This meme uses the iconic Omni-Man beating Mark scene from the animated series Invincible. The uninjured, yelling Omni-Man is labeled as a boomer who purchased a home for $20,000 in 1972 with little effort, telling younger people they can afford a house if they stop buying daily coffee. The heavily injured, pinned Mark is labeled as a modern young worker who works 50 hours per week, cannot afford groceries after paying for bills and gas, and has completely lost hope of ever achieving financial freedom. The meme mocks the disconnected, out-of-touch 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' advice from older generations, highlighting the stark difference between the accessible cost of living boomers experienced and the extreme economic hardship younger generations face due to stagnant wages and skyrocketing housing and basic necessity costs.

This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look. The humor comes from the common DC trope that Batman, being extremely wealthy, is always the one who ends up covering the costs of the Justice League's property damage, subverting Superman's statement by implying Batman will be the one footing the bill.
