We’ve collected some of the freshest memes shared on the ‘Sarcasm Daily’ Instagram page to bring some laughter into your lives, dear Pandas. Scroll down, upvote your faves, and be sure to send them to your friends and colleagues. They could probably use a break from all that work and studying they’re doing! Bored Panda wanted to find out more about why certain memes succeed while others fail to leave a mark, so we reached out to entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert Mike Sington for comment. You’ll find the thoughts he shared with us below. According to the expert, the most successful memes tap into shared experiences and emotions. “They make you think, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s me!’ or ‘I know exactly how that feels.’ This relatability can be about anything from the struggles of everyday life (like trying to adult) to niche interests (like a love of a particular video game)," he said. Sington pointed out that funny memes tend to be easy winners because humor connects people. Using clever wordplay or relatable social awkwardness is relatable and can help the audience laugh at themselves or the world around them. Meanwhile, Sington shared a few key insights about standing out in a social media landscape that’s already filled to the brim with memes. This requires “a blend of wit, relevance, and a touch of originality.” For example, content creators can add more originality by moving beyond the same old trending meme formats. In short, they should strive to innovate. “While popular meme templates can be a good starting point, try to go a bit deeper. Look for fresh image sources or niche formats that resonate with your audience,” he suggested. According to Sington, creators can also try jumping on trending topics or news events to create fresh content. Alternatively, they can always find inspiration by looking at the calendar. For example, they could post memes related to the holidays, award shows, or even something like seasonal weather changes. The pop culture expert also advises picking a niche and sticking to it. Creators should try to cater to a specific community and develop a signature style by leaning “into what makes your memes unique.” On top of that, you should try to engage with your audience to a certain extent. You could, for example, respond to some comments or participate in some threads created by the members of your community. “Remember, the meme world is ever-evolving. Stay on top of trends, experiment, and, most importantly, have fun with it!" Sington told Bored Panda. One way to connect with your audience is through laughter. Another is to tackle questions and issues they care about. If your content resonates with your audience on a deeper level, they’re more likely to stick around for more similar content. Not only that, but they’ll also be happy to share your posts with their social circle, too. And a meme that’s (re)shared and goes viral is a true meme, by definition. Another potential reason behind the account’s popularity is that its curator does everything that they can to keep the page relevant. They constantly post memes on a regular schedule. That way, ‘Sarcasm Daily’ constantly reminds its audience that it exists by popping up in people’s feeds. That’s why it’s so important to create an overall sense of visual clarity and fluency. Ideally, the images are high-quality and to the point, while the text is short and uses a good font. Some of the memes shared on ‘Sarcasm Daily’ deal with some pretty serious issues. Unfortunately, a lot of people find things like constant anxiety, dealing with seemingly never-ending exhaustion, and burnout at work to be relatable. In short, stress is something that many people deal with daily. There are no easy or quick solutions to chronic stress. But what you can do is prioritize self-care, focus more on your positive relationships, cut back on overwork and overtime, and begin creating healthy (well, healthier) boundaries between your work and your free time.
