When looking for hilarious pictures, videos, and stories on the internet, look no further than the Front Page of the Internet, Reddit. This forum has hundreds of hilarious communities dedicated to different subject matter that can appeal to different senses of humor easily. There are plenty of communities dedicated to bringing funny content to your screen. Let’s look at the most well-known humor-related subreddits on the Reddit forum.
To determine what belonged on this list, we first looked at different Reddit posts about funny subreddits. There is no better group of people to ask about the funniest subreddits than Reddit’s users. Then we collected the subreddits that appeared in the most posts about funny communities on Reddit. We did some cursory research to determine the posting focus and theme of each subreddit.
r/Funny
It goes without saying that people looking for funny posts should check out the Reddit community, r/Funny. The r/Funny community is dedicated to the funniest posts on the internet that aren’t memes. Memes and meme-format pictures and videos are explicitly banned from r/Funny as are posts that aren’t suitable for a general audience, like political humor. r/Funny is pretty wholesome and easy to get along with, making it an excellent choice as a source for your next laugh.
r/Memes
If memes are more your style of humor, r/Funny won’t be the place to get your type of laugh. Instead, check out r/Memes, which is like r/Funny but dedicated to meme-format images and videos. Like with r/Funny, the goal of r/Memes is to spread relatable or general-audience-safe memes from the internet. Many users also make their own takes on popular formats for the laughs. It’s a great community filled with great people and its content is hilarious!
r/ATBGE
“ATBGE” stands for “Awful Taste but Great Execution.” This subreddit is dedicated to showcasing creations that display awful taste on the part of the creator, but retain a high level of craftsmanship that doesn’t necessarily fit the subject matter. Subjects range from tattoos (saved for one day a week to reduce the number of duplicate tattoo posts,) homemade furniture, other crafts, and art pieces. The posts on r/ATBGE will have you scratching your head and saying, “This is an excellent piece of art… but why?”
r/OSHA
If you enjoy Jackass, you’ll enjoy r/OSHA. For those unfamiliar with the organization after which the subreddit is named, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversees workplace safety in the United States. OSHA violations are ones that put the health and safety of the employees at risk. The subreddit isn’t managed by the organization but instead highlights workplace safety issues that people see on the internet or in their workplaces. As a result, the posts often feel like looking at rejected episodes of Jackass, except none of the participants know they’re jackasses.
r/BikiniBottomTwitter
Unfortunately, the Spongebob cartoon is continuing well past the point at which its late creator wanted it to end. However, there are still people enjoying the original Spongebob cartoon through memetic reinterpretations of the source material. r/BikiniBottomTwitter is dedicated to Spongebob-related memes of all kinds, from pictures to videos. They feature all types of relatable content using Spongebob as the punchline to deliver the joke. It’s a great place for people who want the nostalgia of early 2000s cartoons and some good, relatable jokes.
r/InsanePeopleFacebook
r/FakeHistoryPorn
If you like history (but fake), r/FakeHistoryPorn is the perfect subreddit for you. The whole point of the subreddit is to post images with captions that falsely imply that the picture depicts something historical, such as a lawn ornament of Baby Jesus being kidnapped by aliens with the caption, “Jesus’ gap years explained (1 AD).” While the idea of spreading misinformation for fun isn’t exactly the most noble pursuit, r/FakeHistoryPorn makes no claims of spreading the truth. Fake is in the name!
r/ScottishPeopleTwitter
r/Me_IRL
Love relatable posts? The r/Me_IRL subreddit is the perfect place to surf in your boredom. The name, “Me IRL (in real life)” is on the nose with its scope. The posts are largely relatable and in a meme format. The format allows the user to impress their own experiences onto the post and nod their head in sympathetic solidarity.
r/2MeIRL_4MeIRL
Ever seen something so relatable that it’s almost a little painful? That’s the focus of the r/2MeIRL_4MeIRL subreddit. The name should be understood as meaning, “Too Me IRL for Me IRL.” It’s posts are primarily relatable memes that are so relatable that they cause you physical pain to look at. Sardonic, pained laughter is a common side effect of browsing this subreddit.
r/WellThatSucks
Another subreddit dedicated to laughing sadly as you imagine yourself in the position of the person in the post is r/WellThatSucks. This subreddit focuses on posting situations that suck and some of them can be quite funny from an outsider’s perspective. However, you’d have to be quite the slapstick humor fan to find some of these posts funny. So, it might not be for everyone.
