This is a relatable ironic meme made of text dialogue paired with a popular reaction image. The dialogue sets up a simple scenario: a doctor asks their patient why they missed their scheduled appointment the day before, and the patient replies that they were sick. The doctor's reaction is represented by a heavily distorted, wide-eyed, frowning edited version of Lord Farquaad from the Shrek franchise, which conveys dumbfounded, unimpressed, awkward amusement at the irony of the excuse: people normally visit a doctor when they are sick, making the excuse logically sound while being humorously contradictory to the purpose of the appointment.

This meme is split into two parts: a text dialogue setup at the top, and a widely used viral reaction photo at the bottom.

When the doctor first answers '5', the patient assumes it refers to years or months, but the doctor immediately follows up with '4', revealing they are counting down seconds until the patient's death. The bottom image shows a Black man in a suit with wide eyes, pursed lips, and an extremely shocked, panicked expression, representing the patient's horrified reaction to realizing they only have seconds left to live.

This two-panel meme uses the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template to express relatable post-pandemic anxiety around illness. The first panel shows a normal, smiling Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr from Pixar's The Incredibles) next to text reading 'You wake up with a sore throat', representing mild initial concern about a minor physical symptom. The second panel features the distorted, unsettling uncanny version of Mr. Incredible paired with text reading 'It doesn't go away after a few hours', conveying rising worry that the symptom indicates a more serious illness like COVID-19. The meme's title references the common sentiment that many people expected frequent seasonal illness and COVID waves to stop circulating after the month of May, only for illnesses to continue appearing unexpectedly.

This is a 4-panel vertical relatable meme. Panel 1: A white cartoon figure labeled 'ME' happily reaches for a large yellow orb marked 'ICE CREAM'. Panel 2: A pink blob labeled 'SORE THROAT' grabs the protagonist from behind, holding them back as they strain to reach the ice cream while sweating nervously. Panel 3: A larger orange blob labeled 'A COLD' grabs both the sore throat blob and the protagonist, pulling them further away from the now more distant ice cream, the protagonist looks dejected. Panel 4: A huge dark blue blob labeled 'SOUNDING LIKE A DYING DEMENTOR FOR 3 DAYS' grabs all three previous characters, holding them completely away from the ice cream which is now barely visible. The joke illustrates the common frustrating experience of craving ice cream when you get sick, only for worsening cold symptoms to progressively prevent you from enjoying the treat, culminating in you being severely hoarse and unwell. The 'dying dementor' line references Harry Potter to humorously describe how a severe cold makes your voice sound.
