This meme illustrates a relatable family humor scenario. The top text sets up the context: relatives call on the phone asking to speak to the son, and the mom tells them the son is asleep. The bottom part features a still of Hugh Glass from the film *The Revenant* looking over his shoulder with a confused, deadpan expression, representing the son who is standing directly in front of his mom when she makes this claim, feeling baffled by her unnecessary lie.

The meme features a candid outdoor shot of a Black man wearing a backwards black baseball cap and black t-shirt, looking over his shoulder with an awkward, unamused expression while someone takes his photo. The background shows a grassy lawn, a paved road, and a mix of leafless and evergreen trees under a pale sky. Overlaid on the top of the image is edited meme text: 'I bring a sort of "I hate this photo of me" Vibe to the person taking my photo that the person taking my photo don't really like', with phrases repeated for comedic effect, relaying the common relatable experience of disliking candid photos of oneself and being difficult for the person taking the photo as a result.

This image is a screenshot of a private text conversation. The first sender initially sends a message reading 'just had a metal breakdown', then immediately follows up with a correction 'mental*' to indicate they meant to say they experienced a mental breakdown. The second recipient intentionally ignores the correction, plays off the 'metal' typo referencing heavy metal music, and replies 'hell yeah brother rock on' paired with a devil horns hand emoji, turning a serious statement about mental distress into a lighthearted joke about the energetic breakdown sections common in heavy metal tracks.

The meme opens with a text question: 'What are some stereotypes that drive you insane?', followed by a comment from an autistic person stating they hate the common stereotype that all autistic people are obsessed with trains, adding that they personally find trains loud and boring. The middle section features a real photograph of Darius McCollum, an autistic man known for his fascination with New York public transit, wearing a train conductor's uniform while sitting in what appears to be a formal courtroom or hearing setting. The bottom text explains McCollum's story: he repeatedly took unauthorized control of New York subway trains and buses, memorized all transit routes and procedures, and often operated the vehicles correctly enough that passengers did not notice anything amiss. The joke lies in the humorous irony that McCollum perfectly fits the stereotype the prior comment was pushing back against, creating a funny contrast between individual experience and widely known public examples of the stereotype.

This is a screenshot of a satirical mobile app store page for an educational app named *Jewish History*, published under the developer name HistoryofTheWorld. The app icon features a Star of David over a grayscale historical photo, is listed as 6.5MB in size, rated appropriate for ages 3+, notes that it contains ads and in-app purchases, and has a large green install button. The dark humor of the meme comes from the 1-star user review shown below the install button: the reviewer uses the display name "Adolf Hitler", has a portrait of the real historical figure Adolf Hitler as their profile picture, and left the 1-star review on 24/05/2022. The joke relies on the widely known historical context that Adolf Hitler orchestrated the Holocaust, the genocide of millions of Jewish people, so his implied extremely negative opinion of Jewish history communicated via the 1-star review is darkly ironic.

This is a photograph taken on a sunny public beach. A shirtless man wearing bright red swim trunks stands barefoot in the sand between two tall, evenly stacked piles of folded beach lounge chairs. He rests his outstretched arms on the top of each stack of chairs, creating a forced perspective optical illusion that makes the long, vertical chair stacks look like his own absurdly oversized, extremely long arms. The background features a clear blue sky, the ocean horizon, multiple open beach umbrellas, and other distant beachgoers. The accompanying context for the meme states that the man's father gave him a single approving nod after he performed this silly visual gag.

The meme features a top-down photograph of a single pigeon standing on a patch of snow adjacent to rough grey pavement. Extremely chaotic, meandering, overlapping sets of pigeon footprints are spread all across the snow surface, indicating the pigeon walked around randomly and repeatedly in the area. The caption above the photo draws a humorous relatable comparison between the pigeon's wandering pacing footprints and the common human behavior of pacing around restlessly while having stressful, emotional, or intense phone conversations.

This meme shows a completed personal information form with an attached ID headshot of a young man. The form lists his name as Jesús, age 22, with a joke answer on the 'Sex' line written as the Spanish phrase 'No experiencia' (meaning no experience). The main punchline is that the 'Phone' field, intended for a contact phone number, is instead filled with 'iPhone 13 Pro Max', the model of the man's phone, which is circled in red for emphasis. The humor comes from the relatable silly cheekiness of misinterpreting or intentionally giving absurd answers to form fields.

This is a meme using a scene from the animated show The Simpsons where Lisa Simpson gives a presentation. The text added to the projector screen behind her states that American hospitals are not healthcare institutions, but businesses. The meme conveys critical frustration with the profit-focused nature of the United States healthcare system, aligning with the original title's 'sad' sentiment about how healthcare prioritizes revenue over patient care.

It’s honestly sad.

The image is a screenshot showing a plate of cooked fusilli pasta mixed with vegetables and sausage slices at the top. Overlaid on the pasta image is a facial recognition verification prompt asking 'Same or different person?'. The prompt displays two circular profile images: the left is a photograph of a smiling East Asian woman, while the right is a close-up shot of a piece of pasta from the plate above, which the AI system incorrectly identified as a human face. Three answer options are present: 'Same' with a checkmark, 'Different' with a cross, and 'Not sure' with a question mark, plus 'Previous' and 'Done' navigation buttons at the bottom of the prompt. The humor comes from the absurd, obvious failure of the AI facial recognition tool to distinguish between a human face and an inanimate piece of food.

This meme pairs dark, absurd joke text with a popular reaction screenshot from an animated film. The first segment of text is written from the first-person perspective of a bank hostage, who states they plan to harm random people under the false assumption that their status as a hostage means they will face no punishment. The second line of text sets up the reaction as that of the bank robber, followed by an image of a wide-eyed, stunned, unimpressed animated male character staring directly at the hostage. The humor stems from the unhinged, unexpected behavior of the hostage, and the robber's shocked disbelief that the hostage would make such an absurd claim that no one would reasonably believe.

This is a 3-part comparative relatable meme. The first section is headed with the text 'Born to late to see:' and features stock renderings of a Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex in jungle environments, referring to extinct dinosaurs that modern humans never had the chance to observe alive. The second section has the header 'Born to early to see:' next to images of futuristic flying cars, referring to advanced technology that is not yet widely accessible to people living in the current era. The final section is headed 'Born just in time to see:' and shows a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet full of #REF! formula errors, plus a Windows popup notifying the user that 'Microsoft Excel has stopped working'. The joke uses self-deprecating humor to lament that the current generation misses out on exciting phenomena from the distant past and future, and only gets to experience the minor, annoying frustrations of modern office and tech life.
