I know you’re supposed to support your kids no matter what, but this is a definite exception.

This is a 9-panel meme using characters from the animated series *The Simpsons*. The format alternates between a blue-skinned old fortune teller revealing predictions about Homer Simpson's son's future, and Homer reacting positively or negatively to each reveal: 1) The fortune teller says Homer's son will grow up healthy, Homer responds 'That's good'; 2) The fortune teller says the son will grow up to be a streamer, Homer responds 'That's bad'; 3) The fortune teller says the son will go to university, Homer responds 'That's good'; 4) The fortune teller reveals the son will go to 'streamer university', leaving Homer horrified as he responds 'That's really bad'. The joke plays on common parental stereotypes that view streaming as an undesirable, unstable career path, with the final twist of a dedicated university for streaming making the perceived bad outcome even worse.

This is a 5-panel edited meme from the animated sitcom *Family Guy*, centered on a petty, vindictive joke. The meme features Peter Griffin and an animated depiction of God: 1. Peter asks, "Hey, do atheists go to hell?" and God replies "No." 2. Peter then asks a redacted, blanked-out question, implying a target he dislikes. 3. God responds angrily: "Straight to hell. To the boiler room of hell. All the way down." 4. Peter smiles and says, "Good, good. That makes me happy." The humor comes from the flexible blank line, which lets viewers insert their own hated group, person, or thing as the target of God's extreme condemnation, leaning into Peter's established petty, selfish personality from the show. It's a relatable template for expressing lighthearted disdain for something or someone.

This is a two-panel meme using scenes from the *Lord of the Rings* film franchise. The top panel features the character Faramir standing next to a PS5 copy of the highly anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto 6, paired with the text "Father I went to the future and brought you GTA 6." The bottom panel shows Faramir's father Denethor, Steward of Gondor, looking unimpressed and dismissive, with the reply text "Boromir would have brought Half Life 3." The joke references two long-running gaming community memes: the many years of delays and anticipation surrounding GTA 6, and the infamously unreleased Half Life 3 which has been the subject of fan jokes for decades, while also leaning into the canonical dynamic from the films where Denethor openly favors his older son Boromir over Faramir no matter what Faramir achieves.

This is a satirical meme about the extremely high cost of medical care. On the left, a bored, nonchalant female doctor in a white coat sits in an office chair, presenting two options of news: the good news is that the patient will probably survive their health issue, while the other, effectively bad news, is that the patient will wish they never opened their medical bill. On the right, a haggard, heavily aged Wojak meme character asks what the bad news is, implying that the medical bill will be so cripplingly expensive that surviving the health problem feels like a negative outcome due to the resulting debt.

This is a 4-panel comparison meme calling out generational hypocrisy. The top text first states 'MILLENNIALS CALLING OUT 67 AS BRAINROT...', referencing the popular Gen Z viral audio trend '67' that millennial and older generations often dismiss as meaningless, low-effort 'brain rot'. The second top line reads 'MEANWHILE MILLENNIALS 13 YEARS AGO...', followed by four panels of Japanese comedian Pikotaro, creator of the 2016 viral hit 'PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)', performing the silly, iconic hand gestures from his viral music video. The joke points out that millennials embraced similarly frivolous, silly viral content 13 years prior, making their criticism of Gen Z's trends hypocritical.
