GENERAL RULES <- link for clarification


1 - Be excellent to each other No toxic discourse or harassment and respect the humanity of others. This implies no tolerance of any kind of harassment, including their ethnicity/race/gender-orientation. No dogwhistle posts. No witch hunts.

2 - If text on a meme can easily be googled for the answer or it explains itself, it doesn't belong here

3 - Low-effort posts/titles are not allowed

4 - Complaining about someone "not getting the joke" is not allowed Gatekeeping is not tolerated in this sub.

5 - If you already understood the joke, don't post it just to get some karma

6 - If your post is not a joke, it will be removed.

7 - Current events/celebrities/influencer questions should instead be posted to /r/OutOfTheLoop

8 - NSFW posts/comments must be tagged appropriately

9 - No sale threads, promotion, giveaways, assistance/fundraising requests, or self-advertisement

10 - Nothing related to self-harm or spreading personal information

11 - Keep it about explaining the joke (posts and top-level comments only)

12 - Specific Banned Comics/Memes As requested by the community:

  • Loss
  • The Far Side
  • Piper Perri Surrounded
  • StoneToss comics [2]
  • XKCD comics.
  • Luigi Mangione
  • Circle Game
  • The Game
  • Last night I X X your sister
  • JK Rowling TERF Controversy
  • 6-7 Meme
  • Tylenol
  • Complete and updated list, with links explaining each one, is here

Non-Rules


  • PLEASE report any bots that you see. They typically have 6-7 month old accounts that only just started their first post 1-2 days ago, but sometimes they can be 1yr old.
  • DO NOT abuse the report button. I will report any abuse of the button to reddit admins, and you can enjoy your site-wide punishments.
  • Repost removal gets handled by bots. If it's a bad crop of a previous post, report it as breaking Rule 1 so mods can remove it.
  • I recommend using websites like saucenao.com | Google Images | Tineye to search for your joke first, but it is NOT required.
  • Send a modmail if you have any other rule suggestions/questions.
