Though it's rare to stumble across a good double-edged joke, something can be funny and sad simultaneously. Though the two feelings are so drastically different, there are lots of ways this can be executed. For one, social media posts that just feel too real, like jokes that reference our ever-crumbling economy. Many of us have developed a hardened sense of humor over the years, and sometimes, the funniest jokes play off of some rather messed-up problems in society or simply a situation that could be considered a bit of a bummer.

At the same time, there's something incredibly funny about these jokes, and the sadder they get, the funnier they wind up being. Posts like these are a little too easy to relate to, and we love them for it, since people nowadays have found ways to mock our own suffering. So instead of focusing on simply a funny meme or a depressing one, feel a bit of both with 25 memes that were meant to make you laugh through the pain.
