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.
Germans tend to answer honestly (or are at least much more likely to) - it's much less of a pleasantry there, it is more likely to be treated as a real question.

When I was a kid I was always trying to give accurate answers when someone asked "how are you?" or "how you doing?". Took me.a while to understand nobody really cares about your answer and that it is just a form of small talk with standard answer.
Me too sometimes, it depends on whom is asking you. In Italy it's not a real form of small talk because we're very talkative people but you know, nobody want to hear you're not ok so...it takes me many years to understand the difference between real interest and formal small talk. :(

I'm in my 50's and have always said how pointless that question is. I've heard coffee shop workers complain that people order their morning coffee without answering their, "How are you?" greeting. There is no other acceptable answer other than 'good'. I wish they'd change their greeting to, "Hi, what can I get for you?" That is a meaningful question. One of these times I'm going to say, "Well, the state of the world has me down, I'm a middle aged woman still dealing with her overbearing mother, people are on my nerves on a daily basis and this is officially my 10,000th day straight of losing the lottery. I could be better, but thanks for asking, Emily. A coffee would be great right about now."
This seems culture dependent to me. In the Netherlands you are often wished a good day. When asked how you are doing, it depends on the relationship, but the answer is often complaining in the form of: It could be better or something weather related.
I'm coming over to your house rn

Not my neighbour. Ask her how she is... Put on your counsellor hat, ohhh my back, I couldn't sleep a wink last night, the queue in the doctor's surgery, did I tell you about....?
This is not a grown ups thing. It's an American thing. I hear it at all the time. Americans are too friendly. Americans are busy bodies. Trust me. We're the only ones doing this. If you asked how someone was in Germany, after the shock wore off, they'll tell you their whole life story and where it went wrong!
Okay, this might be off-topic, but I had this exact journal as a little kid! It's from the Junie B. Jones series (fun kids' books!) I remember looking at this page and thinking, "Well, everyone's pretty weird..."
Used to have a manager who would say "How are you?" to you and then, before you had a chance to reply, follow up with "Good.".
If you answer 'bad', then that mens that you will have therapy from them for 3 hours... Believe me.
I usually answer with fine or ok if I'm not good. When I ask anyone how they are, I hope to hear the truth. As a society, we are always in a hurry. Taking a few extra minutes to check on someone who is not feeling good, mentally/physically, can help them in the long run. Mental health is important. It's ok to not feel good. Just have to figure out why
I work in retail. It totally p**s me off when you ask how you doing and get the response: aaaaaaah can't complain 😞
I like to say 'living the dream' .. Its total sarcasm as I'm not livin' the dream... is that awful too?

You are welcome to rebel, and state your true condition. Just don't overwhelm people with a lot of details.
You should say "well" as the query is about your health not your behaviour.
If you tell them how you really are, they’ll TALK TO YOU or, worse, offer ADVICE. And kid, adults aren’t just weird - they stupid. (Sorry, I’m an introvert).
Sad and true but yet this has become the norm, so as not to add on to someone else stress. Bcuz you also understand that people are also goin through their own struggles. So to keep it quick and painless we spread hope in replying, "I'm fine thanx, how are you"? No need for details, but atleast someone acknowledged you enough to ask.
I say "fine" or "all right" or "eh". I haven't been " good" in a very long time.
That's okay. When you turn into a teenager you say "fine" for the next 5 years and don't really mean it either
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.
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.

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.
