Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Clips from British comedy shows that aired before 2010:

"You wouldn't be allowed to make this these days"

"Comedy is dead, too many snowflakes now"

"Wokeness ruins everything"

You forgot the random jabs at Indian people, but otherwise spot on

The first one can be true - executive following 'safe' ideas to appeal to 'a mass audience' has certainly made comedy worse.

But the other two are nonsense and really even the first is subverted by YouTube/TikTok/etc - no one has to run their comedy past a TV editor anymore.
