Memes have been a popular means of expression in the digital age. While they are primarily a source of entertainment, these images that quickly go viral have also been effective tools to promote political agendas, for better or worse. 

Longtime Bored Panda readers, you know we’re more about the fun and laughter. You’re about to see content from the Zesty Supreme Facebook page, an online haven for 1.4 million people to relate with each other through humorous memes about the random aspects of life. 

We’ve compiled a list of posts about the struggles of getting up early for work, using a word processor, and the ridiculousness of some TV ads. You will likely relate to many of these, so enjoy scrolling through!

You’ve likely killed some valuable time scrolling through some of our meme articles. These images are instant sources of quick laughs when you need them. During the pandemic, experts saw them as a source of positive emotions. 

A 2021 study by a Penn State University research team found that memes boost good vibes, which helped people deal with COVID-related stress at the height of the pandemic.

Another 2021 study shared a similar finding, noting that memes were beneficial for people suffering from anxiety during the pandemic. These images often had a humorous take even on serious issues, adding some much-needed levity during a stressful time. 

The researchers described memes as a “therapeutic” and “beneficial coping mechanism” because of their relatability. 

“The use of humor itself may down-regulate negative and up-regulate positive emotions,” an excerpt from the study reads.

Since many people see them as a tool to find solace and humor, memes create a shared experience. Strangers online develop connections with each other. As pointed out by psychologist Dr. Mark Travers in an article for Forbes, they “foster a feeling of ‘I’m not alone in this.’”

Dr. Travers used the famous “distracted boyfriend” as an example of a relatable meme that depicts human relationship dynamics in a way that resonates with many. You’ll see it in the multitude of versions online.

In his article, Dr. Travers noted that memes are an effective way to express difficult emotions. He mentioned a 2020 study that revealed how people with depression find humor in memes that draw out their pain points and struggles. 

“The use of dark humor in memes helps individuals confront and share challenging topics in a less threatening way,” he wrote.

Dr. Travers concluded that memes can make a “surprising difference” to your day. However, he also mentioned an important caveat: memes aren’t to be solely relied on for connection and support. 

He noted that relatability and humor can “provide a momentary escape” to remind us that we “are part of a larger, supportive community.” This makes them a “timeless coping mechanism.”

Artists and media managers were non-essential? Then where did all of those COVID-19 informational commercials, PSAs, brochures, websites, posters, etc. come from?

Option two is they show gameplay in the ad that doesn't resemble anything like the actual game. Bonus points if the ad mentions how some games do that but not us

I think Spiders should go on top of Dark and then spiders in the Dark should go just below Dark!

I can think of about a hundred legitimately scarier things than most of the ones on that list... Other than death, the dark, and MAYBE being asked the final question, it's highly unlikely I will encounter sharks, clowns or serial killers in any real way. I nominate financial insecurity and unexpected healthcare expenses!

Surprised public speaking didn’t make the list. 75% of Americans list it as their number one fear. That means they’d rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy!

Clowns are scarier than the dark, but NOTHING is scarier than The Darkness, especially that singer.

Fake or not, at least the landlord knows rats can be pets! Though, uh, rats usually wouldn’t be in the bathroom unless you’re running a hot shower (rats NOT in the shower) for them so the steam helps with any respiratory issues.

Inland Revenue UK tax people sent me a rebate cheque. No idea why, wasn't expecting anything as had been on PAYE (pay as you earn) for years. Couple of weeks later another letter. Mistake we want our money back. Bunch of incompetents.

I know this is absolutely not what I am supposed to feel, but I see that picture, and think if I had my phone with books on it to read, and could close the door and fit in there, it seems like heaven.

This is exactly why I don't watch competition shows anymore. Everyone's life has trauma, I don't care about yours, just sing or dance or do whatever your talent is and get off the stage.
