Ben and Friends Choose Summoning Satan Over Hiring a Lawyer

This meme consists of two parts: top text that reads 'Ben and friends asking Satan for help instead of a lawyer', and a lower illustration of three people wearing dark red hooded cloaks kneeling around a small ritual fire with lit candles, set in a wooded mountain landscape. All three figures are posed as if praying or summoning a supernatural entity. The joke relies on the widespread negative cultural stereotype of lawyers being untrustworthy, overly expensive, or ineffective, to the point that making a deal with the devil is framed as a more appealing option for people facing legal issues.

Ben and friends asking Satan for help instead of a lawyer

Overview

This meme consists of two parts: top text that reads 'Ben and friends asking Satan for help instead of a lawyer', and a lower illustration of three people wearing dark red hooded cloaks kneeling around a small ritual fire with lit candles, set in a wooded mountain landscape. All three figures are posed as if praying or summoning a supernatural entity. The joke relies on the widespread negative cultural stereotype of lawyers being untrustworthy, overly expensive, or ineffective, to the point that making a deal with the devil is framed as a more appealing option for people facing legal issues.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the r/Meme subreddit on Reddit, as stated in the provided RSS source metadata. It repurposes a popular 'group summoning ritual' meme template to make a sarcastic joke about public distrust of lawyers.

The meme is structured as a text setup followed by a reaction image. The text lays out a silly scenario: Police tell the narrator to sit on a chair for questioning, the narrator's lawyer whispers an instruction to deny everything, so the narrator immediately follows this advice by pointing out 'Hey that isn't a chair!', taking the lawyer's direction far too literally. The final line 'My lawyer:' is followed by a screenshot of Shrek half-submerged in mud, wearing an awkward forced grin that perfectly expresses the lawyer's disbelief, frustration, and embarrassment at his client's foolish choice of what to deny.

This is a single-panel joke meme set in a courtroom scenario. The text lays out the joke: the judge declares the defendant (labeled "Me") not guilty, and the defendant responds with "Thanks I won't do it again", accidentally confirming he actually committed the crime he was just acquitted for. Under the "My lawyer:" label, an image of an uncanny, exaggerated low-poly 3D man with a horrified, stunned, wide-eyed expression is shown to represent the lawyer's disbelief at the defendant's foolish self-incriminating mistake. The humor comes from the defendant's accidental confession immediately after being found innocent.

A meme consisting of a top text overlay and an image. The top text reads: 'My bosses crediting themselves for giving me "benefits" that they have a legal obligation to provide:'. Below the text is an image featuring two instances of Barack Obama: one smiling Obama in the foreground receiving a blue ribbon medal, and another serious Obama in the background pinning the medal on him. The humor stems from the sarcastic comparison of employers patting themselves on the back for fulfilling legal obligations (e.g., mandatory benefits) to a formal medal ceremony, highlighting the absurdity of taking credit for necessary actions.

A two-panel meme featuring a fantasy knight in armor. The top panel shows the knight holding a sword with the text 'Demon about to kill me as an 8 year old', representing childhood fear of imaginary demons. The bottom panel shows the same knight with an arrow labeled 'A blanket', humorously implying that a blanket was the simple yet effective solution to combat such fears during childhood, and the joke extends to the idea that this comfort still works even at 20 years old.

This meme uses a cropped fragment of an old Renaissance religious painting, which depicts a horned devil (representing Satan) whispering into the ear of a bearded man. Text added to the image reads at the top 'And then Satan said:', and over the painting reads 'Put the alphabet into math'. The joke plays on the common student frustration with algebra, which introduces letters (the alphabet) as variables in mathematical equations, framing the entire concept of using letters in math as an evil, cruel invention from Satan.

This meme combines a text question posing a common theological paradox with a popular reaction image of Jim Halpert from the US version of The Office. The top text points out a logical inconsistency in common popular Christian narratives about hell and Satan, asking why Satan would punish people for disobeying the same God he himself rebelled against. The image of Jim below has a contemplative, slightly confused skeptical expression, as if he is just realizing this contradictory 'glitch in the matrix' of religious logic, as referenced by the original post title.

