20+ Dry Skin Memes for People Sick of Being Flaky https://cheezburger.com/22633989/20-dry-skin-memes-for-people-sick-of-being-flaky I really try not to prefer any one season above the others. In my eyes, they all have their benefits, as well as the opportunity to dust off a whole other section of my wardrobe for a couple of months. However, I can't help but have it out for fall and winter for one reason, and one reason alone: the big old sack that tapes my body together starts drying up the moment the thermometer drops. It's not that I don't moisturize, or exfoliate, or not drink enough fluids. I'm mostly faithful to these routines, and still the dreaded flakiness curses me every year. At least there are memes out there that understand my pain. They can do what countless bottles of lotion cannot, which is inject some humor into the situation. If only they helped with the skincare side of things, too. I'm still holding out for that miracle product. | | Saturday, October 14th, 2023 | | 7:00 pm |
30 Memes That Pitch in for Your Entertainment https://cheezburger.com/22630149/30-memes-that-pitch-in-for-your-entertainment Just like any form of art, memes are a two way effort. We've got to have those that create them and those that consume them in some kind of equilibrium that keeps everybody happy (or riled up enough that they will keep on creating and consuming). In particular, memes would be nothing without their audience. They are usually the ones adding to them in interesting ways, after all. Long story short, we're all in this together when it comes to the memeing process. It relies on every single part being in good working order. As a person reading this, your role right now is to simply let the work of countless others wash over you. It may seem like an easy task, but it's almost as vital as those who are consistently putting their thoughts into meme form. They need witnesses to reach the truest, most respected level of sh*tpost greatness. | | 5:00 pm |
20+ Workout Memes for Devoted Gym Rats (October 14, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22626821/20-workout-memes-for-devoted-gym-rats-october-14-2023 Psyching yourself up to exercise is kind of like psyching yourself up to get in the shower. It can take an unbelievable amount of time and effort, but you're glad you managed to convince yourself once you're doing it. At least, that's what it's like for all us lazy, normal people. When you're a certified gym bro, every push is worth it for the gains. In fact, going to the gym is almost like a treat. Those endorphins are very powerful if you experience them often enough, and they carry on to every aspect outside of your life when you're a devotee. It only takes one conversation with an exercise obsessive to realize. Not everybody responds well to constant conversations about gains, so it's important to have some other outlets. Memes are a natural response to this conundrum, and they're an amusing one, too. Let them fuel the next session. | | 4:00 pm |
'Praise the positive:' Internet pleasantly surprised with airline's unusual empathetic dealing with https://cheezburger.com/22625541/praise-the-positive-internet-pleasantly-surprised-with-airlines-unusual-empathetic-dealing-with-a Usually, the internet, and Reddit especially, is reserved for letting out a little steam. You go there to rant about an annoying situation you encountered or diss a person who really miffed you off. But sometimes, every now and then, someone decide to share a little light in the darkness of the internet and every time everyone is always pleasantly surprised. This time it was about an experience with Southwest Airlines. Usually, the internet is filled with writes ups after write ups of people having the absolute worst time with an airline. They lose your luggage and don't care, they make you miss a flight and you get charged more, etc. etc. However, this time a guy came to the internet because he was so shocked at how pleasant his experience was after he messed up, he just had to share. It was your basic situation where you have a very early flight and sleep past your alarm. This guy's flight was at 5AM and slept past his alarm and missed his flight by several hours. He called Southwest Airlines in a panic, fully expecting to have to put up a fight to get any sort of help. But instead, his issue was dealt with empathy and the customer service representative totally hooked him up. And to make things even more surprising, the representative that helped him was named Karen! Would ya look at that?? That's something you don't read about every day on the internet. So this Karen helped him out and he got his missed flight fully refunded in SW credits and figured out a way to still get to his destination that same day. It's refreshing to read about a positive situation, especially when it's a positive about a huge corporation and a person named Karen! | | 3:00 pm |
