Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’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 Formats
Not 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

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.
"Thumbs up if <I don't know wtf you're talking about thing> brought you here!"
There’s always some long story comment like:
Old peepaw used to dance to this on his birthday, but when gamgam died he stopped, until he met hot Mindy and danced again. Miss you peepaw.
I don’t think it’s healthy for us to see the same cliched comments under all songs. Something weird about it. It devalues the sentiments.
