Everyone could use a good laugh this holiday, and these Thanksgiving memes will certainly entertain
40 Thanksgiving Memes for You to Gobble Up
Updated on Sep. 27, 2024
It’s my time to shine
The goal: Don’t let anyone know it’s my first time making Thanksgiving dinner.
The best turkey
Sorry bud, we chose another turkey to cook this year.
Let’s be honest…
The funniest Thanksgiving memes are always the most relatable. But really, who cuts pie like this?
Neither do we
My only regret is not having enough room for more.
The food…
It’s always the food.
That post-turkey nap
Turkey dinner never fails to knock you right out.
Stuffed, but not too stuffed
There’s always room for more if you really commit.
We get it
Turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie? Us too. Instead of posting on Instagram, consider showing off your knowledge with Thanksgiving trivia.
Mashed potatoes with a spoon, please
And don’t forget the gravy!
It’s wine o’clock
No shame here.
Come on
Maybe we should just do dinner rolls and butter next year. At least these Thanksgiving crafts for kids will keep them busy while you cook.
Calories don’t count on Thanksgiving
Eat until your pants can’t take it anymore. Then it’s time to break the turkey wishbone, take a quick nap and rally for round two.
Smart idea
Hey, we’re just trying not to be wasteful! Libras love pie.
Guilty
We could all use a little break.
And tuning out ..now
We’ve all been there.
Never enough wine
We’re bringing a red side dish, a white side dish and a rosé side dish.
It’s a sport
Let’s all wear our stretchy pants.
Been training all day for this
It’s a sprint, not a marathon.
Just sayin’
Does anyone think the turkey is the best part? And have they ever met mashed potatoes?
Strap the feed bag on
These people have my back. Or stomach.
The worst job
We cooked. You clean.
Make room
It’s going to be a long night.
Don’t take it personally
You’re loved. It’s fine.
Stretch
They must have a little give to accommodate the belly bloat.
Turkey forever
Giving leftovers to guests before they leave? (Who are we kidding? Of course you are.) Add a funny Thanksgiving quote to the container to give ’em a surprise laugh later on.
You’re not fooling anyone
We’d like our carbs, please.
No regrets
We see you judging us. (And no, we don’t care.)
Turkey trot tradition
Let’s leave the turkey day races to other (more fit) families.
True friendship
Real friends listen to your great aunt’s ramblings so you don’t have to. Pay them back by hosting Friendsgiving this year.
All-nighter?
How many hours till 4 a.m.?
The main event
Pumpkin pie is just a vehicle for whipped cream. We’re not taking comments at this time, unless it’s about sharing these hilarious pumpkin spice memes.
Take a big bite
That’s how it works, right?
Amen
This is the truest Thanksgiving triumph and one of the many reasons to be grateful this holiday.
