Job interviews are brutal. You have to practice all the standard job interview questions, brush up your job interview wardrobe, and even just hope you get a job offer at the end of the interview. It's easy to panic, especially when you are running out of savings and are worried about how you're going to make ends meet in the upcoming months.

However, the internet may actually help save the day on this one—all by delivering a laugh. Studies show that looking at funny pictures or even checking out cool pics online can provide immediate stress relief. If you're the type to freak out at an interview, check out the funniest job interview memes we've found on the net.

"If there's a steady paycheck..."

If you've ever been in a job interview where it's clear that the boss wants you to "drink the Kool-Aid" about what they do, you will immediately understand why this is one of the funniest job interview memes out there. (Of course, it's also one of the most funny-sad if you're stuck selling Primerica or something.)

This meme totally applies to any job interview where you're tempted to say:

  • "Oh, so all those protesters outside are misinformed? Okay, works for me."
  • "I totally get that the lawsuit means nothing, Mr. Shkreli."
  • "Dead bodies? I don't see anyone dragging a body-shaped bag out there."

"So, why do you want this job?"

Once again, this is one of the funniest job interview memes on the net because we've all heard this hokey question—and every single one of us knows that it's a total BS question. I mean, 99.9 percent of us want to work so we don't starve to death. Enough with the pretention, already!

"I fall in love too easy..."

If you've ever had a job interview that ended with the guy flirting with you, chances are pretty high that you won't find this to be one of the funniest job interview memes out there.

However, if you've ever ogled an interviewer before, it'll definitely strike a chord with you. (Those eyes, tho...)

"Show you're good at delegating responsibility..."

This is one of the funniest job interview memes for people who really, truly wish they could get away with hiring someone to interview instead of them.

Technically, role delegation is a desirable trait in an employee, right? Right??? Right??? So, it's *only* being professional if you take this meme's advice and just send mom to interview on your behalf.

"What are some reasons you'd be valuable to the company?"

Aside from being able to show them plenty of funny memes about life, you are probably going to have to come up with something to show them. Every interviewer asks this question, and we all have to talk about skills that make us great. These skills can include the following:

  • Being able to annotate stuff. Annotating sounds professional and bosses probably love that.
  • Being able to synergize. What does this even mean, anyway?
  • Being able to wear a suit. For the record, this is still not a skill we have mastered.
  • Being able to make a job interview meme that doesn't suck. This, too, is a job we have not mastered, either.

Blowing into a teapot, though? That shows you that you can make some of the funniest job interview memes on the net. Approved!

"So tell me about yourself..."

Has anyone else ever felt like they were being way too pried into during a job interview? If you live a wild life and just need a replacement 9 to 5 after peeing in your last workplace's elevator, then you definitely will understand why this is one of the funniest job interview memes we've seen.

Seriously, interviewers, please stop asking potential employees about their hobbies. You do not want to know what we do on the weekend and there are some personal details you shouldn't share during an interview.

"Me during an interview..."

If you've ever been in an interview and witnessed all the signs that you're not getting the job, you will definitely feel like this possum. The poor critter's facial expressions alone make this one of the funniest job interview memes we've seen.

So much despair... so many leaves. That possum totally looks like he's about to sink into his chair, mutter, "Thanks for the interview," and head out the door for a good cry.

"It's not exactly rocket science..."

Yes, we've all been there. Every single person you'll ever meet will have a moment where they just put their foot in their mouth so badly, they know that the interview is basically nixed right then and there.

This is one of the funniest job interview memes that totally nails that moment. Poor NASA applicant...

"A lot of face sweat!"

We've all had our bodies and brains betray us at an interview. This brain meme gives us all the feels when it happens. It's okay, at least you didn't puke on the dude.

Some skills just don't translate anywhere.

For once, let's find one of the funniest job interview memes that actually celebrates people who have great social skills during the interview. Sound good?

If you're an ace at job interviews, you've probably gained a lot of awesome skills that help you become better at a ton of things outside of work. Eating a banana, though, does not fall into that realm.

"Entry Level," amirite?

Finally, there's this classic. I don't get how so many firms claim that entry level jobs need to have three to five years of experience—and why so many recruiters are shocked they can't get a decent worker at minimum wages. Entry level jobs are literally supposed to be jobs with zero experience requirements.

If you've been there and had HR ask you about experience for an "entry level" job, you'll get why this is one of the funniest job interview memes out there.
