Girls with Photoshop; Boys with Photoshop

Overview

A comparison meme divided into two sections. The top section features four images of girls arranged in two rows of two: the left images show original, unedited photos with neutral expressions, while the right images display edited versions with smoother skin, enhanced features, and makeup-like effects. To the right of these images is the text 'Girls with Photoshop'. The bottom section shows a single image of a boy riding a scooter; his head has been replaced with a motorcycle headlight, and a small, glowing yellow head with bright eyes is positioned on his chest. To the right of this image is the text 'Boys with Photoshop'. The meme humorously contrasts stereotypical uses of Photoshop: girls enhancing their appearance versus boys creating absurd, surreal edits.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit (specifically the r/Meme community) with the original title 'Lol ...just boy things'. It is a user-created collage likely assembled using Photoshop, combining existing photographs of individuals with edited versions. The top section uses before-and-after style images of girls to represent stereotypical 'enhancement' edits, while the bottom section uses a surreal edit of a boy with a replaced head to represent stereotypical 'absurd' edits by boys. This remixes real-life photos into a humorous comparison format typical of internet memes.

This is a wholesome meme consisting of a real-life street photograph with a story text at the top. The text tells that the man taking the selfie found 500 rupees, then encountered a boy crying outside his house who had lost 500 rupees, so he gave the boy 50 rupees from the money he had just found, ending with the moral that when God blesses you, you must bless others. In the photo, the man taking the selfie is in the foreground, and the sad boy is standing against a concrete wall on the side of the residential street looking down.

This is a two-panel sarcastic meme. The top text sets up the joke: first, a teacher says 'Study harder, you are the future of our country', followed by the line 'Me studying to leave my country:'. The first panel under the text shows K-pop idol Jennie Kim resting her chin on her hands with a smug, knowing expression, and the second panel shows her rubbing her temples with a focused, scheming look. The humor comes from the subversion of the teacher's expectation: instead of studying hard to contribute to their home country as the teacher encouraged, the meme creator is studying hard to meet the requirements to emigrate abroad, acting as the 'future of the country' in an unintended way, referencing the common Gen Z sentiment of considering leaving their home country for better opportunities.

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 is a three-panel edited meme using scenes from the 2004 sci-fi film *I, Robot*: 1. **Top Panel**: Will Smith's character (Detective Del Spooner) looks thoughtful, asking the question: "Can a robot get a girl?" 2. **Middle Panel**: The robot Sonny stares forward with a deadpan, neutral expression, replying with the sarcastic, roast-style question: "Can you?" 3. **Bottom Panel**: Will Smith's character looks embarrassed, covering his mouth with his hand, visibly stung by the robot's unexpected comeback. The humor comes from the double meaning: the robot redirects the question about romantic success back to the human, implying he struggles to find a romantic partner, creating a relatable, savage joke about dating insecurities.

Her:' Below is an image of a woman sitting on a train, wearing a light coat and black scarf, with a neutral, slightly unamused expression.

This is a relatable meme joking about a common frustration for YouTube users: being forced to watch advertisements that cannot be skipped. The top text reads 'YouTube showing me ads that I can't skip', paired with a shocking scene from the Lars von Trier film *The House That Jack Built*, where the main character forces an elderly woman's eyes open to make her look forward. The visual metaphor compares unskippable ads to being forced to watch unwanted content you can't look away from, perfectly capturing the helpless annoyance users feel when encountering unskippable ads.

A two-panel meme depicting a man and a woman in a bookstore. In the top panel, the man (labeled 'ME') says 'I DON'T USE INSTAGRAM' and the woman (labeled 'SHE') responds 'ME NEITHER'. The bottom panel shows the same pair: the man is focused on a smartphone displaying icons for various social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, etc.), while the woman looks at a screen showing a nature scene (grass, trees, sun). The meme humorously highlights the irony of both claiming to avoid Instagram, yet the man substitutes it with other social media, while the woman's 'alternative' implies going outside/nature.

This meme uses a clever forced perspective optical illusion. The image shows a real woman sitting in a restaurant booth, raising her right arm; when combined with the table and drink in front of her, it creates the misleading visual that her chest is unusually large. The accompanying social media text reads **"the last thing you see before leaking state secrets"**, which jokes about the absurd idea that someone might be distracted or coerced into revealing sensitive information by this fake visual. The humor comes from the relatable experience of falling for such a trick and the silly, over-the-top scenario.
