50 hilarious Thanksgiving memes that perfectly sum up glutenous holiday

Thanksgiving is a beautiful holiday. It’s a day where we get together with family and reflect upon all blessings in our life. It’s also a day where, as Oscar from The Office would say, we can pig out in the name of the ceremony.

The original Thanksgiving was centered around eating. The first Thanksgiving is said to have been an autumn feast shared between Pilgrims new to America and the local Native American tribe. You can learn more about the origins of Thanksgiving here.

Now, we use the day to talk about the things we’re thankful for and eat way too much. It’s also a day where we fend off questions from intrusive relatives and try to not get into fights over politics. So, Thanksgiving just might be the funniest holiday yet.

Here are 50 of the funniest Thanksgiving memes we have the internet to thank for:

1) Wait…

Corporate America loves to shove holidays down our throat before we’re ready. People get crazy with the Christmas music way too early. Can we at least have Thanksgiving first?

2) The Relatives

Thanksgiving is day we often spend with family. Most of the times that’s a good thing. But sometimes we have to entertain those relatives that are just a bit weird. Dare I say creepy.

3) Dog’s Favorite Holiday

Thanksiving is man’s best friend’s favorite holiday. That’s because there are always lots of leftovers. And often it’s food that is puppy friendly like turkey.

4) Dinner’s Ready

We hold our appetites all day long waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. And when the call to come eat finally comes… we run. Get out my way… I’m making my plate.

5) Microwave My Turkey

This person just learned the hard way that you can’t microwave a turkey. His mom wasn’t even about to entertain such nonsense. Three years… it takes three years, son.

6) What Calories?

Everyone knows that calories don’t count on Thanksgiving. So, why bother counting them? It might just be fun to see if you can crash your calorie counting app though.

7) Chicken For Thanksgiving

Some people opt for chicken instead of turkey on Thanksgiving. And we all know what sound chickens make. And if their sounds had a face… this is what it would look like.

8) Thanksgiving Movies Exist

We have Halloween movies, Easter movies, and, of course, Christmas movies. But did you know there are Thanksgiving movies too? Spider-Man totally counts.

9) The Dishes

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is the fun part. But I pity the person who has to do the dishes. There isn’t anything fun about that.

10) The Truth About Stuffing

This may seem harsh. But, it’s the truth. Stuffing is delicious so I don’t care.

11) Invasive Question Deflection

Relatives love to ask personal questions. Are you seeing anyone? When are you going to get married? How much money are you making? You must prepare yourself to deflect these questions before Thanksgiving so you’re ready for that barage of questioning.

12) Too Much

If you don’t overeat on Thanksgiving, then what the hell are you doing? It’s great to be healthy and be mindful of what you eat. But blowing your diet is well worth it on Thanksgiving.

13) Nom

This bird lost his leg in “Nom.” Technically it’s “Nom, nom, nom.” Get it? #DadJokes

14) We Ready

This is how you strut into Grandma’s for Thanksgiving. Ready to serve. Ready with your eating pants on and belly out.

15) That Relative

You know THAT relative. The one who is just straight up rude and don’t know how to act right. It’s best to just ignore them. The alternative: have some fierce comebacks.

16) I’m Thankful For Statuses

It’s nice to reflect on what your thankful for. And if you feel the need to post about it on social media… do you. But it can be bit much.

17) Jumping Turkeys

This cat was just being proactive. He just wanted to help out with Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t be mad.

18) The Baby Reindeer

Don’t you want to save the baby reindeer? Then don’t put up your Christmas lights before Thanksgiving. It will be their blood on your hands!

19) Serving Size

Serving sizes? Not on Thanksgiving. If you’re counting, then you’re a family of four.

20) All the Pie

No one has just one slice of pie. That’s because you have to have at least one slice of all the pies. Apple, pecan, and pumpkin… give me all the pies.

21) No Skipping Thanksgiving

This is so true. The very day after Halloween, everything is Christmas. But for one day, maybe a week, we celebrate Thanksgiving. It ain’t right.

22) Why Though?

