Let me introduce you to the “Color Meme Funny” Coloring Book, also known as “How I Accidentally Spent Three Hours Coloring Shrek Dressed as a Teletubby.” I bought it thinking it was for kids or for light-hearted adults who enjoy a chuckle. What I got instead was a full-blown therapy session wrapped in chaos and Crayola. Page one? A cat yelling at a salad. Page two? The salad yelling back. Page three? My sanity quietly packing its bags.
Each page is a glorious explosion of memes from every corner of the internet—some you forgot, some you wish you could forget, and some that should probably be on a watchlist. Coloring Doge in a tuxedo while he holds a motivational sign saying “Much Art, So Wow” gave me an existential crisis I didn’t know I needed. I caught myself shading a perfectly detailed Nicolas Cage face on a banana peel for 45 minutes. Art? Therapy? Madness? Who knows?
Somewhere around page 17, I found a meme mash-up featuring SpongeBob screaming into a void while a confused Pikachu judged him from a unicorn. I felt seen. I mean, who among us hasn’t screamed into the void while being judged by fictional characters on a rainbow steed? My cat was concerned. My spouse quietly left the room. But I pressed on with my glitter gel pens like a warrior of dumb humor.
Would I recommend the “Color Meme Funny” coloring book? Absolutely—especially if you like to laugh, cry, and question your life choices while coloring Big Bird breakdancing in a top hat. It’s the most unhinged, ridiculous, beautiful thing I’ve ever done with a box of crayons. 10/10. Would color again. Probably in public next time.
