cleverly named businesses. Makes me want to shop there more for some reason.
One of my favourites was in Muswell Hill, North London. A launderette exquisitely named the 'Wishy washy, splishy sploshy, cleany nickie, very quickie'. Would pass it on the way to visit my sister.

I remember a DJ in Washington State asked people to suggest names for Prince Charles and Princess Diana's first child. Someone called in and said "Upton." The DJ asked why. The person said "because then you could call them Up, Chuck and Di."
Don't know why there's so many crying people going in and out of there..
I used drive past a place called "Oh Your Nappy Hair Salon." I always loved it!
Similar name throughout country and a major turnoff for many prospective customers.
I tell my husband I'm going to this place every day after work. Oh, no, wait...
OMG I actually worked here as a teen! It was in kings heath in Birmingham!
When im back from being mentally injured probably the ad already broken and dusty
Coupled with anxiety, existential crisis, quarter life crisis, and just all the s**t happening in general
You laugh, but I actually DID dream about being asleep last night. People in the dream kept telling me to stop lying down because I was supposed to be doing something. But I didn't get where I am today by listening to that kind of negativity.
On Easter morning, Jesus, son of Mary, arose from the dead. This morning, Bob, son of Joan, did not fare as well.
A Frank word with God is a good thing. *Omg, I think I can't stop. Leaving again*
People often break off the one banana that is too much for them and that's what's left over. Since I know that these single bananas often have to be thrown away, I prefer to buy them.
I've heard winning the lottery can really screw things up. Just wanted to offer my personal money offloading services for anyone who might have won too much money.
It really does. But in some ways it is less sucky than the last century.
This is really sad and concerning, especially as it seems to be a thing child's schoolwork. Hope the adult took more action then just photo it for fun.
Yo I just realized I think this picture is OJ in the white bronco being chased by the cops in LA back in the 90’s! Wow.
“Ann” also doesn’t know how to tell her baby’s daddy that that his DNA doesn’t match.
I make my mom sad because I gave her grandcats instead of grandkids... not even sorry though lol
This is an initiative to get people to eat irregular fruit. Good cause minus the packaging.
After over a month searching and asking friends and family, Lorette realised that she never actually had any chairs at all; for sale, or otherwise. In fact, if anything, Lorette needed to procure some chairs herself. Her other half turned her off and on again, but it would appear that Lorette is stuck in a loop, constantly asking herself for chairs that she doesn't have and then denying all knowledge of any chairs at all. Loopus is a very real and debilitating condition and your donation of just $2 can help fund vital research.
I'm trying to lift myself out of depression today. My team at work went out for drinks last night. They've been planning it for about a month, and I only found out about it yesterday afternoon when my colleague asked if I was going. So, basically, it turned out they didn't invite me.
If someone asked if you were going, then you WERE invited. Just sayin…💟☮️

This said "funny memes" but I felt like a lot of them were sad. Hang in there everybody!
Hey for anyone going through something just know I'm here for you and I'm sure many others are too xxx
I mean, some of them are funny, and I get what this article meant. But I feel like reading these kind of reenforces depression or stuff like that by pretending it's funny or relatable.
Depression is all about feeling alienated, so that's probably not a huge problem if it's portrayed as funny and relatable.
