Overview

The image displays a simple two-bar bar chart on a white background. A very short green bar is labeled 'HOW POPULAR IT IS', while an extremely tall red bar is labeled 'HOW GOOD IT IS', visually representing a massive disparity where something is of very high quality but has very little mainstream popularity. The meme is paired with a question asking users to name a TV show or movie that fits this described trend.

Origin notes

This meme originates from a 9Gag RSS feed post, with the original post title asking viewers to identify what TV show or movie matches the pictured metric of being far higher quality than its popularity level suggests. It uses a widely circulated bar chart comparison meme template that is commonly used online to highlight underrated or underappreciated items across different categories.

This is a comparison meme set on a plain white background, showing two hardcover books of vastly different thickness. The thin left book is labeled 'The amount of screentime they had', while the extremely thick right book is labeled 'Their Popularity'. The visual gag highlights the common fandom phenomenon where characters who appear for very little time in films, TV shows, games or other media end up gaining a disproportionately massive amount of fan love, attention and popularity compared to characters with far more screen time.

This is a two-panel Drake approval/rejection format meme, a popular internet template sourced from Drake's *Hotline Bling* music video. In the top panel, Drake makes a rejecting gesture paired with the text "50k likes on YT", showing disapproval of getting 50,000 likes on YouTube. In the bottom panel, Drake smiles and makes an approving gesture paired with the text "50k upvotes on Reddit", indicating preference for 50,000 upvotes on Reddit. The joke reflects the common internet creator perspective that Reddit upvotes are seen as more valuable or genuine engagement than the same number of YouTube likes.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular Pedro Pascal template. In the first panel, Pedro Pascal holds his hand out in a stopping gesture, with overlaid text reading "MILK IS GOOD", stating that milk is a fine product. In the second panel, he smirks and gives a thumbs up, with text reading "BUT IT COULD BE BUTTER!", forming a silly dad joke pun playing on the fact that butter is a dairy product made from milk, implying butter is the superior option to plain milk.

A three-panel reaction meme featuring a man with increasingly shocked expressions.

This meme uses a standard IQ normal distribution (bell curve) graph that marks the percentage of the population across IQ scores ranging from 10 to 145. Three wojak-style cartoon characters are placed at different points of the curve paired with text: a simple, smooth-brained wojak on the left (low IQ range) has the text 'everyone is stupid'; a crying, glasses-wearing wojak with a shaved hair patch at the center peak (average IQ range) has the text 'everyone is stupid except me'; a stoic hooded doomer wojak on the right (high IQ range) has the text 'everyone is stupid'. The joke satirizes how people at both the very low and very high ends of the intelligence spectrum arrive at the same conclusion that most people are unintelligent, while average people hold the smug, arrogant belief that they alone are smarter than everyone else.

A two-panel meme. The top panel shows a control panel with two red buttons labeled 'Downvote' (left) and 'Upvote' (right). The bottom panel features an animated character with a distressed, sweaty expression, having their forehead wiped with a cloth. A caption overlay reads: 'REDDITOR AS SOON AS THEY SEE A DOWNVOTED COMMENT BUT IT IS FACT'. The meme satirizes the tendency of Redditors to react emotionally when encountering downvoted comments that contain factual information, implying a reflexive defense of truth against downvotes.

This is a two-panel hand-drawn stick figure meme satirizing Reddit culture. The first panel shows four stick figures in silly hats standing next to a sign marked "r/unpopular opinions". One figure states "here is my unpopular opinion" while all figures have neutral blank expressions. The second panel shows the other three figures attacking the person who shared the opinion with baseball bats, leaving them injured and lying prone on the ground. The joke highlights the common hypocrisy of the r/unpopularopinions subreddit, where opinions that are genuinely unpopular and run counter to the community's consensus are met with hostility and backlash, rather than being accepted as the subreddit's stated premise promises.

This is a two-panel side-by-side comparison meme featuring the same cartoon bald, bearded man with glasses. The left panel is labeled "People a few years ago", where the character points at text on his shirt reading "Japan is literally paradise". The right panel is labeled "People now", where the same character has the same pose and expression, but the text on his shirt reads "Japan is literally hell". The meme satirizes the dramatic shift in popular public perception of Japan among internet users over recent years, from idealized positive views to critical negative views as more downsides of living/visiting Japan become widely discussed online.

This multi-panel meme demonstrates the common misconception that Australia is much smaller than it actually is, compared to the contiguous United States. The top panel shows a political map of the contiguous US with a small inset map of Australia placed over the western US, captioned 'HOW BIG PEOPLE THINK AUSTRALIA IS'. The bottom section shows Australia's actual size: the bottom left overlays Australia (to real scale) over the entire contiguous US, showing Australia covers almost the entire area of the US mainland. The bottom right panel zooms in to reveal that all 48 contiguous US states fit entirely within Australia's borders, proving Australia is nearly the same size as the contiguous US, much larger than most people expect. The meme's title adds a joke referencing the popular stereotype that Australia is full of dangerous spiders.

A two-panel comic meme depicting a satirical take on Reddit users. In the top panel, a man in a suit stands at a podium featuring the Reddit logo (blue with white alien head), raising his right hand and asking "Who hates Reddit?" via a speech bubble. The crowd in front, consisting of diverse animated characters with varied hair colors and clothing, unanimously raises their hands. The bottom panel repeats the same setting, but the man asks "Who wants to leave?"; the crowd now has no hands raised, with some looking downward or away. The humor lies in the contradiction between openly hating the platform and refusing to leave, mocking the common internet phenomenon of complaining about a service while remaining loyal to it.

This is a 4-panel relatable meme. Panel 1 features a crudely drawn, smiling stick figure with large round glasses standing next to an illustrated human brain, with the text 'hey brain hows it goin?' above, showing the person checking in on their own mental state. Panel 2 shows the brain completely covered by a dense, messy tangle of chaotic black scribbles, visually representing that the brain is overwhelmed, burnt out, disorganized, and not functioning properly. Panel 3 shows the same smiling stick figure waiting silently with no text. Panel 4 shows the stick figure still smiling, with the short text 'yea' above, implying that the completely disorganized brain gave a casual, unconcerned confirmation that everything is fine, despite the obvious chaos. The joke resonates with audiences who experience high stress, burnout, or mental disarray but habitually respond that they are okay when asked how they are doing.

A 2x2 comic panel meme. Top-left: A blonde woman in a pink sweater with wide eyes and an open mouth, arms outstretched, saying 'I came in 2 minutes!' in a speech bubble. Top-right: A group of people celebrating with autumn leaves in the background, hugging, clapping, and appearing joyful. Bottom-left: A man with short hair, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, saying 'I came in 2 minutes!' in a speech bubble. Bottom-right: A group of people with bare trees (suggesting winter) in the background, looking embarrassed or shocked, some covering their mouths. The meme contrasts reactions to the same phrase, likely playing on the double meaning of 'came' (arrival vs. sexual connotation), with the woman's announcement met with celebration and the man's met with discomfort.
