This two-panel meme uses a scene from the TV show *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia* featuring the character Dennis Reynolds. The top panel includes text stating: "The Burger King and Wendy's CEOs took bigger bites out of their burgers than the McDonald's CEO", paired with Dennis saying "I don't care!" while reclined in a chair with a dismissive expression. The bottom panel shows Dennis leaning forward, repeating with exasperation: "Shit I don't care either."

This meme uses the popular 'They're the same picture' format originating from The Office (US). It presents two text cards: the first reads 'SERFS WORKING LANDS THEY DON'T OWN', the second reads 'CONSUMERS PAYING SUBSCRIPTION OVER PRODUCTS THEY DON'T OWN'. The prompt text says 'Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture', and Pam from The Office replies 'They're the same picture.' The joke draws a parallel between feudal serfdom where serfs worked land they never owned, and modern subscription-based business models where consumers endlessly pay to access products and content they never actually own, arguing the two systems have the same core dynamic.

This meme uses the popular 'It ain't much, but it's honest work' farmer image macro to joke about misleading job listings on LinkedIn. The top text reads: 'Me after reporting as "potential fraud" all the companies on LinkedIn calling their jobs "remote" but stating you have to live within 20 miles of their office:', followed by the iconic bottom text 'It ain't much, but it's honest work'. The humor comes from calling out companies that falsely advertise positions as fully remote when they actually require employees to live in close proximity to a physical office, making the roles hybrid, not remote. The poster frames their act of reporting these misleading listings as a small but morally correct action.

Above the image is a text overlay mocking a 'budget' cooking tutorial scenario: teaching others to make burgers and fries 'half the price of fast food' by spending $80 on ingredients and 2 hours preparing, resulting in being forced to eat the same meal for 2 weeks.

The bottom panel shows Jim sitting next to the same whiteboard, which now displays the text: 'Imagine that Manhattan project wasn't led by scientists, but Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and they didn't really understand when the bomb detonates'.

This 3-panel comic meme satirizes modern trends in the global automobile industry. In the first panel, a frustrated auto executive opens a boardroom meeting asking how to sell more cars amid an industry collapse. In the second panel, three attendees offer solutions: the first suggests building sentient self-driving cars, the second suggests adding complicated all-controlling computer systems, and the third attendee casually suggests returning to basics: making simple, reliable, affordable cars with just core features like AC and heating, with cheap-to-produce simple designs. In the third panel, the executive becomes enraged by the common-sense suggestion, and the person who proposed simple cars is thrown out of a high-rise office window. The joke highlights widespread consumer frustration that modern automakers prioritize expensive unnecessary complex tech that drives up prices over making the affordable, reliable basic cars many buyers actually want, with the original title 'Car go, car stop' emphasizing that cars only need to fulfill their basic function of moving and stopping.