25 People Share Childhood Fibs That They Believed into Adulthood https://cheezburger.com/22625029/25-people-share-childhood-fibs-that-they-believed-into-adulthood We've all heard some little fibs growing up, you know, like Santa, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and such. But have you ever been taken in by a whopper of a lie that you clung to even in your grown-up years? Well, someone on Reddit decided to investigate, and the responses are a riot! The thread got bombarded with stories about these bizarre childhood legends that practically everyone seemed to buy into. Take, for instance, the classic idea that you could dig a hole to China. Remember that one? Or how about the myth that if you touched a baby animal, its mama would disown it? Turns out that's just some made-up stuff. Who'd have thought? One Reddit user, aged 31, said this thread just blew his mind. The stories are not only captivating but also downright hilarious. So, keep on scrolling and enjoy what these 25 Redditors shared about their wild childhood beliefs. | | 2:00 pm |
Woman Claims Couple's Toxic Relationship is Caused By 7 Year Age Gap, Ignores Girlfriend's Glaring A https://cheezburger.com/22626053/woman-claims-couples-toxic-relationship-is-caused-by-7-year-age-gap-ignores-girlfriends-glaring Age gap relationship discourse will never die. I'm convinced that we will be sitting in the nursing home someday, debating whether it's a power imbalance for an 89-year-old and an 81-year-old to be with each other. For the record, it absolutely is, and any couple who is that age should be ashamed of themselves, especially the elder elder. I'm joking around, of course. I think once you've reached a certain age, the vast majority of age gaps can be worked through, especially when there are less than ten years between the pair. I understand why a 25-year-old dating a 35-year-old might not work out because of their ages, but there are also a million other reasons why a relationship might crumble that have nothing to do with the number of years they've spent on this earth. For instance, the couple that's the subject of recent Twitter discourse has been labeled a toxic age-gap relationship, but when you read their story, it's clear that something far more harmful is at play. | | 1:00 pm |
Weird Memes That Are Weird https://cheezburger.com/22623493/weird-memes-that-are-weird I feel like weirdness has been greatly destigmatized in society over the past 20 years. Either that, or we've broadened the definition of what it means to be weird so widely that the term has been rendered meaningless. My money's on the latter because people will really come for you if you branch out beyond the socially acceptable version of being a weirdo. For instance, my favorite movie is Swiss Army Man, and so many people treat me like I'm a freak for it. I know that a sweet story about a suicidal man and his best friend who happens to be a farting corpse isn't everybody's cup of tea. It's a very weird movie, and I'm proud to like it, even if it gets me incel allegations from college acquaintances on Letterboxd. We all have normal weird qualities and major freakazoid qualities, and if you're willing to embrace both of those sides of yourself, you will enjoy these weird memes. | | 12:00 pm |
Company Cancels Job Interview Mid-Interview Because of Sudden 'Hiring Freeze,' Asks Interviewee to d https://cheezburger.com/22624517/company-cancels-job-interview-mid-interview-because-of-sudden-hiring-freeze-asks-interviewee-to-do Anybody who has been on the job hunt knows how much work you have to put into it. You have to tailor your resume to each specific company, write cover letters and personal statements, and do it quickly so you're one of the first names they see on their big pile of resumes. You do all of that just in the hope that you might be able to interview for said position. Once you get the interview, then it's time to really put the pedal to the medal and learn about the company. You need to prepare answers for the classic interview questions, come up with questions you're going to ask when the hiring manager says, "do you have any questions for me," and you need to research so you know the company's silly little mission statement. Even if the interview doesn't go perfectly, you at least learn from going through the process. One hopeful applicant spent hours preparing for a job interview just to have the rug pulled out from under her, and you need to read it to believe it. | | 11:00 am |

31 Introvert Memes for Grateful Loners Happy to Stay in Their Lane (October 14, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22623749/31-introvert-memes-for-grateful-loners-happy-to-stay-in-their-lane-october-14-2023 Another week gone by means we have another weekend upon us. Most people revel in the charms of the weekend with parties, restaurants, and other social tomfoolery, while us introverts prepare for a wild weekend of our favorite shows, closed blinds, mood lighting, and a second helping of take-out. Life is good out here for the introverted crowd. Extroverts seem to think that the only way to have fun is by blabbering with other human folks, but introverts are wiser than that. We introverted people know that being antisocial is the best way to have fun, because the fun is sourced, monitored, and enjoyed by ourselves. When your bestie looks back at you when you're lookin' in the mirror, it means you're perfectly stable on your own and have more fun solo than you do with gaggles and crowds. So enjoy the weekend and enjoy your 'you time' you've earned it! | | 8:00 am |
