15 Terrible Memes That Are Still Better Than Watching The News

While we like to believe all meme creators are trying to make us smile, there are quite a few who are only in it for karma and likes, and their memes can be a little awkward, to say the least. Cringeworthy memes are ones that make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed to say them out loud. They're often associated with inside jokes (like ones you might share with your friends) or just things that you wouldn't normally say out loud unless you were trying to be funny (think "your momma so fat" jokes).
