Saturday night belongs to the night owls, and Manhattan just got literal ones: a family of barn owls nesting on an Upper West Side water tower. Crowds stand on the sidewalk staring up at them for hours, which is also my plan tonight, just aimed at a phone. A fresh pile of funny memes lands here every night, and Thursday’s Nightcap is still warm if you missed it. Here are 25 more.

Funny memes for a Saturday night in

If an engine lying in the middle of the highway isn’t a sign to go to bed, I don’t know what is, and I’m still not going. The Morning Commute brings fresh funny pictures tomorrow morning, and the next Nightcap shows up tomorrow night. In between, dig through some funny cat memes or the can’t sleep memes for anyone still up at 2am. If one of these made you snort, pass it to whoever else is awake way too late.
