Oh, animals. A world without them would never be the same.

Try to imagine a world with no animals at all. Sure, it also means no mosquitoes to bite you in summer, no pigeons dumping their dumps on your cat's windshield, and no raccoons jimping on you from the large trash next to your house. They're not pleasant experiences, but these are also not the worst things to deal with in life. Besides, we won't have bees to pollinate the beautiful local wildflowers we love, no dogs to walk around with in the dog park, and no sweet sloths to gush over literally all the time.

A world with no animals also means a world with no animal memes - and that's a big no-no on our part. We are Animal Comedy, after all. And the biggest thing about animal comedy is the memes people make. Basically, about anything - memes are a pillar of any comedic genre. But when it comes to animals, it's even more apparent. Because it's not like we have animal stand-up comics, or animal comedy movies breaking the box office. With animals, it's only memes - of funny, silly, and adorable animals that we love and laugh at. What a delight.

So let's not even begin to imagine this bleak version of the world. Thinking of a world with no animals in it makes us sad, and we're definitely not here to be sad. We're here to make ourselves, and all of you, fellow animal fans, much happier. And for animal fans, the best and quickest way to introduce more joy to your day is to look at some funny animal memes - which we've got right here.

Get ready for some animalistic laughs!

You know, we don't really get people who are indifferent towards animals. Like, we get why people would dislike animals - germophobes, for example. But just being indifferent? That's plainly weird. We're not sure how to approach animal humor with these sorts of people. Because even people who claim to dislike animals have it in them to enjoy a good joke about them. But someone who has no idea how they really feel about animals wouldn't even enjoy a single animal meme. How weird is that?
It keeps us thinking, and we think we have a solution. Maybe, someday soon, we can introduce a special kind of animal meme collection tailored for people who are indifferent to animals to make them animal lovers. We're writing that on our idea list right now.
