40+ Accidentally Funny Posts From People Trying to Be Deep

Remember that one friend with inappropriate examples but they were also spot on? Well, perhaps this Redditor is exactly that! What was meant to be a deep lesson — the fact that we’re all the same on the inside regardless of skin color — somehow became a hilarious meme! This person ended up comparing people to eggs!

Then again, though, he’s not wrong. Perhaps we should take a note or two from him!

Ah, sweet teen years! Adolescence is a pretty intense period and perhaps, for many kids, it’s the time when many bubbles start to break. Someone tried to portray that but ended up with a funny meme.

The meme was so on point that someone even wanted this to be added as an emoji! Jokes apart, teenagers — chill out. Life is a rollercoaster. Try not to waste your best years on sadness!

The WhatsApp chat memes truly started a new era of memes. Some people even use it to impart some philosophy. This particular meme is perhaps the most accurate in terms of 21st-century obsessions.

Remember the fidget spinner craze? Humans prefer a world with just fidget spinners and no trees! The funniest thing is the fact that Clouds left the group and Earth is absolutely shocked…

We’re not really sure what kind of deep conversation this one was attempting to evoke but one thing is for sure — it’s one of the funniest ever. Although the cartoon itself speaks volumes and expands on what the poster actually meant, it still came out uncharacteristically funny.

If you’re trying to go deep with illustrations, definitely take notes! Never use funny looking pictures to convey issues that are too serious, not if you truly want to be taken seriously!

Someone tried to make a post that went hilariously wrong. He tried to cheer up people that thought nobody liked them. Such a sweet gesture, right? The post is perfect — until you notice the grave mistake. He forgot to change his username! Someone even took the responsibility to point this out to him.

Quite embarrassing. But, at least he tried! A classic deep yet cringe-worthy post. So, before you post a deep quote, do your homework well!

Any Naruto fans here? This post actually had a deep and meaningful message. However, the cringe began with the photo used in conjecture. The character you see here is Itachi, one of the most hated characters of Naruto! Why?

Well, Itachi had always valued his village and other moral duties over his own feelings and humane abilities. And he did many despicable things, so no wonder fans cannot tolerate a sad but philosophical post like this one.

Everyone is laughing out loud with this deep and intellectual post gone wrong. So, in this post a teacher makes the mistake of writing the wrong digit, causing the students to snicker. Mind you, the students must be very young and it’s natural for them to find these kinds of things funny.

What’s hilarious is when the teacher actually turned it around on them. The internet called out the teacher for being condescending. Not everything in life has to carry a great message — sometimes it’s good to admit mistakes.

Someone tried to make a deep and emotional post from an animated movie….about fish! That’s right. This Tumblr account posted this as an emotional post but he used a snippet from a film about cartoon fish. The internet is wondering — is this satire or what? The poster even went on to add some drama by making the photo black and white!

Somehow this made it even stranger. There are thousands of movies but someone chose fish to express human longing. Ironic.

This one has definitely made a mark. So, a woman had someone take a picture of her amongst some greenery but a guy watering the plants behind her unknowingly photobombed. She tried getting a professional photo editor to remove the man. Well, guess what?

Without him, there would be no plants to take photos with. Let’s just hope that this lady took it as a lesson. Hail this man and his Photoshop skills.

This deep but funny post was misinterpreted by so many that it lost the actual meaning. This poster wanted to portray how technology has changed the definition of a ‘journal.’ Once upon a time, we considered notebooks or journals as pieces of paper binded together.

Now, there are smartphones and laptops. The message is simple, right? But, people actually thought the stacked papers were money needed to afford an iPhone! Talk about going too deep. The internet will take you down.

Teenagers, can you relate? How many times have your parents hounded you for a messy bedroom? As if this was the only mess in your life. This Tumblr poster tried to convey their deepest of thoughts but what ended up coming out was rather funny.

While this is highly relatable to the younger generations, it must feel very strange to the parents. What could be so hard about your life as a high schooler? Obviously, many things…

These expectations vs. reality memes hit very close to home. How many times have we imagined conversations with our crushes? We can all agree that we spend an unhealthy amount of time fantasizing about the first conversations. And then one fateful day, you finally muster up the courage to say a few things.

Result? The half-hearted replies! Even worse, getting laughed at after revealing your true feelings. Things are way better in our imagination — less cringy and more wholesome. Who needs reality, right?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you must know that emojis have taken over the whole world. In fact, people speak using emojis now! Thanks to the upgraded emoji systems in the modern keyboards, you’ll have no shortage of finding the perfect icon.

