Best Pathetic Memes
If you are feeling all the feels and heaviness and just want to scream – do it, while laughing and sharing these PATHETIC memes. Yes, memes that scream pathetic.

Each year I ditched the New Year’s Resolutions and decided to go with a word of the year several years back. I try to make it optimistic, but alas today I am in a snarky mood so might just want to make this year’s word PATHETIC.
Ah, the word “pathetic” is like a rollercoaster of emotions in the English language! It’s like that feeling when you see a baby kitten trying to roar like a lion – you can’t help but feel a mix of “aww, poor thing” and a dash of “seriously, dude?” all at once.
At its core, “pathetic” describes something or someone that elicits pity or evokes a sense of sorrow due to their weakness, insignificance, or unfortunate circumstances. Pathetically perfect, from our Schitts Creek memes.
In essence, “pathetic” reflects a complex interplay of emotions, often influenced by the context in which it is used, making it a word laden with both empathy and judgment.
Pathetic Simpsons Meme
The original pathetic meme is based off the infamous Principal Skinner from the hit cartoon TV series, The Simpsons.
While originally this pathetic meme is based off The Simpsons and Principal Skinner, we have found creative other ways to meme this using today’s top headlines.
Pathetic Cat Meme
Another popular pathetic meme is the pathetic cat meme.
But let’s face it, most cat faces say “pathetic”. Cats are judgmental. Don’t believe me? Read this article from NY Post about why cats look so judgmental.
“Cats are not judgmental … there might be other things causing that expression. Perhaps the cat is feeling cornered, or there’s another cat nearby, or maybe there’s a slight pain, or another animal [around],” certified cat behavior consultant Marilyn Krieger told The Post. I’m not buying it.
This pathetic cat meme is exactly why our house does not have a cat. Cat think they are superior and we already have enough kids around here who think they are superior. We don’t need any more of a competition for superiors!
Pathetic can refer to situations where we may feel compassion or empathy for someone’s struggles.
