This is a 3-panel meme using stills of the Pablo Escobar character from the Netflix series *Narcos* showing him waiting idly in different locations, paired with a top caption reading "WE'RE REALLY GETTING GTA VI BEFORE ANY OF THEM GOES TO JAIL". The joke satirizes the extremely long, heavily delayed development cycle of the *Grand Theft Auto VI* video game, emphasizing that fans have waited so long for the game's release that it feels plausible the game will launch even before notoriously difficult-to-apprehend criminals (or the depicted characters who avoided incarceration for long periods) are sent to jail.

A two-panel meme showing the same person at different ages wearing headphones.

This is a gaming meme referencing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 release. The top text poses the common fan question: 'Why won't Rockstar release GTA 6 on PC day one?'. Below this, a line of text reads 'GTA 6 on PC day one:' followed by the official promotional art for GTA 6 showing the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, pointing guns directly towards the viewer. The joke implies that a day one PC release of GTA 6 would be so poorly optimized, ridden with bugs, or otherwise broken that it would feel like the game is attacking its players, which is the reason Rockstar traditionally delays PC ports of their major titles to fix issues first.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from the 1995 Pixar film *Toy Story*. The top panel shows a single smiling Buzz Lightyear toy in its packaging, with overlaid text reading 'GONNA BUY GTA 6 AND RUN GAMING CHANNEL ON YT', representing a person who thinks their idea to start a YouTube gaming channel centered around the newly released Grand Theft Auto 6 is unique and original. The bottom panel reveals hundreds of identical Buzz Lightyear toys lined up on rows of store shelves, with three ellipsis dots at the bottom, conveying the defeated realization that thousands of other people have the exact same plan, so the initial idea is not special at all.

This meme uses a viral red carpet event photograph of Paul Dano and Quentin Tarantino as its base. Paul Dano appears in the foreground with a faint, distracted smile while looking down, overlaid with the text label 'everyone waiting for gta 6'. Quentin Tarantino stands directly behind Dano, staring forward with an intense, menacing unblinking expression, overlaid with the text label 'some hentai virus'. The joke illustrates that people eagerly anticipating the release of the highly popular Grand Theft Auto 6 video game are so distracted by their excitement that they are vulnerable to malware attacks disguised as GTA 6 leaks, early access downloads, or exclusive content, particularly pornographic (hentai) themed malware that commonly targets users searching for unannounced game content.

The third panel shows SpongeBob casually tossing the poll paper into a small campfire. The fourth panel shows SpongeBob brushing off his hands dismissively as the paper burns, emphasizing the joke that people who cannot afford a gaming console have no stake in debates over GTA 6's high pricing, as they cannot play the game regardless of its cost.

This is a 4-panel meme using the classic "clown applying makeup" format to mock overly optimistic, naive takes about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI game before official details are released. The first three panels show a person progressively applying more clown makeup, paired with unreasonable takes: first claiming GTA VI does not need a physical disk release, next saying 500GB of SSD storage is more than enough space for the game, then stating an $80 price tag is a reasonable value in the current economy. The final panel shows the person fully costumed as a complete clown, paired with the punchline reveal of unconfirmed rumors stating the game will be 1.1TB in size, and a 2TB PS5 SSD upgrade costs $900, framing the earlier takes as making the speaker look like a ridiculous clown.

This is a gaming reaction meme using a widely circulated photo of a bald man in a navy suit staring with unimpressed, judgmental body language at an out-of-focus man in the foreground. The text overlaid at the top reads 'How GTA 6 NPCs look at you when you don't have the Ultimate Edition', satirizing the controversial Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order structure that locks exclusive in-game content behind the higher-priced Ultimate Edition tier. The joke implies that even non-playable characters in the game would look down on players who opt for the standard edition of the game, and ties into related jokes that fans feared strip club access would be one of the locked Ultimate Edition features.
