If you’re here, you’re probably fond of memes to some extent. And, as you may have already figured out, new memes are popping up left and right with each passing day.
One of the more recent memes that has taken the world by storm is the so-called Trade Offer meme where a long-haired dude in a business suit gestures for several seconds with the caption Trade Offer at the top and two more captions showing what he receives and what you get in exchange.
The internet has been going wild with this meme, so here’s a curated list of some of the best and funniest Trade Offer memes available on the internet. Vote and comment on the ones you enjoyed the most and why not share some of your trade offers in the comment section!

Artful Bargains Ahead
Bob Ross was worth $10 million when he died in 1995. Not so much 'nothing'.
Absolutely. Not as if he wasn't being paid. So kinda invalidates the meme.
Load More Replies...Sock Swap Shenanigans
I recently replaced a broken dryer with a new one (it was too old to be worth the price of repair). Found 13 socks when I took the back off it. They DO eat socks!
You suggest it's not aliens nor gnomes? I don't believe you.
Load More Replies...Does anyone know the cheat code on the washing machine to stop it from eating my socks?
They turn into tupperware containers without lids.
Load More Replies...I have a tiny safety pin attached to each pair of socks. If your socks aren't pinned together before they go in the dirty laundry basket they don't get washed.
Purrfect Business Deal
When my furbaby Ragamuffin was indoor-outdoor, she brought me a lot of gifts. During the summer, when I lived near a creek, she specialized in frogs. Once she brought home a baby copperhead!
Load More Replies...I also receive the lovely gift of random puke piles (i swear my cat binge eats and then pukes :( ) and torn curtains.
I used to feed my cat fresh meat (made for cats, like RadCat) and some kibble, which she would eat between meals, but not wolf down because she would have already had something far more appetizing for that.
Load More Replies...All cat lovers like me reading this and thinking: 'dead mouse, lizard, mole, leaf, anything they pick up and offer are like sacrifices of worship and adoration. I accept. Even licks that sting my skin, kneading on my breast that feels weird, stinky litter shoveling, nightmare-ish medication feeding, and always being covered in fur'. No? Just me?
So, Trade Offer, or sometimes referred to as Trade Request, is a viral meme that graced the internet back in mid-March.
The original meme is actually a tad bit different from its current-day incarnation. It was first posted by TikTok user @natebellamy4 in the form of a trade proposal to God, jokingly offering Kamala Harris, Cardi B, and the state of California in exchange for Ronald Reagan, Kobe and Gigi, as well as a Covid vaccine.
But it wasn’t long until people started reusing this format and ever so slightly building upon and optimizing it.

my grandma lets me have icecream for lunch and breakfast if i want it.
Load More Replies...Probably because you pronounce it as 50 dollars not dollars 50 so prople think put $ after.

Data Deal Gone Wrong
The first versions were more or less the same deal, offering multiple things for other multiple things, and not necessarily to God, but just hilarious trade proposals in general.
Enter TikToker @bradeazy, who optimized the template to just include the captions Trade Offer as well as the I Receive/You Receive captions and the actual offer.
This is the version that many know and have grown to love over the past month.

you don't die you just get to belly rub a bear trap
Load More Replies...XD and heres a fact: dont ever belly rub a cat. when they roll over, its a sign of trust, like, imma trust that you dont poke my vulnerable spot.
Yep - most cats don't like their bellies touched - that's a doggie thing!
Load More Replies...I our family only my daughter can do the belly rub without being immediately slaughtered. I envy her!
Have you compared techniques? Or is the cat just playing favorites?
Load More Replies...LOL I’ve never understood about the cats hating their bellies being touched - both my cats love belly rubs and will gladly flip over and ask.
The Broken Ice Cream Deal
When i get ice cream from mcdonalds on my way to therapy, the ice cream machine was rarely broken.
Load More Replies...The ice cream machine isn't broken. It needs to "self clean" and that takes a while so they can't serve any ice cream...
More like it's after 8 PM and we shut it off or it requires cleaning to work and we don't want to do it.
yah sure 'its definitely broken' sur this isn't even a mcdonalds this is a walgreens
I thought the broken ice cream machine thing was an AZ thing... good to know we are not alone...-_- hahaha
Unlikely Business Deal
Worth Every Penny
*but most of the time , but its so stigmatized that youd think all of it is lies
Load More Replies...Well worth it. I'm a writer and teacher and happily make my donation monthly - and if the info's wrong, I know I can always go into the chat tab and edit it.
seems fair. you did help me know what most of the stuff on the internet is, you and urban dictonary.
The info may not always be correct, but you can find peer reviewed journals cited in the wiki if you scroll down to references. Also, peer reviewed info is not always factual. Remember Andrew Wakefield?
Once the meme was out, it began picking up traction all over the internet. Reddit was one of the first places to go nuts about it, with many of the top trending posts being some variation of the meme.
Speaking of which, there’s tons of them. Everything from pets to fictional characters to companies to that one hilarious one about how your pockets get headphones and return them tangled, the meme receives and offers it all.
The Ultimate Dad Deal
...and free food, water, love, happiness, a sense of safety, clothes on our back and.... GOOD LORD, I SOUND LIKE MY PARENTS ALREADY!
Sounds like a good deal to me. Wait until you have your own house and have to do all the same chores plus hundreds more *and* have to pay for the whole thing.
Fairly legit offer if it means you don't need to pay rent but is actually old enough to live on your own.
But you also also: - Food - Clothing - Bed - Security - Not leaving home as one of those 18 year olds that can't look after themselves.
Depends on the family. No one is allowed to do the dishes/clean other than my grandmother because if anyone else does it we're doing it wrong and we get yelled at/shooed out of the room. If it's the kitchen, no one is allowed to load or unload the dishwasher other than my grandmother because once again if anyone else does it we're doing it wrong or putting things in the wrong spot and she can't find anything. The amount of times I've been kicked out of the kitchen for trying to help is unreal. The only thing I can remotely clean is my room or my side of the bathroom sink. It's the same thing when my grandfather does laundry, the only other person who can remotely touch the dirty clothes is my grandmother because she's particular about how her clothes are washed. If anyone else tried to wash the clothes they're doing it wrong.

