Time travelers have (allegedly) invaded YouTube, and now they’ve taken over TikTok .

The time traveler meme  has seen several variations, but it’s found a new form on TikTok, aided by the  add text  feature. The meme traditionally features a conversation between a time traveler and someone in the year they’ve traveled to, and Know Your Meme points to a 2017 Doctor Who episode as one of its sources.

Some of the videos are more Back to the Future -y.

Others warn of more specific moments in history.

And some reference other TikTok memes, like Save the Turtles .

And, since TikTok is always riffing on pop culture, there’s a subgenre of Area 51 meme  memes.

Avengers endgame: 10 time travel memes that are too hilarious for words.

Endgame had some pretty questionable time travel logic. These memes make good use of that.

Whenever a new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is released, the world seems to collectively lose it's mind. Every inch of social and mainstream media is occupied by said movie. And unsurprisingly, each movie spawns it's own personal memes. That's the modus operandi with every single Marvel movie, but the release of Avengers: Endgame was like every other Marvel movie release on steroids. Endgame was the culmination of over a decade of development and over a dozen films, so the entire film-going world understandably brought the hype to an insane level when it finally came out.

And in case anyone didn't know by now, a key aspect of the story line in Endgame revolves around time travel. Time travel is the linchpin that allowed the Avengers to, you know, avenge, and understandably that aspect of the story has ignited a lot of creativity within the MCU fandom. Namely in the form of memes. So here are 10 of the funniest Avengers: Endgame time travel memes!

No Wonder The Budget Was So High

Much ado has been made about Paul Rudd's magical inability to visibly age, but it all makes sense now! Surely most people can hope that taking care of themselves plus some luck with their DNA might stave off the biggest signs of time and wear on their face and body, but clearly no one can compete with the support of millions of dollars and the biggest media brand in the world. Is it possible that Paul Rudd is just lucky and barely aged since his Clueless days? Sure. But a Marvel Cinematic Universe conspiracy is obviously the much more believable theory.

Back To The Future Battle

If you told anyone a few years ago that one of the main film canon vs. film canon debates would be between Avengers: Endgame and Back to the Future , most people probably wouldn't have believed it. And yet, here we are. Back to the Future isn't exactly the be all and end all of time travel movies, but it is one of the most famous. And while Marty McFly's exploits in the past pale in comparison to what the Avengers did, at least Marty seemed to have a much more pleasant time in his visit to the past (creepy possible romance with his own mom not included, obviously).

Avengers: Endgame is a film achievement unlike any other for a lot of reasons. And one of the biggest reasons is that it managed to unseat James Cameron from the top grossing film of all time throne (although Cameron will always get deserved props for managing to unseat himself when Avatar surpassed Titanic ).

Cameron was undoubtedly proud of being able to hold on to that title for decades, and presumably wasn't thrilled to see the MCU finally defeat his accomplishment. Not to mention, James is pretty accustomed to the idea of using time travel to go back and change the past, so perhaps the MCU crew should have been a little more worried about taking him out.

It Doesn't Take A Gene To Figure Out

When it came to the Avenger's whole plan to use time travel to their advantage and essentially undo what Thanos had done when he killed half of the living world it seems like Thanos was pretty far behind the curve. With the infinity gauntlet you'd think that he could just go to the time in which they were going off on this whole mission and stop them, but he shows up right when every Avenger and everyone who has ever met an Avenger has assembled and is ready to lay the smack down on him. Thanos did show up in the nick of time, but he just didn't come up the winner.

Thanos Time Fail

Memes kind of feel like those half-assed thoughts that everyone has manifested into the most low rent artwork any person could possibly conceive of, but this time travel meme really has a point. The infinity gauntlet is supposed to essentially grant unlimited power to whoever possesses it, and the whole Avengers squad undoing Thanos' apocalyptic snap is something that Thanos himself should have been able to foresee and presumably prevent from happening.

It's possible that Thanos wasn't clever enough to predict it or that he just assumed that the Avengers were too weak or too stupid to actually do it, but when you consider his obsession with eliminating half of the living universe you'd think he'd be more on top of things like that.

Reminder To Be Kind To Fellow Fans

Memes are just fun and games and should absolutely be taken as such. But they can also be a nice reminder to be kind and considerate to fellow fans who don't have the ability see into their own futures and know how Endgame is actually going to end. Presumably anyone who cares even a smidge about this magnum opus of the MCU has seen it by now, but when Avengers: Endgame was first released it seemed like it was easier to dodge a land mine or evade the Thanos snap than it was to avoid spoilers for the actual endgame in this Endgame .

He's No Marty McFly

One thing that a lot of fantasy, sci-fi, and action movies don't like to confront when it comes to their off the wall ideas and experiments is that often times things don't go as planned when you're the first monkey being launched into space. Obviously that is the case when it comes to Scott Lang.

Ant-Man's journey to and from the future obviously doesn't match up with what he had probably seen in TV and movies for most of his life, and even if he imagined some timey-wimey shenanigans he undoubtedly didn't expect to turn back into an incontinent baby.

