Sometimes memes can reach a point of overexposure where the same jokes are being made over and over again. We've all seen it happen, and it's sad to see our favorite formats die slowly or be ripped to shreds. To combat that, many have decided to partake in the art of creating anti-memes, where literal observations and meta-humor flourish. This way, we can put these dying formats out of their misery much sooner.

Here are 15 of our favorites collected from the subreddit /r/AntiMemes.
