This is a 3-panel vertical comparison meme that jokes about the common relatable experience of getting a bad haircut. The top panel is labeled 'Me before haircut' and shows an unkempt, long-haired Neanderthal character representing a rough, unstyled appearance pre-haircut. The middle panel is labeled 'Me somewhere in between the haircut' and shows the confident Gigachad meme character with a neat, stylish haircut, representing the short point during the haircut when the style looks great. The bottom panel is labeled 'Me after the haircut' and shows a distorted, dopey-looking early human character, implying the final haircut result is so bad it makes the person look far more primitive and worse than they did before the cut.

This is a single-panel image meme consisting of text above and below a photograph of a silverback gorilla. The top text reads 'Why did apes stop evolving?', followed by an image of a serious, stoic-looking silverback gorilla sitting in a lush, sunlit jungle environment with a small stream and waterfall visible in the background. The bottom text provides the punchline: 'Because they knew they would need to go to work if they kept evolving'. The humor stems from sarcastic anti-work sentiment, jokingly implying that apes intentionally halted their evolutionary path into humans to escape the stress and obligations of modern employment, framing the gorilla's simple natural life as a far better alternative to working a job.

This two-panel collage meme juxtaposes a famous image of Harambe, the late Cincinnati Zoo gorilla, with a photo of a Japanese macaque holding a red plush toy.

The bottom panel features the monkey clutching its plush companion, with the text 'But we will try better with him', framing the joke as a heartfelt, lighthearted promise to 'protect' this new animal subject as a way to make amends for the loss of Harambe.

This is a 2x2 grid pun meme. The top left panel displays the word "Skeleton", paired with the top right panel that shows a complete, full human anatomical skeleton standing upright. The bottom left panel displays the invented word "Skeleone", which is a pun playing on the word "skeleton": the suffix "-ton" in "skeleton" is a homophone for the English number "ten", so it is replaced with "-one" (the number 1) to make the new word. The bottom right panel corresponds to this pun, showing a single standalone femur bone to represent the "one" version of a skeleton.

This is a 2x2 panel collage meme that uses the popular Wojak (Feels Guy) template to depict contradictory emotions towards young beings. The top-left panel features a neutral-faced Wojak with the bold text "I HATE KIDS", paired with a top-right image of a young child happily hugging a brown teddy bear. The bottom-left panel shows a distraught, crying Wojak with the text "I WOULD DIE FOR YOU", paired with a bottom-right image of a sad baby monkey sitting on a flattened, damaged red stuffed toy. The humor comes from the relatable, contradictory feeling of being annoyed by children in general, but immediately feeling intense sympathy and protectiveness towards a vulnerable, sad young animal. The contrast between the broad statement about kids and the specific, heartbreaking image of the baby monkey creates a wholesome, funny, and relatable twist.

This meme uses a sarcastic visual pun for comedic effect. The top of the image displays the text "I have oily hair". Below, a person parts their dark, oily, dandruff-dusted hair with their hands, revealing tiny US military soldier figurines placed on the hair and a small US flag planted in the center of the scalp. The joke parodies the widely referenced critique that the United States launches military interventions in oil-rich nations under the pretense of "bringing freedom", framing the person's oily hair as an oil-rich territory that is being occupied by US forces, referencing the original meme title "you need some freedom".
