Cyber Monday memes emerged as a digital counterpart to Black Friday humor, capturing the specific culture of high-speed online shopping and workplace distraction. While Black Friday memes often focus on physical crowds and store chaos, Cyber Monday humor leans into the irony of spending money while pretending to work or the realization that the 'best deals' are often items we never intended to buy. These memes frequently utilize relatable imagery of credit card debt and browser tabs to reflect the transition from holiday excitement to financial regret. Since the term was coined in 2005, it has become a annual tradition for internet creators to satirize the relentless nature of digital consumerism.
