The Simpsons: 10 Funniest Lisa Simpson Memes That Make Us Laugh
Lisa Simpson is, perhaps, the best character to have appeared on The Simpsons. In some ways, she’s a bit of a conscience for the show as a whole, the one person who seems to have a bit of self-awareness. What’s more, she actually seems to have a pretty refined conscience, which pairs well with her fierce and unapologetic intelligence.
Unsurprisingly, she’s proven to be the source of numerous memes, many of which are quite adept at showing just how strange and awkward life is for many young people, who often struggle to make sense of both their own mental lives and the world they live in.
10 The Awkwardness Of Compliments
It’s no secret that compliments are great. They’re a validation that a lot of people need, particularly those who struggle with self-esteem. The bitter irony of it, though, is that those who are most often in need of compliments are those that really struggle to process them or to convey their feelings of gratitude in any way that makes sense. Count on Lisa to give the perfect articulation of that sense of frustration that so many feel.
9 The Haunting
For a lot of people, the time right before bed is when they try to relax, to let go of all of the stress of the day. For some, though, it's a time to think about all of the wrongs of the past, to focus in particular on those who, for whatever reason, decided it was okay to do something terrible. If one finds oneself unable to sleep, there’s really no better way to spend the time than to dwell on old grievances.
After all, what else is there to do in the middle of the night?
8 Sad Songs Say So Much
There’s something uniquely pleasurable about sad songs. Sometimes, it’s because they remind a person of the things in their past that hurt them, and sometimes it’s just something about the song itself. There’s often a part of the song that hits a person right in the feels and, paradoxically, it’s often that part that’s the best to listen to. As this meme points out, sometimes one just has to rewind the song so that one can get the most hurt out of that particular moment.
7 The Audacity!
For an entire generation of kids, Unsolved Mysteries was one of the creepiest shows on television. Maybe it was the fact that they were supposedly true stories, or maybe it was the fact that they were, in fact, unsolved. Either way, as this meme points out, there’s a certain form of outrage and fear that one feels when one realizes that there might be some strange creature or murderer lurking out there, just waiting for the producers of the show to solve the mystery.
6 Being A Chameleon
One of the brilliant things about Lisa as a character is that she’s proven remarkably flexible throughout the series, and she’s been known to change her looks on occasion. For anyone who has ever thought they were one of those who didn’t really have a look, there’s a Lisa Simpson meme, which captures just how freeing it can be to be so quirky and inconsistent that one doesn’t really have a look that remains the same over time.
5 Night Water
Let’s face it. There’s something uniquely refreshing about water that one drinks in the middle of the night. Maybe it’s because a lot of people get dehydrated while they sleep (that’s probably what most people think). However, as this meme so hilariously points out, it’s more likely that this is the precise moment at which water is its ripest. This means, of necessity, that everyone should be drinking water at its premium moment rather than waiting for the daytime.
4 It’s Complicated
Most people seem to assume that a person is either an extrovert or an introvert. However, there are actually quite a few people out there who genuinely like to be with people; they just don't like the idea of being people.
It’s a crucial distinction, and the brilliance of this meme is that it allows one to see how making plans for an event and anticipating it can be exhausting, even though they’re pretty sure that they’ll have a good time at the actual event.
3 People Are Messy
The unfortunate reality is that personal relationships are messy, and they’re particularly complicated because, no matter how close a person might be to someone, it’s impossible to really understand or know what’s going in their head. This meme brilliantly and hilariously captures that feeling that most people have had, when they sense that someone is off toward them but they just can’t figure out why The only rational recourse, naturally, is to be as hyperbolic as possible in response.
2 She’s Not Wrong
One of the most amusing things about this particular type of Lisa Simpson meme is that it manages to point out those things in everyday life that most people simply ignore. There’s no question, for example, that the English language is full of strangeness, and in this case, it’s the word “dumpling.” Given the way that “ing” is usually added to nouns as a sort of diminutive, it does sort of make sense that somewhere out there is, in fact, a dumple.
1 A Soundtrack To Life
Most people have had a moment when they use music to get through the day. In fact, that’s the power of music as an art form; it often gives people an illusion that they have control over their life, even when things seem to be going badly. What better way to convey that eternal truth than through Lisa Simpson, who manages to capture that sense of exhilaration a lot of people feel when they’re listening to some great new song.
