20+ Overly Literal Memes For When The Irony Gets Too Much

Internet humor has developed at lightning speed over the past few years. Once upon a time, we were all cheerfully getting our kicks from Advice Animals then before we even knew it, we were having to decode the latest Wojak and its commentary on society today.

All the memes in this gallery take things as literally as possible, so you can enjoy all the laughs without the need for mental gymnastics. Doesn't that make a nice change?
