The meme features a split layout with text at the top reading 'how to turn on a light?' followed by two labeled sections: 'people who know' (left) and 'people who don't know' (right). Below 'people who know' is an animated character with a cheerful, confident expression—light-colored hair, wide eyes, and a friendly smile, set against a plain light background. Below 'people who don't know' is a shadowy, monochromatic version of the same character, with a confused, eerie expression and dark shadows obscuring parts of their face, creating a stark contrast between confidence and confusion in performing a simple task.

A four-panel meme featuring Gru from the animated film 'Despicable Me.' In the first panel, Gru holds a sign reading 'Feel empty inside' with a confident expression. The second panel shows him holding 'Doomscroll reddit for 2 hours' while looking thoughtful. The third and fourth panels both display 'Feel even emptier,' with Gru appearing increasingly resigned. The humor lies in the 'flawless strategy' being a self-defeating cycle where doomscrolling worsens emptiness, highlighting a relatable social media behavior.

A 4-panel comic meme depicting a humorous interaction between a person and a genie. Panel 1: The genie (purple, with a yellow belt) asks, 'Now, what's your third and final wish?' while the person holds a golden lamp. Panel 2: The person smiles and responds, 'I wish that you forgot who I was.' Panel 3: The genie states, 'Your wish is granted.' Panel 4: The genie, now oblivious, greets the person as a stranger: 'Greetings kind stranger, I shall grant you three wishes,' creating an infinite loop where the person effectively gains 'permanent incognito mode' with the genie, resetting the wish count indefinitely.

Each panel shows Gru holding up a sign with sarcastic text, progressing through a narrative: 'WE INVENT A GAME,' 'WE REALLY LIKE IT,' 'NO ONE ELSE GIVES A SHIT' (repeated twice), and concluding with 'WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS.'

This is a two-panel meme using the popular soyjak vs Nordic Chad template. The left panel features an angry, crying soyjak character with glasses, red bloodshot eyes, and tears streaming down his face, yelling the text above him: 'You can't finish the game with 97 unused potions!'. The right panel features a calm, stoic blonde bearded Chad character responding with the text above him: 'I might need them later'. The joke references the extremely relatable common gamer behavior of hoarding healing consumables like potions throughout an entire playthrough, refusing to use them even when needed, out of irrational fear that they will be required for a harder final boss later, often ending the game with dozens of unused items.

This is a 4-panel meme utilizing the popular 'Gru's Plan' template featuring the character Gru from the Despicable Me franchise. The first panel shows Gru gesturing excitedly upward next to a sign stating 'You find a creepy picture on reddit'. The second panel has Gru tapping his forehead proudly, with a sign reading 'You repost it to r/creepy'. The third panel shows Gru looking sneaky and pleased next to a sign that says 'Gets downvoted because it is creepy'. The fourth panel shows Gru looking confused and disappointed, with the same text as the third panel on the adjacent sign. The joke relies on the irony of the r/creepy subreddit, which is dedicated to sharing creepy content, downvoting posts specifically for being too creepy, contradicting the subreddit's stated purpose.

It is pretty creepy though...

This is a two-panel adult humor meme referencing a common sexual health misconception. The first panel shows an excited generic grey cartoon character reaching eagerly toward a yellow speech bubble that reads 'Wearing a second condom for extra protection', representing the widespread false belief that doubling up on condoms increases safety during intercourse. The second panel shows the same character, now sweating nervously while still reaching for the same speech bubble, but he is being held back from behind by a large pink cartoon figure labeled 'Friction'. The joke illustrates that wearing two condoms actually creates excess friction between the two latex layers, making them far more likely to tear, which completely defeats the intended purpose of extra protection.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top of the image features white all-caps text with black outline depicting a conversation between a person and a genie: 1. The person says 'I WISH FOR INFINITE WISHES', 2. The genie replies 'THAT'S NOT ALLOWED', 3. The person says 'OKAY THEN, GRANT MY NEXT WISH', 4. The genie responds 'WEIRD BUT OKAY, GRANTED', 5. The person immediately asks 'NOW GRANT ME INFINITE WISHES', 6. The text ends with 'GENIE:' followed by a reaction photo of a bald man wearing a red and blue plaid shirt under a dark puffer vest, standing with his hands on his hips, with an annoyed, defeated, unimpressed expression on his face, representing the genie's reaction to being outsmarted by the person's loophole around the no-infinite-wishes rule.

This is a relatable humor meme that jokes about the law of conservation of energy. The top text, written in alternating uppercase and lowercase letters, quotes the physics law: "eNeRgY cAN NeiTHeR bE cReAteD nOr dEsTroYed" followed by a frustrated rhetorical question: "where's mine then mf?". Below the text is a visibly distorted, exhausted-looking SpongeBob SquarePants character standing in the Krusty Krab restaurant setting from the original animated series. The joke pokes fun at the common feeling of being drained of personal energy or motivation, sarcastically questioning why the energy conservation law does not seem to apply to one's own lack of energy.
