19 Philosophy Funnies to Haul You Out of Plato’s Cave and Drop You Straight into an Existential Giggle Crisis with an Absurdist Amount of Camus

If you've ever wanted to escape Plato's Cave only to realize the outside world is just a group chat full of Nietzsche quotes and Camus memes, you're in the right place.

Philosophy is the ultimate intellectual treadmill. You sweat through Aristotle's Golden Mean, only to trip over Sartre's existential crisis and land face-first in Camus' absurd universe, where the only thing more pointless than existence is arguing with a Kantian on Twitter.

If you’ve ever found yourself laughing at the Paradox of the Heap while crying into your copy of Being and Nothingness, congratulations, you’re either a philosophy major or you’ve been left unsupervised on the internet for too long.

So, if you’re ready to swap your existential crisis for a crisis of laughter, scroll down for 19 philosophy funnies that’ll make even the Allegory of the Cave look like a stand-up routine.
