There’s been all sorts of hysteria and stress coming from the pandemic that’s spread throughout the world faster than the actual virus itself. But when it comes down to it all, we need to remember that all of us hold the key for the best cure to anything – humor.
Smiling and laughing is the best medicine, and we’ve found some of the most hilarious and relatable quarantine memes from Twitter that will have all your sorrows and stresses cured in no time!
Quarantine & Chill for One, Please!
Let’s be honest – the world is run by extroverts. It’s not that introverts aren’t capable; they just prefer to run it all from behind-the-scenes and keep to themselves in the background is all. But it looks like this apocalypse has brought on a new version of the world – a quieter, more reserved, bashful side. Sure, there’s option to hop on apps like Zoom, Skype, and House party to socialize from afar, but the introverts have been enjoying the fact that none of that is necessary or expected.
Can you say “Quarantine & Chill for one, please!”?
Blair Socci’s Comical Corona Comedy
There’s nothing like getting the perfect amount of beauty sleep to get you ready for a full day of self-quarantined fun. Right?
But if we’re being totally honest, it’s clear that comedian Blair Socci has been up to a whole lot more than just wondering out the window and keeping up with proper hygiene these days.
Perhaps she comes up with these ideas while she’s staring out into the world, but her Twitter page is full of hysterical and entertaining tweets about her “struggles” and thoughts about dealing with this epic pandemic. Talk about some comical Corona comedy!
Social Distancing vs. Distance Socializing
There’s been a few “new” slangs and terminology that’s been thrown around recently that might be a bit confusing. Like the difference between “Social Distancing” (great for introverts) and “Distant Socializing” (great for extroverts).
“Social Distancing” is the act of limiting your physical contact with people, socially – whether that’s meetings, group hang-outs, or parties. But in our case with the Coronavirus pandemic, it basically means to stay away from being social. But “Distant Socializing” is a means to stay social with people, through a distance, via digital or social media!
Stocking-Up Standards
With all the hysteria of Corona-chaos and self-quarantine regulations and updates coming out every few days, it’s no surprise that people have been rushing to the stores to stock up on food and supplies.
The problem is that the majority of us have got the “stock-up standards” all wrong. We’re not really in an apocalypse and the supermarkets aren’t going to shut down. So, let’s stay away from the canned spam, save us all some money and time at the store, and only buy things we will for sure eat! And, of course, splurging here and there on fun treats and snacks is highly recommended to keep your spirits up.
A Shameless, Snarky, Empathetic Thought About Exes
One thing that’s been spreading around the world more quickly than the epic epidemic of Coronavirus itself, is compassion and empathy. Because even if we’re all in different boats, we’re all in this together, simultaneously battling through the same waves.
But we love how the Shameless actress, Emmy Rossum, has shown absolutely no shame for her snarky, yet empathetic remark about all her exes who are probably struggling with the fact that they can’t just order-in some take-out.
An Increase in Food Intake
Earlier, we touched on “Stock-Up Standards” when shopping at the supermarket. But has anyone else noticed an increase in their hunger and food intake lately?
Not sure if because we’re all just a bit bored, or if because we’re stress-eating, but we need to remember that the whole reason for why we’ve all stocked-up for two-weeks-worth of food, is because we have two weeks to eat it all. Whoops!
Pandemic pro-tip: Keeping up a routine of eating three meals a day, with snacks in between, will help balance out how much you’re eating, as well as, help you figure out just how many groceries to actually shop for.
From 6-8 Hours of Quality Time to 24 Hours
It’s sort of a weird concept to think about, but now that we’re all locked-up with the pandemic shut-down and quarantine, you’re probably spending much more time with our loved ones than you normally do.
Especially if you’re working typical 9-5 jobs — 1/3 of the day goes to working, (hopefully) another 1/3 goes to sleeping, and that leaves the final 1/3 for a balance of “me-time” and “family-time”.
But now that we’re placed together at home with our families for 24 hours straight, we’re sure the majority of you are getting to know your loved ones on a whole new level! And it looks like this sports star can relate!
The #1 Rule of Coronavirus Prevention
What’s the one thing that’s been super enforced ever since this whole entire fiasco began? No, not buy more toilet paper. Practice basic hygiene and wash your hands! And if you ever forget this simple rule of prevention, don’t worry! This Twitter user has created a catchy, amusing acronym from the words “Corona Virus”.
What he doesn’t go over is how long you should be washing your hands for. While restaurants might not be allowed to sing the actual version of “Happy Birthday” to their customers, we sure are allowed to sing it at home. Sing it twice in a row to get the full 20 seconds of scrubbing done. Either that or Queen Bey’s “Love on Top” will do.
Hold in Those Coughs and Sneezes Season-Change Victims
It’s one thing to start becoming a germaphobe and creating fake symptoms from your recent psychosomatic tendencies, but the incredible superstar model and actress Brooklyn Decker’s words of advice are both hilarious and brilliant!
