65+ TGIF Memes That Make Friday the Best Day of the Week

These digital gems have turned into the internet’s favorite way to acknowledge the end of another brutal week, giving us somewhere to channel our collective exhaustion and a reason to laugh and commiserate with one another. Office workers wait for it to be over, and students wait to be free on the weekend, but Friday memes are a universal language of happiness, anticipation, and joy.

Weekend memes are so lovely, in part, for how universally relatable they are; they too serve as a reminder of that shared human experience of working hard and looking forward to resting. Whether it is a dancing baby Groot, a dance-crazed office worker, or an excellent pop culture reference, the funny Friday posts unite us all in emotions we all understand. Now, they’ve grown from short jokes to a full-blown cultural moment that can connect people across social media platforms.

These viral sensations are exploding all over social media every Friday, and they have become the trendiest and most addictive habit that millions of people have begun every week!
