Most people's sense of humor leans toward one or two styles. The Meme Taste Test measures seven, by how often you laugh at memes in each style. Here's what each type says about you.
Laughs hardest at: absurd humor. The weirder, the better. You'd happily watch a nature documentary narrated by a goose.
18 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Me at 2 a.m.: wondering whether a hot dog is a sandwich
Laughs hardest at: wholesome humor. Kindness, pets and grandparents learning emojis get you every time. Your memes make people's day.
9 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Dog update: he saw a leaf. He chased the leaf. He caught the leaf. He is now the proudest being on Earth.
Laughs hardest at: deadpan humor. Understatement is your love language. You rarely laugh out loud, but you always get it first.
15 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Love when a website asks if I'm a robot. Buddy, on Mondays I'm barely a person.
Laughs hardest at: dark humor. You find the funny side of the abyss, gently. Mondays, bills and doomed houseplants are all material.
7 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Format: This is fine (described in words)
The dog sipping coffee in the burning room: me.
The fire: my inbox on the first Monday after vacation.
Laughs hardest at: nerdy humor. If a joke needs a footnote, you're in. Bonus points for code, grammar or science.
8 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Programmer's guide to cooking. Step 1: it worked on my stove.
Laughs hardest at: puns humor. Every groan is applause to you. You've never met a word you couldn't bend.
5 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
I opened a bakery for introverts. It's called Bread Alone.
Laughs hardest at: relatable humor. If it happened to everyone, you've already sent it to the group chat with “literally me.”
25 of the 50 memes in the test lean this way. One of them:
Me: I'll go to bed early tonight.
Also me at 4 a.m.: halfway through a documentary about deep-sea crabs
For each style, the test counts how many of its memes made you laugh, smoothed so a style with only a few memes can't win on one lucky swipe: (laughs + 1) ÷ (memes + 2). Your type is the style with the highest rate; your second-highest is your “side”. Comparing with a friend combines how often you agreed (both laughed or both passed) with how much your laughs overlap.
