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.

This is a 5-panel ascending positive reaction meme using edited versions of the character Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) from Pixar's *The Incredibles*. Each panel pairs an increasingly happy/euphoric edit of Mr. Incredible with a step in a common gamer experience: 1) Normal neutral Mr. Incredible paired with the line "YOU FIND A GAME", 2) Shocked confused desaturated Mr. Incredible paired with "IT DOESN'T CLICK WITH YOU", 3) Tired disinterested pale Mr. Incredible paired with "YOU FORGET ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME", 4) Happy slightly glowing Mr. Incredible paired with "YOU COME BACK ONE DAY", 5) Glowing rainbow euphoric Mr. Incredible paired with "BEST GAME YOU'VE EVER PLAYED". The meme humorously depicts the common experience of initially disliking a game, only to fall in love with it when revisiting it at a later date.

This is a single-panel absurdist shock meme. It opens with the common bad-faith deflection people use against accusations of racism: the top text quotes the claim "I'M NOT RACIST. I HAVE A BLACK FRIEND", then labels the image below as "THE BLACK FRIEND:". The image shows a Black man posing for the camera while wearing a full Nazi German officer uniform with Nazi insignia on the cap, and a see-no-evil monkey emoji censoring the swastika on his armband, while he holds a rifle. The joke is an ironic twist: the black friend the speaker cites to prove they are not racist is himself a follower of Nazism, an ideology rooted in extreme anti-Black racism, which completely undermines the speaker's dishonest claim.

This is a 4-panel comedic webcomic. The first panel shows a blonde cartoon man in a green shirt standing with his hands on his hips next to a wall-mounted mirror, quoting the classic Snow White line: 'MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL'. In the second panel, he continues addressing the mirror, asking 'DO YOU THINK I'M CUTE AT ALL'. The third panel shows the mirror alone, angled as if preparing to respond. The fourth panel delivers the punchline: a speech bubble originating from the mirror states 'I ONLY SEE YOU AS A FRIEND', which is a pun playing on the common 'friend zone' concept, with the title 'Mirror zoned' referencing this joke of being romantically rejected by a mirror.

This meme consists of top text placed above a reaction screenshot from the Pixar animated film *Turning Red*. The top text sets up the scenario: 'When you show bro a picture of your girlfriend and he says "as long as you're happy bro"'. The image below shows the character Jin Lee (Mei's father) with a wide-eyed, deeply unsettled, awkward and unimpressed facial expression as he looks at the person speaking to him. The joke relies on the common unspoken implication of the phrase 'as long as you're happy' in this context: the friend actually thinks the girlfriend is unattractive, and is offering fake polite support instead of giving his real negative opinion, which the person showing the photo immediately picks up on, leading to the disturbed reaction.

This meme consists of a top text block placed above a widely used reaction image. The top text reads 'If you think being gay is a choice then you're probably bisexual'. The image below features actor Walton Goggins with a shocked, wide-eyed, slightly open-mouthed expression, as if he has just had a sudden, unexpected epiphany. The joke makes a snarky rhetorical point: people who claim queerness is a conscious choice are implying they themselves could choose to be attracted to the same gender, meaning they are likely bisexual, as people exclusively attracted to one gender never consider attraction to other genders as a possible choice.

This meme consists of a top text caption above a classic comic panel illustration. The text reads 'Waking up after having that dream about a Female friend.' The illustration below shows Bruce Banner, the alter ego of Marvel's Hulk, sitting up in bed with wide, shocked eyes and a tense, distressed downturned expression, looking extremely disoriented and uncomfortable. The joke relies on the relatable feeling of intense awkwardness, embarrassment, and horror people experience when they wake up after having a romantic or inappropriate dream about a platonic female friend, knowing interacting with them later will be extremely uncomfortable.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.
