“You’re worried about the wrong thing” memes make jokes about people worrying about one thing while neglecting a more important one.  With a combination of Twitter humor and dad humor, this meme format makes use of puns and homonyms, often presenting a scenario in which someone is hyper-focused on something while ignoring a more important thing with the same name.

Often addressing people as “mf’s,” these memes drag those who may be fixated on a hobby, standom, or relationship when they should be looking at the bigger picture.
