No, the Far Side comics were (are?) done by Gary Larson. This is actually a totally different style. I see some similarity in the way the woman is drawn with the Far Side, but I think that's probably just the artist trying to make the middle-aged woman look like a chonker. Larson makes everyone a chonker.
Take a look at https://www.thefarside.com/ for a good time. Gary Larson had a goofy sense of humor, but I like it a ton!
Edit: eh, I guess the dudes are looking a little hefty as well, but even with that, it's still a super different art style, let alone joke style. I don't remember any Far Side comics that were like "wife bad, kill" but I could just not be remembering correctly.
Honestly, if you ignore all the text and numbers that were added on later, the joke in the picture alone by the original artist is pretty original.
Only worth a quick smirk, and a very dark joke, but the original punchline isn't "wife bad". It's "hey, look everyone wants to save he-- oh. Oh NO." It's meant to mess with your expectations, not support the death of your marriage.
Like I said, just pretend the numbers and text aren't there. There is literally no indication in the picture any of the people know each other.
Unfortunately in this case the text was always part of the comic, not added by someone else. The joke is the unoriginal "I hate my wife". The numbers were added later.
Ah thanks for clearing it up. I don’t think I’ve seen one in while but yeah - Mr Larson was hilarious. It gets difficult to distinguish most Facebook memes since they all look alike, and you kind of become tone deaf to the art styles. I just remember big noses and big people. I look at it now and I can definitely see the difference. Mad respect for knowing all that stuff too
Have you heard stories of how people used to meet their spouses?
"I fell down the stairs at a bar and I felt a stranger catch me. I looked up and there he was!" as if being on a staircase at the same time is the foundation for a healthy relationship.
Dating apps can be more soul crushing than job applications but, by sheer force of numbers, you're gonna find a good fit eventually.
Haven't you ever viewed a close friend differently after being their roommate for like a year and witnessing their gross, annoying habits and just generally the way they live day after day?
I'd imagine being married to someone for 20 years is like that times, well, 20.
Us youngens don't know what its like to eat avocado toast with the same person everyday for 30+ years.
"Honey, you sent me this meme thirty-five years ago."
So for a long, long time prior to the last 50 years ago pressure to get married both from family and society was huge, soooo... a lot of people married people they didn't love. Especially for women, they had to be married before they were 25 so many women basically went with the first guy who asked them. 7 years later, they realize they don't even like the person they are married too. And divorce before the 50's was very taboo, that was a great sin.
It's really weird, I'm constantly running into that boomer attitude like "working late to get some time away from the family". I rather get home early to hang out with my wife, I don't want to be here
Yeah like i get that everyone needs some alone time but the “ole ball & chain” shtick is sooo constant with a lot of boomers its actually kind of disturbing and must be fucking exhausting
Because boomer men thought they were getting a domestic slave, and they were severely disappointed when they realized they'd married a real person with their own needs and motivations who also had a legal right to their assets.
Oh! Let me try.
#SOCIETAL PRESSURES AND MY OWN POOR DECISIONS HAVE CORNERED ME INTO A MARRIAGE THAT I AM INCAPABLE OF BEING EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN AS GENERATIONS OF JADED AUTHORITY FIGURES HAVE LEFT ME WITH AN INABILITY TO PROPERLY PROCESS EMOTION OR BUILD HEALTHY AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS. ANYWAY, HERE'S A COMIC STRIP THAT CONFIRMS MY BIASES AND DISTRACTS ME FROM HAVING TO FACE MY SHAM OF A MARRIAGE.
I mean, who even has a fulfilling marriage and actually loves their spouse?
