They educate and alert the people about silly mistakes, stupidities or ignorance in life. Sarcastic and critical, they trickle the humor out of the saddest and depressed of the people. For example- The picture here on right(bottom) humorously displays the situation where a cat has a science magazine put on its back. Looking surprised and putting up a blank face, it seems to be curious like a science- enthusiast. Hence the tagline Trying To Absorb New Wave Sci-Fi. Another one (top, left) jokingly, tries to show how
to prepare oneself for the week starting Sundays. Take the next one right (below), displays the lethargic attitude towards work on Monday. The message here says - "You can take this Monday and shove it" as if the person encourages others for a productive Monday and reap good profits from it. The picture of an encouraging, suggesting and a smiling person drives home the message very powerfully as well as clearly. Beneficial jokes like these make good mood among
the millions of users logged in here. Credits due to the creators of such
useful art. Be it Companies, individuals or part-time contributors, they have made browsing the app more informative, happy, humorous and at the same time amply

The impact of these varies from people to places to tastes and opinions.
What may sound humorous to one may irritate someone or escape notice of any
other. Some memes or jokes appear to amuse someone or make others roll out flat while they might be offending for someone else. This depends on the person reading it, his/her tastes, background, social or political affiliations etc. Sometimes controversy too erupts owing to objectionable depiction of characters or incidences. Memes depicting leaders, failed sports persons, celebrities etc. in high sarcasm or critique have not gone well everywhere. Some have led to attacks or assaults on the persons creating, distributing or sharing them. Some have been deleted after peer supervision or
court orders. Examples of public riots and violence have also been reported on
many memes or posts. In short memes & posts here are popular and
thought-provoking at the same time. Viral memes or jokes do spread like wild-fire and create quick and massive outburst of public sentiment and emotions.
Facebook being such a popular medium, memes & jokes whatever be their effects and response do create vibes healthy to public opinions, tastes or feelings. Deeper analysis of issues will provide more stuff for such creativities. The future of Memes & Jokes would surely be more complex, sophisticated and clearer. Use of AI apps to create jokes and graphical posts will be a step further. Wish more smarter and beneficial Memes & Jokes to brighten the days of its users and admirers.
