Not all humor fits neatly into a punchline. Some of it crashes through the door without knocking—messy, unpredictable, and wildly entertaining. While some folks lean toward dad jokes or sharp-edged commentary, others thrive on the absurd: memes that seem to exist purely to make you squint, laugh, or both. Social media has turned this style of humor into a thriving subculture, where randomness isn’t just welcome—it’s celebrated.

At first glance, these memes look like chaos with a filter. But the truth is, randomness taps into something primal in our brains. After scrolling through endless “perfect” photos, stumbling across a picture of, say, a stuffed penguin riding a lawnmower feels like a reset button. That sudden What am I looking at? moment pulls you out of autopilot and keeps you glued to the feed.

The word “meme” wasn’t born online. It was coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. He described memes as self-replicating units of cultural information—ideas, styles, or habits that spread through imitation. The Greek root mimema means “something imitated.” Fast-forward to today, and the term is synonymous with funny internet content, yet its reach is far deeper.

Memes have morphed from simple image macros to an ever-changing digital language. Formats change, humor shifts, and what’s funny today might be stale in a month. But one thing never changes: relatability. Whether you’re creating a one-liner about morning coffee struggles or an elaborate visual pun, the fastest way to connect is by tapping into something your audience knows, feels, or has lived through.

Not everyone gets absurd humor—and that’s okay. For some, randomness is refreshing, a welcome break from predictable jokes. For others, it’s just… confusing. That’s the gamble. But if you’re playing the long game, even polarizing content can grow your reach because it sparks conversation. And conversation keeps your posts in circulation longer, boosting both organic visibility and ad exposure.

It’s not enough to be weird—you have to be weird in a way that still connects. That could mean taking an everyday object and placing it in an absurd context or combining two unrelated concepts for comedic effect. Think of it like seasoning: randomness is the spice, but relatability is the main dish.
Absurd, random memes may never appeal to everyone, but that’s part of their magic. They shake up your feed, make you laugh without warning, and keep you curious for what’s next.
