Crude Phonetic Pun Meme Mocking the Word 'Compass'

The image displays a vintage brass compass placed on top of a printed geographic map, with bold white text with black outlines overlaid at the top and bottom of the frame. The top text reads 'THEY DEADASS NAMED THIS THING' and the bottom text reads 'A CUM PISS'. The core joke is a lowbrow, lewd phonetic pun that intentionally mispronounces the English word 'compass' to sound like the vulgar phrase 'cum piss' for shock comedic effect. The slang term 'deadass' is used here to mean 'seriously' to lean into the absurd, sarcastic premise of the meme.

The top panel displays the text '*UNCUMS*', the middle panel '*RECUM*', and the bottom panel the escalated '*CUMMING INTENSIFIES*'.

A meme featuring a historical portrait of Sir Isaac Newton, a prominent physicist known for discovering gravity. The image has two lines of text: the top text reads 'MF HAD SEEN HIS PISS GO DOWN EVERY TIME' and the bottom text reads 'BUT NEEDED AN APPLE TO NOTICE GRAVITY'. The joke humorously contrasts the everyday observation of urine falling (due to gravity) with the popular story of Newton discovering gravity after an apple fell on his head, implying he should have noticed gravity sooner from mundane experiences.

This is a reaction meme using footage from a classic Attitude Era WWF (now WWE) wrestling segment. The top text reads 'Shitposters when Pissposters arrive', making an absurd comedic comparison: people who post low-effort, nonsensical content online (shitposters) are framed as being shocked and intimidated by an even more ridiculous, made-up group of low-quality content creators called 'pissposters'. The visual shows WWE chairman Vince McMahon standing outside a wrestling ring looking shocked, as the wrestler The Undertaker rises from a casket placed in the ring.

This is a two-panel crude humor meme. The top panel shows a satellite floating in outer space, with the main satellite body labeled "My Penis" and a stream of material discharging downward from it labeled "My piss", using the satellite as a metaphor for a person urinating. The bottom panel features the character Omni-Man from the animated series *Invincible*, flying forward with an angry, confrontational expression. Text overlaid on Omni-Man reads "Fly hovering around the toilet bowl", with large bold text at the bottom of the panel reading "YOU WOULDN'T DARE." The joke references the common annoying experience of flies lingering near toilet bowls while people are using the bathroom, personifying the fly as the aggressively confrontational Omni-Man daring the person to urinate while it is nearby.

This is a variant of the popular Actual Advice Mallard internet meme. It features a stock photograph of a male mallard duck floating calmly on rippling water, with bold white text with black outlines placed at the top and bottom of the image. The top text reads 'ALWAYS MASTURBATE' and the bottom text reads 'BEFORE A DATE'. The crude humorous advice refers to the idea that masturbating prior to a romantic date reduces sexual desperation and impulse, which the joke claims prevents you from overrating your date's attractiveness (as noted in the original 9GAG title stating 'Believe me, it turns a 10 into a 4!', referencing common 1-10 attractiveness rating scales) and making poor decisions driven by sexual arousal.

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel features a neutral, annoyed bald soyjak/wojak character with stubble and glasses positioned next to the text 'Cuckoldry'. The bottom panel shows the same character screaming in horror, mouth wide open, hands raised in distress next to the text 'Cuckoldry, Japan'. The joke references the poster's shock at learning the definition of NTR (netorare, a popular Japanese anime and manga trope centered on cuckolding/romantic infidelity), which led them to declare that 'anime was a mistake'.

This is a captioned reaction meme. The top text reads 'my ancestors watching me use a GPS to get somewhere I've been to 14 times'. Below the text is a blurry, cool-toned, glowing image of a white man with a blank, unimpressed, judgmental expression, representing the disappointed spirit of an ancestor observing the user's overreliance on modern navigation technology even for familiar locations. The joke is relatable to many modern people who use GPS even for routes they theoretically know, contrasting modern convenience with the navigation skills of prior generations who relied on memory and physical maps.

This is a two-panel reaction meme that uses screenshots from the Netflix series *The Umbrella Academy* to deliver a wordplay joke. The top panel features the character Vanya Hargreeves (portrayed by Elliot Page) with a shocked expression, looking out from a car window, paired with the text: "White people with the last name 'Black'". The bottom panel shows character Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) with a similarly shocked, bewildered expression, also in a car, with the text: "Black people with the last name 'White'". The humor comes from the ironic contrast between a person's racial identity and their surname, playing on the dual meaning of "Black" and "White" as both racial descriptors and common English last names. The exaggerated shocked expressions of the characters emphasize the absurdity of this contradictory naming scenario.

This meme creates a pun based on the German compound word 'Flachspüler', which is the official term for a low-flush (flat flush) toilet. The joke mis-segments the compound word into 'Flach spüler', which can be humorously misinterpreted as a 'face/flat rinser' device. The image shows a person wearing safety goggles leaning over a sink, with a powerful jet of water spraying directly onto their face, exaggerating this misunderstanding for comedic effect.
