Memes are a universal language of the internet. Not only do we share them to laugh, but also to communicate, criticize, and reflect on the current trends. Essentially, they speak of, or rather make a meme of what’s really buzzing right now: think of 2020 and 2021 memes, Squid Game memes, and Mike Pence’s fly on the head memes.
Some memes, on the other hand, refer to the things that most of us find very relatable. They identify a common experience, a feeling, and even an opinion. How come such personal things are so universal, you wonder? Well, we may not have the answers to the phenomenon, but we surely have a lot of hilarious memes of our daily lives in the hooman world to chuckle upon.
And thanks to the Instagram page “Is You Funny,” below is a whole collection of them to scroll through. According to the page’s description, it’s the “most relatable page on the gram,” and it seems like a whopping 2.7M followers would totally agree.

Is the American presidential system so flawed that it can go from a genuinely good man to one of the worst human beings to ever walk the planet? Something needs fixing.
Short answer: yes There were so many racist white people outraged at having a black man in "our white house" (yes that's a direct quote from a new story) they chose the most outrageous followup candidate they could find.

I was so proud of him. Handsome and articulate he was a big change for this country and was a leader I could actually say I was proud of in America.
Barack obama was one of the best presidents. If only they allowed a third term...
If they kept allowing multiple terms, we'd still be on Eisenhower.

John Lewis was a fine man. He is the one between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Obama. Was at the first Selma March and never let anyone forget what it stood for. Too many greedy, rich idiots "representing" us now.
But also it reflects on the people as well, Obama is with people and his family, while trump used military control over public
Obama seemed to do it all very naturally and with style... while Trump did it so ummm "tacky and flashy".

Hm..really, REALLY not trumpfan, but I am prety sure all the people beihdn Obama were vetted. Any American president is very much protected and for good reason.
That's what I was thinking... what's the context on this?

When someone says they still support the fascist Oompa Loompa after he rallied domestic terrorists to attack the capital of the U.S. it let's me know that they still choose to support , homophobia, nationalism, anti-science rhetoric, misogyny, and hatred against anyone who is different from their mayonnaise covered Wonder Bread view of the world.
I'm still trying to figure out why we didn't moammar Kadafi that little mother-trumpers a$$ after his first few months in office.
Yes, yes and yes! I admire Obama; Trump scares me. (And I'm not an American.)
Will it ever stop? IDK how much more I can take of this piece of isht. The only thing I want to hear about him is the length of his sentence in the pen.
I believe Trump did some good things such as establishing a dialogue with North Korea, but I believe he was also egotistical
You honestly believe Trump accomplished anything in North Korea other than convince the world he was a fool? Kim Jong-un played him like a fiddle, and all Trump could do was dance to the tune. There's a reason no other American president has wasted his time with N. Korea.

A true leader, who somehow got more votes than ever before, doesn't need 20,000 troops to protect him when he's sworn in.
He does when fifty million brain-dead Trumptards are convinced the election was rigged.
Load More Replies... Voted for Obama.. Also voted for Trump. I'm confused, with this photo - it's incredibly misleading. What were the circumstances? Was it a pro-police rally? Or him just walking down the street? Was this a scheduled parade for something? Or him just walking with thousands of people? Need more context, this doesn't say an ..... thing.
I've never understood how anyone could go from Obama to Trump. But then, I never bought into the GOP's anti-Hillary propaganda, so that may be a factor. Any way you look at it, Trump was the biggest mistake the American electorate ever made.

To be more specific, he cleared the street to walk down it so he could stand in front of a church he'd never set foot inside of, holding a bible he'd never read, for a photo op to fool his easily fooled lemmings.
As a European, I will tell it as it is - the Donald was way more fun than Obama (and notwithstanding the media narrative, the Orange Man did reduce America's bombing footprint around the world as compared to his predecessors ...which is a win for all)
Presidents aren't supposed to be "fun." They're supposed to be competent. Trump was neither.

Now you guys are discriminating him because of his looks. You are racist.
The streets need to be secured due to convicts and felons on the left tryn to make a name for themselves! #thuglife
Ha trumps wasn't an open event to the public! He still has larger crouds not being president than biden ever did. I liked obama as a person,funny and nice. Show one of biden, he couldn't get a crowd offering free pizza, many of his speeches on you tube get only a couple thousand views!
This is the level of delusion you're at, huh. Obama was a horrible pres. All the wars and drone strikes. Trump was unlikeable and the corporate media smeared him like they're doing everyone else.
What a difference. Why are we (America) going down this road to fascist hell?
When a dynamic, intelligent, compassionate man was in the White House.
Oh please. The difference in pictures is that one shows it like it is (respect for a leader of the country, which Obozo never was) and the other had to have it staged (Obama)
And non ignorant Americain don't vote for a guy that has lied, cheated, stole, and has been bankrupt more then 5 times. Do you research people. Just because you adults are out of school doesn't give you a right to function in our country like idiots. Be responsible...do your research before you vote. Little Dony boy is clearing the streets because anyone smart enough wouldn't want to get near that putrid stench and knee high piles of s#!t that comes out of his mouth like a broken faucet.
We should all make a pack and not put that man's face on anything anymore and not say his name. Just stop the visceral by erasing him from history
That imbecile fascist clown never was and never will be a real leader.
No, a con man needs a crowd to pick pockets and get donations so he can build ten million dollar houses on Martha's Vineyard and Hawaii. Then tell us normal folks how he feels us.
It is sad that you truly see Trump as the worst and Obama the best merely because the media told you so. I came here for memes, not political statements. You all are painfully predictable. I also know that the second I post this I will come back later and find multiple replies stating that I'm wrong and a bigot for liking Trump. Either that or someone is going to reply saying that we aren't going to call you a bigot just tell me that I am wrong. I dare yall to do it to prove my point.
I don't see Obama as the best. I see Trump as the worst because he was.