25 Halloween Memes for Spooky Season Enjoyers (October 14, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22621445/25-halloween-memes-for-spooky-season-enjoyers-october-14-2023 My theory as to why so many Halloween is such a beloved holiday for so many adults is because it allows us to redirect all of our fear. Most of the year, we're kept awake at night by the terror of boring reality. When October rolls around, though, we have the freedom to freak ourselves out with ghost stories and haunted houses instead. I know it sounds kind of depressing, but there are whole subgenres of spooky memes that touch on this! I don't think it's out of the question. Anyway, we're not here to feel sad. Quite the opposite, we want to enjoy some innocent escapism in the form of Halloween memes. Without further ado, here's another helping of seasonal humor for you to enjoy. It's sure to boost the mood of any spooky season fan. They aren't as scary as rent being overdue, but they are way more entertaining. | | 9:00 am |
The Best Animal Memes of the Week (October 14, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22616581/the-best-animal-memes-of-the-week-october-14-2023 If I had to bet on one type of meme lasting until the end of time, I'd put my money on animal memes. Of course, the trends in animal memes have changed over the past 15 years, but they have remained an essential fixture of the meme world even in 2023. Even if you have a pet of your own to amuse you, animal memes provide comfort and laughs. I am going to be honest with y'all&dog and cat memes aren't really my thing. I know that can be sacrilegious on a list of animal memes, but hear me out! I would rather look at a meme of a weird animal like a frog or a fish than an animal that I see on the street every day. Dogs are cool, but they're nothing novel. These animal memes cover all the freaky animals, and that's why they're Emmy Ward-approved. | | 7:00 am |
25+ Memes To Manage The Monotony https://cheezburger.com/22615301/25-memes-to-manage-the-monotony On the subject of monotony, Judy Garland said it best; "Playing on his slide trombone in a certain monotone
He was known as Mister Monotony
Any pleasant interlude that would mean a change of mood
Didn't go with Mister Monotony
Sometimes he would change the key, but the same dull melody
Would emerge from Mister Monotony
Folks for miles would run away only one prefer'd to stay
She would come around and say,
"Have you got any monotony today?"
Most of us don't want to be the girl who runs away with the titular monotony man. Unfortunately, that's exactly what a lot of us do. Our lives don't have much variety, and we fall into the same boring routines every week. But lucky for us, it doesn't have to be this way. We can do little things throughout the day to break up said monotony! For example, we can scroll through hilarious memes to lighten our spirits. Maybe, you could even do that now! | | Friday, October 13th, 2023 | | 7:00 pm |
A Smidgen of Memes for Added Color https://cheezburger.com/22616325/a-smidgen-of-memes-for-added-color In 2020, a study claimed to show that the world was becoming less colorful. Examining thousands of photos of everyday objects across time, it concluded that a significantly higher proportion of manmade objects are more likely to be in a shade of gray than any other color. Anecdotally speaking, I feel like I'm living through a time that's less colorful than my youth. Perhaps that's part of the reason that I'm obsessed with memes: I'm a color-seeking person, and they provide plenty of it. For those of us who drive neutral-toned cars, live in beige homes, and work monochromatic office jobs, they provide a sight for sore eyes. We're all just like big babies being plopped in front of some neuron-developing primary colored toys for the first time. Maybe it's not so great that many of us do this for several hours a day, but we can ignore that part. | | 5:00 pm |
Old School Spiderman Memes For Boomers Whose Meme Taste Hasn't Evolved Since 2009 https://cheezburger.com/22621701/old-school-spiderman-memes-for-boomers-whose-meme-taste-hasnt-evolved-since-2009 Here at Memebase, we try to stay on top of the hottest online trends. We will report Twitter discourse live on the scene, and we will tell y'all about the newest TikTok trend before it makes its way over to Instagram reels. However, we are painfully aware that this type of topical reporting is not what many of you guys want from us. We know that there is a large group of Memebase users who just want memes: nothing more, nothing less. More than that, some of y'all want memes that are so old, I was in Elementary school when they were made. Again, I completely understand this nostalgic desire for the simplicity that image macros can bring. I hope those of you who are in that group understand that we can't do that all the time, but we are willing to cave to your desires with these ancient Spider-Man memes just this once. Enjoy them while they last. | | 4:00 pm |
