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.

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 wholesome satirical meme featuring a red carpet photo of actor Keanu Reeves paired with a fake news headline. The headline reads "Multiple actresses accuse Keanu Reeves of extremely appropriate behavior", which intentionally subverts the common, negative news format of public figures being accused of inappropriate conduct. The joke is rooted in Keanu Reeves' widely documented, beloved public reputation for being exceptionally polite, respectful, and kind to coworkers, fans, and especially women he works with in the film industry. The photo shows Reeves with a neutral, slightly confused expression in front of a blue event backdrop, adding to the dry humor of the unexpected positive "accusation".

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the Soyjak, a popular Wojak variant character. The top panel depicts a neutral, unimpressed Soyjak with glasses and stubble positioned next to text that reads "JOKE", representing the general public's underwhelmed reaction to a mediocre, unfunny joke delivered by an average person. The bottom panel shows the same Soyjak character reacting with extreme, exaggerated excitement: its mouth is wide open in a scream of laughter, and both hands are raised in excitement, next to text that reads "JOKE WHEN A CELEBRITY SAYS IT". The meme satirizes the widespread double standard where audiences overhype and treat bland, poorly delivered jokes as hilarious purely because they are told by a famous public figure, regardless of the actual quality of the joke.

This is a three-panel collage meme. The top panel features actress Bryce Dallas Howard playing Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man 3 film, saluting with a soft smile, overlaid with the text 'When I saw her in the spider man movie'. The bottom section has two reaction images of Steve Harvey: the left shows a younger Steve Harvey laughing openly and enthusiastically, labeled '*Me as a kid', and the right shows an older, bald Steve Harvey looking flustered, dazed, and holding his hand near his mouth, labeled '*Me now'. The joke conveys that the creator found the character attractive as a child, and finds her even more appealing as an adult to the point of being flustered.

This is a wholesome pun meme featuring two famous real-life public figures: Oprah Winfrey and Deepak Chopra. The image is split into two vertical halves: the left side shows a smiling portrait of Oprah Winfrey, while the right side shows a smiling portrait of Deepak Chopra. Above the photos, white text on a black background delivers the joke: > If Oprah Winfrey married Deepak Chopra, she'd be... > Oprah Chopra! The humor comes from the silly, natural-sounding combined name, playing on the tradition of taking a spouse's last name in marriage, and the alliteration of 'Oprah Chopra'.
