Incoming freshman were directed to find each other on Harvard’s Class of 2021 Facebook group, and in late December about a 100 of them broke off into a meme-sharing messaging chat titled “Harvard memes for horny bourgeois teens.” Can you guess where this is going?
Within hours of Beyoncé Knowles posting a multi-photo Instagram of a recent night out, one of its images—of the singer speaking to a restaurant employee while pointing at a menu—instantly received the attention of funny internet people who began imagining what she was saying, thereby becoming what we often refer to as…
You may have seen the footage of white supremacist helmsman Richard Spencer getting punched in the head. Perhaps you have even watched the video multiple times, taking solace in that fleeting, blissful moment of justice—Jezebel does not endorse violence of any kind—in the midst of so much panic and sorrow. If so, you…
Watching Donald Trump perform his obligatory biannual press conference on Wednesday was a truly bizarre, regrettable experience, which Alec Baldwin parodied perfectly with a sketch of his own on Saturday Night Live last night.
In keeping with the Facebook meme as well as our peers, we have compiled lists of the ten most formative albums of our teen years. In the interest of consistency, we kept it between ages 13-17, and in the interest of honesty, we have not edited out anything we listened to because we retrospectively learned it was…
Well, 2016 was pretty damn awful. And that’s the unifying message of this meme (we still have our memes), which has been steadily gaining traction on Twitter since Thursday. Let’s all take a minute to remember how relatively fine and like a young Winona Ryder at the beginning of Heathers we once were.
My darlings. My poppets. We’ve had a long and wretched week, haven’t we? I spent election night sobbing into consecutive glasses of pinot grigio, texting professions of love to friends as if doomsday were nigh (if I missed you, my apologies — I was sorely distressed). In fact, I might still be drinking inside of a…
Murrysville city councilman Joshua Lorenz, a Republican, recently posted a meme to his Facebook page that tells Hillary voters, “You can vote at home comfortably online!”, instructing them to “simply post ‘Hillary’ with the hashtag #PresidentialElection on your Facebook or Twitter account.” Yes, that’ll trick ‘em.
Washington D.C.—On Saturday, across the street from Omni Shoreham Hotel, where this year’s Family Research Council-sponsored Values Voter Summit was being held, groups of high-school girls in oversized blazers and too-tight french braids, and high school boys in too-tight button-down shirts and oversized “Make America…
In its heyday, You’re The Man Now Dog (YTMND) rode the cresting wave of early mainstream online communities, alongside its brethren like 4chan, Something Awful, and Newgrounds. The site allowed anyone to pair a gif (animated or not) with looping sound, to be voted on and shared by other users. At its peak, YTMND had…
Pokémon Go may be an agent of the New World Order, but that doesn’t mean the Pokémon themselves don’t like to have a little fun every once in a while. Like these two giant birds, for instance. Look at those ‘mons dance.
Several Facebook users have taken to the platform to complain that their posts about convicted rapist Brock Turner—whose treatment and sentencing has drawn widespread criticism—have disappeared.
After blowing up the internet with those sweet white Vans, Damn Daniel’s creator has now become the victim of one of the internet’s worst “pranks.”
Over 5,500 pages of emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were released by the State Department today, but fell short of a judge’s order that 82 percent of them would be made public by the end of the year. Around 3,100 emails, dated from 2009 to 2013, were included in the latest release. One of the…
After a series of terrorist attacks in Paris left the internet-commenting world in a state of public shock and grieving, software CMO Rurik Bradbury took note of one particular myth that was making the viral rounds: that the Eiffel Tower had gone dark in tribute, instead of as it always did at 1 a.m.
Every once in awhile a photo-taking trend comes along that causes us to simply ask, “Why?” Several years ago, it was “planking.” Before that, it was the “fingerstache.” Now there’s a photo meme that people are going nuts for, literally. It’s called Nutscaping, and it involves a dude’s single testicle hovering over a…
Today, in the Year of our Lord 2015, the heroically patient myth debunkers at Snopes.com have been forced to dismantle the rumor that Mount McKinley is now called “Denali” again because it means “black power” in “Kenyan.” If every word of that sentence made your bullshit alarm go off, congratulations, you have at…
The first prime-time Republican trainwreck is tonight on FOX News, and Jezebel has an exclusive sneak peek at Donald Trump’s performance. Insiders have told us that Trump was profoundly moved by Drake’s Meek-bashing OVO set, and found himself inspired to interpret it for tonight’s debate.
Shruggie Guy, also known distastefully as the smugshrug or kaomoji, died on Wednesday after being beaten to death by a generation of overeager Internet users and their parents.
