A four-panel meme featuring the character Gru from the animated film Despicable Me, humorously depicting the emotional reactions to encountering a different variant of a difficult first-semester academic subject. Each panel shares the same caption: 'When you see a different variant of the subject that whooped your ass in the 1st semester:'.

Origin notes

This meme is a user-created remix utilizing screenshots from the animated movie 'Despicable Me,' edited with consistent text captions across four panels. It was sourced from Reddit's meme community, as indicated by the additional information. Watermarks 'mematic & Tenor' suggest the use of Mematic for editing and Tenor for sharing/gif creation. The content repurposes original film footage to comment on academic struggles, making it a derivative work rather than an original creation.

This meme features a short three-part dialogue followed by a popular reaction image. The first line is a science teacher asking a student if they know Newton's second law, a core physics principle. The student replies that they are a science student, not a law student, misinterpreting the word 'law' in the scientific term to mean legal law studied by law school students. The final line labels the following reaction image as the science teacher's response: a distorted, widely used meme edit of Lord Farquaad from the Shrek franchise, staring with an unimpressed, baffled, annoyed expression at the student. The humor comes entirely from the pun on the double meaning of the word 'law' and the relatable experience of students giving silly or wrong answers in class.

This meme features a text exchange setup above a reaction image. The first line is a teacher saying 'study hard so that you'll become rich.', a common piece of advice given to students. The second line is the student's sarcastic reply: 'so where is your Lamborghini?', calling out the hypocrisy of the advice since most teachers do not earn enough to own an expensive luxury car like a Lamborghini. The following line labeled 'Teacher' leads to a reaction image of Perry Babcock, the father character from the stop-motion animated film ParaNorman, who has a wide-eyed, affronted, speechless expression, conveying that the teacher has been caught off guard and has no response to the student's valid retort. The humor comes from the relatable experience of students receiving generic, unproven career advice from authority figures.

This is a single-panel joke meme set in a courtroom scenario. The text lays out the joke: the judge declares the defendant (labeled "Me") not guilty, and the defendant responds with "Thanks I won't do it again", accidentally confirming he actually committed the crime he was just acquitted for. Under the "My lawyer:" label, an image of an uncanny, exaggerated low-poly 3D man with a horrified, stunned, wide-eyed expression is shown to represent the lawyer's disbelief at the defendant's foolish self-incriminating mistake. The humor comes from the defendant's accidental confession immediately after being found innocent.

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.

This meme consists of four lines of text setup paired with a reaction image punchline. The text describes a classroom scenario: a teacher asks the class for an example of something useless, the first-person narrator raises their hand, and the teacher replies 'Very good. Anyone else?' which functions as an unplanned insult implying the narrator is the useless example they volunteered. The punchline is a close-up shot of a wide-eyed, shocked and hurt animated male character from Disney's Encanto, representing the narrator's stunned reaction to the unexpected burn.
