This is a two-panel SpongeBob SquarePants reaction meme. The top panel depicts a large, intimidating, muscular green mutated monster with sharp teeth and red eyes labeled '*Hantavirus in 2026*', looming over a small SpongeBob who faces away from the monster. The bottom panel cuts to a close-up of SpongeBob, labeled 'People*', who has half-lidded eyes and a bored, completely unimpressed expression, showing no fear of the supposedly threatening virus. The core joke is that after living through multiple public health crises including the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent virus scares, the general public is no longer frightened by news of new potential virus outbreaks, to the point that even a future hantavirus would be met with total indifference, effectively being 'bullied' by the lack of public reaction.

This is a relatable ironic meme made of text dialogue paired with a popular reaction image. The dialogue sets up a simple scenario: a doctor asks their patient why they missed their scheduled appointment the day before, and the patient replies that they were sick. The doctor's reaction is represented by a heavily distorted, wide-eyed, frowning edited version of Lord Farquaad from the Shrek franchise, which conveys dumbfounded, unimpressed, awkward amusement at the irony of the excuse: people normally visit a doctor when they are sick, making the excuse logically sound while being humorously contradictory to the purpose of the appointment.

When the doctor first answers '5', the patient assumes it refers to years or months, but the doctor immediately follows up with '4', revealing they are counting down seconds until the patient's death. The bottom image shows a Black man in a suit with wide eyes, pursed lips, and an extremely shocked, panicked expression, representing the patient's horrified reaction to realizing they only have seconds left to live.
