20 Times Meme Formats Were Hilariously Misused

Memes are the perfect medium for expressing a joke or idea by simply subverting the meaning of an existing image with new text. The best thing about a good meme format is that it can be used over and over again and express something different each time, often making the format itself funnier through repetition. Well some madlads out there get a kick out of misusing meme formats by disregarding their symbolic potential and getting intentionally too literal with it. We're well aware that these dumb memes will likely elicit more eye-rolls than laughs, but we know the true meme fans out there can respect a good anti-meme when they see one.  Sometimes with memes, the more literal they are, the better.
