That guy who suggested burning seized weed got exactly what he wanted

This is a two-panel comedy meme. The top panel displays a real viral news photograph of Indonesian police officers and onlookers gathered around a large burning pile of 3.3 tons of seized cannabis, with visible smoke rising from the fire. Text above this panel states that the burning cannabis resulted in the entire nearby town becoming high from the psychoactive smoke. The bottom panel uses a popular reaction screenshot of Jim Halpert from the US sitcom *The Office*, who is shown smiling smugly while looking through prison bars. Overlaid text on this panel labels him as the person who suggested the police burn the seized weed. The humorous, ironic joke is that the person who proposed burning the weed did so intentionally to get the entire town high, and he is pleased with the successful unintended consequence of the police operation even though he now faces legal consequences.

THE GUY WHO SUGGESTED THAT WE BURN THE WEED

Overview

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of Reddit's r/Meme subreddit, with the original post title noting the person who suggested the disposal method got what he wanted. The top panel uses a real photograph from a 2015 Indonesian news event, where police burning 3.3 tons of seized cannabis accidentally caused widespread cannabis intoxication among residents of the nearby town. The bottom panel uses a widely shared meme template of Jim Halpert from The Office, commonly used to depict someone smug about successfully executing a mischievous plan despite negative consequences for themselves. The meme is a remix combining the real viral news event with the popular reaction image format.

This is a single-panel hand-drawn joke meme that twists the famous anti-drug slogan "Say No To Marijuana". At the top, the slogan "SAY NO TO MARIJUANA!" is written. The illustration shows an anthropomorphic bag of marijuana (with visible marijuana bud inside it) asking a standing man: "How about you leave some for tomorrow?", and the man firmly replies "NO!". The humorous twist is that the man is not saying no to marijuana itself, he is saying no to saving any for later, implying he intends to consume all of the marijuana right now, which subverts the original anti-drug message into a joke about inability to resist overconsumption.

A meme consisting of three lines of dialogue text above a photograph of an orange tabby cat. The text reads: 'Mom: Did you smoke weed in the room', 'Me: of course not', and 'My cat in the corner:'. Below the text is an image of a real orange cat with noticeably half-lidded, droopy eyes that convey a suspicious, knowing, and slightly judgmental expression. The cat's posture is relaxed but its gaze directly engages the viewer, creating a humorous contrast between the person's denial and the cat's apparent awareness of the truth.

This meme features a real-life photograph of two young women in an outdoor setting. One woman sits in a blue plastic tub, completely covered from her head to her torso in uncooked spaghetti noodles, while the second woman actively places more noodles on her body. The meme includes two text overlays: the top line reads "you don't need drugs to have fun", and the bottom line responds with sarcasm: "don't tell me drugs aren't involved in this". The humor comes from the absurdity of the situation—covering someone in raw spaghetti is an unusual, nonsensical activity that viewers associate with being under the influence of drugs, directly undermining the initial positive, drug-free statement. The tone is playful and sarcastic, leaning into the absurdity of the real-life moment.

This meme uses a still from police bodycam footage of golfer Tiger Woods after his DUI arrest to make a joke about underestimating the strength of cannabis edibles. The top text sets up the premise: a person dismisses edibles as not being strong at all, and the image shows the result 5 minutes later — Tiger Woods is completely incapacitated, handcuffed in the back of a police car, wrapped in a blanket, appearing totally intoxicated and out of it, with a sheriff deputy standing at the open car door.

The image consists of two parts: a top text dialogue and a bottom visual. The top text reads: 'Dentist: Do you smoke or drink coffee? Me: I drink it Dentist:'. The bottom visual is a screenshot of Kermit the Frog, a green puppet character from The Muppets, with a wide-eyed, slightly confused expression—his eyes are large and round, and his mouth is slightly open, giving a look of skepticism or puzzlement. The humor arises from the ambiguous response 'I drink it' (which could refer to either smoking or coffee, though context implies coffee), leaving the Dentist's follow-up unspoken, paired with Kermit's reaction that mirrors the confusion or bemusement at the vague answer.

This image is a screenshot of a sequence of social media posts from a user named Soa. First, Soa publishes a public status stating 'Im high asf', listed as posted 1 minute prior in Florence. After the post receives likes from Jazmine and 2 other users, Soa replies to his own original status with 'Me too', before immediately realizing he is the author of the original post, and follows up with the comment 'Lol oh shit that me'. The interaction humorously highlights how disoriented the user is from being intoxicated, to the point he does not recognize his own post. The user's last name is censored with colored blocks for privacy.

This is a 2-panel edited meme using a scene from the animated sitcom Family Guy. In the top panel, the character Lois Griffin has her face covered by a white square printed with the number 67, with her arms outstretched in a complaining pose, paired with the caption 'You guys always act like you're better than me'. In the bottom panel, three other Family Guy characters (Chris, Meg, and Peter Griffin) are dressed in fancy, high-status formal wear (tuxedos, evening gowns, top hats), with their faces covered by white squares showing the numbers 21, 420, and 69 respectively, sitting on couches looking authoritative and prestigious. The joke revolves around the fact that 21 (the legal drinking age in the US, widely referenced), 420 (universal slang for cannabis culture), and 69 (a well-known sexual innuendo) are all extremely commonly referenced numbers in internet and meme culture, while 67 is an unremarkable, rarely referenced number that feels left out and less important than the more popular numeric memes.

A meme featuring a young child with a dazed, confused expression standing outdoors on a grassy background. The top text reads, "Me coming back from my lunch break realizing the new strain ain't work weed," and the bottom text overlaid on the child is "fuuuuck". The humor lies in the child's disoriented demeanor humorously representing the feeling of disappointment or confusion when a new type of marijuana (referred to as a "strain") fails to produce the desired effect, creating a relatable joke for those familiar with cannabis culture.

This is an edited comedic meme featuring Andy Davis, the main child character from Disney Pixar's Toy Story franchise. Andy is depicted holding a Buzz Lightyear toy in his left hand, while holding a clear plastic bag filled with a green leafy substance visually resembling cannabis in his right hand. He stares at the bag with a surprised, intrigued expression. The humor comes from the absurd and inappropriate contrast between the innocent children's media character and the illegal recreational drug reference, creating dark ironic humor.

This is a comedic edited meme using a still frame of George Costanza from the popular 1990s American sitcom Seinfeld. The top text sets up a relatable scenario for 4/20, a widely recognized cultural day associated with cannabis consumption: a person with no experience using cannabis is handed a joint by a friend, and has no clue how to proceed. The visual punchline shows George awkwardly attempting to light an absurdly oversized joint with a standard lighter, with the joint already burning at both ends, exaggerating the incompetent, over-the-top reaction of someone who has no idea how to smoke cannabis for comedic effect.
