44 Funny 4th of July Memes to Celebrate Independence Day

Enough with the fireworks

While you search for the best fireworks display near you, remember that your pup is living its worst day of the year.

Born ready

Let’s do this independence thing.

It’s time

A day of beer, barbecues and fun.

Sleep is for the unpatriotic

Ah, the middle-of-the-night home fireworks display. Is it Independence Day without it?

Just lounging

Hanging out on a beach chair … nothing to see here.

Ring, ring!

My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty … and really great dog memes.

I do declare!

Need a refresher on one of the most important documents in American history?

Get it?

Who doesn’t love a good pun in their funny 4th of July meme?

Stars, stripes and summertime

What would we even do? It wouldn’t feel like a vacation.

Eyes on the event

Everyone in the crowd may be filming the spectacle and playing 4th of July songs, but everyone in the crowd also knows that videos never do a fireworks display justice.

The bravest little patriots

Let freedom bark with these dog-tastic patriotic quotes.

I’m exploding with laughter

Whether this meme cracked you up or caused an eye-roll, you have to admit: It makes for a pretty great 4th of July Instagram caption.

The fundamental breakup

“We just need a break. It’s not you, England. It’s U.S.” And with that, Independence Day was born.

The most stressful time of the year

Anyone have some puppy-size noise-canceling headphones because dogs are typically afraid of fireworks.

A true patriot

Also likes bones and stealing hot dogs from human plates.

Let freedom ring

This is a dad joke if we’ve ever heard one!

Alternate history

If baking under the summer sun isn’t your idea of a fun 4th of July celebration, we have the solution: an Independence Day rewatch. It’s considered one of the best patriotic movies for a reason.

Reality bites

Here’s an idea (inspired by our Independence Day weekend): Let’s bring the office to the beach.

You know the one

And yes, they’re usually Ruffles.

The group chat is blowing up

Wish you could’ve been there!

An honest mistake

Hey, maybe the fireworks weren’t for them, but I’m sure they would appreciate a 4th of July getaway.

Red, white and blue

This tiny, furry Yankee Doodle is clearly adorable—just like these other cat memes.

Irreconcilable differences

But you’re cool, glamour.

Smells like summer

Somebody definitely said barbecue. We’ll be right over.

Stick to England, sir

The signers of the Declaration of Independence made sure of that.

There are so many

Hitting up a 4th of July party is fun, but have you ever tried staying home and scrolling through a feed full of grainy fireworks displays instead?

Friendly reminder

Talk about a joke! We’re pretty sure Thomas Jefferson had this event circled on his calendar. It was, after all, the most significant day of his life, as this 4th of July quote from him attests: “The only birthday I ever commemorate is that of our Independence, the Fourth of July.”

A classic tune

Add this to your 4th of July playlist ASAP.

It’s mandatory

Sorry, we don’t make the rules.

Sit back and relax

It’s time to celebrate like a real American: with food cooked on a grill.

Do it for the ‘gram

Hot off the grill

The ultimate debate

It’s tradition

Did someone say “lobster”?

Well done

Just chilling

Cannonball!

Hunger games

From shivering to sweltering

We the people …

… think it’s time to split up.

No thanks

Can we work from the pool today?

Let freedom ring

Talk about freedom! For a long weekend, that is. We’re setting the out-of-office message as we speak!

Hamburger or hot dog?

C’mon, you know you’ll just have both.