Men: propose to a woman. Get her to do the majority of the emotional labor, most of the housework even if the work the same hours. Live longer when married than when single while women don’t live as long when married compared to single.
Also men: I HATE MY WIFE MY LIFE IS SO MUCH WORSE
(Obligatory Hashtag not all men... but these stupid boomer humor creators)
Lol! [Minion Laughing](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6GZTPFVHcqV3g6RUizgIJx23IiwvNPz_Jtg&usqp=CAU) (wrote what it is so y'all don't have to actually click on it.)
How can you even joke about this? How can you think about your spouse killing themselves without feeling your stomach drop? Let alone urging them to do it? Holy shit this is *disgusting.*
Suicide isn't fucking funny.
Right, repress emotions. Don't feel anything.
I'm allowed to speak my mind as much as you are.
My friend's spouse OD'd while me and my fiance were in the house. I suppose you have never seen something like it, but it's not something to make fun of.
Suicide isn't funny and I'm allowed to say so. This sub is for criticizing or making fun of terrible Facebook memes.
If you don't like what I have to say, just keep scrolling, hm?
Bro I'm just trying to help you stay out of big blow ups on the internet and I don't give one about your friends spouse you can say what you want but people aren't going to change something because you don't like it now this is all I have to say and I have a great life
No, I just have respect for serious subjects. I'm a very lighthearted person until you start joking about extreme subjects that leave victims seriously damaged. So rape, suicide, etc is a no. Racism and homophobia are also a no but those are never jokes, just phobia masked as jokes.
I just consider the people around me who may have been affected by serious matters such as that and me not knowing. You never know what someone's gone through.
If you let a joke effect you that much then that's your issue and you need to seek counceling. I had a family member die of cancer a few years back but my life doesn't unravel if I hear a dark cancer joke. People are so mentally weak that they let the humor from a comedian or a meme wreck their entire life. And this is coming from someone who isn't mentally strong. I have anxiety and some depression but this humor is just jokes. If you let them effect you so much then your mentality is the problem.
It's not about me, it's about respecting other people. Maybe read what I said before using an irrelevant response.
I'm allowed to not like jokes. It doesn't hurt you.
Again, it doesn't hurt you for people to be sensitive to jokes. People cope and heal differently. Make jokes like that all you like, but don't be butthurt when people don't like them
>Is this even meme?
its not trying to be a meme
i know this is gonna come as a shock to a lot of people but no, not every image that is supposed to be funny is a meme.
this image and this joke predates meme culture by decades.
The rat is her husband trying to save her
We need to label rat as number 5
That or just move the 4 onto the rat. Either or could make for some decent r/comedynecromancy material
It’s a wind up cat toy. See the key.
I think it’s a rat but you could be right
Still could be the husband.
The rat is her husband?! That dirty rat...
I thought it was number 4 encouraging the rat to push her.
You know how old this is it's from before the internet and Facebook my parents have books from this artist and this Image was in one of them
Bet the original didn't have those pointless numbers.
It just said guess the husband or some shit
whats the book called?
I don't remember but the artist is called "ulli Stein" if I remember correctly he dose a lot of joke stuff like this calenders and mugs too
He died last year iirc
😔
2020
uli stein, with one L, a pretty famous german cartoonist
thank you!
Is that the “beyond the far side” series? I have a couple of them and the art style is quite similar
No, the Far Side comics were (are?) done by Gary Larson. This is actually a totally different style. I see some similarity in the way the woman is drawn with the Far Side, but I think that's probably just the artist trying to make the middle-aged woman look like a chonker.

