I feel this. While I am not overly fond of capitalism or the United States government, most of the memes criticizing them are so un-funny they hurt. They weren't made because the OP had a funny idea for a meme, but because they wanted to insult the U.S. or capitalism and had to find some joke to do it. They feels so forced.

I think we as a community can balance making a political point with being actually funny at least a little better than we do
