13 Awkward Memes Ruined By People Who Thought Their Captions Were Funny

We know, making memes can be tough. We, perhaps best of all, understand how hard it can be to come up with something original that's also funny. A good meme can take hours to assemble and perfect before watching it die in new because no one paid it enough attention. It's difficult to master the means of meme production. But if your strategy is taking a meme that already exists and adding on a reaction image that doesn't seem to actually pertain to the content whatsoever, you're not doing it right.

Taking a good joke and making it much worse happens all too often. So often, in fact, that it's become a crime online, which is known as comedy homicide. Hopefully, you're not guilty of this. But these memes surely are, because we're not laughing at them. At least, not in the way we're supposed to be. Take a good, long look at some memes that deserved far better, but were ultimately ruined by their own captions.