This is even funnier because the vast majority of petrol does not come from dinosaurs at all. It is the result of hundreds of thousands of years of plant matter, zooplankton and algae build-up....only a very small percentage came from Dino, if any.
Oil doesn't come from dead dinosaurs! I wish people would stop this childish idea!

Pet Owner Negotiations
Lol I rescued a puppy a few weeks ago. This is my first dog, and it's definitely the absolute best thing ever. Got my first inside poop surprise yesterday.
We do. My dog is just a little rebel, and that's why we love her so much.
Load More Replies...Bradeazy has posted several versions himself, mostly just reusing that same video, but has recently started to dress up in different clothes for different iterations.
One of the first videos in the vein managed to get nearly 4 million views, and most other Trade Offer videos gain anywhere between 300,000 and 800,000 views with thousands upon thousands of likes.

The Ultimate Stress Deal
No thanks, I got all those things for free. And some depression as well, guess they were feeling generous.
Perhaps the depression was a reaction to the change. If it becomes recurring, I would encourage you to discuss it with your Primary Care Physician. My Season Affective Disorder showed up when I was in my late teens, but it didn’t really become a concern until I was nearly 30. Since then, I’ve been on and off meds to help control it, although once my thyroid broke and I had to take daily meds for that, I decided to do a daily antidepressant as well and have been doing much better since then. I recently requested and received a small dosage increase and that helped enormously. I’m now in my mid-60s, so one small increase in the course of 30~ years isn’t so bad and it keeps my brain from trying to get me to kill myself!
Load More Replies...Don't forget a closet of a dorm room and a meal plan for even more money.
And the worst parking lots farthest from the school, fines and fees for everything, and, if you are in the USA, huge debts that can never be repaid.
Load More Replies...And an expensive piece of paper that means nothing except you’re qualified for an entry level position making $15 an hour
Childhood for Sale
Kinda unrelated, but I prefer going to school to online learning. I focus better at school.
Such a privileged point of view. So you'd rather NOT have schools and remain uneducated and illiterate?
This is obviously not talking about education in general lol just the current education SYSTEM
Load More Replies...This is why I DESPISE the school system. ESPECIALLY those STUPID “challenge” courses meant to make dum-dums feel like they are smart, while the INTELLIGENT children get depression,boredom,and eventually fall behind.I spent WEEKS worth of lunchtimes LECTURING the challenge students.IT WAS WELL SPENT MWAHAHAHA
When I was a kid the adults in my life always said 'You'll miss your school days when they're gone'. Me now at 45 - 'Thank f**k I'm not still at school'. I came away with severe depression which meant I couldn't work in my 20's and most of my 30's. 2 suicide attempts and an overwhelming relief I don't need to go to school any more. I even have anxiety nightmares where I find myself back at school. It was a horrific experience for me.

Font Police Chronicles
yes, there was a teacher at my Jr High that wouldn't even read your essay if you didn't have a proper MLA formated heading and proper font and stuff. I didn't have that teacher but I had friends in her class
Load More Replies...I just finished a mini-essay in MLA and I literally read it over twice then had like three other people including the teacher read it over before I finally submitted it. I was so stressed that I could’ve done something wrong and then I’d get a low grade lol
I never had a teacher who cared about this. Maybe they’d dock 10 points if none of the style guidelines were met.

Ahahaha- yeah... We're gonna need some more salvation than you gave us, sir.
Ok, all of humanity was cursed because Adam and Eve ate a fruit. In order to show his forgiveness of US, God had his only son tortured and murdered. I think flowers would have been fine but, he's not always on his meds.
And because people ‘received’ salvation, people used it as justification for genocide and bigotry, and still do to this day. Sounds like a bad deal to me.
Yeah...no. Not into cults based on any theology, Nature as my church is more better, more diverse and less judgemental. I just think the world needs more of Mother Nature and less ego pumping, other shaming lots full of buildings filled with loosely based warped concepts and applications of love, but hey, you do your thing if it makes you a better person I am all for it.
The Caretaker Contract
Linguistic Power Play
Good luck everyone who didn’t grow up with a version of English...it draws on so many languages (mainly—but not exclusively—Latin and Greek) that it’s a mishmash of rules and lists of exceptions to those rules, plus a mind-boggling array of accents, some of which will be completely indecipherable to other English speakers who grew up elsewhere. (I’m talking about you, NZ! I hear nothing but wonderful things about you, but I can *never* understand what Kiwis are saying.)
