20 Memes That Were Obliterated By Their Own Captions
Some memes are meant to live in the "comedy cemetery." Whether they were made with absolutely no effort or a little too much effort, it's easy for a meme to sentence itself to a quick death upon its very creation. When a meme creator does such a horrible job of doing justice to a meme concept, it's known as "comedy homicide."
Comedy homicide is not a joke. Millions of memes suffer every year. We can't save them from their inevitable doom, but we can stare sadly into the abyss of meme death as they trend for all the wrong reasons. These memes could have been funny, but someone wrote a caption or edited them in a way that destroyed all humor. The comedy cemetery is an unforgiving place, especially for memes so bad they were created for the simple purpose of dying when they could have amounted to so much more. These are some of those memes, and we feel sorry for their cruel fates.