Suspension Of Disbelief Matters, Okay?

Let's be real, half the fun of poring over every frame of a certain movie is being able to debate the minutia of every plot point and concept within that film with other rabid fans. And the internal logic of time travel in Avengers: Endgame is good enough, at least. But there is also the point where a debate devolves into an argument, and no matter how much everyone loves the MCU movies they're still just silly popcorn flicks about superheroes. Undoubtedly these debates will roll on forever, but even the now deceased Tony Stark is probably sick of them.

Did You Even Watch The Movie Though?

Is everyone laughing or crying? Most Avengers: Endgame memes are good for a laugh (and this one probably is too), but this particular time travel meme is a harsh reminder of what MCU fans have lost because of the latest installment in the Avengers series. And I mean, considering the story line of Endgame it's safe to assume that no MCU character who dies has to necessarily be dead for good, but when you look at what a heart-wrenching send off Tony Stark was given in the film it seems more likely than not that he's gone permanently. We're always open to some hope, though.

Memeception

Memes are in large part so popular because they're so simple and easy to understand for everyone. If you have any knowledge of the source material you only need to glance at the meme and you'll likely understand it immediately. That's what makes memes so funny, and it's presumably why they go viral so easily. However this little gem of an Avengers: Endgame meme adds an extra layer of awesome by taking one of it's most popular "time travel" memes and making the meme about memes themselves. And this one definitely would have elicited a chuckle from Bruce Banner himself.

26 Travel Memes That Will Make You Laugh in 2022

If you’re a frequent traveler I’m guessing you’re also a fan of funny travel memes.

As frequent travelers, we often find ourselves in amusing and precarious situations. Many of which can be perfectly summed up in a great travel meme. 

So just for fun, I’ve put together this list of the 25 Best Travel Memes on the Internet. You’ll find inspirational travel memes, airline travel memes, social media travel memes, and many more.

Best Travel Memes 2022

All travel memes and journey quotes for this article have been sourced from the internet. The original source for each image is identified where possible.

1. No children travel meme

This is my personal favorite travel meme. It describes my life perfectly.

I don’t have kids so I don’t have to worry about family responsibilities when planning to travel. I’ll go wherever the cheap flights will take me and try to never miss out on a good flight deal.

2. Hotel travel meme

This is one of the most hilarious travel memes I’ve found.

I don’t tend to mess with housekeeping much, but I have to admit this is really funny.

I’ve actually worked in housekeeping before, many, many years ago. I’ve seen some things. But definitely nothing like this.

3. Airplane travel meme

Agreed! There’s something relaxing about flying and looking down on the world below. 

Funny travel quotes like this also perfectly sum up how I feel about flying. I love being away from everything, not knowing anybody, and just having this time to myself.

I’ll listen to a good book or podcast and just enjoy the quiet. You can’t go anywhere until the plane lands, so you might as well make the most of it.

Does anybody else find flying therapeutic?

4. Group travel plans meme

I think this travel meme sums up everybody’s experience when planning a trip with friends.

At least until we learn to stop asking people to join us beforehand. Now I just tell people my plans after I’ve booked my trip.

If they want to join, great! if not, they can stay home. 

I also love how the pics in this travel meme include dogs! Dogs are the perfect recipe for a funny vacation meme.

5. Packing travel meme

This is one of my favorite funny travel memes going around on social media. I think it’s one we can all relate to.

Personally, I buy lots of clothes I never end up wearing, mostly because I’m a terrible shopper.

Yes somehow these clothes always end up in my suitcase. It’s amazing how that works sometimes.  

6. Airline baggage policy travel meme

How perfect is this funny travel meme?

Airline baggage policies often both amuse and infuriate me, mostly because many are a bit ridiculous and don’t make much sense.

I do understand the airlines need to make up for the cost of low ticket prices somehow, but I feel they could do a better job explaining their convuluted baggage policies.

Not all airlines are bad at this, but some certainly are.

I think many also miss that the weight limits are not because the plane will be too heavy, but because the airline is limiting the weight of the bags for baggage handlers.

You wouldn’t want to be lifing 100 pound suitcases all day either. Keeping them closer to 50 pounds is safer for the staff moving your bags on and off the airplane.

7. Water at the airport travel meme

This has happened to me too many times. I’ve since learned to bring a refillable bottle in my carry on.

I can’t imagine how much money this has saved me in just the past year. Now if I could just remember to buy chewing gum before I get to the airport. 

To be totally honest though, while I may not be spending money on bottled water at the airport, I sure don’t seem to have a problem spending money on wine at the airport. Who’s with me?

8. Carry on bags travel meme

I’ve seen this a million times as well.

Fortunately, I usually manage to squeeze my bag in somewhere in the overhead bin. 

It always makes me wonder how some people have so many items when the airlines’s baggage policy states each passenger gets one carry on.

I’m starting to think people just hide their bags when they go to the counter for check in.

9. Airplane boarding meme

Some people take FOREVER in the aisle. I don’t even understand how whatever they’re doing could possibly take that long.

Do they not see the line behind them?

Seriously though, can someone explain this to me?

