It's hard to quantify how many memes there are on the internet. One source claims that people share around one million memes a day on Instagram alone. Memes are like wild rabbits: only a few at first, they start replicating real fast, soon threatening to overtake the human population.
And only a few pages online do a good job of making people truly laugh. "The Recovering Problem Child" Instagram page is one of them, having already attracted over 626k followers. Are you looking for some time to waste and have a good belly laugh? Then these memes about everything and anything are just right for you!

The creator of "The Recovering Problem Child" Instagram page is Sam Grannis (although, whether that's his real name, we'll probably never know). We talked to Sam previously when we covered his meme page last time. He told us more about what it takes to run a successful meme page on Instagram and how the page came to be.
Essentially, it all started when Sam would scroll other meme pages and think: "I could do that." In fact, some of his friends would tell him that he was the best meme poster in his friend circle on Facebook. After seeing some of the meme pages he was following on IG making money, he decided to give it a try.
"I have a knack for identifying what people will find funny/relate to, on top of that I also go out of my way to post content that hasn't been shared by 100 other accounts before I post it. So my followers know they're gonna get hot new content on my page," Sam told us last year.
A good meme, according to Sam, is all about two main components: a good visual and funny captions. If you have both of these elements, your meme will likely be dynamite, according to Sam.

This is a true fact and it irks me every day to deal with someone banging on about something they know nothing about. Grrrr.
"The image/video is the most important component of a meme," he explained back then. "You can have an average caption but if the content you're using is really good, it will carry the meme and still be really funny. If you're able to write a caption that hasn't been overused and is still relatable/funny and the image/video you're using is great in itself, that's the recipe for a viral meme.”

I'm not even anyone's mother, and even I can see that's a rookie mistake
We meme appreciators might not realize how hard it can sometimes be to maintain a meme page. It's not just about posting silly pictures and slapping a caption on it from time to time. According to Sam, it's also about being able to adapt to the ever-changing terms of service. Any owner of a popular meme account has to be well-versed in what kind of content is allowed and what kind of content might get you suspended.

I have to support your decision. THE greatest American novel ever written.
"If I were to hand my account to a random person, I don't think the account would remain longer than a week," the creator said honestly. "It takes a very strong understanding of the TOS to carry on. What sucks about that is the quality of content suffers but it's what must be done to maintain your account."

Memes are so prevalent nowadays that we often don't even think about them when and where we encounter them. If you're on the internet, chances are you're going to see a meme or two that day. In fact, sharing memes is one of the most popular things to do for Gen Z and millennials.

In a 2019 poll, 66% of teens and young adults said they're either very likely or somewhat likely to share memes someone else created when they're online. Interestingly, many are meme-makers themselves. 20% said they're very likely to share their own memes on social media, and 25% would be somewhat likely.
If there's one thing a meme definitely needs to be, it's funny. That's the main criterion for most people. What researchers find is that folks are getting fed up with political meme content. Even in 2020, the Pew Research Center found that more than half of Americans were "worn out" by political posts and discussions.

Recently read a story about (just so happens to be) GenZ preferring a dictatorship over having a representative Government. THIS is what too much screen time does, and I'm NOT ok with it. Give me both for/against arguments and let ME decide.

If i ever get pregnant (which i will not) I will use this as an excuse not to do stuff. "You never get any exercise anymore!" "I'll have you know I'm body building, in a literal sense"
And if the most viral memes of 2024 are any indication, Gen Z wants to keep politics and memes apart. Except maybe for the Kamala Coconut meme, which made the list of 2024's most popular memes. Folks are much more into self-deprecating humor, dolphin scenery soundtracked with a cheerful song, or Pepe the King Prawn.
So far in 2025, the crown for the most popular meme goes to the Pepe the King Prawn. People use the template to share some of the wildest stories they ever experienced in a series of slides. Whether it's the subway story, or the olive oil story, when you scroll to the face of Pepe, you're probably in for a good one.

I talk to my dog like this. And she's deaf, so she can't even hear what I'm saying. I still think she understands though. She loves other dogs, but she always wants to pet them with her front paws. They usually don't like this. I keep telling her "you can sniff your friends and you can lick your friends, but keep your hands to yourself". She knows, but she can't help herself. They're all just too cute.

I am 69 years old. My newest primary informed me he was leaving the medical group I use. He was the 6th new primary I have had in 2 years. I went to see a specialist for a test, they asked who my primary was. I said "I don't know" they looked at me sadly and gave me a cognitive test.

Trix are full of canola and sunflower oil which contain 61% and 20-80% oleic acid, respectively. Oleic acid is what tells ants they're dead, even if they're not. Spray an ant with it, and it will proceed to lay itself on the funeral pile until it wears off.

I go through this every year with phone providers, TV services, etc. They'll hugely bump the price up, I call and ask to cancel (not threaten, I will cancel if it comes to it, really doesn't bother me) then they'll say "if you stay with us we'll knock 75% off". Well just fookin do that in the first place!! Why do we have to waste each others time every year with this pointless pantomime???

I can do this with birds, but not cars. Like, yes that's a Northern Flicker, and that's a Barn Swallow (my favorite North American bird). I can kind of do that with butterflies too, but not as well. The only caterpillar I can identify on sight is the monarch, oh and pipe vine. And cecropia moth obviously, because they are enormous.

Those became permanent at my high school. Just a little coat of paint and replace the cinder blocks underneath it with an actual cement slab. Also, window AC units, because Texas. We used to call them the "T" buildings. Even after the school was rebuilt, they then became the "9th grade academy" since freshmen apparently had to be segregated from our bad @$$3$

This my sister. She is currently skiiing in France. Last month, she went to Florida to sit on a beach for a week. Next month, she's headed to Amsterdam. I'm lucky if I can manage a road trip to the neighbouring state once a year.

It could be due to such things as a strong tailwind, favorable routing during the flight, or an unusually short taxi to the runway. Also, don't forget the airlines have been increasing and padding the scheduled flight times to create the illusion of having better on-time performance.

The strangest thing happened to me today. I went to the basement to get something from my freezer & there were people I didn't recognize. Not funny but disconcerting.
