Relatable joke about primarily using phones to browse memes instead of receiving voice calls

Overview

This meme uses a still from the TV series Yellowjackets with added text to deliver a relatable humorous joke. The top text reads 'when you only use your phone for memes', and the bottom text overlaid on the image reads 'Who the fuck is this?'. The base image shows a young woman with a confused, annoyed expression holding a vintage landline phone receiver to her ear next to a wall-mounted rotary phone. The gag references the modern trend of people primarily using smartphones to browse content like memes rather than make or receive voice calls, leading to confusion and frustration when they get an unexpected incoming call from an unknown number.

Origin notes

This meme was originally posted on Reddit's r/memes subreddit under the original title 'Don't call me'. The base visual is a screencap from the Showtime drama series Yellowjackets, featuring the character Young Natalie Scatorccio portrayed by actress Sophie Thatcher. Text overlays were added to the existing show still to create the meme, which later circulated across other social media platforms including Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram.

This meme captures a relatable, frustrating moment in fast-food dining. The top text establishes the scenario: *You're standing in line at Mcdonalds and the phone rings*. The lower portion features a real person with an angry, scowling expression making an exasperated hand gesture, paired with the caption: *WHO THE FUCK IS CALLING MCDONALDS?* It jokes about the common annoyance of waiting in a slow restaurant line, only for service to be delayed further when staff pause to answer a phone call, amplifying the customer's frustration to an over-the-top, humorous level.

A two-panel comparison meme depicting contrasting reactions to low phone battery (5%). The top panel shows a man in a light blue shirt holding a phone to his ear with a serious, focused expression, accompanied by the text 'Guys when there phone is at 5%'. The bottom panel features a woman in a dark shirt lying on a carpet, looking exhausted and distressed while clutching her phone, with the text 'Girls when there phone is at 5%'. Note the consistent typo 'there' instead of 'their' in both captions. The meme uses gender stereotypes for comedic effect, exaggerating perceived differences in how people react to low battery situations.

This is a relatable meme consisting of three lines of text followed by a reaction image. The first line quotes another person saying "Stop making those faces". The second line is the first-person response "Me: 'what faces?'", pretending to be unaware of making any odd expressions. The third line reads "Also me:" and precedes an image of the Oompa Loompa character from the 2023 *Wonka* film, who is wearing oversized black sunglasses and a black hat, making a very awkward, strained grimace with gritted teeth. The joke highlights the common relatable experience of people unconsciously making weird facial expressions, and immediately denying doing so even when they are actively making the face in question.

This meme features a top caption describing the relatable scenario of encountering a former schoolmate on a bus while having left one's phone at home. Below the text is a photograph of a crowded bus interior, where a blonde person wearing sunglasses holds a small blue object (possibly a notepad or non-phone item) with a neutral to slightly awkward expression. Other passengers are visible in the background, holding onto yellow handrails. The humor stems from the common social crutch of using phones to avoid awkward interactions, and the discomfort when that tool is unavailable.

The meme features a two-part layout: the top section contains bold black text reading 'ME OPENING MY MOTHER'S PHONE', and the bottom section is an animated screenshot of a pink character with bulging red eyes, wavy antennae, and an agape mouth screaming. The character has a horrified expression, and the subtitle 'My eyes!' is displayed in yellow text at the bottom of the image.

A meme consisting of two lines of text above a photograph of a Chihuahua. The top text reads 'delete my contact and forget about me,' mimicking a dramatic message from an unknown contact. Below this, the text 'me trying to figure out who it is:' introduces the image of a small tan Chihuahua with large, upright ears, a wrinkled neck, and a confused, squinting expression. The dog is positioned in front of a smartphone (resembling an iPhone with multiple rear cameras), appearing to intently look at the screen. The humor stems from the relatable scenario of receiving a significant message from someone whose identity one cannot recall, with the dog's puzzled demeanor perfectly capturing the confusion of the recipient.

A meme featuring a top text that reads 'Me watching re-runs of the Simpsons to find out what we have to deal with next' above an image of a real man with an intense, focused expression. The man is holding a smartphone in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other, gazing intently at the phone, suggesting he is earnestly watching The Simpsons reruns to predict upcoming real-world events.

This meme uses a widely recognized reaction image of a skeptical, confused young Black woman holding her hand up as if pushing back or questioning a claim. The top text cites the high-profile 2024/2025 criminal case "People v. Mangione", which refers to the prosecution of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The bottom text asks "WHO IS THIS 'PEOPLE'?", making a sarcastic joke about the standard US legal naming convention for criminal cases where the prosecution is framed as representing "the People" (the general public). The joke references the widespread online sympathy and support expressed for Mangione, implying the public does not support the prosecution, so the identity of the "People" bringing the case is unclear.

The image features a smiling young man wearing a maroon t-shirt and light blue jeans carrying an extremely oversized, heavy black duffel bag on his back, standing on a paved path next to a grassy park area with other people and event tents in the background. Text overlays label the man as 'My phone' and the giant heavy bag as 'Hundreds of screenshots i don't use', creating a relatable humorous analogy for how unused, forgotten screenshots take up large amounts of unnecessary storage space and effectively weigh down a user's phone.

A meme featuring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson standing in an indoor public space (likely an airport or hotel lobby). He is holding a large, worn brown leather bag with visible effort. Two text overlays are present: one near his torso reading 'My phone' and another on the bag reading 'Screenshots I'll never use'. The humor exaggerates the common experience of accumulating unused screenshots on a phone by depicting them as a heavy, burdensome bag that even a muscular person struggles to carry.

This is a relatable humor meme featuring top text that reads 'My therapist calling his therapist the second I leave his office.' Below the text is a photo of actor John Krasinski wearing a dark suit and white collared shirt, holding a smartphone and looking down at it with a distressed, overwhelmed, exhausted frown. The joke leans into the relatable, self-deprecating idea that the poster's personal problems are so chaotic, severe, or emotionally heavy that their professional therapist is left traumatized enough to need their own therapy appointment right after their session ends.
