50 Hilariously Relatable Memes Shared On The ‘Sarcasm Only’ Instagram Account (New Pics)
It seems that comedy runs in the veins of netizens. Not sure if it’s the anonymity of the online world, or the power of the internet to draw in trolls, clowns, casual humorists and professional comedians. But it truly does create a hilarious virtual space for everyone to enjoy.
One such space to enjoy is the sarcasm.og Instagram page, which shares memes and jokes of divergent caliber. It’s not necessarily all sarcasm per se, but it’s definitely all relatable and spot-on.

Sarcasm is a form of expression that’s meant to mock someone or something in humorously subtle ways. It can have an element of ambivalence, but it doesn’t have to be ironic.
While it can translate into written form, sarcasm is usually used and easiest to identify in spoken language because of the way it’s being said—with an inflection, sudden or quick change in tone to emphasize something ridiculous.
I diversify. Some of my money is in the bank, some at my local supermarket, some at the garage, some at the Tax Office, some with insurance companies...
Besides it being a literary method of expressing comedy or pointing out the painful reality of something, sarcasm is suggested to also be a source of fostering creativity.
Research suggests that the use of sarcasm—either giving or receiving—if done right, might spark creativity among individuals because of the sheer brain power needed to process the statements and the underlying undertones.
Those fart clouds usually are made of Linux servers after all...
The logic behind creativity in sarcasm is that the brain is forced to think in unorthodox ways to understand or convey sarcasm-laden comments.
The brain has to work a bit of overtime to understand where the literal ends and the actual begins. It’s a process that triggers abstraction, in turn enabling creative thinking to happen at all.
If you need an example, this listicle has ample fodder for that. Speaking of which, so does this Instagram page. This particular one was created back in 2017 and features all sorts of comedic memes, not necessarily sarcastic ones. It currently clocks in at just 105 posts shy of 12,000 and boasts a community of 1.2 million followers.
"Well, son, you're old enough now for us to tell you, you are adopted. Pack your bags, your new parents will be here shortly"
And mask wearing before it was cool. I have to make an effort to not think of the small creepy crawlies everywhere so I don't turn into a less interesting version of Adrian Monk.
I could barely eat, or do anything after my college biology courses. they are devastating.. MY WHOLE BODY is filled with microscopic worms and freaking bugs!!!! GET OUT!!!!
I"ll never EVER forget when the professor told us that you are NEVER more than 3 feet from a spider.

yes lol my bio teacher is extra careful all the time and cannot stand touching doorknobs etc.
My non microbiology friends banned me from sitting with them during meals I had to learn not to say anything it grossed out the art students too much.
But hey, all of you afraid of bacteria. You will be death if you don't have bacteria in your body or in your inside . Microbiota defensa you against bad pathogens and are necessary just to be alive. It's called simbiontic relationship or the hell is called in English. ;)
meanwhile other business is smart and use it for advertising like intelligent folks.
This is not to be confused with another Instagram page of a very similar name—sarcasm_us—and literally the same picture, which is an artistic rendition of Chandler Bing. That has nearly 3 times fewer posts, but over 10 million followers. This one was set up in 2016 and its Facebook counterpart was created in late 2015, all managed by Digihood Media.
60 year old me after losing all my goods, health and sanity. Gott sei dank. I wasn't looking forward to the effort of getting rid of it all.
Anywho, back to sarcasm. Turns out, if you can detect sarcasm, that shows that your brain is in a comparatively good standing health-wise. A lack of ability to pick up on sarcasm might be indicative of certain brain problems, like dementia. MRI research suggests that the part of the brain that deals with your sarcasm dosage is the same that deals with memory, so keep an eye on that.

Other reasons sarcasm is awesome include helping with social selection and adding authenticity to your feelings of affection. Not only does sarcasm filter out all the losers who just don’t get your sense of humor—people you probably wouldn’t want to be around anyway—but sprinkling some dichotomic humor about how hate is love might sound more genuine than it would if you, a sarcastic boi or gurl, said it more directly.
Mentally chanting, please don't talk to me, please don't try to befriend me, please leave me alone
Another interesting turn of events is the idea that sarcasm, while potentially negative in nature, has the power to de-escalate conflicts. Folks who know us will not react in the same violent way as strangers would. By proxy, folks who know us will more likely crack up at hearing us blurt out something that’s “typical” from us, yet they still didn’t expect it.
That is one way to let someone know that you know they broke any promise of privacy.
And speaking of conflict resolution, there’s the idea that sarcasm might have been a key part in our survival as a species. It actually pertains to the same idea that sarcasm is a certain kind of filter for friendships. It allows us to filter out friends from foes, but also, just the idea of having zero sarcastic sense and stopping to ponder someone’s sarcastic remark about being chased by a lion whilst being chased by a lion would quickly lead to a Darwin award.
»I'm single because my name is Zach Galfianakis and when the rumors are true, I'm privately beyond worse than any other douchebag on this planet.«
So, if you’ve enjoyed this bit of sarcasm and flat out fun, you bet your behind there’s more, and Bored Panda has it.
But if you need to call it a night because scrolling until 3AM is just not good for your future self, then why not just give us that upvote and maybe leave something sarcastic in the comment section and go get some rest!
If one kid can stay home alone and repel two robbers, I can too, mom.
"Go back to their lairs, And I say to them, "Bears, Just look how I'm walking in all the squares!" And the little bears growl to each other, "He's mine, As soon ...
This is very emotional for me because I was born at a very young age. This first two years of my life, I couldn't even walk. I couldn't even fend for myself. There would be times- I remember it so well- there would be times that I would wake up, and there would just be s**t in my pants!
Key*s*? I only got one, and it's scratched all over from overusage.
Wow, even the puppets can't get a raise, and they are controlled by strings and hands and machines.
I think someone should put "SARCASM" in a small font on each photo so that we can know for certain, though
