This is a 3-panel relatable humor meme using characters from the animated show The Simpsons. The first panel shows bartender Moe Szyslak dragging regular patron Barney Gumble out of the tavern, with overlaid text reading 'ME WASHING THE PILE OF DISHES'. The second panel shows Moe standing alone, brushing off his hands as if he has completed the task successfully. The third panel shows Barney peeking back into the bar uninvited, with overlaid text reading 'MOM GETTING READY TO MAKE CHEESY GRITS WITH EGGS'.

This is a single-panel joke meme set in a courtroom scenario. The text lays out the joke: the judge declares the defendant (labeled "Me") not guilty, and the defendant responds with "Thanks I won't do it again", accidentally confirming he actually committed the crime he was just acquitted for. Under the "My lawyer:" label, an image of an uncanny, exaggerated low-poly 3D man with a horrified, stunned, wide-eyed expression is shown to represent the lawyer's disbelief at the defendant's foolish self-incriminating mistake. The humor comes from the defendant's accidental confession immediately after being found innocent.

The meme features a screenshot from a Batman film, showing Batman in his iconic black costume with a serious expression, standing near the Batmobile. Above him, a character (likely Catwoman from the original scene) is labeled "3yo Kids" and appears to be leaning down toward Batman with a mischievous or determined posture. Below Batman, the text reads "The corner of a coffee table." The humor lies in the analogy that 3-year-old children are irresistibly drawn to coffee table corners (often resulting in bumps), similar to how the character is visually drawn to Batman, playing on the "like a moth to a flame" trope.
