This is a pun meme mourning the death of famous actor and long-time internet meme icon Chuck Norris, who is stated to have been born 1940 and died 2026 at the age of 86. The core joke is a word swap: the standard obituary phrase would be 'Chuck died at the age of 86', but the meme reverses this to read 'Number 86 died at the age of Chuck', swapping the number (his age at death) with his first name, creating a silly pun that references the man himself. The image uses a black-and-white portrait of Chuck Norris, with a black mourning ribbon added to honor his passing, and his birth and death years overlaid at the bottom.

The text next to the top panel reads "Morgan Freeman when I was born:", while the text next to the bottom identical panel reads "Morgan Freeman even now".

This is a meme that jokes about the 2022 Academy Awards incident where Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock after Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife. The meme uses the classic 'Chuck Norris fact' format: hyperbolic jokes that lean into the long-running internet trope that Chuck Norris is extremely tough and intimidating, and everyone fears upsetting him. The top text reads 'When Chuck Norris tells a joke about Will Smiths wife......Will Smith stands up and slaps his wife.' The image below is a photo of Chuck Norris holding a microphone on stage. The joke twists the original incident: instead of Will Smith slapping the comedian who told the joke, he slaps his own wife to avoid angering the fearsome Chuck Norris, which is the absurd punchline fitting the Chuck Norris fact meme style.
