This is a 5-panel edited meme from the animated sitcom *Family Guy*, centered on a petty, vindictive joke. The meme features Peter Griffin and an animated depiction of God: 1. Peter asks, "Hey, do atheists go to hell?" and God replies "No." 2. Peter then asks a redacted, blanked-out question, implying a target he dislikes. 3. God responds angrily: "Straight to hell. To the boiler room of hell. All the way down." 4. Peter smiles and says, "Good, good. That makes me happy." The humor comes from the flexible blank line, which lets viewers insert their own hated group, person, or thing as the target of God's extreme condemnation, leaning into Peter's established petty, selfish personality from the show.

This is a 3-panel meme made from edited scenes from the animated show Family Guy. In the top left panel, character Joe Swanson asks the question: why do months have varying lengths of 28, 29, 30, and 31 days, instead of just having only 30 and 31 day months? In the top right panel, Joe is immediately killed by a glowing disintegration laser, while surrounding bystanders look on in shock. The bottom panel shows two military commanders watching security screens displaying the disintegration, with text that reads "He was asking too many questions." The meme jokes about how the strange uneven number of days in months comes from obscure historical Roman calendar changes, and jokes that anyone questioning this inconsistent system gets "taken out" as a silly conspiracy-style joke.
