Who doesn’t love a good meme? An image with a sentence or two that often sums up a situation better than poems ever would. Well, we sure love a relatable one, so today, we have listed quite a few of them in the hopes that you would enjoy it, too.
The humorous images have been shared by the ‘Free To Meme’ Instagram account, racking up nearly 28 thousand followers as of now. Started back in 2017, the source of internet gold has already posted roughly 4.5 thousand memes covering nearly any and every situation you can find yourself in, so scroll down to find them and enjoy some relatable internet content.

I don't find it now, but I remember the article about a man doing five years in prison because he stolen some millions and hidden them in a fiscal paradise. They offered him a reduction of the prison time for the money back, but he reasoned that "I'm paid a couple of millions a year to rest and study in prison"
“Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it.” ― Henry Thomas Buckle
How old is this meme? I never get tired of that face. That and the Donald Trump mugshot never fail to crack me up.
I read a man robbed a bank for a dollar so he can go to prison for free healthcare
My dog is opposite, when I travel for work she stays with my downstairs neighbours. They have a dog too to she's fine. They send me videos of her cuddling up with them and begging for their attention. Getting scratchy scratchy or belly rubs. When I'm back and we go for a walk together she ignores them.. doesn't even acknowledge them. She's mean...
Nowadays, memes could arguably be considered an art form or a piece of cultural heritage. Not only do they provide a much-needed giggle to people of all walks of life, they also help immortalize the realities of current society, this way allowing future generations to see what people were mostly focusing on or dealing with at a certain time.
Take the cartoon from 1921, for instance, found in the satirical magazine The Judge (published by the University of Iowa), which is considered by some to be one of the first memes ever recorded. Following the common ‘expectations vs. reality’ template, it is a drawing of a gentleman as he imagines himself looking when a flashlight (photograph) is taken vs. a drawing of what he actually looks like.
While probably quite a few people back in the early 1920s could have related to the unmet expectations of taking a flashlight, nowadays individuals might have to make a quick internet search to be sure what that is exactly; and that perfectly sums up the actualities of both—societies back then and now.
I've often felt that if I could talk to people how I talk to passing dogs, my life would have turned out differently.
Imagine they've got big furry ears when you end up in conversation next time!

As we were driving away, that sweet girl leaned as far as she could out the window while buckled into the back seat. She was determined to get scritches and say bye bye, I love you. Since I was not driving, I happily obliged for as long as we were right next to each other at a red light. People behind us must have been confused. 😂
With that gorgeous dog across from me, I would be the one causing the traffic jam!
I like to shout at dogs passing by with heads out the window "you're a good boy, or girl!"
Similarly to the 1921 cartoon, memes nowadays, too, tend to depict what people find to be relevant in their time. And you don’t need to look far to find proof; just look at the amount of memes that were created during the Covid years, for example.
Painting a picture of the hardships or simply the bizarre reality people found themselves in, memes became both an outlet for people to express themselves and works of art, if you will, encapsulating what living through the pandemic felt like.
The people complaining about this are the exact same people who were fully supporting the Patriot Act - the most intrusive laws ever devised by man. "If you're not doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about."

Arthritis is a b***h. OTOH, the Predator is welcome to relieve me of my pain.

This could make a great addition to a resume for an aspiring musician who already exhausted all alternative career paths.
In a way, the artwork that are memes can be even considered folklore. That’s because they can be created by nearly everyone in our society, thus representing all sorts of perspectives in regards to one and the same phenomenon.
Folklorist Lynne S. McNeill pointed out that folklore is not about what the unique minds and the rare geniuses are capable of, it’s about “what the rest of us can do; the stuff that everybody is capable of producing”.
That owner is letting you enjoy the presence of their lovely dog and that’s the thanks you give them? Rude.
It’s a joke. About wanting to socialize with pets but not humans.
Load More Replies...I am so guilty of completely forgetting to even acknowledge the owner sometimes 😆
I feel you. I know the names of all my neighbors' dogs. I do not know my neighbors' names. They are just "Milo's mom" and "Aki's dad", etc XD
Load More Replies...Yeah, I'm always gonna ask if it's okay to greet the dog. I know it's a joke but it is important to check.
Definitely, don't like when people touch my dog without asking. She's super friendly and demanding stroking her etc but not every dog wish to be touched
Load More Replies...I always ask for permission to pet the dogs and what the dogs name is. If I want to praise the pooch I need to speak to whoever holds the leash.
Hey owner can you please just go away for a few minutes while i play with your pup? Thanks!
Big Rock has his arm around Little Rock like, oh you're not leaving me with stoned scary rock. Little Rock's eyes show he knows there is no escape.

Wait, who are you and why are you asking me questions?! I just came in for the air conditioning... it's hot AF outside!
I used to enjoy the occasional marathon but now it's called snickers
In her Ted Talk, McNeill explained that folk culture entails “the types of artistic expressive cultural production that everyone is capable of engaging in” and internet memes can surely fit such a description.
As a matter of fact, according to the expert, the internet has been described as the world’s largest unintentional folklore archive, and it’s clear to anyone with an online presence that memes are a huge part of what the net has to offer.
I would but they don't have dark mode which is freaking ridiculous

My dog tends to bark her face off because something is outside, but if you open the door to let her out she's all "Oh.. right.. yeah nah it's probably fine"
Same! But at least they sound ferocious and hopefully scare off anything out there...before they run and hide under the bed.
Load More Replies...My 3lb chihuahua will laugh at danger in their face, my 70lb house hippo hides behind me like a small child.