If you so much as start to sniffle from the cold or cough to clear your throat in public, you’re targeted as an immediate carrier of the Coronavirus.
It’s bad enough that all this chaos hit us at the beginning of the year, but now that it’s become a pandemic during the season change? Yikes!
So, anybody who’s sneezing or coughing from their congested sinuses due to allergies should tread carefully.
A Precious Pup Who’s in the Mood to Shop
Sometimes no words are needed. This is absolutely adorable and hysterically hilarious at the same time!
But seriously, what can we say? Although it’s been rough that everyone in the world is at risk to catch COVID-19, we’re happy to know that so far there hasn’t been any indication that our fur babies can get the virus. We hope that this precious pup made sure to pick up some extra treats and food for himself on the way, too!
Corona Beer and Coronavirus Are Not Related
Just to be clear, we know that there are some people out there who believe that Coronavirus is coming from the Corona Beer. But we’re here to clarify that the two aren’t related at all.
Everyone’s favorite Hollywood couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were both infected with Coronavirus while in Australia – oh no! But don’t worry, the two are getting better, and they have been keeping things positive and actively posting all sorts of funny tweets and posts like this one, on their social media accounts. Cheers to their recovery!
Who’s Actually to Blame, 2019 or 2020?
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a decade since the legendary and iconic Dick Clark passed away. But the remarkable and adored Ryan Seacrest has taken over for the famous New Year’s Eve countdown, and done a joyous job at it!
But is he capable of doing more than that? Who knows, perhaps he does have a secret power and can fast forward time to after all of the Corona Chaos is over.
But to be fair, the virus is called COVID-19 because it was discovered in 2019 (COrona VIrus Disease, 2019). So perhaps this isn’t really the fault of 2020, but just the final punch that 2019 decided to throw at us all.
Curious Cats That Climb and Cuddle on Keyboards
Some of us have been able to enjoy the Coronacation without any worries of working. Doing some early Spring-cleaning, picking up some new creative skills with keeping yourself busy with arts & crafts, or just taking advantage of binging some new Netflix shows.
But for those of us who still work from home, some of the struggles have been real – especially if we’ve got a curious little kitty confused as to why we’re at home and not paying attention to them. Whether they’re playing with our computer mouse as if it’s a real one, or just climbing on top of you and your laptop, just know that we feel you.
#Forever29
The clever and funny writer Jonny Sun had some funny words to share about staying forever young… at least for the time being. While our 30s might be the new 20s, deep down, being “29” still seems to be the perfect age for both men and women! As Schmidt from New Girl would enthusiastically cheer: “TWENTY-NINE!”
But really, for anyone who’s celebrating their birthday in the upcoming weeks, we gotta say that we just love Sun’s silly loophole for holding off on turning older just a little longer due to the Coronavirus quarantine regulations.

Generous and Hilarious DeGeneres Keeping Herself Busy with “Work”
If there’s one person we’d want to be stuck in quarantine with, the amazingly generous and hilarious Ellen DeGeneres is definitely on that list! She never ceases to amaze us with her quick, witty, comments and jokes.
It’s good to know that she’s still keeping herself busy and hard at “work” from home. We wonder how that pretend interview with Cher went…
And just as a heads up for those of you who haven’t caught onto the viral “Heads Up” game on the House party app that everyone’s talking about, it’s one of the best ways to keep yourself busy with “distant socializing”.
An Existential, Yet Entertaining Epiphany
Blondie Wasabi’s gotten philosophical on us now, but this Twitter user shared with us an existentially entertaining epiphany.
The transition might’ve taken a couple of weeks or months, but when it all comes down to it, within an extremely short and fast period of time, our day-to-day lives changed completely. Social construct is something totally subjective to our realities, both in the workforce & economy, as well as, in regards to social & human interaction. Basically, it exists because humans agree that it exists. Deep, right?
Living the Life of an Introvert
If anyone ever wondered what your introvert friends and anti-social workmates do on the weekends, well… We’re all basically living it now.
Staying at home, cuddling up on the couch with a nice cup of tea and munchies, cleaning up the place to refresh our souls, overthinking and overanalyzing the world and their personal lives, glazing over the internet and laughing at all the hilarious and brilliant memes that the creative people of the world.
Sure, it might lack a bit of human interaction, but they know how to keep themselves busy and aren’t afraid of some good ‘ol “me-time”.
Team Meetings, Brady Bunch Style
Here’s a story, of a lovely lady… Well, not quite. This is more a meme of employees working remotely.
Team video chats aren’t something new – if you’re a freelancer, or someone who works remotely from home/a different state or country in general, then video conferences are something you’re familiar or comfortable with.
