When life gets to be a little too much the best thing we can do to snap out of our funk is to be exposed to something truly out of this world. And that is why we made this list of absurd animal memes.

After all, a collection of cute cats or doting doggos is not going to help you snap out of your freakout. If anything you might find yourself deeper into the freakout. But much like a crying baby who is shown something completely new and unbelievable, you can jump start your system and stop the crying with something you have never seen before. And we usually find that the more absurd the thing is, the better.

And so we put together this list of absurd animal memes with just that thought in mind. So if you feel yourself teetering on the edge of a freakout, frustrated beyond belief and unable to contain your disdain for the world around you anymore then we invite you to step into this world of wacky animals and let go of everything. Your brain will thank you when it comes time to clock out for the weekend.

See, this is what happens if you do not pay your Owl subscription on time. You will still receive letters and small packages, but at some point (there is no telling when) you will find yourself accosted by an Owl. And as you can see here it is not without devastating effect that you will come face to face with your Owl derived punishment for late payment. Dang, just look at how mad this Owl is as well. If you did not know it was about late payment, you could have easily thought that this was something personal. Like you mouthed off about this Owl’s mama or something…

Honestly; genius. We would definitely pay to be put on display for all the animals of the zoo to come check out and laugh at. Though with how embarrassing it might be to be put on display, it would actually be far worse to be put on display only for no one to come and look at you. Even if they laugh, at least they are looking at you and in some decrepit way you are fulfilling your purpose. But to be ignored and have to live in a cage, well that truly is a disappointing way to live life.
