28 Memes Ruined By Their Captions
The whole point of memes is to share them with friends. Memes are meant to be shared far and wide. Sometimes, though, people will share memes and add their own captions to them, hoping to improve them, but doing the opposite. Whether a meme is good or bad, adding a terrible caption or new elements to it is only going to make it worse. Doing this is called "comedy homicide," and it's a terrible crime.
Comedy homicide can come in the form of caps-locked captions, too many emojis, red circles circling the obvious or additional memes being added in. It's unnecessary and results in some serious cringe. Reddit's /r/comedyhomicide is a gallery for all of the victimized memes that have been destroyed by their captions, by the very people who shared them. It's like a memorial place for the memes that didn't make it. Here are 28 of them that will never be the same again.
