A dumb 13-year-old comes out with an embarrassing music video? Minutes later, a not-quite-flattering screenshot of her face is overlaid with made-up or manipulated quotes.

Seconds later, when we’ve posted that meme on five of our friends’ walls, we feel just a little bit superior for having brightened their days. Admit it. That’s you. Humor in a New York minute.
