Advice animals are often associated with a far earlier version of the internet than the one we know and love (or hate) today. But if you can look past the Impact font, there are a number of reasons to love advice animals even in the modern-day. Though they may not seem like it at first glance, these memes are timeless, and they still work just as well in 2021 as they did back in 2012.

Advice animals were once so popular because of how easy it was to make them into a great meme, since these formats are so easy to manipulate to tell a story, explain a frustration or to just make a joke. That versatility never disappeared, and they're still just as meaningful nowadays as they were back then, even though lots of them result in an eyeroll from people who scroll by them without reading. But since we're all looking for fun ways to express ourselves online, why not give these old memes another chance? Here are some of the best modern advice animals.
