So you know that big-ass boat that ball-blocked itself on the Suez? Well, the Internet is stuck in a collective chuckle over all the funny memes making waves around the world!
We can’t help but laugh at the most ridiculous sitcom plot in history. Even the universe couldn’t make this stuff up:
The largest cargo ship in the world, a tight canal, a random gust of wind, and one tiny digger faced with impossible odds.
1. Has anyone tried this old trick yet?
I mean, why haven’t they busted out the jumbo-sized canisters of WD-40? All it needs is a squirt or two and there’ll be a slippery oil slick so big the
Exxon Valdez would get jealous!
2. Can you find the hidden object in this picture?
If X marks the spot, then why is it so impossibly hard to find? It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
3. Think your life sucks?
Then you have everything to be grateful for today. ‘Cause you’re not the poor sod who captained this boat into internet meme infamy!
4. The little digger that could
Remember that children’s book,
The Little Engine That Could? Looks like it was just a covert training manual for the day our boss would give us an impossible deadline to beat.
5. “My ambitious plan to free the boat is to push a huge cotton swab up the canal.”
Best plan ever! Maybe if you nudge it with a used cotton swab, the extra wax will help it float better. Just sayin’.
6. The mountain vs the molehill
Ugh, it’s not even close to making a dent! Can’t they see that more diggers is better?
7. Ever feel like things aren’t really moving along?
Chaz Hutton fancies himself a bit of a comic strip artist, so he drew his very own meme instead of hijacking photos like everyone else.
“Today’s Comic: We are all, in our own little way, that ship.”
8. Whew, that was a close call!
That’s what they get for being in such a rush and trying to take the shortest route around the world! If only the fools had listened to the traffic reporter that morning.
Back in the 80’s it was the United States vs the U.S.S.R. Today, it’s the 21st century’s version of David vs Goliath, where a gust of wind is the wild card!
10. Therapy at its finest
Daily inspiration from everyone’s favorite little digger: Ever feel like that daily walk around the block doesn’t do jack for your mood? Well quit trying, ’cause it’s hopeless!
11. Feeling lazy, maybe I’ll go to the Cape!
In other news, the Cape of Good Hope is experiencing an unexpected boom in its oft-neglected cargo-shipping tourism industry.
@AriaCallaghan:
“They’re actually doing it! Ever Given has been there so long that they’re actually going around the Cape of Good Hope like 1700s scurvy patients, oh my god.”
12. The sitch on the Suez has now escalated to new horrific heights!
[In that deep movie narrator’s voice]:
Coming soon to a tiny little canal near you…
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, it’s 2020: The Sequel! Bigger and badder monsters have risen from the depths of last year to raise gas prices and hold your Peleton hostage.
Don’t even think of watching this alone, or you’ll be screaming for yo’ mama and cheap Chinese-made goods in your sleep!
13. Maybe care just a little bit more, please?
You know how some people think that your outward reality is just a reflection of what’s going on inside? Guess the boat must have been having a really bad day!
14. “I am once again asking you for a bigger excavator.”
Thanks Bernie Sanders, you are truly a man for the people! And also for all the little diggers out there that really need a 4th stimulus check!
15. So that’s where the Cap’n got his inspiration from
Geez, those Tik-Tok kids are always trying to do what they see in the movies. That 100-point turn that Austin Powers did should have come with a “do not try this at home” warning.
Well, it said go right so he went right…into both banks of the Suez. Like Forrest Gump famously said, “stupid is as stupid does.”
So true! It takes forever to get your body whipped into shape unless you’re working out 24/7.
18. Taking a cue from Disney’s UP…
Hey, if it worked in the movies it can work in real life too, right? They just need some cute killer whales to help push it up from the bottom and they’ll finally be able to free Willy!
Totally relatable! Sometimes you need more than two beers to deal with this B.S.
Ever feel like you’re not making any headway with your inbox? No matter how much you get rid of, it fills up with more junk the digger you deep!
Boat poetry at its finest. Dr. Suezz would be proud of the amateur attempt at rhyme!
Want to look like Mr. Ever Given, but can’t afford to get stuck in debt? Then raid those cargo containers for the most colorful striped jacket you can find, and match it with a pair of knock-off Dolce & Gabbana trousers.
23. Now it’ll take 4 months to get to you
Remember when we used to make jokes about our stuff being on the slow boat from China? Little did we know it’s actually a real thing.
Last year all the cool kids were turning campervans into tiny road trip homes. This year it’s all about the container ship conversions!
25. “No amount of spinach is EVER enough.”
Even Popeye would agree to that! Maybe someone should try eating a can of spinch to get forearms big enough to move this thing?
26. Look at it from a different perspective
At least your mistake isn’t so big that astronauts are laughing at you from space! There’s always that.
27. Yeah, but will it make any money?
It’s the straight-to-HBO Max release that no one wanted to see this summer! Kong and ‘Zilla are working together to bring peace and harmony and Peleton’s to all of mankind.
Some problems are just so big that it’s just too hard to make it right anymore. But, you gotta save some face and look like you’re trying.
29. Can’t be that easy, can it?
Just right-click and rotate it clockwise 90 degrees. I mean, if it can make stuff on Instagram look real, then it’s worth a shot.
30. Are you that one guy?
Hey, it’s not funny when it’s actually true! But it’s easy sailing when you’re the one chillin’ on the boat.
31. Was he under highway hypnosis?
I mean, if the sign says you can, why not? It could be a fun diversion to make the trip less boring.
32. Do it the skaterz way
Just build a launch ramp and pop a bunch of Dramamine pills before you hit air. It makes life more fun!
33. It hits really close to home
Yep, that about sums it up! Can’t have a proper meme party unless there’s at least one cute dog involved.
The Ever Given desperately needs another ship to keep it company. Won’t you please help a marooned brother out?
35. It’s never too late for laughs…
But, that ship has finally sailed! It was certainly a fun diversion while it lasted though, right?
