Bottom-left: A man with short hair, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, saying 'I came in 2 minutes!' in a speech bubble. Bottom-right: A group of people with bare trees (suggesting winter) in the background, looking embarrassed or shocked, some covering their mouths.

A two-panel comic meme depicting a satirical take on Reddit users. In the top panel, a man in a suit stands at a podium featuring the Reddit logo (blue with white alien head), raising his right hand and asking "Who hates Reddit?" via a speech bubble. The crowd in front, consisting of diverse animated characters with varied hair colors and clothing, unanimously raises their hands. The bottom panel repeats the same setting, but the man asks "Who wants to leave?"; the crowd now has no hands raised, with some looking downward or away. The humor lies in the contradiction between openly hating the platform and refusing to leave, mocking the common internet phenomenon of complaining about a service while remaining loyal to it.

This is a 4-panel illustrated comic meme that jokes about a perceived gender double standard in social event planning. The top left panel shows a dark-haired woman asking if they should invite another woman they are not close to, and the top right panel shows a blonde woman responding that they should not, as they barely know her. The bottom left panel shows a man in a black cap asking who an unknown bearded man is, and the bottom right panel shows another bearded man casually responding that he has no idea who the stranger is, he just brought him along because he was outside the event. The joke highlights the stereotype that women are far more cautious about including unfamiliar people in group plans, while men are extremely casual about bringing random unvetted strangers to group events without prior discussion.

This is a circular collage meme that illustrates the repetitive emotional cycle of despair and renewed hope, using edited viral monkey/animal image templates. The cycle begins with a 'it's so over' phase (a dark monkey lying atop a distressed orange creature, conveying defeat), transitions to a 'we're so back' phase (a real grey macaque dragging the orange creature, implying recovery from low spirits), shifts to another 'it's so over' phase (an aggressive macaque attacking a downed creature, representing another low point), and loops back to a 'we're so back' phase (the dark monkey lying on a now-content orange creature, showing renewed optimism). Each phase uses popular internet slang to label the mood swing, creating a relatable depiction of cyclic emotional shifts.
