This three-panel absurdist meme plays on the famously extremely long, narrow geographic shape of Chile, a country running along the western coast of South America. The first panel shows the actual current borders of Chile, labeled 'CHILE'. The second panel expands the country's long shape up the entire western coast of North America, labeled 'GREATER CHILE'. The third, punchline panel shows the completely exaggerated 'THE CHILEAN EMPIRE', which traces the entire full coastline of the Pacific Ocean, including the west coasts of North and South America, the east coasts of Asia and Oceania, and the coastlines of Australia and Pacific islands, stretching Chile's signature long narrow form to a ridiculous, global extreme. The joke leans into the common internet observation about Chile's unusual, elongated national shape.

A meme featuring characters from SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants is standing on the left, wearing a white hat and holding a Union Jack (UK) flag, with a smug, grinning expression. To the right, Squidward Tentacles stands in a blue doorway filled with golden objects, holding a US flag, looking uncomfortable with half-closed eyes and an open mouth. Around Squidward are labeled country names: 'Canada' (top), 'Greenland' (right), 'Panama' (bottom left), and 'Venezuela' (bottom right). At the bottom of the image is the text: 'You like imperialism don't you America'. The meme humorously suggests a parallel between UK and US imperialism, playing on the phrase 'the apple doesn't fall far' to imply the US inherited imperialist tendencies from the UK.

Prominent bold white text is overlaid: 'AMERICA' at the top and 'THE LAND OF GUN CARE AND HEALTH CONTROL.' at the bottom.

This is a two-panel historical humor meme. The left panel shows a crying, frustrated wojak character dressed as a British Revolutionary War era redcoat, with text above reading 'Just pay the tax bro'. The right panel shows a calm, stoic wojak character dressed as a 13 Colonies representative, with text above reading 'Just give us representation bro'. The meme jokes about the core colonial grievance of 'no taxation without representation' that sparked the American Revolution: Britain refused to grant the 13 colonies parliamentary representation while imposing unfair taxes, which ultimately led to Britain losing control of the colonies after the Revolutionary War.

This is a humorous single-panel meme using an edited outer space/solar system diagram. On the far left, the bright, glowing Sun is labelled 'Sun'. A tiny white dot positioned very close to the Sun is labelled 'UK and the rest of Europe', while the full planet Earth is placed much further away from the Sun, far from the heat of the star. The joke plays on the widespread experience of extreme, record-breaking heatwaves across the UK and European continent, implying that the region feels so abnormally hot that it is effectively located far closer to the Sun than the rest of the planet Earth.

This two-panel meme uses the cursed Garfield format to joke about the starkly differing portrayals of Britain in history textbooks. The top panel shows the canonical, smug Garfield standing with crossed arms, labeled 'Britain in British history books', referencing how British history books often present a sanitized, positive view of Britain's history that downplays its harmful colonial past and wrongdoings. The bottom panel features a horrifying, distorted eldritch version of Garfield lurking behind a door, with a shocked, frightened Jon Arbuckle holding a rifle standing nearby. This panel is labeled 'Britain in any other history book', referencing how non-British history books (especially from countries impacted by British colonialism) are far more critical of Britain's historical actions, portraying it as an expansionist, harmful power. The text at the bottom of the lower panel reads 'BULLETS DON'T WORK JON', leaning into the horror tone of the cursed Garfield format.
