This single-panel meme jokes about the high-stakes scenario of Greek soldiers hiding inside the Trojan Horse during the Trojan War, referencing the need to stay completely silent to avoid being caught. The image shows an illustration of an Ancient Greek hoplite soldier wearing a traditional golden helmet with a large red crest, making a deadpan, clearly amused expression that looks like he is fighting hard not to burst out laughing. The premise makes a relatable comparison to the common modern experience of being in a situation where you cannot laugh, but your friend makes a face that makes holding in laughter almost impossible.

A meme featuring a humorous comparison between the hypothetical question 'Could 100 men beat a gorilla?' and the historical reality of human ancestors' hunting practices. The top text poses the debate question, followed by the caption 'Literally our ancestors:' above an illustration of prehistoric humans using spears to hunt a large mammoth.

This meme responds to the common internet hypothetical debate asking if 100 men could win a fight against 1 gorilla. The top text poses the debate question, then states "Literally our ancestors", followed by an image of a prehistoric cave painting that depicts a small group of early human ancestors hunting a massive woolly mammoth, an animal far larger and more powerful than a single gorilla. The joke illustrates that prehistoric humans regularly successfully hunted animals much stronger than gorillas, so 100 modern humans would easily win the hypothetical fight against one gorilla.

This is a two-panel satirical meme referencing common stereotypes about French military history. The first panel, labeled 'The history of France', depicts a cartoon character representing France (marked with the French national flag) crawling on the ground about to be tackled by a flying figure covered in a collage of flags from many different countries, representing the large number of military conflicts France has participated in across its long history. The second panel, labeled 'How people remember it', depicts the same scene, except the flying figure is now only marked with the German national flag, joking about the widespread pop culture stereotype that most people only associate French military history with being defeated by Germany during World War II, ignoring all other parts of its historical conflict record.

This is a two-part meme: the top section has text setting up a scenario where a time traveler casually asks a WWI soldier if the current time period is WWI or WWII. Below the setup text is a low-resolution 3D animated character with a shocked, deeply disturbed, horrified expression, presented as the WWI soldier's reaction. The humor comes from dramatic irony: the time traveler's innocent question reveals to the WWI soldier that a second devastating global world war will occur after the conflict he is currently fighting, prompting his stunned, horrified reaction.

This is a 2-panel satirical Wojak meme mocking people who promote the conspiracy theory that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids instead of native ancient Egyptians. In the first panel, a smug light-skinned Wojak with glasses and a fade haircut claims to a neutral grey alien: 'You guys built the pyramids', and the alien replies 'We didn't'. In the second panel, the same Wojak is now angry, crying, and gritting his teeth as he says to a smiling ancient Egyptian Wojak wearing a pharaonic crown: 'You guys didn't build the pyramids', and the Egyptian responds 'We did'. The joke highlights the bad faith and biased logic of conspiracy theorists who reject both the fact that aliens did not build the pyramids and that ancient Egyptians were the actual builders.

This is a single panel absurdist comic meme depicting the afterlife entrance, traditionally referred to as the Christian pearly gates. Three figures representing Abrahamic religious adherents: a Christian priest with cross imagery on his clothing, a Jewish man wearing a kippah, and a Muslim man wearing a turban, stand at the gates looking upward in shock. A speech bubble near the gates reads 'Uh oh', referring to their surprise at seeing the Norse god Odin standing behind a bright yellow podium labeled 'ODIN' at the entrance, instead of the religious figure they expected to be in charge of heaven. One of Odin's iconic ravens is perched on his shoulder, while another flies overhead in the blue sky above clouds that surround the gate area. The joke centers on the absurd premise that Norse mythology was the correct religion, and all Abrahamic faiths were wrong about the afterlife.

A meme featuring a humorous comparison between ancient Egyptian worship of Bastet (the cat goddess) and modern cat owners. The top text reads 'Ancient Egyptians praying to the goddess Bastet'. Below the text is a photograph of a hairless Sphynx cat standing on a wooden cabinet, reaching up with one paw to touch a glass vase containing a tall white candle. From the bottom of the image, human hands are reaching upward toward the cat, seemingly in a gesture to either worship or prevent the cat from knocking over the candle. The joke lies in equating the cat's mischievous behavior with the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Bastet, a goddess often depicted as a cat.
