Let’s have some fun: post the funniest covid 19 memes you’ve seen
I don’t want to diminish anyone’s suffering, but we could always use a laugh. I own a business and I have a conference call with my partners tomorrow and we are all in line for a 50-100% pay cut coming.
Ive seen plenty of funny ones but don’t know how to post/embed or whatever. What are the best you’ve seen?
if not, bang me... something. please
People wanted things to be more like they were 100 years ago... so we had a pandemic. And the stock market collapsed ... people said, "no, that's enough!!!" and then all the bars closed.
(not mine, but I can't give proper credit, I don't know where my friend got it)
It wasn't a meme but I thought this tweet was pretty funny-and on target: "I guess we're about to find out which meetings could've been emails after all..."

Yes.
Has anyone else observed this to be age-related? I'm asking as (probably) one of the older people here. In my workplace it's the old-school co-workers who are dragging their feet on the whole WFH business. They're the same ones who schedule large meetings and take several people out of commission for an hour without considering the productivity hit.
To their credit, youngins don't seem to do that as much.
I am so, so, so very sorry for posting this. I am a bad human...

Now THAT is funny.

Not a meme or anything, but if I wasn’t working on this damn wood flooring project I’d be bored out of my mind. I really haven’t been affected since every free second I get I’m doing flooring.

Crazy times we’re living in...I used to cough to hide a fart. Now I fart to hide a cough.

This one rings true...

Created by computer nerds to create Nerd Utopia: a world without sports and where everyone has to stay inside and without any direct human contact.
Or created by media so there's nothing to do but sit inside and click on their content, that's why every one of them acts so sanctimonious about the damn thing.
March 19th, 2020 at 10:12 AM ^
Or...created by dogs so that all their humans have to stay home.

And stealing from Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me, if the cure is "giving belly rubs", then we'll know it was dogs all along.

This one is destined for the Thread HOF.

How dare you make fun of something we are all afraid of, but know little about! Memes? We need constant irresponsible projections based on unknown numbers!!!

Ok, guy who can't post a link
It's weird that he seems to put way more blame on the restrictions than on the fact that governments everywhere are failing to test enough people given that's the only way to get the information needed to properly act. Again, South Korea has avoided the lockdowns in China and Italy and probably soon in America precisely because they have been testing, though things have certainly slowed down. And for a guy who wants data and not just people freaking out about worst-case scenarios, it's pretty ironic who brings up the specter of war and the meltdown of the social fabric, whatever that would be.
Also, brushing off the 1918 pandemic that basically any half-educated knows about despite being 100 years ago because it was so fucking awful(!!!) is...interesting.

And the pandemic did damage the economy. Hard to compare because a lot of it has to do with more working-age people being affected (even good things, in terms of wage growth, came from lots of laborers dying).

Happened after the Black Death in the Middle Ages too and contributed to the growth of the middle classes, erosion of aristocratic dominance in the feudal system, and other social and religious changes.
Hmm, now that's a thought. Might this pandemic impact the status of the super-wealthy elite? Cause more social and religious upheaval?
We live in changing times, friends . . . .
Apologies. This is not particularly funny.
March 18th, 2020 at 10:31 PM ^
Kinda funny

“Everyone is talking about how much money they have lost in the stock market. Not me. I have exactly the same amount of money I had before the crash. Who knew that tequila and strippers were such good investments?”

lol love this one
This is great and rivals the Denard Robinson Big Ten Offensive MVP fake figure.

didn't someone in Trumps cabinet call it "The Kung Flu?"
March 18th, 2020 at 11:50 PM ^
Someone here called it Kung Flu PandaEmic.
Maybe, maybe not. Some reporter said someone in the admin called it the kung flu. When asked who they wouldn't say, because it probably didn't happen.
FYI, I've called it the kung flu from day one and will continue to.
But it makes a great headline to say that someone did use that term.
March 19th, 2020 at 12:24 PM ^
It certainly less scary when you think of Jack Black and and a big huggable Panda.
Our fearless leader calls it "Chinese Flu" and when questioned on that being perceived as racist, his response is "it comes from Chi-na, not racist."
March 18th, 2020 at 10:44 PM ^
More poignant than funny
Yep, that's always been true.
