Aztec spirits finally getting their vengeance

This meme features the four classic 1960s *Spider-Man* animated series villains (the cast of the popular 'Me and the Boys' meme template) superimposed as semi-transparent, ghost-like figures over a background of overgrown Aztec ruins in a jungle setting. White text at the top of the image reads 'Two european cruises struck by two continental American viruses'. The joke leans into dark historical satire: it frames viruses originating from the Americas impacting European cruises as payback for European colonizers bringing foreign diseases that killed huge portions of Indigenous Mesoamerican (including Aztec) populations after arriving in the Americas, with the cartoon villains representing the vengeful Aztec spirits referenced in the title.

Origin notes

This meme is sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed as specified in the provided source metadata. It is a remixed version of the widely circulated 'Me and the Boys' meme template, which uses screenshots of villains from the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon. The editor combined the template characters with an Aztec ruin background and added topical text referencing cruise virus outbreaks to create the historical karma joke, which was shared on Reddit meme communities.

A meme featuring characters from SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants is standing on the left, wearing a white hat and holding a Union Jack (UK) flag, with a smug, grinning expression. To the right, Squidward Tentacles stands in a blue doorway filled with golden objects, holding a US flag, looking uncomfortable with half-closed eyes and an open mouth. Around Squidward are labeled country names: 'Canada' (top), 'Greenland' (right), 'Panama' (bottom left), and 'Venezuela' (bottom right). At the bottom of the image is the text: 'You like imperialism don't you America'. The meme humorously suggests a parallel between UK and US imperialism, playing on the phrase 'the apple doesn't fall far' to imply the US inherited imperialist tendencies from the UK.

A four-panel meme featuring Homer Simpson from the animated series 'The Simpsons.' The top text reads 'When an American travels to a foreign country:'. In the first panel, Homer stands wearing a white shirt with an American flag design. The second and third panels show Homer progressively hiding behind green bushes. The fourth panel reveals Homer emerging from the bushes, now wearing a red cap with a Canadian flag, implying he is pretending to be Canadian. The joke hinges on the stereotype that Americans may pose as Canadians while traveling abroad, leveraging the perceived similarity in accents between the two nationalities to avoid negative stereotypes.

Thank god Americans and Canadians sound the same.

This two-panel meme makes a funny joke about the geography of the three Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The top panel features three real cats cuddled tightly together: a brown tabby cat labeled Norway is pressed against the left side of a white cat labeled Sweden, while an orange cat labeled Finland snuggles against Sweden's right side. The white Sweden cat looks visibly uncomfortable and squished, with its fangs bared in a strained expression. The bottom panel shows a colored map of the three countries that perfectly matches the cat arrangement: Sweden is geographically sandwiched tightly between Norway to the west and Finland to the east, just like the cat is squeezed between the other two cats. The joke plays on the observation that Sweden has no 'personal space' between its two neighboring countries.

This is a two-panel meme using characters from *SpongeBob SquarePants* to joke about the common size distortion of Antarctica on most standard world maps (most famously the Mercator projection). In the top panel, a giant Plankton labeled "Antarctica on a map" looms over a tiny SpongeBob labeled "The other continents", showing how oversized Antarctica appears on most maps. In the bottom panel, the roles are flipped: a giant SpongeBob labeled "Most other continents" holds a tiny Plankton labeled "Antarctica in real life", illustrating that Antarctica is actually much smaller than it appears on maps relative to other continents.

A two-panel meme using screenshots from a Western-style movie. The top panel shows two individuals with ropes around their necks, labeled 'europe being bullied by the usa,' depicting Europe as distressed. The bottom panel features another individual with a rope, labeled 'latin america,' with the text '-First time?' implying Latin America is accustomed to such bullying, contrasting Europe's reaction.

This is a two-panel SpongeBob SquarePants reaction meme. The top panel depicts a large, intimidating, muscular green mutated monster with sharp teeth and red eyes labeled '*Hantavirus in 2026*', looming over a small SpongeBob who faces away from the monster. The bottom panel cuts to a close-up of SpongeBob, labeled 'People*', who has half-lidded eyes and a bored, completely unimpressed expression, showing no fear of the supposedly threatening virus. The core joke is that after living through multiple public health crises including the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent virus scares, the general public is no longer frightened by news of new potential virus outbreaks, to the point that even a future hantavirus would be met with total indifference, effectively being 'bullied' by the lack of public reaction.

This is a two-panel comparison anime meme. The top left text reads "When Americans punch their wall", paired with an art of a red-haired anime girl punching an interior wall and easily breaking through its surface. The bottom left text reads "When Europeans punch their wall", paired with the same red-haired anime girl crying in pain, holding her badly bruised forehead after punching a wall that was not damaged at all. The joke relies on the common stereotype that American residential properties are built with thin, soft drywall that breaks easily when impacted, while European residential properties are built with much harder, sturdier materials like brick or concrete that will injure the person punching instead of breaking.

A two-panel meme featuring a red-furred puppet monkey with a neutral, slightly confused expression, standing sideways and facing left. The top text overlay reads 'Australians when they hear Trump's' and the bottom text continues 'invading Greenland to save them from China'. The meme humorously depicts the hypothetical reaction of Australians to former U.S. President Donald Trump's 2019 controversial proposal to purchase Greenland, satirically framed here as an 'invasion' to 'save' the region from China. The puppet's unchanged expression in both panels emphasizes a deadpan or bewildered reaction.

The first panel shows a woman smiling and stating, "Greenland should be for Greenlanders." The second panel shows a man responding seriously, "Yes, and Britain for the British." The third panel shows the woman looking displeased, suggesting a shift in her reaction to the man's nationalist statement. The overlaid text creates a dialogue that touches on themes of nationalism and regional identity, likely intended to satirize or comment on separatist sentiments.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a shot of frustrated General Hux from Star Wars: The Force Awakens for both panels. The first panel has overlaid text stating 'I DON'T CARE THAT ARGENTINA LOST', while the second panel has text reading 'I JUST WANT MEMES TO GO BACK TO NORMAL'. It expresses the relatable frustration of internet users with no interest in sports who are tired of their meme feeds being flooded with sports-related content after a high-profile Argentina national football team loss, likely from a FIFA World Cup match.

This meme first establishes a seemingly consistent logical pattern: three European sovereign states' governance classification directly corresponds to the title of their ruling monarch: the UK is a Kingdom ruled by a king, Luxembourg is a Duchy ruled by a duke, and Monaco is a Principality ruled by a prince. The pattern is abruptly broken by the line 'America is a Country', followed by the two-panel Awkward Look Monkey Puppet meme where the puppet first glances sideways, then looks away awkwardly. The humor comes from the unstated implied punchline: following the established pattern, the line would logically continue that America is ruled by a 'count', creating an absurd, awkward joke that also pokes fun at the US not fitting the European monarchy naming convention.