Yeah...at some point we will have to agree with Trump that his erection was stolen...but who would want it? Ewww!
Obama had dozens of secret service agents around him. See sunglasses to the left.
Why do you think secret service exists? He wasn’t able to be in public without protection because some imbecile would try to hurt or assassinate him.

the irony was that the Trump photo was taken on his trip to London - nobody came to see him arrive - the Mall was empty, a few protesters kept at a distance and that was it.
oh really, I thought it was the day he need to walk to collect a bible to hold it up - thanks for clarifying

Yeah trumps 40 air strikes in Somalia in 2020 killed kids and surpassed the amount of drone strikes Obama okayed in 10 years.

This is the trumpers new motto bc they would love for the normal people to get complacent and forget what trump has done. Before it was them crying about Obama and hilary and now Hunter while screaming and having temper tantrums if anyone disagrees w them. They don't like they're not being heard like they were before so they say this hoping everyone forgets before trump tries to run for office again.

For real though. I miss Tupac, he would've taken out this trash years ago.
Memes are a quintessential part of the internet culture. It’s where they’re born, where they spread and where they evolve. Seemingly fun and lighthearted, they create a culture of unspoken referential importance by using explicit cultural knowledge, which is a big deal of its own accord. Thanks to them, it seems like there’s never a dull moment online. Today the concept of a meme has evolved into elaborate structures that can come in many forms, like challenges, videos, viral sensations, GIFs, and images with accompanying captions.
I've seen this photo a bunch I laugh every time. However, I've never seen the "before" photo and it does not disappoint.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that from a linguistic point of view, memes are incredibly sophisticated. In fact, meme creators use “multimodal grammar,” which refers to a post which has both images and captions, to express and share ideas and opinions. As soon as a meme lands on social networks, people start sharing it and add their own personal meanings to the content. That’s why there’s never a final nor single meaning of a particular meme.
That's clever, because anyone can understand it the way that comforts their own opinions.
The fact that internet memes, units of popular culture, constantly circulate, imitate and transform with the help of users, makes them so special. Limor Shifman, a scholar who specializes in the study of internet memes, believes that a meme is not a single idea or image which is spread across social sites, but a group of items that were created with awareness of each other. Think of the internet’s beloved Grumpy Cat meme. Shifman would say that it’s not the cat itself, but the whole set of memes generated with its image, which is the meme.
Dude forgot the eye patch, and the devil horns, and the ear rings, and the nose rings
On the other hand, with memes evolving so much in the past years, in some cases, they become vehicles for political messages, often used to spread aggressive or racist messages and to incite hatred. Emiliano De Cristofaro, an associate professor from UCL, has recently carried out the largest scientific study of memes to date, using a dataset of 160m images from various social networks.
“We showed how 'fringe' web communities associated with the alt-right movement, such as 4chan’s 'Politically Incorrect' board (/pol/) and Reddit’s 'The_Donald' are generating a wide variety of racist, hateful, and politically charged memes—and, crucially, spreading them to other parts of the internet,” De Cristofaro explained.
Remember when you wished you were all grown up so you could be free to do anything you'd like?
What De Cristofaro’s team found was that fringe social networks like /pol/ and Gab “share hateful and racist memes at an impressive rate, producing countless variants of antisemitic and pro-nazi memes.” Moreover, “memes like Pepe the Frog (and its variants) are often used in conjunction with other memes to incite hate or influence public opinion on world events, such as Brexit or the advance of Islamic State,” he said.
Moreover, the team at UCL found that, alarmingly, /pol/ was by far the most influential disseminator of memes, in terms of the raw number of images originating there. “In particular, it was more influential in spreading racist and political memes,” De Cristofaro said.
Just like with any other content on the internet, so with memes, users have to be aware of what kind of content they engage in, share and react to. While having a laugh at relatable memes like these ones in the post can indeed make your day brighter, encountering hateful memes is a whole other thing that’d better be reported.
Ok who took a peek into my life and exposed it in this very pithy meme
Also your phone when your partner across the room says they want to buy something
As soon as you put in that piece you turn into a raging tax evading a$$hole that would rather burn money trying to fly real high than pay their employees a living wage.
And then it becomes breakdance, salsa, work, salsa, breakdance, NEXT SONG
Come on, anyone can look good with her resources, make-up artist, cosmetic surgery and wardrobe. Bernie is just a normal ass guy.
I guess all kids enjoy both, just choose the appropriate moment to do one or the other.