10. Reclining airplane seat meme

I’ve never been one to recline my seat on an airplane because it doesn’t make the flight any more comfortable.

I also don’t want to squish the person behind me.

Like everybody else, I hate it when the person in front of me reclines their seat. For some reason, this always happens when I’m watching a movie or eating.

Why someone would recline their seat during meal service is beyone me, but it happens. If you paid for your seat on the plane, you can recline it if you wish. It’s really not that big of a deal. I’m usually just happy to be on a plane in the first place.

11. Southwest Airlines meme

I love how seriously some folks take the boarding situation on Southwest Airlines.

I never really put much thought into it other than to ensure I check in right away to get a good boarding position.

I’ve definitely overheard some squabbles between passengers before though. This usually seems to happen when someone tries saving a seat for someone else who hasn’t been able to board yet.

I don’t really get why people insist on doing this. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t get to sit by your friend or partner during a flight.

And if it is such a big deal, why didn’t you just pay the $20 for the first boarding group? Makes no sense to me.

As for me, I head to the back of the plane to grab a window seat and silently hope no one sits next to me.

12. Reward points travel meme

Gotta love The Office…and travel reward points. 

I don’t know about you, but I always make my purchases using a credit card that gets me points for travel.

I personally use the Chase Sapphire and a few Marriott rewards credit cards. I use the Sapphire for airfare and the Marriott cards for my hotels. It works out perfectly.

If you don’t already have a good travel rewards credit card or business travel rewards card, I strongly encourage you to get one. Use it for all your daily purchases, you’d be surprised how quicly those points add up.

Just be sure to pay it off in full each month. The reward points are no longer worth it if you’re paying hundreds of dollars in interest fees to carry a balance.

But if you can handle the card responsibly, say hello to free flights and hotels.

13. Airplane boarding travel meme

Any meme with John Goodman makes my list. 

Plus vacation memes about people blocking the airplane aisle are so accurate. I don’t understand this aspect of traveling by plane.

When I’m boarding a plane I usually feel awkward if people are waiting behind me to pass. So much so that I’ll do whatever I can to limit my time in the aisle.

If I’m taking longer that a few seconds, I’ll usually just step out of the aisle to let other pass if there’s room to do so. Not sure why everybody doesn’t do this.

Also, what’s up with people waiting until they board the plane to start digging things out of their carry on roller bag? Why? Just why?

14. The summer tourist vacation meme

My own reaction is similar. I live in Los Angeles and know that certain areas of the city are just off limits come summer.

I’m talking about you Santa Monica and Hollywood Blvd. 

Even when I make my travel plans I consider the possible crowds for the destination I want to visit. I usually avoid Europe entirely in the summer. Not only are there too many tourists, but the prices are way too high.

I’d much rather travel in the spring and fall when everybody else is back at work. You wouldn’t believe all the deals you can get by opting for off season travel destinations .

15. The Alpaca Road Trip Meme s

Every list of funny travel memes needs an alpaca road trip meme. Plus, this one shows the true spirit of a road trip.

Road trips are best when they’re spontaneous, with the right people who are down for anything.

16. Waiting for my friends to travel meme

People often ask me when we’re going to travel together?

I used to entertain these comments with destination ideas and time frames. Now I just respond by suggesting they let me know when they’re ready to book the trip.

This is usually the end of the conversation. I think many people just like to talk about traveling, but don’t really have any intention of doing it. 

17. Always posting on social media travel meme

We all have that friend who has to post every single photo they take on Facebook. You know the one.

18. Parents traveling without you meme

Many of us can relate to this in one way or another, whether it be travel or something else. It always seems your parents start doing cool things after you’ve grown up and moved out.

19. Covid Travel Meme

So many of us had travel plans this year that were cancelled. I know some of us handled it better than others. Here’s to hoping we’re out of this soon.

20. I wish I was quarantined in Paris travel meme

This was absolutely me for the majority of the pandemic. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and would have given anything to be stuck somewhere more interesting.

21. Airlines travel meme

I’ve only done this once, and never again. Unless I find a spectacular deal, I much prefer to pay a little extra for more comfort and convenience these days.

22. Cruise Travel Memes

I don’t think anyone had it worse during Covid than the cruise industry. I have no idea how they plan to operate again, but I’m sure things will be interesting when they do.

23. When your mom is always worried travel meme

I absolutely relate to this one. No matter where on the planet I go, my mom is always worried about the safety of the destination.

Honestly, most of the destinations I visit are safer than where I live.

24. Airline seating travel memes

In all honesty, it never ceases to amaze me how little room some airlines leave for passengers between the rows. I’m lucky I’m on the small side.

25. Airport Travel Meme

I admit it, I’m definitely guilty of this one. I’m excited to be at the airport and traveling, but also bored at the same time. It’s a difficult situation.

26. Bank account travel meme

When your travel dreams are bigger than your bank account. I feel like this is true for most of us, and it’s definitely true for me.

I really hope you enjoyed this list of the 26 Best Travel Memes on the Internet? If you would like to support this blog please consider sharing this post. Thanks for reading.
