Help I'm being a-SALTed

This is a simple hand-drawn absurdist pun meme. It depicts an anthropomorphic green snail lying prone on a small patch of grass, completely surrounded by large dark blobs that represent salt crystals. Instead of a natural snail shell, the snail has a small brown house on its back. The meme uses a homophone pun: 'assaulted' sounds identical to 'a-SALT-ed', and since salt is lethal to snails, the snail is literally 'being a-salted', which is the joke.

This multi-panel web comic parodies the classic fantasy 'bridge guard riddle' trope. A knight is stopped by an old bridge guard who demands he solve three riddles to cross. The knight, initially dismissive and ready to attack, correctly answers each riddle: 'road' for the first, 'wind' for the second, and 'anchor' for the third. As the knight attempts to leave, the old guard panics, realizing his riddles are too easy and many travelers pass. An orc bridge guard then appears, scolding the old man and stating they need harder questions. The bonus panel escalates the absurdity, with a guard demanding the knight prove the Yang-Mills quantum theory to cross, leaving the knight confused and defeated. The humor stems from subverting the classic trope, the knight's annoyed attitude, and the ridiculous escalation of difficulty in the bonus panel.

This is a two-panel reaction meme centered around a homophone pun. The top text shows a hypothetical exchange: Donald Trump asks Apple's voice assistant Siri to tell him how many miles he ran that day. Siri misinterprets the phrase 'I ran' as the country name 'Iran', and responds that it is sending missiles to Iran. The first panel shows a calm, focused Donald Trump using his phone, while the second panel shows him looking shocked and distressed at the unintended dangerous order. The joke references tense US-Iran relations during the Trump presidency, when military conflict between the two nations was a widely discussed public concern.
