Dinner is not a laughing matter. Watch one episode of The Bear, and you will know that immediately. But home cooking is a different story. We can laugh about dinner all day long. In fact, there are some funny dinner memes that will help lighten the mood a bit.

Funny dinner memes are perfect for making light of something that doesn’t always feel light and fun for the cook. We’ve all seen the commercials and pictures of people laughing and smiling while cooking food with their families.

But cooking in real life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes, we spend hours in the kitchen cooking dinner for our families, only for them to not like what we eat.

Then there are the times when we stand in the kitchen with an open fridge, trying to figure out what we’re going to cook, which isn’t fun. Sure, there are some dinners we are excited to cook, and everyone enjoys the food we put on the table.

But those times are always overshadowed by the time little Johnny didn’t like what we made, and so we had to be firm with him, only for him to cry with every bite. The food wasn’t the problem; Johnny was.

Anyway, we should be looking for the light in the darkness, the laughter through the tears of poor little Johnny, who didn’t like teriyaki chicken. That is when we turn to funny dinner memes.

We can laugh at our shared pain, move on, and enjoy cooking dinner again. There is nothing like going through a hard time only to realize that we aren’t alone. Of course, it’s only dinner, let’s have some fun.

Funny Dinner Memes to Keep You Full

How much garlic recipes call for…vs how much I use.

Garlic is one of the best flavors out there, no need to argue. But recipes always call for two or three cloves of garlic. We need more, we really want that garlic flavor to come out.

I’m spending my lunch thinking about dinner.

Why is it that we can’t help but think about the next meal even while we’re eating the current one? This makes no sense, but we do it, and it’s fine. We should consider the meal we are currently eating to be inspiration for the next.

Kids: What’s for dinner?
Me: Nothing you’ll like.

Is that not always the answer? These kids and their picky eating habits. Yes, the food is green; no it won’t hurt or kill you; yes, I am eating the same thing; no we will not order you something different.

Hey kids! It’s time to bitch and complain about what I made for dinner!

We struggle with figuring out what we are going to make for dinner. And then, when we finally decide on something, we get nothing but complaints. How about you sit down and eat what I gave you because if not, you will go without food?

Who knew that the hardest part of being an adult is figuring out what to cook for dinner every single night for the rest of your life until you die.

We are faced with tough questions every day, like whether we invest in that stock, whether we should save that person’s life, and what’s for dinner. These questions are all equal in importance.