You’re just there trying to have a cocktail and some pie. Why does you family have to ruin that. Leave me and Fifi be.

23) The IT Guy

Sometimes Thanksgiving means that you have to go to work. You have to go to work as the family IT guy. Be prepared to field all the IT questions your family has while you’re there.

24) Santa Turkey

Some people just can’t wait until after Thanksgiving to put up their Christmas decorations. This is a compromise. It’s Santa Turkey.

25) Actual Footage of Me On Thanksgiving

Who dat? It’s me. Happy Thanksgiving.

26) Pass the Gravy

This is a hilarious parody on Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe. According to History.com, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast in 1621 which was known as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations. They two groups held an alliance for more than 50 years.

27) Phone a Thanksgiving Friend

Sometimes being alone on Thanksgiving isn’t all that bad. You get to avoid annoying questions that you don’t feel like answering. If you really need to get that effect, give this guy a call.

28) Something’s Up

These turkeys are onto the farmer. He’s been acting real weird lately. Something’s not right here.

29) Piece of Meat

She’s not wrong. People only look at her like she’s a piece of meat. All they see is breasts.

30) Sad Friday

Sometimes Black Friday turns into Sad Friday. People start acting crazy over stuff. And hurt each other just for… stuff.

31) Early Birds

These early birds are coming early for the bird. They will arrive bright and early for an evening dinner. Gotta love them for it.

32) Thanksgiving Dreams

Only a few weeks before we’re flowing down a gorgeous gravy river. Wading through lucious mashed potatoes. And diving into some delicious pies.

33) Thanksgiving Eve

Thanksgiving Eve is the night where everyone is home and goes out to get drunk. You often see all your old high school friends that night. But that also means there’s people you want to avoid.

34) Afternoon Dinner

Holiday dinners tend to be early in the afternoon. Not sure why. I guess you’re going to eat a lot so it’s one big meal in between lunch and dinner.

35) Magic Stomach

On Thanksgiving, we’re granted a magic stomach. One that tells us we’re full after eating way more than we usually do. Then it magically gets less full when the pie comes out.

36) Beyond Full

You don’t just get full on Thanksgiving. You go beyond full. You get to self-hatred full.

37) You Sleepy?

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the Thanksgiving post-meal nap. Some say it’s turkey induced. But that’s not always the case.

38) After Thanksgiving

It’s hard to move after Thanksgiving. It’s also hard to breathe. That’s because you feel like this.

39) It’s 4 p.m.

They said 4 p.m. You came at 4 p.m. Where the hell is the food?

40) Holding Out

Most of us fast before Thanksgiving dinner. You want to leave as much room as possible so that you can fill it to the max with delicious food. But sometimes holding out is hard.

41) Butterball

This is a play on Miley Cyrus’ song Wrecking Ball. But instead he’s a Butterball… get it? Turkeys do come to Thanksgiving ready to wreck you and your diet though.

42) Eating Pants

One does not wear regular attire. Thanksgiving pros know you got to come in your eating pants. Stretchy material ONLY.

43) It Will Be Mine

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. I’m coming for your biscuit.

44) The Third Plate

There’s always room for seconds on Thanksgiving. Maybe even thirds. Don’t let anyone shame you for filling up.

45) Set the Scale Back

It’s one thing to eat a lot on Thanksgiving. It’s another thing to eat a lot every day for the next week because you have leftovers. You might have to set the scale back for that one.

46) Living Dangerously

Talking politics at a happy family meal is no fun. But when people get together they talk. It’s a dangerous game.

47) Why?

I am personally offended by this. Why would someone do that to pie? This is just wrong.

48) The Itis

What goes hand-in-hand with Thanksgiving? The itis… it’ll get you. The itis is formally knows as postprandial somnolence, which is the food coma or feeling of sleepiness you get after eating.

49) Delicious Points

Most of us consume a lot of calories on Thanksgiving. I’m sorry, excuse me. I meant delicious points.

50) The Plate

What’s almost as good as Thanksgiving dinner? Leftovers. You have to make a plate to take home with you. And you must be prepared to guard that plate with your life.