r/WeWantPlates
Ever been served at a restaurant and thought to yourself, “What the heck is up with this presentation? Where’s my plate?!”? Serving foods using implements other than plates can be aesthetically appealing and contribute to the overall atmosphere of a restaurant. However, sometimes a plate would have just done a better job than whatever the restaurant was trying to go for with the wacky presentation. r/WeWantPlates is a subreddit dedicated to showcasing the strangest presentation choices made by restaurants.
r/JustRolledIntotheSea
r/MildlyVandalised
Laughing at immature jokes is perfectly okay, even later in adulthood. After all, growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. Becoming a truly mature adult is when you no longer care to posture maturity by pretending immature jokes aren’t still funny. That’s what r/MildlyVandalised is all about. This subreddit collects images of signs that have been lightly altered to be more funny. Such exceptional examples include using a piece of blue tape to alter a sign that says “PFE” to instead say “PEE” or changing the sign on a “Baby changing station” to “Baby charging station” by scratching out part of the first N in “changing.”
r/YouTubeHaiku
While the name might imply poetry, r/YouTubeHaiku is actually about short-form videos. The videos featured on the forum are poetic in nature, but not strictly poetry readings. Rather, it focuses on poetic symbolism in short-form video production. Since poetry is typically a shorter-form type of literature (though not exclusively) the subreddit refers to extremely short videos (under 30 seconds) as “Haikus” and slightly longer videos as poetry.
r/CrappyDesign
Have you ever opened a package and thought to yourself, “Who the heck designed this piece of junk?”. If so, you’ll feel right at home over on r/CrappyDesign. Dedicated to the worst possible designs imaginable, the r/CrappyDesign Reddit community focuses on posting the worst possible designs for everything. Excellent example posts include toilet door signs that have misshapen rocks to identify the demographic or a truck printed with “Follow me to a great car wash!” but there’s a “Corrosive” label printed over the word “Great,” so, the sign actually reads, “Follow me to a corrosive car wash!”
r/WhatCouldGoWrong
One of the major downsides of the r/WhatCouldGoWrong community is that there’s no mystery to the videos they post. You know right away that something is going to go wrong because you’re in r/WhatCouldGoWrong. If you’re a fan of the “people getting hurt” genre of comedy, r/WhatCouldGoWrong is the perfect place to surf. You’ll be treated to hours of people falling from high places, jumping into things they shouldn’t, and otherwise making nuisances of themselves. You don’t have to feel bad for laughing either because the premise of the subreddit is that the person has to have brought the pain unto themselves with their own stupidity.
r/MaybeMaybeMaybe
While technically more of a sister subreddit to r/NoNoYes and r/YesYesNo, r/MaybeMaybeMaybe addresses a critical issue with those subreddits. Much like with r/WhatCouldGoWrong, the punchline of the videos is in the subreddit name. r/MaybeMaybeMaybe has no such problem. Instead of revealing the outcome of the video prematurely, the subreddit obscures the result of the video. Thus, allowing you to enjoy it to its fullest without innate spoilers.
r/IDontWorkHereLady
Stories of poetic justice against Karens will warm the cockles of your heart and fill you with righteous fury. The good news is that a lot of those stories also double as being absolutely hilarious. r/IdontWorkHereLady is dedicated to sharing stories of people who were treated like employees at establishments they don’t work at. As someone who has both worked here and not worked here, depending on location, I can say there are few things more satisfying than a simple, “I don’t work here, actually” when someone is bothering you at a store. Takes the wind right out of their sails without any real effort on your part.
r/NotMyJob
Ever seen a job done poorly due to outside interference that wasn’t handled? Head over to r/NotMyJob to see the funniest situations where someone, somewhere in the chain of command said “This is simply not my job.” We’ve all done it. Seen something that interferes with our job but isn’t within the scope of our responsibilities. Some people will do the extra work. Others say “Not My Job” and work around it, even if it causes a degradation in quality of work.
This subreddit has tons of amazing images of work that was done around unideal conditions without actually dealing with the conditions that are interfering, such as a video of a man spray painting the curb of a sidewalk. However, there’s a husky sitting on the sidewalk in the way of his painting. The man spray paints the husky’s paws instead of moving the dog. After all, he isn’t animal control. That isn’t his job!