This guy used emojis to express himself. Try reading the first letters of each emoji and see if it makes sense!

This one holds the perfect amount of cringe and deep thoughts. This depicts how people who talk excessively or shout at others lack intelligence. Makes reasonable sense, right? The problem is, someone conveyed this thought using a teacher and his students.

Yikes! Good teachers are plenty but sometimes you come across the seemingly evil ones, too. We’re guessing this post is dedicated to the latter.

Students have been living so ‘virtually’ that things like going to school and studying look stupid! Here’s a very cringe and funny post, trolling the education system. The person has really thought hard and cannot reason why anyone would need school in this era.

He’s not wrong, though. After all, everything’s now on your screen or in your headphones. Still, the comparison seem bizarre! We wonder how teachers have responded to it!

Even though we’re just one notification away from each other, loneliness has only escalated. And with social media, it’s difficult to make long-lasting connections. Oftentimes, people suffer silently even though they might have hundreds of friends and followers online.

Perhaps the one who posted this had a bitter experience, too. And we all maybe had such experiences once in life.

This highly relatable post hits differently when you’re an adult. Truth be told, this is an accurate depiction of what aging looks like. The only cringe part is perhaps the editing. Other than that, this post is perfectly ‘deep’ enough to spark some thoughts.

It’s true — as we age the world starts to get harsher. Gone are the simple days of playing video games. Then arrives adolescence and finally adulthood. Why did we ever have to grow up?

So, this conversation was posted by a Redditor. His friend, who — for the record — isn’t a middle schooler, sent him this reply when asked how he was doing. The emo scene may not be as popular anymore but angsty youngsters will always remain.

Even though they’re just mere teenagers, it seems like they’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster! Either way, it’s slightly cringe-worthy and unnerving to see how young kids process their emotions nowadays.

This list would not be complete without the presence of Yoda, would it? Ever wondered what all the indie bands have in common? What makes them write such good music? The answer is simple. Someone broke their hearts and they ended up making hit songs in response.

And this one is a fact! Indie bands are notorious for writing about broken hearts and longing. What makes this post great is Yoda from Star Wars!

Deep and thoughtful posts using Marvel characters? Oh, yeah! So, the internet often romanticizes evil characters, justifying their actions and making them seem very deep. Thanos is one of those supervillains that’s super edgy with just a hint of compassion, even when he single-handedly destroyed the whole human race!

Thanos’ character growth has been quite complex and it’s hard to pinpoint his moral compass. But, are we going to give him a free pass for his actions just because he’s said to be ‘thoughtful?’

The Simpsons sometimes provide really valuable life lessons, aside from them predicting a lot of things. Lisa Simpson was always the brightest Simpson out there, wasn’t she? This one comes directly from a special episode of The Simpsons!

While the message is too deep, it’s hard to take it seriously when it’s posted alongside an animated character from one of your favorite comedic shows. Yes, breathing doesn’t mean living but watching a Simpsons episode will surely brighten up your mood. Is this why the Redditor posted it? We’ll never know!

Let’s be real — we’ve all had those days in which we drown ourselves in self-pity and sadness. Someone on Reddit tried to tweak an angsty poem by adding his own lines. He decided to drop a word that we can all agree we’ll never get tired of.

And that is — hamburger! There’s always time for munching on a hamburger, even if you’re crying while doing so.

These words of wisdom some of the best that we’ve ever heard. Whoever came up with this is a wise person indeed. This person tried to reason how negativity works.

Like a ship can’t be sunk without the water encroaching it, it’s surely impossible for anyone to drown themselves in negativity if they don’t let those thoughts inside. So, the best solution? Try to keep negativity away from you and never let it take over.

This one carries a beautiful message with it. Here are two people, each riding the same bus down the same route. And yet, one of them is staring out of the window to see a rocky mountainside while the other guy is gazing out to see a beautiful sight of cascading hills.

It means that we make a choice every single day — to either make the best or worst out of any situation. We are all riding the same bus, the same mountainous roads, and beautiful greens. It depends on us, and which path we want to focus on.

If we didn’t find this so comical, it would probably break our hearts. So, this post is about unrequited attention and admiration. Ever had the experience of being friend-zoned? Then, you can definitely understand the post here. Also, does anyone else get really stressed out when the person you’re texting starts to type back?

It feels like an eternity. This is exactly what the person tried to convey. We wait until the words are hollow! The post is super accurate and relatable!

