35 Funny Thanksgiving Memes to Lighten the Mood on Turkey Day
"No, I can't eat another bite. Wait… is that pie?" 😂
Now, don’t get us wrong. We love Thanksgiving, but it can be a little stressful. From the pressure of pulling off a perfectly cooked 20-pound turkey to the logistics of getting all the time-honored family recipes, from the pies to the sides, on the table, well, it’s a lot. Sometimes it helps to let off a little steam, and cracking up the whole family with silly Thanksgiving jokes and funny Thanksgiving memes is a healthy way to do it.
From fried turkey debacles to Thanksgiving Instagram cliches to Grandma’s secret ingredient for mashed potatoes, these hilarious memes from around the web cover it all. We’ve even rounded up Turkey Day renditions of the always-classic Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl” and Kevin Hart reaction memes.
Feeling more stuffed than the turkey after the feast? (Hey, we hear ya!) We've included after-Thanksgiving memes featuring adorably “chonky” animals that capture the sentiment exactly. And if you are texting greetings to friends, there’s nothing like a Happy Thanksgiving meme to brighten everybody’s holiday, even if you can’t celebrate with them in person.
Now, who's ready for the best Thanksgiving memes of all time? Me-me-me-me!
