Origin notes

This meme is created using the RageBuilder online rage comic generator, as indicated by the 'RAGEBUILDER.COM' watermark at the bottom of the image. It was shared on Reddit as a meme with the original title 'Le gas prices…', referencing widespread frustration over rising fuel costs, especially diesel prices, that make operating large diesel pickup trucks prohibitively expensive. It uses popular early 2010s rage comic character templates, and was circulated widely on social media platforms to joke about inflation and high cost of living related to fuel expenses.

This is a 4-panel rage comic meme. In the first panel, a male stick-figure rage character says 'Let's go buy a house', and a female rage character with a hair bow responds excitedly 'OMG, YES!'. The second panel shows the Zillow real estate platform logo with the label 'Checks', indicating the characters are browsing listings on Zillow. The third panel displays two photos of small, old, unremarkable, somewhat run-down suburban houses with large red text overlaid showing a price of $1,200,000. The fourth panel shows both characters with bulging red eyes, screaming in furious, shocked rage, represented by extended strings of the letters F and U. The joke satirizes the extreme inflation of housing prices in North America, where even low-quality, average houses are priced far beyond what most people can afford, leading to frustration for those trying to purchase a home.

The left panel shows an edited photo of a Shell gas station price sign, where the numerical price values for Regular Unleaded and Regular Diesel fuel are replaced with the text "JST WALK" (a shortened spelling of "just walk"), with overlaid text reading "New gas price just dropped" accompanied by a smirking emoji and peace sign emoji. The right panel features a deadpan, unamused rage comic-style character wearing a backwards cap printed with "RAGE", a hoodie, watch, and chain, holding up two fingers in a peace sign that matches the emoji in the left panel, emphasizing the sarcastic, relatable frustration of high fuel costs making driving not worth the expense.

This meme displays a classic annoyed/confused rage comic stick figure looking at a standard metal grocery store shopping cart. The on-image text reads "The most expensive vehicle to operate in 2026.". The joke relies on sarcastic commentary about rising cost of living and inflation, framing the shopping cart as a "vehicle" whose operating cost refers to the extremely high price of groceries people buy and put into the cart, implying grocery costs are higher than the cost of operating any actual motor vehicle in 2026.

This is a 6-panel classic rage comic. In the first panel, a woman asks her male partner to sing a lullaby for their swaddled baby, and he agrees. In the next three panels, he repeatedly sings the opening lyric 'Let the bodies hit the floor' from the aggressive 2001 heavy metal song 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool, which is completely unsuitable for a baby lullaby, as the woman's expression shifts from confused to alarmed. The fifth panel shows the woman screaming in unbridled rage, represented by the iconic red rage face. In the final panel, the partner looks horrified and the baby is crying hysterically due to the inappropriate, loud 'lullaby'.

Maybe it's not part of it" expressing confusion over whether the unclear object counts as a traffic light.

This is a classic 8-panel rage comic that uses intentional double entendre for comedic effect. The first 7 panels depict a conversation between a couple that strongly implies they are about to have sex: the woman says she cannot wait any longer, the man offers to "put it in", then struggles, claims he is almost "inside", refuses the woman's offers of help, and grows increasingly frustrated while the woman goes from eager to concerned to openly furious. The final panel subverts all the suggestive buildup by revealing the pair are actually standing outside their front door: the man was fumbling to insert a house key into the lock the entire time, and the woman is yelling because she urgently needs to urinate, resulting in the titular disappointment for anyone expecting a sexual punchline.

Below the text, a screenshot of SpongeBob SquarePants is shown with a light bulb balanced on his head, looking visibly shocked and confused, labeled 'The FED'—humorously portraying the FED as out of touch with real-world price hikes.
