A good meme is bound to chase away the blues and pick up your mood somewhat. A great clean meme, on the other hand, is something you can’t help but share and help go even more viral than it already is.
That’s where the ‘Very Clean Funny Pics’ Facebook page comes in. A popular social media project, it does exactly what it says on the tin and shares family-friendly, wholesome, and clean memes that are actually funny. And we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t relate to a lot of them. We’ve collected the top pics to share with you, Pandas. So go on, take a break, scroll down, and forward the memes you loved the most to your friends. They might need a giggle or two in their lives.

Why Are Clean Memes So Popular?
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about funny clean memes, so we reached out to comedy writer and published author Ariane Sherine. She was kind enough to share her thoughts on making memes appealing, shed some light on why we love sharing memes so much, and explained what to do if digital creators feel like they're too focused on engagement rather than the actual content.
"Jokes that are universal and aren’t specific to one age group, gender, sexuality or race are likely to work best," Sherine shared her insights on how to appeal to the widest possible audience.
"Then again, you might want to attract a particular demographic and think it’s plenty large enough for your purposes. But for maximum viral potential, ensure the largest possible cross-section of the population will understand your meme—and that usually means making it family-friendly too," she explained.
This person memento'd themself in the funniest way possible. Legend!
Meanwhile, we were curious to get the comedy writer's take as to why so many of us get the urge to share these funny clean memes with our friends and social circle.
"Memes usually make us laugh and give us a ‘wow’ moment of universal human truth. This makes us feel good—so naturally, we want to share the memes with our friends so they can experience the same feelings," Sherine told Bored Panda.
Some digital creators might become far too focused on the (lack of) engagement their content gets rather than the content of these very clean, funny pics themselves. We were interested to get the comedy writer's thoughts on this.
"I think when you’re getting downhearted from a lack of views, comments, likes, shares and general virality, it’s time to refocus on the joy of creating content and remember why you decided to make it in the first place," the writer said.
"Sure, it’s great if other people like it too—but that should be a happy byproduct and not the end goal," Sherine stressed the fact that passion is a key factor here.
I tried to convince the St. Paul Children's Museum to open late for grown ups only so we could play and not be in the way of the kids.

A duck laid eggs at my work so I named them Gladys Flight and the Chicks
Unlike this person, last time there was an unexpected animal on my driveway, it WAS a giant lizard. A monitor lizard not a komodo dragon, but there's a lot of resemblance. I still have no idea how it got there. The damn thing was at least two meters long.
Reminds me of the time we did beef ribs. Asked the neighbor if Duke ( his german shephard) could have the bones. He agreed, I dropped the plate of bones over the 4 foot high fence...dilemma...how to get the plate? 2" gap under fence..."Duke (pointing at plate), gimme the plate". He knocks the bones off and pushed the plate under the fence with his nose. I picked up the plate and threw in the trash. Had about 5 people over, they freaked TF out. I did too, but played like it was normal.
My chickies do the same! They come running at me and jump like excited puppies when I shake their treat bag and they know their names and respond when I talk to them individually.
Haha - my cat is also called kylo ren but managed to shorten it through laziness to kylo, or just exclaiming cat at him
That's exactly what I was thinking....this person just nonchalantly mentions this chickens name and I'm like I need to know more about this chicken and are there more
Speaking of chickens as we were (in Australia we call them chooks). when she lived in Perth, Western Australia, my grand daughter had a local reputation as "the chook whisperer". She would lay the chook upside down on its back, place it gently on her skateboard and send it down the long slightly-inclined driveway next to the house. Either the chook loved it, or it was paralysed by fear of fallling off. Fact is, when you lie a chook on its back, it becomes completely immobile. Aren't you glad I have shared this with you? Incidentally, The chook's name was Pearly Sweetcakes, a special family fun name we all had for my late wife.
Hahahaa! This is like Nate, on Narrowway Homestead YouTube shorts and he trained the ducks that roam in his flock, to come to the dinner bell, like on farms! It is the funniest thing! Even his dog comes running!
should have insinuated that you were a Disney Princess in your spare time.
An ex of mine had pet chickens. I named many of them. One I named Intelligente because she knew her name and did come when called and it wasn't because of food. She was one of many that liked to be pet. Soooooo cute! Also, 2 of the roosters, Mr. Handsome & Mr. Stud knew their names too. They would look at you when you said their name.
We had a half dozen hens when I was little, and we absolutely trained them to come when called 😂
Farm life is always interesting. Our farm was a separate piece of property about a mile down the road. We had our goats and horses out there. One day I go out and I'm missing a mama goat. Freaking great. I think the worst, that coyotes got her. The next day, I'm pulling into my driveway and this lady pulls in behind me and calls from her truck window, "hey, are you missing a goat?" I'm like, "yeah! I'm missing a goat!" I walk over, and there's my goat, in the backseat with the kids. Just as happy as can be. Lady says, "she was just running down the road, so we got her and took her home. The kids love her and she's been sleeping in the house and everything." Yeah, I couldn't believe they were keeping the goat inside either. So I see the kids all hugged up to the goat and I go, "you just want to keep her?" She said, "Really? We'd love to!" So I gave the goat to them.
Meet the Very Clean Funny Pics Facebook Page
The ‘Very Clean Funny Pics’ page has a following of 277k Facebook users on the social media platform. The page itself has been up and running for over a decade, having been founded all the way back in 2012. The team behind the project has consistently shared relatable, clean memes that are actually funny. And that’s the secret behind the page’s continued success throughout the years.
The entire purpose of the page is to post very clean funny pics. All that the moderators ask from the followers is to keep the comments as clean as the memes themselves.
The team behind the page takes their moderating jobs very seriously. There’s a zero-tolerance approach to offensive or hurtful comments, as well as spam, swear words and links to other pages. “We want this page and its comments to be suitable for all audiences,” they explain that they want to create a family-friendly, all-inclusive atmosphere.
However, some clean memes may still gently poke fun at certain topics, but it’s all done in the name of lighthearted humor.
Be careful voters! I'm pretty sure this how the Death Star originally got approval. 🤔

