This is a 3-panel satirical comic meme mocking Disney's modern film content strategy. In the first panel, a Disney executive at the head of a conference table says they need new movie ideas, with the Disney logo identifying the company. In the second panel, two attendees suggest sequels to popular existing Disney franchises: *Toy Story 5* and *Frozen 3*. A third attendee suggests making an original, non-sequel film.

This meme uses a screenshot from the animated series *Rick and Morty* featuring three characters: Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, and a deadpan green alien. The top text reads "paying for Disney+ Netflix Prime Video and HBO Max", while the alien's dialogue is repurposed to say "Well that just sounds like cable with extra steps". The joke satirizes the modern trend of subscribing to multiple individual streaming services, pointing out that this model ultimately replicates the cost and inconvenience of traditional cable TV—just with more separate subscriptions and platform-switching hassle. It leverages the popular "X with extra steps" meme format originating from the show.

A meme featuring a text overlay at the top that reads: 'Disney '......No no. We're not gonna remake this one''. Below the text is a screenshot from Disney's animated film 'Tarzan' (1999), showing Tarzan—an animated character with brown hair, minimal clothing, and a determined expression—climbing a tree branch in a lush jungle setting with green foliage and sunlight filtering through. The humor stems from the implication that Disney, known for remaking many of its animated classics into live-action films, is avoiding remaking 'Tarzan', possibly due to challenges like the character's minimal attire or the complexity of adapting the jungle environment.

This is a two-panel sarcastic meme using a clip from *The Eric Andre Show*. In the first panel, the character labeled 'Hollywood' (played by Eric Andre) shoots a man slumped in an armchair labeled 'a good movie franchise', with adjacent text explaining the action is 'Puts Jared Leto in it'. In the second panel, the 'Hollywood' character stands next to the dead body of the franchise looking confused, with text asking 'Why do ours movies keep failing'. The joke mocks Hollywood's habit of casting Jared Leto in well-loved movie franchises, a choice widely criticized by audiences for leading to poor commercial and critical performance, while Hollywood executives act oblivious to their own bad decisions causing franchise failures.

This meme uses a still frame from the Spanish heist drama series *Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)* showing a group of robbers wearing signature red jumpsuits. The faces of the three leading robbers are edited to be replaced with logos of major streaming services: the left robber has an HBO Max logo, the central robber has a Netflix logo, and the right robber has a Paramount+ logo. Text placed above the image reads: "Please pay us so we can ruin your favorite piece of media with our remakes." The joke satirizes streaming platforms for producing low-quality, often poorly received remakes of beloved existing media while charging users regular subscription fees, implying that these practices are so frustrating that they push consumers to pirate content instead of paying for streaming services.

This 6-panel meme uses a classic *The Simpsons* template to satirize NVIDIA's massive procurement of DDR5 RAM supplies, leaving regular consumers facing shortages. Here's a breakdown of each panel: 1. **Panel 1**: A character labeled "NVIDIA" (in a red cap) demands from "RAM PRODUCERS" (a woman): "GIMME ALL DDR5 DRAM YOU'LL EVER PRODUCE UNTIL 2028", with Homer Simpson (representing consumers) waiting in the background. 2. **Panel 2**: The RAM producer quotes the massive price: "THAT'LL BE $9,500,000,000". 3. **Panel 3**: NVIDIA smirks and says: "I ONLY GOT $10 ON ME CAN I PAY THE REST LATER". 4. **Panel 4**: The RAM producer surprisingly agrees: "SURE". 5. **Panel 5**: Homer, labeled "CONSUMERS", arrives at the counter to find a "SOLD OUT" sign. 6. **Panel 6**: Homer sits dejectedly on the ground, labeled "CONSUMERS", embodying the frustration of regular customers unable to access DDR5 RAM due to NVIDIA's bulk purchase. The meme jokes about real-world tech industry issues where large corporations can secure huge component supplies (even with deferred payment), leaving consumers facing limited stock and higher prices. The humor comes from the absurdity of the $9.5B deal being accepted with just $10 upfront, paired with the relatable disappointment of being locked out of needed hardware.
