This meme draws a humorous parallel between modern Zoom remote meetings and 19th century seances. It features a vintage illustration of a group of people sitting around a round table conducting a seance, paired with text that opens with the joke premise that Zoom meetings are modern seances. It then lists common phrases spoken during Zoom calls when an attendee has audio issues: asking if someone wants to join, calling for an absent attendee named William, saying they cannot hear him, and asking if he can hear them. The joke relies on the similarity between attempting to contact unresponsive spirits during a seance and attempting to reach unresponsive attendees with technical difficulties on remote calls.

The bottom section, labeled 'ME', features a photograph of an extremely relaxed orange cat splayed on its back in a small wicker chair, with a laptop resting on its stomach, completely disregarding all proper posture guidelines, acting as a relatable joke about how most people actually position themselves when working on computers.

The plush is lying limp on its back on a rumpled light pink bed sheet, with its limbs splayed loosely and a tired, blank expression, perfectly visualizing the feeling of demotivation, exhaustion, and dread that many people feel when getting ready to go to work, especially during the work week while anticipating the upcoming weekend.

This is a humorous relatable work meme showing a home office with two workers. A human man sits at a full-sized desk typing on a keyboard, while a fluffy white cat sits at a tiny custom-sized desk (with a small keyboard and tablet) in a tiny pink folding chair, acting as a coworker. Overlaid text creates a dialogue: an off-screen question asks 'Mr. Cat, are we going to meet the deadline?' and Mr. Cat replies 'Sure. We'll just move the deadline'. The joke plays on the common corporate/office practice of pushing back project deadlines instead of completing work on the originally scheduled date, which many remote/office workers find relatable.