A meme featuring a photograph of a billboard advertisement for Larry L. Archie, an attorney at law. The top of the meme contains the text 'I think I found my new Lawyer' in bold black letters. Below this, the billboard displays a smiling photograph of Larry L. Archie, along with his law office details: 'The Law Office Of LARRY L. ARCHIE ATTORNEY AT LAW', address '101 S. Elm St. Suite 35', phone number '336.285.7202', and areas of practice including 'Criminal Law', 'DUI Support', etc. A yellow circle prominently highlights the slogan on the billboard: 'Just Because You Did It Doesn't Mean You're Guilty.' The humor stems from the sarcastic implication that the attorney specializes in defending clients who may have committed an act but can still avoid legal guilt, prompting the meme creator to joke about selecting this lawyer.

This meme is arranged as a 2-section collage. The top panel shows a shirtless adult man standing inside a red, fleshy, tunnel-shaped space, looking sideways with a confused, disoriented expression. The bottom section uses the widely popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' 3-panel reaction format: the left panel is the normal, smiling Mr. Incredible from *The Incredibles* labeled 'People who don't know', the middle panel is the unsettling black and white distorted version of Mr. Incredible labeled 'People who know', and the right panel is the faded, distressed, heavily distorted version of Mr. Incredible labeled 'People who wish they didn't know'. The meme relies on inside joke context: the top panel is a screenshot from a notoriously graphic, disturbing adult viral video, so viewers who recognize the source have the negative reactions shown in the middle and right panels, while unknowing viewers do not understand the reference.

A 4-panel comic meme depicting a humorous interaction between a person and a genie. Panel 1: The genie (purple, with a yellow belt) asks, 'Now, what's your third and final wish?' while the person holds a golden lamp. Panel 2: The person smiles and responds, 'I wish that you forgot who I was.' Panel 3: The genie states, 'Your wish is granted.' Panel 4: The genie, now oblivious, greets the person as a stranger: 'Greetings kind stranger, I shall grant you three wishes,' creating an infinite loop where the person effectively gains 'permanent incognito mode' with the genie, resetting the wish count indefinitely.

This meme uses a screenshot of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, where he stands with crossed arms looking out a night window with a thoughtful, skeptical expression. The overlaid text jokes that the poster watches other people successfully get away with making illegal money, because they are convinced that if they tried the same thing, God would immediately catch them and use them as a public warning example. The joke relies on relatable anxiety about personal bad luck: being the one who gets punished even when many others do the same thing without consequences.

A meme featuring a two-part layout: the top section contains white text on a black background reading, 'The doctor after hearing that a 3rd monkey has fallen off the bed (He specifically said NO MORE Monkeys jumping on the bed):'. Below this text is a screenshot of Alex the Lion from the animated film *Madagascar*, depicted with a shocked, wide-eyed expression and an open-mouthed look of exasperation. The lion is holding a small mug in his left hand and gesturing with his right hand, as if in disbelief or frustration. The background shows blurred police elements, consistent with the original movie scene. The humor stems from referencing the classic children's rhyme 'Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed,' where monkeys repeatedly fall off the bed despite the doctor's warnings, exaggerated here through Alex's over-the-top shocked reaction.

This is a single panel meme playing on the common Miranda rights line given to arrested individuals that guarantees a court-appointed attorney if they cannot afford one. The top of the meme displays the text: "If you cannot find an attorney one will be appointed for you" followed by "The attorney:". Below this text is a candid photograph of a disheveled, bearded man in glasses wearing a slightly ill-fitting suit, standing with an awkward wide stance in a public hallway, holding a tablet while speaking to another man in casual workwear. The joke relies on the implication that this court-appointed attorney looks so unprofessional, awkward, and potentially incompetent that any defendant would choose to decline representation instead of being represented by him, which aligns with the original meme title "i think I'll pass".
