As far as shows from the CW go, few go more in-depth in terms of supernatural drama than The Vampire Diaries. First airing in September 2009, the show lasted for eight seasons before it finally came to an end in March 2017. The show boasts an impressive 171 episodes, a large fan base, as well as a successful spin-off series titled The Originals, which is currently in the process of entering its fifth season.

In addition to exploring the relationships between humans and the paranormal, the show also explores the romance between humans and supernatural beings like vampires, werewolves, and witches. Furthermore, the show features an abundance of supernatural horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

However, every so often, the show incorporates some elements of comedy in their episodes to balance out all of the drama. Several times throughout the series, both comedic and serious moments were the source for some of the most hilarious memes involving The Vampire Diaries.

Thanks to several moments across various episodes, along with a little internet touch on behalf of fans, some of the funniest memes on the Internet were created.

Here is a list featuring 15 Memes From The Vampire Diaries That Are Way Too Funny!

15. Everyone Sees Things Differently

Despite its popularity among its fan base, some groups have shown mixed criticism toward the plot of The Vampire Diaries. Each of these groups have their own interpretation about what they believe the show is all about.

It also does not help that Elena meeting Stefan bears many similarities to how Edward meets Bella in Twilight.

Beyond that, there are also diverse ways that people interpret how fans see the series. Friends are more likely to associate the show with intense fandom, or a true fan may find that the show is all about Ian Somerhalder’s breathtaking performance. On the other hand, society and Twilight fans are more likely to associate vampires from both series as being part of the same category. The latter really is not what the series should be aiming for, so its a good thing that it deviated greatly in later seasons.

14. The Vampire Diaries VS Twilight

For centuries, vampires have been one of the most popular subjects in fictional literature. One moment they look young and beautiful, the next they turn into deadly predators that want to hurt you.

However, most novels tend to add a little original touch to their vampires. In the case of the Twilight series, Edward Cullen’s breed of vampire can survive in sunlight, but their skin shines like diamonds making them stand out in a crowd.

Sadly, not everyone is as appreciative of the vampires from the Twilight universe. In pop culture, there are several dishonorable mentions and references towards how terribly they represent other vampires. This led to a meme where both Damon and Stefan join in on the Twilight vampire bashing. Truly, there is no greater insult than to be made fun of by Damon Salvatore.

13. Elena Lies To Herself... A Lot

From the moment she was born, Elena’s life has been filled with complications. One of the most complicated aspects about Elena is how her opinions of people are constantly shifting from bad to good and vice versa. One moment, she views someone as an evil person, only to later treat them with kindness and sympathy.

Her relationship with both Salvatore brothers is just one example of her shifting opinions.

Originally, she was hesitant to be with Stefan due to him being a vampire, only to eventually fall for him, and then break up with him again after his emotions were turned off by Klaus. Elena despised him for his lack of empathy and for ending the lives of the town's inhabitants - many of whom were people she knew, like Vicki Donovan.

12. Damon Meets Edith

When he first appeared at the start of The Vampire Diaries, it was almost impossible to picture Damon as anything but a monster. In the years following his return to Mystic Falls, Damon has mellowed out considerably. Several of the show’s main cast either tolerate his presence or see him as a trusted ally.

At the end of the day, nothing changes the fact that Damon is the typical bad boy who just loves to cause trouble and get on people’s nerves. Thus, it makes sense that this meme would feature him catching the attention of Edith from the Despicable Me franchise.

Both characters share similar traits, such as both having destructive tendencies, a macabre sense of humor, and their shared love for pushing other peoples’ buttons. In a way, it's only logical that Edith would idolize Damon and follow him.

11. Even Vampire Diaries Has An LOTR Meme

As far as memes go, one of the most popular ever made in the history of the Internet is the "One Does Not Simply” meme. The origin of this meme traces back to Sean Bean in his role as Boromir from the Lord of the Rings films. Also known for playing Ned Stark on Game of Thrones, Bean describes this meme as being part of his unintended legacy.

This meme is used for situations in which a person can’t just do something as if it’s the simplest thing in the world.

Due to the meme’s popularity, it is no surprise that it would target popular TV shows such as The Vampire Diaries. In a way, once a person starts watching the show, it's almost impossible to stop watching it without seeing what happens next.

10. When The Winchesters Threaten The Vampire Diaries

In terms of supernatural dramas, The Vampire Diaries has some major competition when compared to its fellow older CW series, Supernatural. Both series feature similar elements, including two brother protagonists, as well as fighting threats that are of a supernatural origin.

However, unlike Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries does not have as large a universe for its characters to explore. Plus, the protagonists Sam and Dean Winchester have fought against stronger threats such as demons, angels, Leviathans, and the literal Devil.

It is safe to say that Sam and Dean would not have any trouble dealing with the supernatural threats present in The Vampire Diaries universe. This is a fact which Jensen Ackles makes extremely clear by claiming that if they ever cross over both Sam and Dean would wipe them all out.

9. The Moment You Realize That Damon Helped Alaric

Whether it's between family members, lovers, or friends, The Vampire Diaries has no shortage of dysfunctional relationships. Damon and Alaric’s relationship is just one of many examples.

After his arrival in Mystic Falls, Alaric reveals that he is hunting a vampire responsible for ending the life of his wife, Isobel Flemming. Eventually, he confronts the perpetrator who is none other than Damon.

Fortunately for Damon, Alaric learns that Damon never did this to his wife, but instead, turned her into a vampire.

