30 Absurd Memes That Are Real Head Scratchers

If there's one type of humor that defines Gen Z, it's absurd humor. Every young adult I know is obsessed with the sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave far more than they're invested in Saturday Night Live. Absurd humor is also the dominant sense of humor for popular memes. I think it's because absurdist memes appeal to a much larger demographic than edgy humor or humor that appeals to a specific demographic. 

Some types of absurdist humor age worse than others. For instance, about ten years ago, it was undeniably popular to frequently discuss one's love for pizza and bacon. After the diet-crazed culture of the 2000s passed, embracing a love of food through memes and humor became en vogue. As time has passed, proclamations like these have been characterized as "embarrassing" and "old hat," but absurd memes will live on far beyond Jennifer Lawrence pizza memes.
