This is a humorous and absurd way to capture the ridiculous situation. To understand meme humor, one must look at how it often pokes fun at popular trends and current events by using sarcasm. This humor can range from sarcastic to outrageous, where pointing out the silliness of a situation or just being outrageous is humorous. As an example, Harambe memes used sarcasm to make fun of the reaction to the gorilla's death. Similarly, bass drops and distorted sound can be hilariously absurd and a great way to show the ridiculousness of a situation.

Look for the most recent memes people are sharing on the internet. Whether it be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit or 4chan, pay attention to the memes that others post and make sure to avoid using outdated ones. To stay up to date with the latest memes, browse subreddits such as r/memes and r/dankmemes. Additionally, capitalize on timely topics that are trending; for instance, take advantage of the Bernie Sanders’ meme that recently gained traction. Lastly, plug relevant words and phrases like the current year into Google to dig up the latest memes.

Incorporating iconic images from pop culture into your memes will draw from the experiences of current social media users, increasing the reach and resonance of the memes. When constructing memes, it is beneficial to make allusions to viral videos, photographs, and other memes. This will add depth to the comedy of the post. Famous scenes from films, pictures of recognizable characters from books or video games, or jokes from an internet trend are all typical references you can add. As an example, Willy Wonka with a smug expression, Fry from Futurama squinting, or Joker dancing on the stairs can all be used to capture a certain type of reaction. By integrating recognizable images from general culture into your memes, the reach and impact of the content will be significantly elevated.

Typically, the conflict between these two elements is the source of mirth and amusement for the viewer. Creating a clash between two seemingly disparate characteristics can make for a funny meme. For instance, linking a picture of a calm, cuddly animal with a bawdy joke can provide a sense of absurdity which many people find hilarious. The conflict between the two opposites is usually the basis for making the meme look amusing and share-worthy.
