Like @couplethingvideos, which currently has over 300K followers on Instagram. The schedule for what the account uploads is quite random, but so are the memes they post. In fact, the versatility of themes might be exactly what brought so many people to follow them. So, let’s take a look at what kind of random memes they share with the hope of bringing some laughter to our day.
More info: Instagram While memes are a source of entertainment, they can be more than that. In fact, it could be said that memes are a language in themselves—they are a format people use to communicate. They can transcend other languages and cultures, making them a universal tongue in a way. The ideas for memes usually come from various places—from social media, pop culture, fashion, life, and so on. R. Lachman said that the sources can not only inspire but also signal in-group membership: “If you ‘get’ my image reference, I’m proving my cultural adroitness, making common cause with a subgroup that understands the joke/reference, and claiming a little of that glow of that media object for myself.“ That’s where memes come in. Our interviewee already said that they help people feel like members of certain communities. What we haven’t mentioned yet is that he also believes memes usually serve as bridges between people because discussing any topic in a joke format is easier than taking it seriously. As R. Lachman said: “Sharing a meme can help bond, which can then lead to (online or offline) conversations, acknowledging that others are out there and that we are not alone.“ He also noted that sometimes it’s not just the individual meme itself, but the feeling of sharing them within a thematic community that helps. Also, mental health isn’t the only theme that can unite people through memes. Just as there are plenty of sources for their creation, there are as many communities that can be connected. The topics for memes can vary as well. The Instagram page @couplethingvideos proves that—the themes there are pretty random but still quite hilarious. Over 300K followers would likely agree.
