This is a 2-panel edited meme using a scene from the Star Trek franchise as its base template. The first panel features a character with the flag of the United States edited over their face, asking the question 'Are you two friends?'. The second panel shows two characters standing side-by-side: one has the national flag of Mexico covering their face and replies 'No.', while the other has the logo of the fast food chain Taco Bell covering their face and replies 'Yes.'. The core joke plays on the common public perception that Taco Bell, an American fast food brand selling Tex-Mex cuisine, is not representative of authentic Mexican food, leading Mexico to reject an association with the brand even as Taco Bell claims a connection to Mexican food culture.

A 4-panel comic meme featuring two characters. Panel 1: A brown-haired person wearing a tinfoil hat (stereotypical of conspiracy theorists) stands on a sidewalk, gesturing animatedly, and exclaims, "Question everything!!" to a blonde woman in an orange dress holding a small handbag. Panel 2: The blonde woman smirks and responds, "Even your conspiracy theory?" Panel 3: Both characters look surprised, with wide eyes and open mouths. Panel 4: The tinfoil hat-wearing character appears angry, with clenched fists and a scowling expression, while the blonde woman looks on. The humor lies in the irony of applying the conspiracy theorist's own mantra of questioning everything to their own beliefs, creating a paradoxical and amusing reaction.
