Memes have become a ubiquitous part of internet culture, with millions of people sharing and creating them on a daily basis. But what is it about these simple images with captioned text that makes them so irresistible?

To understand the appeal of memes, it’s important to know their history. The first viral memes can be traced back to the early days of the internet, with the “Dancing Baby” and “Hamster Dance” being among the first to gain widespread popularity. Since then, memes have evolved significantly and can now be found in various forms, including captioned photos, reaction memes, and parody memes.

One of the main reasons why people find memes funny is that they tap into universal experiences and emotions. For example, a meme about the struggles of working from home during the pandemic is likely to resonate with many people who have experienced similar situations. Similarly, a meme about the challenges of parenting or being in a long-distance relationship can strike a chord with a wide audience.

In addition to being a source of entertainment, funny memes can also serve as a way for people to bond and connect with others over shared experiences and humour. They provide a quick laugh and can even help alleviate stress and improve mental health.

In Ghana, memes are pervasive on social networking sites, and it’s common to see them on people’s WhatsApp statuses, Snapchat and even Instagram. Those who share these memes sometimes call themselves “Meme lords”. Furthermore, some of them believe they are serving a greater purpose by helping people release their stress after a long day or just cheering people up…who knows, someone might be going through something bad.