Can There Ever Be Too Much Memes?
Memes can be very powerful. They can temporarily distract us from our problems when the going gets tough. They provide an outlet for laughter, as well as an excuse to spam your friends with very clean funny pics—they help us connect to others. However, as Sudipti Kumar notes in her article on LinkedIn, it’s important to keep an eye on how much time we spend looking at memes. “Excessive meme-viewing,” as she puts it, could be a sign of phone addiction.
Alternatively, spending far too much time enjoying funny clean memes can be a sign that someone’s procrastinating. So memes can be a way of avoiding work, studying, or solving all of those pesky real-life problems that just won’t go away. In moderation, memes are great. But, like with anything, too much of a good thing can backfire. If all you ever do is sit on social media (even if you’re enjoying the lovely memes in this list), it’s not a healthy way to go through life.

When you go all spiritual and then realise that the lady probably only does the shop for money and doesn't care about actual spirits
Creating clean memes that stand the test of time is no easy feat. The more you think about it, the more you realize how many hoops a single pic has to jump through to go viral. For instance, ‘Simplified’ notes that the most successful memes will make the audience feel a sense of social validation and like they’re part of a collective.
When I was a kid I actually DID do an experiment on moldy bread (the question I picked was "how much salt is required to stop it going moldy"). I won a prize and one of the judges sincerely thanked me for bringing pictures of the moldy bread and not the bread itself. In fact I had already tossed it into the chicken pen.
Some other things that make these very clean funny pics stand out from the crowd on social media require a bit of patience on the creator’s part. Sure, you can fire off a bunch of memes and see what sticks, but if you want to have a decent following, you want to post higher-quality memes than your competition. And the first step toward that is figuring out what kind of niche you’re aiming for.
This is an old post and I think the company actually paid them for this poster later.
You could, for instance, go for the broadest audience imaginable. If you’re posting family-friendly, clean memes that are actually funny, the odds are that you’ll appeal to a very wide social media user base. On the flip side, if you’re narrowing down your focus and lasering in on particular topics or spicier humor, you’re giving up some segments of your potential audience for the sake of others.
The important thing here is that you personally enjoy the clean memes you’re sharing and crafting. Otherwise, if you’re just doing it for the likes, views, and clicks, you’ll end up being burned out. This is because if you want any chance of gaining long-term popularity, you have to be consistent in how you post. Whether that’s a few times a day, once every couple of days, or once a week. Your passion for the memes you share has to shine through.
The most successful funny clean memes will always be relatable to the viewer. That’s what helps them go viral. If they’re too obscure or confusing, your audience might not vibe with the image as much as you hoped. Similarly, if they’re too generic and bland, they might not get much time in the spotlight either. Essentially, you want something that’s entertaining and relatable, but surprising.
You might also want to consider making your very funny clean pics as universal as possible. Sure, you can make the pics comment on current events, but then you’re running the risk that once the event is forgotten, the joke will have lost its context. On the other hand, commenting on common human experiences, adding in a big dollop of humor, and picking the best possible images is going to be a powerful concoction.
Oh my goodness. This made me laugh. I remember when my kids were babies and I would do something silly and they would laugh with their whole little bodies.
Interestingly, if you video yourself running at your absolute fastest on a treadmill, and then watch that video while running but speed it up slightly, you’ll probably be able to go even faster, keeping up with the you on-screen. This is probably similar, it’s fascinating how that works.
You have great faith in your children not to burn the whole house down in the meantime!

This was just so feel good! Honestly one of my favorite BP posts ever.
Thank you so much BP. I really, really needed something positive right now.
As a toker, it nearly killed me to click the green arrow as it was on 420, but this needs as many up arrows as it can get! I had to wade through FAR too many AITA type posts to get here.
Thanks for this ....it's old but it helped me smile and I haven't smiled in a bit been dealing with a lot
I hope things get better for you, Francine. Be kind to yourself if you can.
