WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps in Germany. More than eighty percent of Germans use it – and thank goodness.
\nIf they didn\u2019t, how else could they meme?
\nGerman memes are a fantastic bridge from English internet culture to German internet culture. In this article, you\u2019ll see old favourites as well as new German meme formats.
\nAll of them have something to teach you, whether you\u2019re advanced, intermediate, or just starting out.<\/p>\n

12 Excellent German Memes<\/h2>\n

Beginner German Memes<\/h3>\n

These are the German memes you as a learner want to be just starting out with. You\u2019re familiar with these formats, and you can even send them to people that are just starting out themselves.<\/p>\n

1.<\/h3>\n

\"German
\nWe\u2019ll start off with awkward family photos – always a treat. The dog says \u201cWhich birds can\u2019t hear? Doves.\u201d
\nThe joke is that die Taube \u201cdove\u201d in German is very close to taub \u201cdeaf.\u201d The plural of that adjective would be tauben, so saying \u201cthe deaf ones\u201d is the same as saying \u201cthe doves.\u201d<\/p>\n

2.<\/h3>\n

\"German
\nHonestly, I\u2019m a sucker for galaxy brain memes. This one\u2019s talking about how to organize school supplies and notebooks, and it\u2019s pretty grammatically simple:
\nA different color for every subject -> Several binders in the same color -> One folder for all subjects -> Everything bound together -> Everything in the bag -> Everything in the closet -> Throw everything in the trash.<\/p>\n

3.<\/h3>\n

\"German
\nThis one is wholesome and still pretty funny. It reads:
\nShe: Excuse me, young man!
\nHe: Sorry, I have a grandma.
\nHere the kid uses the word schon, which is quite different from sch\u00f6n \u201cbeautiful.\u201d Schon means \u201calready,\u201d and it\u2019s used pretty often in German as a sort of sentence particle or filler word.<\/p>\n

4.<\/h3>\n

\"German
\nThis meme is a little older, but that means you\u2019ve definitely seen its format before. If someone asks, \u201cWhere do you want to go to eat? What do you want?\u201d then your head may start spinning with options too.
\nThe phrase takeaway here is: Lust auf etwas haben: to want something, to have a desire for something (casual).<\/p>\n

Intermediate German Memes<\/h3>\n

5.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nYour thoughts as you\u2019re playing on your phone: \u201cHmm, my battery\u2019s at 55 percent. That should last me the rest of the day.\u201d
\nBut Snapchat doesn\u2019t think so!
\nThis meme uses a great phrase f\u00fcr den restlichen Tag, meaning literally \u201cfor the remaining day.\u201d Its opposite is more often seen: f\u00fcr den ganzen Tag or \u201cfor the whole day.\u201d
\nFurthermore, f\u00fcr etwas reichen means \u201cto be enough for\u201d- so the battery is enough for the remainder of the day, as long as you don\u2019t open Snapchat!<\/p>\n

6.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nThe word Almans is something you probably won\u2019t know if you\u2019re living outside of Germany. It\u2019s the Turkish word for \u201cGerman people,\u201d and in German internet culture it\u2019s used as an affectionately teasing way to make fun of German stereotypes.
\nThis one says: \u201cWhat Germans use their tablets for:\u201d and the message reads \u201c10:17: Mrs. Maier threw paper in the organic waste bin.\u201d
\nGermans are known for being very strict about recycling and recycling habits, and so taking detailed notes about their neighbors is exactly what an Alman would do.<\/p>\n

7.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nThis one too isn\u2019t particularly complex, but relies on a bit of cultural knowledge too. Galileo is a very successful TV and online broadcast company known for their science-based, adventurous, and thought-provoking reportage.
\nAnd so Pennywise the clown lures Galileo into the sewers with the one thing it can\u2019t resist: somebody saying \u201cDown here you aren\u2019t allowed to film.\u201d Their only weakness!<\/p>\n

8.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\n\u201cAs soon as the container is full, I\u2019ll go exercise.\u201d Of course, why exercise when you could just pour water down the drain for the meme? That absurdity definitely carries over into German memes as well.
\nDer Beh\u00e4lter is an interesting word. It literally means \u201cholder of things,\u201d and it\u2019s often translated as \u201ccontainer.\u201d If you do an image search, though, you\u2019ll see that it more refers to food trays that you might find behind the counter at a cafeteria! As you can see, memes are often very educational.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Advanced German Memes<\/h3>\n

9.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nIt turns out a lot of German meme pages love the \u201cWhen you\u2026\u201d meme, and to be honest that\u2019s one of my favorites too. That\u2019s a great format for the past tense in German too: \u201cWhen you\u2019ve drunkenly ordered an elephant on Amazon and have to read the instruction manual first.\u201d
\nThe phrase to take away here is bei jemandem etwas bestellen or \u201corder something from somewhere.\u201d You can always add betrunken \u201cdrunkenly\u201d too, if you\u2019d like!<\/p>\n

10.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nHave you ever considered studying in Germany? The language requirements are sometimes high, especially because of the formal academic language used in the classroom. Here, a guest speaker is being introduced:
\n\u201cI am glad to introduce our next guest lecturer. He will discuss tennis balls and why it is so that one should never act as if he is going to throw them, when in fact he does not actually throw them.
\nAlthough tun \u201cto do\u201d is considered sometimes more spoken language than written language, it fits nicely into the set phrase so tun als ob\u2026 which means \u201cto pretend to do, to act like you will do.\u201d<\/p>\n

11.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nOne more cultural tip here: The top sign is used on German roads to mark the end of a limit, like a speed limit or no-passing zone. The text reads: \u201cValid as long as I see the sign in the distance.\u201d
\nThe bottom sign? That\u2019s a speed limit sign, and it\u2019s interpreted to mean \u201cI can still coast (don\u2019t have to hit the brakes) at high speed until I pass the sign.\u201d Good luck with the German police, folks!<\/p>\n

12.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nAnd finally, the number one German meme is the classic Winnie-the-Pooh. The formal language usage comes in handy here once again, as \u201cMy god, can\u2019t you read?!\u201d gets lovingly translated into \u201cAs stated in my previous email\u2026\u201d
\nThis use of etwas zu entnehmen is particularly formal and generally used rarely, only for government reports and so on. No need to be quite so polite in German business writing!<\/p>\n