Any Scooby-Doo fans here? Back in the day, Scooby-Doo was one of the most famous and popular cartoon show out there. And, it also was way ahead of its time. You’d find uncanny life lessons in cartoons! Scooby-Doo was not only animated and fun, but the lessons were also quite solid.

It showed that the real monsters are actually humans — it’s not always ghosts and creatures, but the inner demons within ourselves.

Any Minecraft fans here? This post will make more sense to anyone that plays the game. Minecraft has many villainous characters and whatnot. But, this poster depicted how the real monsters are actually us – human beings.

We as a species have done unimaginable things and yet, we call others monsters! The post was deep until we noticed the classic cat memes. The latter portion definitely lightens up the mood, don’t you think?

Gamers, reassemble! Gamers are perhaps the most misunderstood and bullied in a group of people. Why? All because they prefer to sit in front of the computer and play their favorite games!

Society always tries to dehumanize them but in reality, it’s society that has immense flaws, not someone minding their own business. While the yellow color of the pool does give a creepy and strange vibe, the representation is quite accurate.

Over the years, awareness surrounding mental health has increased significantly and has become a topic of conversation. Still, even with this progression, there’s still a stigma when it comes to these issues.

When asked what this kid wanted to become, he replied that he wanted to be happy. The other students laughed his answer off, while the problem remained the same! This is how the real world works.

Is this a prediction of how society will be after millennials become parents? We guess so! This post shows how people are always distracted by their devices, ignoring what’s happening all around them. This kid has grown up seeing his parents constantly glued to their phones.

So, in his family portrait, he decided to include these too! How hilarious is that? A bit sad, too. It’s hard not to get so absorbed in technology but we must reduce the use!

This is one of the funniest albeit slightly cringy posts. Recognize the most famous jokers and clowns in this picture? We have Joker and Pennywise bragging about how many people they’ve pushed to demise.

So, Ronald the McDonald tried to chime in, claiming to take millions of lives! Ring some bells? Obesity is a leading cause of death in the U.S. and fast-food chains are the culprits!

How many people look back at their intense teenage times and laugh out loud? We assume this poster will also be doing the same. This post is definitely from the book of ‘playboys confess their wrongdoings.’

So, this fella tried to portray himself as the victim even after being horrible, making it seem like a deep life lesson rather than owning up to his problems. Well, guess what? The internet was quick to point out his flaws and since then, this post has been a source of laughter.

Tumblr peeps always take things too far! Even the movie Monsters University has become a ‘school of thought.’ Surprised? Well, we are. So, this girl pointed out how the movie silently addresses that the education system is always so unkind to students with learning disabilities.

The slug monster missed his entire school year for being slow, remember? So, is this film actually a satire? We hope not!

Cringe level — infinity! We wonder whose heart was this badly broken that they cared enough to collect tears and bottle them! Somebody was clearly very emotional and attempted to make a deep post about their heartbreak.

But, these ‘tear-bottles’ ended up being more comical than deep. On the bright side, the post has now become a cult meme! At least that, right?

The internet called out this poster for being too pretentious! As you know by now, trolls on the internet can be quite mean. Sometimes, the comments are completely unnecessary while other times, they’re perhaps necessary.

So, this guy posted about his silence, and that he only prefers to speak about astronomical jargon. A guy then called him out, saying he was being ostentatious!

This high schooler really shocked everyone with this innovative idea. We think the message is great, although the execution might be awkward. So, she wore a hoodie with the words, “We live in a society.”

The catch? You can’t see the writing without reflecting light on the hoodie. Society has become so dark that people even forgot we live in one. How cool is this idea?

If there was an award for being the cringiest on the internet, this post would surely get it. Apparently, someone tried to get very deep and make it seem as though tobacco is ‘food for broken souls.’

We can’t fathom this at all! This is how the internet can manipulate people to take up bad habits, creating a romanticized view of a product that’s solely responsible for hurting people in the long run! This product is only good for one thing, and that’s making sure you don’t live a long life. Teenagers should consider this before getting involved with an ugly habit.

It’s safe to say that with age, our perception of things around us changes – shaping us and making us more mature and intelligent. We might watch a movie or hear a song at one stage of our lives, only to see it in a completely different light later on in life.

But when you are seven years old, it is unlikely that your thoughts about something are going to drastically change by the time you are nine. Exhibit A.

It’s funny how in this day and age, so many of us are so trigger happy with the cameras on our phones and will take photos of virtually everything in life. Whether it is a nice looking salad or a selfie of us sunbathing by the pool, everything is deemed as photo-worthy.

But you know what actually was worth taking photos of? That’s right folks, the first time a man landed on the moon. Sadly, only five photos were taken of this heroic feat.

