Here’s my favorite. More sad than funny, but still funny.

Somebody needs to get laid…

He’s not wrong though. During various “lockdowns” in the UK at least, it’s been basically illegal to have sex with someone who doesn’t live in the same house.

The COVID-19 vaccine is so awesome, it works when hardly anybody has even had their first dose:

Who said Germans have no sense of humour?

There’s another funny one here:

Addressing the point in the video, people will say, “huh, she’s missed the point, the science evolves and in time we find out what works and what doesn’t”. Which is true. But the politicians don’t say that. They don’t say “Here’s what we suspect is true today, and we’re suggesting that you do this and this”. Instead, they present their silly policies as based on hard fact, and people then become confused and cynical when it turns out that they were just taking a guess (or making stuff up) and hollering “science” to give their opinions legitimacy.

How is that funny?

This thread came about a year ago when like 70% of the memes were about COVID, and some people were complaining that they didn’t want to be reminded of it every time they clicked the regular ‘Funny Pictures’ thread. I feel like now this thread is just occasionally bumped to make some super unfunny point about vaccines or something from the usual gang of anti-vac posters, and most of the other memes about life in a post-Covid world are slipping back into the normal ‘Funny Pictures’ thread. So maybe it’s time to retire this thread.

You see no humor in people wearing masks where they’re totally unnecessary…and even possibly detrimental?

I wasn’t replying to you.

Since we’re on the subject, whether I agree with the point or not, I wouldn’t say it’s a gut buster. You can do better. But you weren’t the one I was thinking of when I made that post.

Ha, I guess I assumed because it came directly after my post.

I actually quite liked it. But humor is subjective of course. I’ll strive to do better in the future.

I had a draft and then finished it later, so I think that’s why. I’ll give you a hint; he has the same name as something you blow out candles on once a year.

let’s keep this thread alive

:thinking:

Quit living in the past, man! :grandpa:

I agree it’s funny. I also agree it’s “not a gut buster”. Maybe we should have a separate thread of photos that are not necessarily funny but still good/interesting photos of life in the age of Covid.