Furthermore, he explains that she asked him to do it because it was something she had always wanted. When she further reveals herself as cruel and manipulative, suffice it to say things don’t really work out between her and Alaric.

On the other hand, following these events, both Damon and Alaric resolve their differences and become good friends. When you think about it, Damon’s actions may have helped Alaric in the long run.

8. Jingle Bells - Vampire Diaries Style

The Christmas song "Jingle Bells" is one of the most classic examples of holiday music. The rhymes and feel of the lyrics can also be adapted to make fun of or popularize certain aspects of a TV show or the characters within it.

In addition to iconic series like Batman and Spongebob Squarepants, the song has also been adapted by fans of The Vampire Diaries to highlight the pros and cons of the series. In this meme, we observe a negative description of both Tyler and Matt, and their wasted potential in the show. Of course, nothing is complete without a comparison between Damon and Stefan about who is the hotter brother.

Not only is the meme accurate, the jingle it delivers is quite catchy as well.

7. The Psycho You Can't Help But Love

As an original vampire/werewolf hybrid, Klaus is one of the most powerful supernatural beings in The Vampire Diaries. He is also one of the most sadistic and does not hesitate to eliminate people he sees as a threat. This also extends to his own family, as he does not hesitate to incapacitate his siblings Elijah and Rebekah.

On the other hand, even though Klaus does not have a high regard for life, he still feels remorse for his actions.

He also has some level of honor, as he always keeps his word. He develops strong feelings for the people closest to him, which ironically, includes his siblings despite his past transgressions towards them. While Klaus may enjoy the occasional criminal act, deep down, he is an emotional person who values love and family more than anything else.

6. What About Damon?

In the early days of The Vampire Diaries, Elena and Stefan were the strongly-admired power couple of the show. Despite being a vampire, Stefan develops feelings for Elena after he saves her life following a terrible car crash. This in turn makes him want to become a better person.

A few years following this incident, Stefan and Elena confront each other over their feelings and officially become a couple. For a while everything seems good for them, until Klaus forces Stefan to turn off his humanity.

What follows is the end of Stefan and Elena as he returns to his old Ripper persona. Thankfully, Elena has Damon to help her through such trying times. However, despite the love and affection she shares with Damon, Elena always seems to drift straight back into Stefan's arms.

5. The Moment You Realize Living Isn't Super Important...

When dealing with the paranormal, it’s highly likely that there are going to be a few demises here and there. With so many creatures native to the occult, The Vampire Diaries is infamous for ending the lives of its characters.

People pass away so frequently that the main characters have become desensitized.

Most of the time, some of these characters have passed away more than once. If anything, it is more unusual for them all to survive. As the meme above demonstrates, every time Elena and her friends go out at night to have some fun, it’s a guarantee that there will be bloodshed. In the first season alone, the total body count exceeds at least 50 people.

4. Everybody Hates Elena

Even though Elena is one of the series' main characters, it doesn't mean that she does not have her flaws. When compared to her other role as Katherine, Elena does not have much to compensate for in terms of both ability and personality. Most of the time, she becomes a burden to some of the other characters. When in danger, she always relies on Damon, Stefan, or another one of her allies to get her out of trouble.

This is why the above meme captures how most people feel about Elena. Furthermore, Damon’s witty and sarcastic banter, coupled with a Mean Girls reference, is the ideal choice to show how annoying Elena is. Thankfully, as a vampire, Elena undergoes a transition that makes her somewhat more bearable compared to when she was a human.

3. It’s Gonna Be Legen… Wait For It… Diary!

Even before Elena met Stefan, Mystic Falls had always been a magnet for paranormal phenomena. All the while, most of the human populace remains blissfully unaware of the supernatural threats plaguing the town.

At one point in time, Elena truly believed that Mystic Falls was just another ordinary and boring small town in America - that is until she met the Salvatore brothers. While Stefan commits himself to protecting Elena from threats like other vampires, Damon is all to eager to raise a little hell.

When Elena tells Damon nothing bad ever happens in a small town like Mystic Falls, he takes it as a challenge.

In the end, Damon’s interference ends up exposing the dark side of Mystic Falls to Elena and her friends. Even before she knew he was a vampire, challenging Damon, even unintentionally, was not one of her best decisions.

2. Damon Loves Authenticity

Out of all the vampires in The Vampire Diaries, no one knows how to draw in a crowd like Damon Salvatore. Sarcastic, as well as a bit of a hell-raiser, Damon has been called many things. However, one thing that he always strives to achieve is to have fun.

He makes a habit of using his compelling abilities to have people do his bidding, whether for himself or others.

Despite his personality, Damon does care about his brother deep down and would do anything to make him happy. Thus, when the time came for Damon to go all out for his brother’s wedding, he makes sure to draw in a crowd.

Say what you want about him, Damon really knows how to pull off an authentic wedding.

1. Damon Compels

Ian Somerhalder has long been regarded as one of the best actors on The Vampire Diaries. Among the many actors who auditioned for the role, he was the ideal candidate to portray Damon’s unique persona.

As a vampire, one of the most frequently used powers that Damon relies on is his ability to compel humans. In early seasons, he frequently uses this power to compel attractive girls to party with him, and then later feed on them.

Even after he matures into a dependable character, Damon still relies on his ability to compel others to achieve the best results. Thus, it is only natural that we see a meme featuring Damon compelling us to spread his greatness. Regardless of our decision, we really don’t have a choice other than to obey his wishes.