And for those of you that are now working from home for the foreseeable future, you can join in on the band-wagon and enjoy taking hilarious screen shots of your “Brady Bunch” styled team meetings from the comfort of your own couch!
Vanessa Carlton Makes Her Way Home, Anywhere but Downtown, And in Less Than 1,000 Miles
This tweet is absolutely hilarious if you’re a Vanessa Carlton fan. She definitely hit a home-run with this one!
For those of you who don’t get it, don’t worry. If we could play you the intro to her song, “A Thousand Miles”, we would… But instead we’ll just recite you the first verse of lyrics in hopes that you can sing-a-long to yourself at home: “Makin’ my way downtown, walkin’ fast, faces pass, and I’m homebound. Starin’ blankly ahead, just makin’ my way, makin’ a way through the crowd.”
It’s safe to say that she’s definitely homebound like the rest of us, but she’s probably taking some shortcuts now to avoid any crowds to get there.
Did You Try Turning It Off and On Again?
Have you ever called someone from IT to help you out? Whether it’s troubles with your internet or a device, what’s the very first thing that they ask you? “Did you try turning it off and on again?”
Hey, it’s okay, not all of us are as tech-savvy as we think. That’s why IT folks have the jobs that they do!
We just hope that this girl’s professor has his IT specialist on speed-dial, but it sounds to us that his issues might be a little more complex than some simple trouble-shooting.
A Fish-Eye’s View to the World
What’s been getting us through all this Corona-chaos are all the funny memes and creative ways people have come up with entertaining the world sans human interaction. Staying at home for days at a time can make you a little stir-crazy. But inspiration and creativity always come in the most unexpected time – and even more so, in the most unexpected ways.
While we might not be able to go out and about in the world and take selfies at our favorite landmarks until further notice, at least we can still take funny pictures of the window! Afterall, they are like the eyes to the world. Right?
A New Take on the “Freshmen 15”
While school’s been cancelled for all ages, that means house and dorm parties at universities have been cancelled and banned, too. So instead of gaining the “Freshmen 15” from pizza and beer during your first year at college, people have been trying to compensate with a new universal rule: “Corona 15”.
There’s plenty of ways to stay healthy and work-out from home which we totally support! But we also understand that some of us have been stress-eating during these dire times. Technically, you can still even gain it from guzzling down cups of beer (even Corona beer, as we mentioned earlier has nothing to do with the virus), but probably hold off on ordering delivered pizza just to be safe.
Shout Out to the Home Bodies For Keeping Us Positive
It’s people like this that will keep the people who don’t know how to cope with being at home, strong. For those of us who are fortunate enough to actually find some peace and joy in all of this Corona-chaos, we tip out hats to you!
Shout out to all the homebodies and introverts who are showing just what it’s like to take some time to chill out and relax at home. There’s a reason why the phrase “There’s no place like home” is a cliché. And for those of you – even if it seems a bit cynical — who don’t have a comfortable set-up, then now’s the perfect time to get your house in order and do some rearranging!
Pounds and Pounds of Pasta
For those of you who love cooking, but haven’t had much time to with your busy lives and schedules – cheers and bottoms up to the foreseeable future! For those of you who might not be iron chefs in the kitchen like this Twitter user seems to be, then get ready to be making a whole lot of pasta! The plus side is that there’s a myriad of amazing cooking videos and recipes online. It’s never too late to learn something new, and now is the time to brush up on those culinary skills you left back at Home-Ec in high school.
If Patrick and SpongeBob Were Your Neighbors During Quarantine
I think all of us can relate to this one. What we can’t say with our words, our beloved SpongeBob SquarePants has said perfectly with his facial expression.
Speaking of which… We can only imagine what life would be like for Squidward during these times in quarantine. Patrick and SpongeBob might be keeping their distance, but you know they’d find some form and way to bother poor, old clarinet playing Squidward with their shenanigans. Hopefully none of you out there have roommates or neighbors like that!
Friends Theme Song: Coronapocalypse Edition
For those of you who are Friends fanatics, then there shouldn’t be much need for this explanation! How clever is this re-write of the theme song lyrics, though! We’re glad to see that this beloved ‘90s sitcom is still living well and strong around the world!
However, if you’re not well-versed on the lyrics to the theme song, then here’s a cheat sheet for you:
“So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke
Your love life’s D.O.A
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but…
I’ll be there for you”
Fist Bump, Sad Face, Crying Sad Face
Oh man, this meme might hit just a little too close to home as it’s just as funny as it is heart-breaking. Can anyone else relate to the extreme emotional changes shifting each day that this quarantine goes on for? Sometimes, words just aren’t enough to express how you feel. If we could share to you our reaction to this hilariously relatable Tweet through emojis, it would probably go something like this…
Meet Your New Co-Worker
We’ve talked about how our curious cats climb all over the keyboard, play around with the computer mouse as if it’s a real one, and/or just try to replace your computer on your lap with their cuddly cute fluffy selves. But it’s no secret that our adorable cats know how to be just as equally annoying. Right? At the end of the day, though, all of us crazy cat folks are pretty psyched to be able to call our cuddly kitties “co-workers”.
