Spin-offs that succeeded

1. Humans of Spirit Airlines 

@humansofspiritairlines 

Spirit Airlines is an ultra low-cost airline in the United States. To say that everybody has a problem with their barely-there service is an understatement. Even if you've never flown Spirit Airlines, you've definitely heard of them on the internet. On this page of memes and actual news stories, there's enough to entertain anyone looking for a laugh, especially if you've ever flown a low-cost carrier.

2. Cats of Instagram 

@catsofinstagram 

If you like cats, you're probably already following this account. From Reels to posts to memes to just plain, static images (yes, those still exist) of all-round cute kitties and grumpy cats, this page has something for everyone. Just don't forget to paws and leave them a like. See what we did there?

3. Humans of Corporate

@humansofcorporate 

Spot-on memes and tweets about corporate life. Take comfort in knowing that your own frustration is shared with by many others. (What time is the revolution? Are we eating the rich today or tomorrow?) The humour is dry, sarcasm hits hard.

4. Dogs of New York
