Is a Sense of Humor Really an Essential Part of Life?
There is nothing like humor to lighten the mood, keep someone entertained, or just make yourself look interesting. While the traditional things one looks for in a partner are attractiveness and the ability to provide, studies show that both men and women report that humor is a vital characteristic when looking for a potential partner. 90% of men and 81% of women in one piece of research rated it as attractive and something they actively seek out.
While the statistics would show that men value humor more than women, men still value physical attractiveness even more, while women are willing to compromise on attractiveness if the potential partner is funny. Self-deprecating humor, which often does fall into the “painfully relatable” category, is often considered particularly attractive, as it conveys the person's self-confidence in that they can actually laugh at themselves. A liking for hilarious memes about life also helps!
Of course, “attractiveness” is just how we measure things we like in other people. Humor and hilarity aren’t fun because they make us attractive to potential mates; they are just enjoyable human experiences in general. It’s also a great shortcut to bonding, as humor relies on shared experience or understanding, so if two people find the same thing funny, like these hilarious memes for adults about life, it’s a marker that they might get along. Not just romantically but as friends, coworkers, or even just neighbors.
Besides entertainment, humor does have a host of other psychological benefits. First and foremost, feeling good is good for you, surprise, surprise. But research shows that positive humor, as in the ability to be funny and find things funny is connected to better health outcomes. It might not offset a Big Mac, but a few hilarious memes about life a day could keep the doctor at bay, for a bit at least.

This was me, my brother & his wife when we discovered Murdoch Mysteries!!! We watched 15 seasons in 3 months! It's a Canadian series that is essentially a modern day police drama but it is set in the late 1800s thru early 1900s. It is an EXTREMELY self-aware show that KNOWS it is ridiculous in many of its plots and exploits it to make it even more ridiculously enjoyable. It is a wholesome drama/comedy/cop show/soap opera. It takes a certain personality to "get it" and enjoy it.

Omg yes. My one coworker, who likes to tell new hires and customers that she's the manager. Meanwhile the manager is rolling her eyes so hard she's giving herself a migraine.

Calculating minutes until I HAVE to get up makes my brain feel alive
However, not all humor is created equal, and maladaptive humor does not necessarily help a person with their health. Self-deprecating humor is good, but some people take it so far that they start to believe all the negative things they say about themselves. Similarly, aggressive humor that attacks others or has a lot of negative energy tends to not really make anyone feel better.
So, just being relatable isn’t enough; we can relate to pain and sadness, depression and loss just as easily as anything else. Even if a person is making a self-deprecating joke, it’s pretty easy to reflect those same negative feelings on one's self. So perhaps reconsider when you make the same “I’m a lazy slob” joke for the ninth time today; it’s definitely no longer funny, so choose one of these hilarious memes for adults instead.
Certain aspects of life do end up with more joking and humor, however. The workplace is a classic example of this, as work jokes are a way to relieve stress. Similarly, the workplace involves a number of shared experiences among a group of people, so it’s a lot easier to set up jokes with an audience that understands you.
While work is the most common venue for hilarious memes about life one can find examples in most areas of life, public transportation, traffic, pet ownership, and ordering a coffee, just to name a few. All of these involve some similar difficulties, experiences, and moments that a clever or funny person can exploit to garner a few laughs. They also are good topics for small-talk humor, unlike politics or religion.

I used to tell my little sister we were princesses in disguise. Even fabricated a princess certificate burning all the edges of a sheet of paper to make it look old.

This is adorable! My mom uses to tell my sister that she was purchased from a pig farm and her name used to be Suey Pigoletto but our parents changed it to Jamie. I'd then try to undo the damage by telling her that no, she wasn't actually a pig, I went to our grandmother's house for a sleepover when Mommy was in the hospital delivering her, and whatever else a five year old can think of to soothe a toddler. I like your idea so much better! ❤

I told my sister her entire childhood that she was once a twin but her other half pissed me off so I buried her under the huge rock in our front yard.

We found mine at the zoo and I never miss the opportunity to tell them that we'll take them back if they act up.

Middle child here. Was found in a dumpster and the raccoons want me back. I was fairly convinced I was adopted too because I looked nothing like my parents or siblings. Genetics are very interesting especially when you see me with my two siblings; sister looks like my dad, brother looks like both and I'm just such an amalgamated mix I don't look like anyone. Hair colors, skin tones and eye colors are all different too so we barely look related

I was sent from heaven as a prank on my father. Him to my Mother: Don't ever expect to have a girl. There hasn't been a girl born in our family for over 50 years. We'll only have boys. God: heh heh heh watch this.

We told my baby brother he was adopted. Someone threw him out so our mother adopted him because she felt sorry for him.

Lol my brother pushed me off a cliff into a lake, shot me with a pellet gun, and nearly chopped one of my toes clean off, but he always claimed me! 😁 (ps, those were all crazy-a*s accidents. We were little hooligans when we were kids)

I used to tell my younger siblings they had been on sale at Aldi. (My grandfather had this pensioner's obsession to check out the latest Aldi products on sale practically on a daily basis.)

My middle sister looked completely different in our family because she had blond hair and grey eyes so I told her and my parents the hospital called to say she was switched at the hospital. I even had my mom almost close to believing until I start laughing my a*s off.

Do older siblings normally do this? If I said this to my younger siblings I would get in serious trouble, and also it doesn’t even make sense that you would say that anyway
From this perspective, humor is also a tool, as it humanizes us. A manager might throw in a few hilarious memes for adults now and then to show that they are still in touch. We are more likely to remember something if there is a punch-line attached to it, which clever markers will exploit. The cost of your laughter is a few moments of attention and memory.

Being a potato is complicated, too. You either get killed and eaten, or have the life drained out of you caring for five babies at once.
On the flip side, laughter and humor help with endorphins, which make us more creative. Incidentally, this is why you often have good ideas in the shower, the pleasure of hot water literally makes your brain work a bit better. But electricity bills being what they are, some hilarious memes for adults about life might be the cheaper solution.

Based on a true story means there are people with that names that might have had something similar but not quite and that this is what a friend of a friend’s hairdresser told them.
So if there is any takeaway, it’s a lot easier to be relatable than outright funny, but once you understand what things and experiences people tend to share, it will by proxy be easier to be funny at the same time. Just remember, laughing with someone at these memes from HilariousTextx tends to bring both pirates benefits while laughing at someone is more hit or miss.

Getting dressed is simply too much work sometimes. Towels are soft, simple, and it gives you some time to enjoy being clean before soiling yourself being productive