Conan’s Coronavirus Safety Precautions: Practicing 4 out of 5 Love Languages
Well, it looks like legendary show host and comedian Conan O’Brien is all set for the Coronapocalypse and all the new regulations and rules that comes with it! Just like all of the home-bodies that haven’t felt too much of a drastic shift in their lives, it looks like the O’Brien family hasn’t seen much either!
There are five different love languages, and showing affection is just one of them! But if you’re not like Conan, maybe now’s the time to try out and practice other languages of “Words of Affirmation”, “Acts of Service”, “Receiving Gifts”, And “Quality Time” together!
Digital Spring-Cleaning Your E-mails
Let’s be real – there’s two types of people in this world. The kind that have a spick-and-span, perfectly organized list of e-mails, and those who have tons of unread e-mails and messages just waiting to be deleted.
From all of those sites you signed up to to get that extra 10% off for shipping to chain e-mails you received back in the day, now’s the time to do some digital Spring-cleaning. Don’t you think? A clean home page makes for a clear mind.
Now’s the Time to Learn How to Cook
Timing is everything, even with an apocalypse at play. But one of the wonders that all of this Corona-chaos has unlocked is how incredible our online and digital resources have been.
Sure, it’s a struggle to be stuck at home and not know how to cook, but there’s the wondrous world-wide-web at the tips of our fingers to help out with that! Plus, our 20s are meant for making mistakes, right? This girl has still got one more year and plenty of time now for some kitchen trial and errors at home.
Dealing with the Trauma of Teenage Years
We know that 2020 might not have gotten off to the best start, but we want to remind you all that the first case of Coronavirus and the spread actually started in 2019. If anything, 2020 has been doing whatever it could to contain the damage done from the 2010s’ last punch of the decade.
The millennia is now in its 20s, so it’s time to start repairing all of the trauma that was caused during its teenage years. Basically, now’s not the time to give up! We still have hope for the ‘20s decade, even if the world of Twitter doesn’t.
Hatin’ on Meetings, But Missin’ on That Human Interaction
Work meetings can be a nice break in the day, but deep down we all secretly dislike them. Why? Because a lot of the time it’s just half an hour of chatter that could have been said in a couple of sentences written in an e-mail. And although we might be hatin’ on those meetings and are glad that whatever important messages the company wants to give us can be sent and received via e-mail, now that we’re all in quarantine, we’re sure some of us are starting to miss that little bit of social interaction.
Receiving E-mails from Places We Visited That One Time
We mentioned earlier that a clean home page and folders in your e-mail account make for a clear mind. But it’s pretty hilarious to see all the lengths restaurants and other companies are willing to go to just to reach out to the community. What can we say? A for effort and consideration? Even if it’s an automated e-mail, at least it’s nice to know that there is still someone out there who has forgotten about us. Right?
“The Chronicles of the Epic Coronavirus”
We think it’s quite fitting to tell the tale of COVID-19 as spoof of a Christmas tale. After all, the pandemic all started around the holiday season. In a few years, or even decades, all of this Corona-chaos will be a tale we will tell our kids and grandkids, full of selfies with masks at the empty supermarkets and funny memes posted on social media. Yes, we can see it now, crystal clear. The Chronicles of the Epic Coronavirus Quarantine.
When Your Cat Tries to Be You
The number of silly things cats do is literally countless. If you’re a cat owner, then you probably know that every single day your cat somehow, someway finds something new and hilarious to surprise you with. It’s baffling and incredible at the same time! If you don’t have one of these amazing creatures at home to call a “co-worker”, and you’re looking for a mood-booster, then we’re happy to tell you that there’s plenty of hilarious cat videos and memes out there to cheer you up!
Are You For or Against 2020?
What can we say? We’re still rooting for 2020 to take a positive spin any day now! However, we do have to say amen, sister! We are all sick of (or with, yikes!) Coronavirus. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your age, how much money is in your bank accounts, we’re all going through the same surreal “disaster” together, all over the world.
The world is still our oyster, and we’re still in control of how we handle situations. So, choosing to look at the positives and trying your best to stay strong in these hard times is something not to overlook.
Living in an Episode of “Black Mirror”
This one is a bit of dark humor, which we also love! For those of you who aren’t Black Mirror loving maniacs, then all you need to know is that the show is all about surreal, twisted version of reality that actually is possible in our reality.
So what TV personality Meghan McCain is trying to get at here, is that all of this Corona-chaos is something that would only happen in the movies or in a series like Black Mirror.
