Perhaps a few times a day, we have those magical moments where, almost wordlessly, we share an emotion or experience with someone. This might be through a moment of human understanding or simply something comical happening, but the internet has allowed us to connect and document these things like never before via hilarious memes about life.

The “HilariousTextx” Instagram page makes funny and relatable captions for images and experiences we all might find familiar. So get comfortable, scroll through, comment your thoughts, and be sure to upvote the most hilarious memes for adults here. 

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.

It was meant to be five seasons and done. Then they got renewed and had to scramble. I still think the episode with Death in Chicago is one of the best moments in episode TV

I'm just now finishing up binging 'Grimm' and I'm depressed that there aren't any more! I was a big fan when it was on TV. It was unique and very entertaining. I love the fantasy/sci fi genre!

When you find a show that has 1 season, 5 episodes, and 15 minutes per episode: *still the same size bag of Cheetos because we all know how long it’s gonna take me to watch those 5 episodes with my 2 second attention span*

Forensic Files on YouTube. Better than any police show. Easy to watch even if you seen it before.

I know a lot of binge worthy books, though not as many shows.😅 Heartland is what pops into my head at the moment and meets the season number and episode length requirement. It’s a show based in Canada on a large horse ranch and the main character is called the miracle girl because of her ability to successfully help any horse. It’s definitely not for everybody and takes a certain kind of person to enjoy it.

Sounds like a good k-drama but they're usually just one season long, but with many episodes

I toss my hat in the ring with "forever night" or as me and my wife like to call it "Canadian vampire cop" . It stars the guy who played sir author Conan doil in Murdock mysteries.

I'm currently doing Z Nation. I am up to season 3. I've been watching this for the past 5 days. Dishes are piling up, bed needs to be at least tidier, the vacuum is very idle, showers are super fast, food is optional, coffee runs to the kitchen is often.

Ok so approximately, if you didn't sleep at all and watched this fake series non stop, it would take 131 hours, which is about 5.45833 days. Please don't think I'm smart. I googled all of this info :D

I'm doing that now with Gilmore Girls. I couldn't find anything else I want to watch and I've never seen the show so I decided to go for it. Seven seasons and around 20 episodes per season!

That would be the Irish police drama Red Rock for me! I’m still mad sometimes that it was never really finished the way the cast and crew wanted it, even!

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.

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

A kid on my xc team used to have the following schedule: school from 8-3:30, xc practice from 4:30-6:30, work from 7pm-2am, get some sleep between 3am and 7am. Repeat. He functioned reasonably well, but still not healthy
