A 3x2 grid collage meme featuring six panels, each labeled with sequential season numbers (SEASON 1 to SEASON 11). Each panel displays a character with progressively aging appearance: SEASON 1 shows a young individual with short dark hair and neutral expression; SEASON 3 shows a slightly older person with similar hair; SEASON 5 features a character with longer hair and a concerned look; SEASON 7 depicts a person with long dark hair and a beard; SEASON 9 shows an individual with a beard and serious expression; SEASON 11 concludes with a character resembling Severus Snape from Harry Potter (long black hair, pale complexion, stern expression).

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit (as specified in the source information) and is a user-created collage. It likely combines screenshots from various original works: early seasons may use footage from Stranger Things (resembling Eleven), mid-seasons possibly feature actors like Adam Driver or Keanu Reeves, and the final panel uses a screenshot of Severus Snape from Harry Potter. The creation method involves editing software to compile the images into a grid with season labels added.

This is a two-panel satirical meme arguing that the Breaking Bad series finale is unmatched in quality compared to poorly received later/final seasons of other popular TV shows. The top panel shows a public swimming pool: a struggling half-submerged boy is labeled 'The Boys S5', a happy girl held above water by a woman is labeled 'Stranger Things S5', and the woman holding her is labeled 'Game of Thrones S8', ranking these three disappointing seasons from worst to least bad in the eyes of fans. The bottom panel shows a skeleton sitting on a chair fully submerged at the pool bottom, labeled 'Walking Dead S11', implying this final season was received far more negatively than all the others shown. The core joke is that all listed seasons are widely considered letdowns, and none of them come close to the universal acclaim of Breaking Bad's finale.

The meme features two Shiba Inu dog characters side by side to compare TV show episode counts between the past and present.

On the right, a smaller, non-muscular Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows now' with the text '5 episodes per season' below it, representing the reduced episode count of modern shows.

A 3x2 grid meme using screenshots of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape from the Harry Potter film series. The dialogue sequence humorously exploits Snape's unrequited love for Lily Potter: Dumbledore asks to tell a joke, Snape agrees, Dumbledore says 'Lily', Snape responds 'I didn't get it', and Dumbledore smirks 'Exactly'.

The left image is a screenshot of Ross Geller (from 'Friends') with a surprised expression, wearing a light-colored ribbed sweater. The right image is an edited version where Nicolas Cage's facial features have been superimposed onto Ross's face.