20 Freshly Baked Cake Memes That Offer a Sweet Treat https://cheezburger.com/22601989/20-freshly-baked-cake-memes-that-offer-a-sweet-treat Bread and cake are not so different from one another in terms of being a kind of stodgy, flour-based carbohydrate, yet one is a daily staple and the other supposedly reserved for special occasions. The main thing that separates them is the sugar content, and a couple of animal products. Why shouldn't we make a habit of eating cake every day (provided we can tolerate the gluten)? OK, so it's often more expensive and calorific, but that doesn't really matter for somebody with a terminal case of Treat Brain. If we're being honest, this type of person is just about anybody who consumes a lot of memes. As such, memes and cakes make the perfect pairing. Even if you don't have a sweet baked good by your side right now, you can attempt to satiate any cravings with the images below. We make no promises for your success in this endeavor. | | 3:00 pm |
People Share 'Old People' Things They Hated as Children, But Love as Adults https://cheezburger.com/22622213/people-share-old-people-things-they-hated-as-children-but-love-as-adults As I've grown up, many things I hated as a child get put into perspective. For instance, when I was a kid, I hated when adults would fight over the bill at a restaurant. I wished that one of the families would accept the generous offer and try to cover the bill next time. Now that I'm an adult, I appreciate the drama and conflama of endlessly fighting over putting your credit card down. It's not really about who pays; it's about how much of a compelling performance you can do to convince the other family that you will pay. Nobody really wants to foot a $200 dinner bill, but if you convince the others you're eating with that you want to, you might save your $200. Redditors recently came together to share things they hated as kids but came to love once they became the older people they resented. I can't help but agree with a great deal of their answers. | | 2:00 pm |
20+ Witchy Memes for Spell Casters Who Know Their Sage From Their Palo Santo https://cheezburger.com/22624773/20-witchy-memes-for-spell-casters-who-know-their-sage-from-their-palo-santo At this time of year, it seems like every other person is all about that mystical side of life (or the spookier aspects of it, anyway). However, to paraphrase a recently popularized meme, these fake witches don't know what to do when a real one comes at them. From the families that have passed down spiritual secrets from generation to generation to those dubious characters who sell love spells on Etsy, there are a surprising amount of individuals who have witchy inclinations. Most of them don't hesitate to share the magic, either. This is especially true when it comes to memes, which are as plentiful as they are amusing. Whether you're a witchcraft veteran or you're only just familiarizing yourself with the tarot cards, these memes are sure to pack a punch on this solar eclipse. There's also no rule that says you can't enjoy them during other moon phases. | | 1:00 pm |
35 Amusing Tweets From Twitter Users Who Don't Want to Call it X (October 13, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22622469/35-amusing-tweets-from-twitter-users-who-dont-want-to-call-it-x-october-13-2023 One of the main things that separates people from the rest of the animal kingdom is the complexity of our communication and language. I'd argue that it's one of the few things about being human that we've truly taken full advantage of, and nowhere on the internet shows that off better than Twitter. Sure, we could point to the countless works of classic literature that we have managed to produce, or even wax lyrical about some of the most famous speeches. When it comes down to it, though, the greatest sh*tposters of our generation have said just as much in 140 characters as a famous author has in tens of thousands of words. The heyday of Twitter may be slowly fading into the past, but its continues to pump out some mighty distracting online entertainment. We'll keep on documenting it until Elon delivers that fatal blow. It passes the time like nobody's business. | | 12:00 pm |
25+ Hilarious Marvel Memes for Superhero Fiends (October 13, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22609669/25-hilarious-marvel-memes-for-superhero-fiends-october-13-2023 Loki is the best (and most ridiculous) Marvel character and no one can convince me otherwise. He's died three timesmore than any other character in the MCU, he's literally a god and yet still struggles with self-esteem issues and fear of rejection (he's just like us, for real), and he's a shapeshifter. There is no alligator Spider-Man, or alligator Thor. The fact that alligator Loki exists should be proof enough that Loki is the best of the MCU. Of course, the inspiration for Loki's character didn't come out of nowhere. In norse mythology, Loki was represented as a cunning trickster who had the ability to change his shape and was an outcast among the other gods, often showing up to parties uninvited and drinking all the booze. Okay, maybe Loki isn't necessarily the best character in the MCU, but define 'best'. He's certainly the most fun.
Whether your favorite character is Loki, or Thor, or that carrot-headed alien from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, we've got a fresh batch of marvelous Marvel memes for every Avengers fan out there. |
