Greetings, meme-lovers and meme-tolerators! We’re knee-deep into Hump Day, the one day of the week when it’s acceptable to openly complain about being only halfway to the weekend. Sorry, boss, I don’t make the rules. Despite the fact that Wednesdays can be brutal, we’re actually kinda vibing because we’ve got a gallery of memes that will make you forget all about your midweek woes.

It’s true that life can be tough, but if these funny pictures are any indicator, memes are the ultimate distraction from reality. They’re like a quick shot of humor straight to your work-addled brain, a momentary escape from the monotony of everyday life. And even though they can’t change the world’s biggest and bleakest problems, they can definitely lift our spirits and make us feel a little bit better about our place in it. And who knows, maybe with the help of memes you’ll even find the inspiration you need to power through until Friday. Happy meme-ing.
