15 Memes That Are The Antithesis Of A Meme

Welcome to the wonderful world of anti-memes, which takes meme culture and turns it on its head. You've probably heard of places such as /r/comedycemetery, which is a subreddit dedicated to jokes that are just atrocious. Reddit's /r/antimeme is slightly different because it focuses instead on anti-humor. Unlike subreddits like /r/dankmemes or /r/me_irl, which contain memes that rely heavily on your own previous background knowledge, these memes are stripped down to their bare essentials.

This community strives on posts where the punchline is the absence of one, and memes often have a literal conclusion instead. The humor found in this collection lies in the utmost straightforwardness of most of these posts, where sometimes just stating the obvious can be incredibly hilarious. This collection is more of an homage to the sheer simplicity of comedy, and probably a gentle reminder not to take everything so seriously. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these painfully literal attempts at comedy.
