I was going to put this Grumpy Cat birthday meme in our belated birthdays category, but that would be way too dark. The Grumpy Cat birthday meme saying “happy birthday, now you’re one year closer to dying” is dark enough as it is. Birthdays are supposed to be cheerful and happy, but if you’re one of those people that like dark memes, this is the one for you. This means it won’t make the day depressing—your friend will know you’re being highly sarcastic.
Imagine a friend having a birthday and waiting for memes to make them feel better on their birthday, and then you send them this meme. This would instantly prop them up because they know you’re being sarcastic. They’ve known you for years, and especially when their inbox is full of sarcastic TikToks from you, they would understand why you send them this meme on their birthday.
Send this meme to your siblings, friends, or coworkers who won’t take you seriously. They might roll their eyes at you or say “pffftt,” but they’ll know you’re just trying to be funny and will accept the meme as a gift on their birthday as they are aging.