I don't remember any Far Side comics that were like "wife bad, kill" but I could just not be remembering correctly.
The cartoonists name was Uli Stein. He also makes everyone fat
No way would Gary Larson would ever make a lame unoriginal joke like this
Yeah no dissin my man Gary. His shit is still funny imo. Original jokes, not just boomer humor.
Honestly, if you ignore all the text and numbers that were added on later, the joke in the picture alone by the original artist is pretty original. Only worth a quick smirk, and a very dark joke, but the original punchline isn't "wife bad". It's "hey, look everyone wants to save he-- oh. Oh NO."

Nah, you're good, dude. It's just been a family favorite my whole life, so I am pretty ok at recognizing when something isn't Far Side haha.
Artist? I wouldn't go that far!
And why would that be
Does everyone over 50 lowkey hate their spouses
They're not even lowkey about it. Like, fuck just die already
My Aunt's client just died at 105 lmao.
damn they must have died cursing others
They died in their money
Have you heard stories of how people used to meet their spouses? "I fell down the stairs at a bar and I felt a stranger catch me.

Ah! Lmao.
My grandparents don't seem too whenever I see them
Haven't you ever viewed a close friend differently after being their roommate for like a year and witnessing their gross, annoying habits and just generally the way they live day after day? I'd imagine being married to someone for 20 years is like that times, well, 20.
I’m 43. I love my wife. She loves me. She don’t even be sharing “husband oaf” memes. Fuck I can’t stand boomers.
Because they were taught that getting married is what you’re suppose to do so they did it and then found out it’s not for everyone.
No, just the ones that post these garbage “memes”.
Us youngens don't know what its like to eat avocado toast with the same person everyday for 30+ years. "Honey, you sent me this meme thirty-five years ago."
Why do boomers hate their spouses
Bad wife
Book good.
Why doesn’t the book work when I click it????????????
Father, I cannot click the book
phone bad book good!!
They never learned what a divorce is.
So for a long, long time prior to the last 50 years ago pressure to get married both from family and society was huge, soooo... a lot of people married people they didn't love. Especially for women, they had to be married before they were 25 so many women basically went with the first guy who asked them. 7 years later, they realize they don't even like the person they are married too.

Marry young and never divorce Christianity culture
It's really weird, I'm constantly running into that boomer attitude like "working late to get some time away from the family". I rather get home early to hang out with my wife, I don't want to be here

Well lucky you mine didn’t

If that’s how her husband treats her when she’s at rock bottom, I think I know why she’s suicidal.

Calm your tits bud keep scrolling if you don't like it
You realize the subreddit is called **terrible**facebookmemes right? Because they're bad?
Yeah I did and I know their bad in some people's eyes but there's no need to get mad on the internet it's not going to change anything
Right, repress emotions. Don't feel anything. I'm allowed to speak my mind as much as you are. My friend's spouse OD'd while me and my fiance were in the house.

And I've watched people die before its not something new to me
You must be crazy uptight to not be able to handle dark humor.
No, I just have respect for serious subjects. I'm a very lighthearted person until you start joking about extreme subjects that leave victims seriously damaged. So rape, suicide, etc is a no. Racism and homophobia are also a no but those are never jokes, just phobia masked as jokes. I just consider the people around me who may have been affected by serious matters such as that and me not knowing. You never know what someone's gone through.

Then those people are the problem and should seek counceling. Better?
Again, it doesn't hurt you for people to be sensitive to jokes. People cope and heal differently. Make jokes like that all you like, but don't be butthurt when people don't like them
None, she’s a lesbian and has a lovely girlfriend and they have a cat
The envelope is her husband.
WIFE BAD. DRINK WITH BOYS GOOD. DEAD WIFE, HAPPY LIFE.
Boomer memes
Hmm
5, he's at work trying to make a living wage
Haha wife bad suicide funni
None, she's lesbian
The fact that I immediately knew it was #4. Humanity/society is fucked.
Number one is her husband, he's just trying to save his partner.
1-4 is her husband
This feels like an ad for a shitty puzzle mobile game, except it’s not blindingly obvious enough for that
Definitely number 4
4
4
The concrete after she kisses it hard
Lmfao.. 4
3 is James Sunderland from silent hill 2
Well she sounds like fucking with all of them
Wife bad
We do a little trolling
4 because wife bad, phone bad, book good
Lmaoo the husband drove his wife into suicide !!🤣 /s
>Is this even meme? its not trying to be a meme i know this is gonna come as a shock to a lot of people but no, not every image that is supposed to be funny is a meme. this image and this joke predates meme culture by decades.

Is anybody able to laugh for this meme? It'a very cringe and stupid but not funny at all...
Jokes aside it's 4
2, this is her last resort to escape an abusive relationship
The pavement below, If she jumps she will see him!
this art style infuriates me beyond belief
she's just off to get her envelope
How can we know what gender any of these individuals identify as?
4
#4
Oh no an obvious joke that some people aren't equipped to handle
HE'S PUT A MOUSE DOWN!
Only good wife's a dead wife!
No, it's called a panel. If you have to ask, you are probably very young
What is it with the fucking dick noses in this art style?
How do you know she's not an animal lover??
First meme ive seen in a while that actually belongs here
No. It’s not a meme, kids. Back in the day, we called these comic strips.
I hope non if them they all look way to much like her
