Texas Woman Shares How Her Landlord Painted Over A Roach And The Internet Responds With These 30 Memes And Jokes
The internet is a wonderful place but also a very strange one. You don't really know when a photo, video, or post will go viral and you may not understand the reason when it does. For example, it is always a mystery how memes are born because they are often the most random things.
The most recent meme trend on Twitter was a cockroach that was painted over and was mummified in the apartment of Twitter user @chellzyeah. People went crazy and were reposting the tweet with funny captions or their own Photoshopped version of the photo. They were quite hilarious and in this list, you will find the best ones of the thread.

Talk about suffocation and no breathing, and cutting his life into pieces.
The tweet was posted by @chellzyeah and to give context to the photo, the person added a caption that read, “my landlord painted over a f*****g roach.” Since September 5 when it was tweeted, the photo has collected 360k likes.
What is more impressive than the amount of likes received is the reaction from Twitter users who let out their creativity and made the picture even more funny than it already is. Some of them just wrote funny comments, but others put a little more effort into it and actually made some edits to the roach.
Spaceballs! Or Bond, nobody does it better...

Load More Replies...For everyone else, it’s an absurdly funny picture, but to the poster, it actually means that there are cockroaches in her house which she recently moved into in the state of Texas, but at least people are having fun, no?
Even @chellzyeah admitted in a follow-up tweet that people really went all in: “really glad everyone is having so much fun with my mummified roommate.”
Suffocation No breathing Don't give a f**k if I cut my arm, bleeding
Load More Replies...But these kinds of situations really show that it’s hard to find a landlord that really cares about their tenant’s living conditions. Not only did this landlord paint over a cockroach, he didn’t care enough to not let them infest the house in the first place. Sadly, people don’t invest that much time or funds or effort into things they don’t need themselves.
It's an access cover where a chimney pipe would come through the wall. My sister has one
Of course it is. But “Paper plate stuck to my wall” SOUNDS funnier! 😉
Load More Replies...that's not a paper plate. it's a tin plate they used to cover and old fan or chimney hole.
Those usually covered access for a chimney or Exhaust for a cooking vent!
Lame, and incorrect, so it's quite a stupid comment. It's not a paper plate.

Bored Panda has an article about another wild landlord story which you can find by clicking here. In this article, the protagonist is a tenant who was asked to pay higher rent if she wanted to renew the contract, but she thought that she deserved better and refused. But before heading out, she deliberately moved things around the apartment to showcase what bad conditions she was living in so future tenants would know what they were getting into.
Aw man I just made the same comment without noticeing
Load More Replies...Oh dear heaven, I thought it was cockroach Khajuraho. I'll see myself out...
I just scrolled all the way back to see if there was a shoe in the original pic
Load More Replies...Nah, it's the football! Maybe we'll never know if it got that field goal....
It is really disgusting to think that this Twitter user has to live with a dead cockroach buried under the paint and possibly other roaches hiding in the corners of their home. However, people saw the bright side and it’s safe to say that they brightened @chellzyeah’s day.
What were your reactions to these memes? Don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you laugh the most and maybe if you came up with something that others didn’t think about when looking at the photo, it would be nice if you sounded it off in the comments!
When you think you look cool, but you actually look like an unappealing annoyance
Maybe I'm just weird, but I'd paint this on the wall and install one of those page magnification sheets in front of the roach.
Agreed. No latex paint on a roller is going to kill a roach, It's just resting.
There’s currently a roach that is like 3 inches long that is alive and hiding in my closet since last night and I still can’t find it and I had a panic attack about it 🥲
If it hadn't been for Cotton Eyed Joe, I'd have been married a long time ago
At least the people at pompei were killed by a volcano, not by one lazy douche
This Was a cockroach but that paint is Thick As A Brick and he just couldn't Stand Up. Poor roach, he was Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young To Die.
Sun streaking cold An old roach plastered lonely. Taking time The only way he knows.
Load More Replies...Yeah, why did they cast that kid as Goku, really??!!
Load More Replies...Lmao never thought a roach could be less than ugly(I'm not going so far as to say pretty lol) 10 gallons of paint also helped.
so bp isn't gonna censor the penis here, but they'll censor a woman's boobs on a classical painting lol okay.
Killz. It's a heavy duty primer that's meant to encapsulate things like mold and grease or oil.
All in all it's just a nother roach in the wall. WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION!
Funny but the cynic in me is wondering how many roaches do you see with their backs to the wall? Usually when you paint over something you just get a glob not all that detail.
Probably someone squished it with a shoe or book and it got stuck to the wall and then painted over by some lazy POS painter.
Load More Replies...Jokes and memes aside, ewwww! Why would you just paint over a roach?! 🤢
