What would the internet be without memes ? Just a bunch of advertisements and obnoxious complaining. I don't even want to imagine an internet without memes. Instead of dwelling on nightmarish alternate realities, how about we all enjoy some nice and dumb memes together. We've got just the collection of funny randoms that'll make the day feel a little lighter.

Greetings, fans of all things Tolkien. But especially fans of The Lord of the Rings. It's that time again: Tuesday. Which means we're putting out our favorite LOTR memes to grace our eyes over the past week. Some of them come from Facebook, where thousands of people get together to share incredibly stupid memes using imagery from the movies. Some of the memes come from Reddit, where it's a constant struggle to avoid reposted shitposts from years ago. We're not going to pretend they're the best…

As much as I try to hide it, when something crappy happens, I'm gonna carry it with me for the rest of the day. If I get an obnoxious Slack message from a higher up as soon as I wake up, I'm gonna be grumbling from under the covers and all through my commute. Don't even get me started on the commute. The subway is always screwed up, there's inevitably someone screaming about Hell or the “people” who are “after them”, and worst of all? There's usually someone doing something disgusting like eati…

Hang in there.

Hello. There is no time to waste. It's time to be real - cut the bullshit. We all know what we're here for. Memes. We need them. Meme consumers are almost as diverse as memes themselves - everyone loves them. Little kids make nonsensical memes when they used to make nonsensical jokes. Instead of a bizarre “knock knock” joke, we're getting images with words that just do not match up. Then there are the wine moms . And regular moms. The moms who live for Minion memes or jokes about all the wine t…

Happy Tuesday, Lord of the Rings fans. What are some of your first memories as a devotee of the books and movies? One memory that always gets me happened a long, long time ago - when I was in high school and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was in theaters. My friends and I were so excited that we dressed up in our most fantasy-esque garb, had a nice mom buy us some wine, and went off to the Pavilion to sink into the possible bedbug-ridden seats and enjoy the show. Unfortunately, o…

Happy Sunday, friends, enemies, lovers, whatever! We would say that we hope your weekend was enjoyable, but time is a construct and right now, in the deep of winter , it feels like we're living a pretty freaking Sisyphean existence. One of our only forms of respite is to try to distract ourselves from that terrible, painful truth, and to inject some joy and maybe meaning into the monotony before we head back to the grind. This weekend, at least in the United States, some of us have a little mor…

It's Sunday evening. The scaries are sinking in, and hard. We're starting to feel that very specific agony that many folks feel at the start of the workweek. It's incredibly palpable. While Sunday is still technically a day of rest, it's also a day of dread. It can often serve as a reminder of how we are completely beholden to this mentally taxing and nearly automated schedule by capitalism and forced to greedily enjoy fun whenever we can get it. Which for some people means two days a week, and…

We've all heard the classic adage that “diamonds are forever”. It's a phrase that exists to communicate that only an expensive diamond will ensure a lifetime of blissful wedded commitment. Unfortunately, judging by all the divorced couples milling around the globe, the adage is more than a little bit misleading. Think of all the people on their third marriages! At the end of the day, there's very little in the way of permanence during this silly existence. Even this big old planet can't escape…

It sometimes feels like memes get a bad reputation. It seems that to some humorless individuals, they're considered a pedestrian form of entertainment. Maybe it's because they're so relatable, or because it's hard to brag about memes instead of theory. There are also people thumb their nose at them, writing them off as a huge waste of time, a - a destroyer of productivity , and perhaps a way to avoid being present. Those people don't see the full picture. Though it's undeniable that memes can s…

About a year ago I deactivated Instagram for the sake of my mental health . It's crazy how much time these apps can take up if you're not careful. Scrolling aimlessly through one's infinite feed is addictive. It starts innocently: you plant your bum on the toilet and start tapping on Instagram stories of people you barely know, or scrolling past the boring posts from your married friends in the hopes of finding something funny. Before you know it, it's been an hour, your ass is numb, and you'll…

What up, party people? It's the freakin' weekend, as someone who was cancelled would say. It's our hope that you're off doing something meaningful that will help you in the self-growth department. But guess what? It's totally cool if you're not. We get it. Life is tiring. You can't always be productive, even when it's in the name of self care . Sometimes the energy that you muster is just enough to change the channel on your television, or silently scroll through memes. If you're in the latter…

Happy Tuesday, nerds. We're back with another voluptuous batch of mostly-fresh Lord of the Rings memes . For those of you who are unfamiliar, every Tuesday we present a carefully curated collection of the very best LOTR-related memes to have graced our eyes over the span of the previous week. Some of them are clever. Some of them reference some deep material. But most of them are brilliantly stupid (and sometimes spicy) shitposts, which happens to be our preference. As you can see in this week'…

Hello again, internet friends. We're back with another one of our weekly collections of mostly-fresh and mostly-dumb Lord of the Rings memes. We are pleased to report that there's been a massive reduction of memes involving Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, so it seems our favorite meme makers have come to our senses. We were growing pretty weary of that subject matter. Mostly because Lord of the Rings memes don't need to rely on some dumb pop culture event. In fact, they're some of the most prol…

If a comedian makes a funny joke in a forest and no one is there to hear it, is it still funny? Writing little descriptions for these random meme galleries sort of feels like talking to a wall, or doing a standup routine to squirrels in the middle of an uninhabited forest. We all know nobody reads this crap. So why do we do it? Well, because the survival of websites like ours depends on certain social media platforms, and these certain social media platforms use algorithms that like it when we…

Memes!
