But what makes these memes tick, and how can they make learning easier?

As it turns out, humor has a profound impact on student engagement in online learning environments. Research conducted by academics revealed that using funny content can increase students' motivation and participation in class discussions.

Dr. Ronald A. Berk, Professor Emeritus of Biostatistics and Measurement at Johns Hopkins University, agrees, citing the American Psychological Association (APA) study: "When I enter the classroom, I want to change the entire atmosphere into one where everyone has fun with the material—even if the material is complex."

To illustrate this point, Berk took his students on a 'comedy-filled field trip' by having them enter the classroom accompanied by different themes - to explain statistical sampling designs. Not only did they remember statistics but that particular lesson stuck in their minds for long.

Moreover, funny memes can also improve knowledge retention. According to another study, both creating and using memes can enhance perception of retention.
