This image is a portrait of actor Chuck Norris in his iconic role as Cordell Walker from the TV series *Walker, Texas Ranger*, wearing a black cowboy hat, dark blazer, and black shirt with a sheriff's star badge. Added text at the bottom reads "CHUCK NORRIS" in white, followed by "1940-2026" in red, creating a fake death announcement. This is a joke playing on the decades-long popular "Chuck Norris facts" meme trope that portrays Chuck Norris as immortal and superhuman; the original post on 9GAG used a long string of the letter F as the title, which is an internet slang reference to "press F to pay respects" for this fake death hoax.

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.

This is a joke meme following the popular Chuck Norris meme trope that frames Chuck Norris as impossibly powerful and tough. The image features a still of Chuck Norris from his TV show *Walker, Texas Ranger*, holding an assault rifle with a stern, serious expression. Text at the top of the image reads "THE GRIM REAPER DIED", and text at the bottom reads "CHUCK NORRIS IS TAKING OVER".

This is a meme continuing the long-running 'Chuck Norris facts' internet trope, created in response to death rumors about actor and martial artist Chuck Norris. It uses a still image of Chuck Norris wearing a cowboy hat from his TV show *Walker, Texas Ranger*, with large top text reading 'CHUCK NORRIS DID NOT DIE' and bottom text joking 'HE JUST FINISHED CONQUERING THIS WORLD AND HAS MOVED ONTO THE NEXT ONE'. The joke plays on the classic exaggerated trope that Chuck Norris is superhuman, invincible, and far tougher than an ordinary person, framing rumors of his passing as him simply finishing his time on this world and moving on to conquer a new one instead of actually dying.

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.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text reading 'When Chuck Norris tells a joke about Will Smiths wife......Will Smith stands up and slaps his wife.' and a lower photograph of Chuck Norris, a real-life actor, holding a black microphone in his right hand, standing against a dark background, appearing to speak. The joke satirically references the 2022 Oscars incident where Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

The image features a two-part composition: the top section displays a text joke stating, 'When Chuck Norris tells a joke about Will Smiths wife......Will Smith stands up and slaps his wife.' Below this text is a photograph of Chuck Norris, a well-known actor and meme subject, holding a microphone as if performing or speaking on stage. The joke humorously references the 2022 Oscars incident where Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock after a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, but subverts it by implying Smith would slap his wife instead of the joke-teller, playing on Chuck Norris's reputation for absurdly impactful humor.
