Anti-memes are memes created on the internet using generic meme templates, often rewritten, in order to delete the original punchline entirely. These memes are completely out of context and offer little to no ulterior meanings underneath the photos, other than a simple interaction.

Many anti-memes read like they were made by a 10-year-old. They have a naive tone and their extremely simple meanings read like they were created by someone with little experience making memes. The humor within these images comes from the assumption of knowing what is missing from them. It is often described as a form of irony, or even art.

The comedy from this type of humor comes from the surprise that there is an absence of the expected joke or punchline. Most jokes are found funny by audiences because they subvert the already set expectations. It's about surprising people more so than telling old, overused jokes.

There is no joke. Here are 24 images that have words on them and may induce a chuckle or two.
