Memes are made with a variety of purposes. Some are meant to be cute; others, stupid. Many greats are a combination of the two. But the funniest and most impactful memes are those that exude sarcasm. Nothing makes an internet user hit that share button faster than an eye-catching image with text that packs a punch. There’s something admirable about how they make their points clear and without apology.

Come with us as we celebrate the snarkiest of memes: the ones that sting and provoke, the ones that start arguments and make family gatherings uncomfortable. You know, the FUN memes! Here are our top three most witty and sarcastic memes the Internet has produced.

3. Is This A Pigeon?

What started as a simple screenshot making fun of an anime character’s mix-up became 2018’s go-to meme for taking shots at one another. “Is This A Pigeon?” depicts the target as the confused anime man mixing up one concept for another. Political parties, social justice warriors and countless others have been the butt of the joke for years. Self-deprecation isn’t uncommon either, but as a take-that meme, this one stands as one of the most underhanded out there — and it’s still going strong today.

2. Woman Yelling At A Cat

You’ve probably seen this one recently as it’s currently EVERYWHERE. The two images: a yelling woman, taken from a 2011 episode of Malibu Beach Party From Hell, and an annoyed looking cat from a 2018 Tumblr post, are pasted together to create hilarious scenarios. Those have evolved from funny reactions to a mess of sarcastic take-thats.

The yelling woman was originally captioned with various situations while the cat represented someone’s annoyed reaction – for example, a mother telling her kid to clean their room while they play video games and look irritated. Nowadays, the meme tends to depict a blunt response to a complaint or argument, usually aimed at easily offended individuals. Who needs debating skills when you have edited images!

1. Condescending Wonka

It’s strange to think that perhaps the most hard-hitting meme of them all came from a beloved children’s film. In a scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Mr. Wonka rests his head on his hand and grins at his visitors; it was a charming moment in the film. But when the image was posted online in 2011, the internet loved the character’s smug look so much that the endless captions that followed seemed only natural.

While Wonka is a meme that spares no one, some targets include people with high education, conceited individuals and even those who use the meme. Anyone can be patronized, and let’s face it – every sly remark reads 100 times better with Wonka’s grin above it.

There you have it: our top three most snarky memes. Though there are many more, these are the ones that stand the strongest today. Whether you approve of their blunt attitude or not, they’re a part of internet culture and they never fail to provide an amusing spectacle. Let us enjoy these bold memes and all the savage snark that’s to come!
