50 Funny Science Memes For The Brainiacs
By Author Lucas Anthony Hunt

Categories Humor
I know, I know, science is serious business. Science labs aren’t typically where memes and other viral nuggets are created, but rather where very smart people research and examine how things in the universe work before presenting it to us lesser folk.
But who says we can’t have both, the scientific truth and a good laugh? The scientific spin on popular memes is, of course, no substitute for actually studying these subjects, but it might make you feel smarter, especially if you’re fluent in geek.
Anyway, I’ve been in the meme business for a long time now, and I don’t take this lightly, so I can confirm that the science-related memes are the best memes.
So, without further ado, here’s your list of the funniest ones from the nerdiest minds on the Internet that will either make you laugh or scratch your head. Enjoy!

30 Hilarious Science Memes That Don’t Require A PhD
A lot of us probably imagine the scientific world as a bunch of dead serious smart people running around in white coats, mixing various chemicals in their beakers, and speaking in terms you can’t even begin to comprehend. And while that may be true in some cases, the reality is that scientific community is pretty laid back – and has a great sense of humor too. But don’t just take my word for it – just take a look at the collection of memes shared in the Science Memes subreddit, and I’m sure you’ll be convinced.
The subreddit in question has nearly 60k members who regularly share the funniest scientific memes that don’t take a scientist to appreciate. Check out some of the best ones in the gallery below, and if you’re looking for more funny science-related content, see our earlier posts here and here !

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