While it’s bold to compare Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa with the Disaster Girl (a template often used for making memes), for instance, such a comparison shows that one is an iconic piece of Renaissance art painted by a person now considered a genius, while the other is a tool of expression, allowing the general public to depict all sorts of situations others can likely relate to.
While one is clearly more historically significant than the other, the face typically linked with disastrous events might become a well-known figure for future generations analyzing the events of the past; especially the period surrounding the pandemic and other important moments of the early 21st century.
The main radio station i listen to is a Classic Rock station. It makes me feel old as heck. Nirvana is Classic Rock?!?! Soundgarden is Classic Rock!?!? Arrrrrrghh. Ouch hurt my hemhorrroid there.

Yes, fine that's me. But tbh I did that with my parents and the 60s/70s.
Also fish lips, I really don’t understand why so many ladies ruin their natural look in order to look like they have two sardines over their teeth.

The eyebrows hahaha I was just saying yesterday to my husband bout the eyebrow trend of ridiculously thick unnatural drawn on women looks hideous and he as a man agreed and said him and his friends laugh when they see a woman with those silly brows...so all you women please love yourself the way you naturally are
Problem is, many of us are left with virtually no eyebrows after the overplucking trend of the 90s and 00s. If you have no visible eyebrows, you need to draw them on, they frame the face.
Load More Replies...I don't understand it either, and I'm a girl I think they look like muppets! They always have big lips and large eyelashes on female muppets
LOVE that the left eyebrow, "is a bit different" when compared to the right one 😂
I'm all for people presenting and expressing as they choose. I prefer natural and simple. But there's a whole lot some people do to their eyebrows and faces right - microblading, laminating, all those layers and layers of makeup. It's beyond me but some people seem to love it so they can go for it.
I have an UP right now. :) I just quit my job where the boss fired me in a screaming rage back in September for a failure that wasn't mine. He hadn't the balls to apologise to me directly but letting a colleague call me if I would come back the next day. I came back because I need the money but I started to look for a new job immediately. I start next month. More money - less work - no a*****e boss. :)
I am happy for you! I hope this next job is better for your mental health, and good on you for quitting <3 ! Also f**k the boss

Talking about the internet—the world’s largest unintentional folklore archive—folklorist Lynne S. McNeill pointed out that all of the jokes, rumors, incomprehensible slang, and other information we share online becomes documented cultural data just by the act of sharing it.
“This is unprecedented,” she said. “For the first time in history, we are preserving our folk culture in all its artistry, its wisdom, its insight, its offline manifestations as well as its on, its social commentary, as we create and share it.”
That’s why, according to McNeill, creating—or even sharing—an internet meme is a valid cultural performance, which adds to the documentation and the preservation of contemporary folk culture.

Load More Replies...Sir, I think you may have confused a dog with the space alien your girlfriend is holding. It does no appear to have a face, just a very large mouth perfect for sucking human souls out.
That looks like a dog I’ve met who would absolutely do that lol
I blocked my aunt on facebook because she posts the most gorgeous photos of her daughter and grandchildren but when it comes to my sister and I she'll catch us in the lake just bobbing our heads out wet hair all stuck to the face. That awkward goth phase you had as a kid? She'll resurface that photo too on your birthday. Why the competition? Lol unhinged.
Another point that McNeill made was the fact that folklore doesn’t get passed on for no reason, so if information—be it an image, a joke, a meme, or else—stays in circulation, that means it’s saying something.
That arguably also means that it will say something for cultural anthropologists in the future, too, who will try to wrap their heads around what the person in the early 2020s or other periods was going through.
Every car I have ever owned, including the Sundance I paid $50 for, has been more reliable and trustworthy than any girlfriend I have had.
In my house, the animals are family. Do I have to clean husky hair off of everything and vacuum daily? More than you know. Am I mad about it? Never.
My dog wants a cuddle, I want a cuddle, I'm sitting on the sofa. So why would the dog be on the floor?
My dog has his own chair, and he looks at you very confused when you sit in it. :P
do you never cuddle them, then? And if you do, how? Do you lay on the ground?
Mine are allowed on furniture, but when they lay on the floor I curled up next to them and bury my face in the floof.
Load More Replies...We got my dachshund 2 sets of stairs so he can get up on either side of the couch and it's covered in his toys!
My dog has a ramp to get on the sofa for cuddles in his old age. He currently has five stuffed animals and one ball in his spot. This morning I left him with a heat pad. He deserves all of it, my good boy.
People don't realize who's world it is. Thank your pet for letting you live in it
It can be funny to think about the idea that someone might try to understand the views of our society by analyzing the situations in which the face of the Disaster Girl was used, the times people chose to send an image of Harold seemingly smiling through the pain, or the hardships that encouraged individuals to share an image of a dog saying “It’s fine” while surrounded by flames on their social media accounts.
But that’s part of what represents our reality and popular culture now and what many people all over the world can relate to. The format of memes allows humans to surpass the barriers of language as the text can be translated or adapted to a specific location, while the image stays the same, which means Harold might help people express their emotions in both the US and Estonia, for instance.

The idea that memes can help conserve certain cultural aspects of our society as it is now makes humorous images—such as the posts shared by ‘Girls Think I’m Funny’—more than just entertainment. But even if it wasn’t much more than that, it wouldn’t make it any less fun, so, if you’re done scrolling through this list and you’d like to see more, check out Bored Panda’s meme category dedicated to just that.

It's much better to say "stop acting crazy" or "my lord, you sound like your mother." Full disclaimer, don't say these things, I am a professional. Do not confuse my joke with advice because it is certainly not advice.
Better to emphasize something she's already doing, this praise reinforces her morale - 'stand your ground' is an excellent example