Amazingly, we live in a time when even the way people get dumped ends up getting broadcasted on social media. Despite this being an intensely personal moment that most people would want to keep to themselves, this person felt the need to share the moment that their boyfriend broke up with them.

Even more so, they had to make the point of showing the exchange of messages, as well as the tears that fell on the screen of their smartphone.

Sadly, comedy and humor are taking a turn for the worst in today’s current climate. Due to the outrage culture that we live in, in which virtually anything can be offensive and cause someone to get canceled, comedians left, right, and center are worried about what they can say.

They are paranoid that they will get fired if they say the wrong thing. This animation clearly shows the direction that comedy is going in.

Don’t you think it’s kind of arbitrary what society dictates as normal and what is not? Truth be told, fashion is constantly changing. What might be considered strange and out of the ordinary one year might be the absolute norm the next.

Here is an animation that shows how powerful perspective can be. These two people look at each other in completely different ways. While the woman with the blue hair is being accused of not being normal, she doesn’t see that as a bad thing.

Actually, we take that back. This is not a good point. Sure, one might be inclined to subscribe to this idea and actually agree with it, but not us. At the end of the day, pointing the finger at someone only means one thing.

The rest of your fingers are not doing any kind of pointing. They’re scrunched up inside your palm and have no intention of accusing anyone else except for the person in front of you.

At times, it feels like the machines are gradually taking over. Of course, our constant need to rely on gadgets, computers, and phones has a huge part to play in that. This animation perfectly encapsulates just how dependent we have been getting on tech over the last quarter of a century.

We don’t know if anyone actually needs that many monitors. There is certainly a little bit of hyperbole going on here. But they certainly make a good point!

Here is another chilling image of how technology is ruining our lives in a variety of ways, especially our relationships. And while this image has been making the rounds online over the last few years, it is the comment below this image that seems to flip the idea on its head.

Someone felt the need to speak in favor of technology, making the point that in actuality, all of these wonderful things are enriching our lives.

The following post seems to have multiple layers of humor attached to it. Firstly, the image of the Emo guy must be absolutely sincere. Then, someone attached the following speech bubble to the image. Then, someone comments on it with the caption above before posting it on Reddit.

This is what qualifies as quality online content these days – people just regurgitating other people’s stuff and changing the tone of it with their own insights.

Sometimes, people take things way too far and want to put human characteristics on nonhuman images. Take this scenario for example, where someone was quick to analyze the dynamics of a relationship between an animated match and their candle counterpart.

It just goes to show how bored people are these days that they no longer have time to deal with real-life relationships. Or, we could just concede that this thread is actually kind of funny.

Where are the ’90s emo kids? We guess they’re cringing after seeing this particular post. Emo music saw its days of thunder during the ’90s. Remember all your friends wearing all black and layers of mascara?

Huh, simpler times. The emo era is long gone. But, with My Chemical Romance being reunited once again, the emo people are finally waking up and emerging! The only downside? Somebody was too lazy enough to spell words! Talk about ruining a good mood!

The list would not be complete without mention of Kanye West. Kanye has always provided quality content, be it cringe-worthy or deep. This Halloween, he dropped this hilarious post on Twitter and the internet went crazy.

This philosophy comes from his ingenious mind — the only time people are not wearing costumes is during Halloween. Roll your eyes as much as you want, you can’t deny Kanye’s sense of humor!

This one went adorably deep! The message is pretty simple here. Once, we were more interested in playing with real toys and dolls. Who remembers playing frisbees and action figures? Now, it’s difficult to even find toys.

Some toy companies even shut down their operations due to this. This fellow Tumblr poster tried to depict the void through this post. The only problem? We’re too distracted by the cat! The cat actually looks very irritated with phones. We’ve got to learn a lot from our feline friends.

Google has taken over our lives! From making us experts through a few searches to becoming our tour companion with Google Maps — we can’t free ourselves from the web. Google Translate is a new favorite among many now.

This post accurately shows how addicted we are to the entire G-Suite! Apparently, these G-Suite applications are like pills. It’s true though, right? Pills are actually an understatement. At this point, we depend on Google as if it’s oxygen.

Success demands pain, but not in this way! This hilarious post had a great message. Only downside? The choice obstacle. So, the Redditor tried to portray struggles through knives. The only thing he forgot is that knives also have blunt sides!

What’s more embarrassing is that someone chose to remind him to just flip the ladder. Well, we guess there’s a new lesson here — work smart to attain success, not too hard to injure!
