This is a 6-panel digital webcomic. The first panel shows a nuclear explosion devastating the world outside, while a stick figure character smiles from inside a radiation bunker, stating he is happy the world has ended. The next three panels show the character confirming he has plenty of fuel for his generator, a fully stocked supply of snacks and drinks, and zero remaining responsibilities now that civilization has collapsed. In the fifth panel, the character sits on a bean bag chair wearing headphones, holding a game controller, excitedly announcing that his perfect gaming session can finally begin. The final panel is the punchline: the video game screen displays an error message saying authentication failed, asking him to check his internet connection, which is no longer available after the apocalypse. The joke satirizes the frustration of always-online DRM requirements for modern video games, which prevent playing even when all other ideal conditions for gaming are met.

This is a single-panel joke meme set in a courtroom scenario. The text lays out the joke: the judge declares the defendant (labeled "Me") not guilty, and the defendant responds with "Thanks I won't do it again", accidentally confirming he actually committed the crime he was just acquitted for. Under the "My lawyer:" label, an image of an uncanny, exaggerated low-poly 3D man with a horrified, stunned, wide-eyed expression is shown to represent the lawyer's disbelief at the defendant's foolish self-incriminating mistake. The humor comes from the defendant's accidental confession immediately after being found innocent.

This is a 4-panel comedic webcomic. In panel 1, a cheerful pink skipping character asks a neutrally expressioned standing yellow character 'WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?'. In panel 2, the pink character continues skipping past the yellow character, answering 'NO REASON', revealing they were referring to their own happiness rather than asking the yellow character's. In panel 3, the yellow character now has an annoyed expression, repeating 'FOR "NO REASON..."'. In the final panel, the background switches to purple, the yellow character is sobbing with tears, face crumpled in distress, and says 'how the fuck...'. The joke subverts expectations, relating to the common experience of unexplained, unprompted depression or sadness that has no identifiable 'reason', making the pink character's casual mention of happy 'no reason' hit the upset yellow character hard.

This is a 4-panel Cyanide and Happiness webcomic that uses a double meaning for a dark satirical joke about student debt. The first panel shows a clickbait online ad that reads "CLICK HERE TO WATCH COLLEGE TEENS GET FUCKED HARD", which audiences will initially assume is a pornographic advertisement. The second panel shows a man smiling and clicking the ad at his desk. The third panel reveals the literal, unexpected punchline: the content is an approval for a 7.08% interest student loan for a college student, meaning the teen is actually being screwed (fucked) over by high-interest debt, fulfilling the clickbait headline in a completely different way. The fourth panel shows the man still smiling at his monitor after clicking.

A 4-panel meme where each panel is split into left and right sections. The left sections feature a simple stick figure standing on the edge of a cliff with progressively shorter text bubbles: initially 'Don't judge a book by it's cover', then 'Don't judge a book', followed by 'Don't judge', and finally 'Don't'. The right sections show identical angry mobs of stick figures holding pitchforks and torches, each labeled with different groups: 'Book cover artists', 'Book critics', 'Judges', and 'Nike'. The humor stems from the absurdity of shortening the original phrase to the point where it elicits an angry reaction from an unrelated brand (Nike), playing on the contrast between the shrinking statement and the consistently hostile mob response.

This is a 4-panel satirical comic meme criticizing the accessibility issues of the United States healthcare system. In the first panel, a light blue character named Sven approaches an insurance desk and says he needs healthcare; the insurance worker laughs and mockingly asks "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?". In the second panel, the insurance worker announces Sven's request to a colleague, and both laugh hysterically at the idea of someone expecting to get healthcare. In the third panel, that same night, Sven wakes up screaming in bed, startling his partner who asks what is wrong. In the fourth panel, a distressed Sven replies "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM...". The joke is a dark twist on the concept of the American Dream: what is supposed to be the ideal of American prosperity and security becomes a nightmare, reflecting how inaccessible and unaffordable healthcare is for many ordinary people in the US.

This is a 5-panel webcomic meme that uses a truncated phrase progression to create ironic, relatable jokes targeted at specific groups. Each panel splits into two sections: the left shows a small stick figure character standing on a cliff edge, speaking a shortened version of the proverb 'Don't judge a book by its cover'; the right shows an angry, armed crowd labeled with a group whose core identity or role directly contradicts the speaker's statement: 1. Panel 1: Speaker says 'Don't judge a book by its cover' → Crowd labeled 'Book cover artists' (angry, as their work relies on audiences judging books by covers) 2. Panel 2: Speaker says 'Don't judge a book' → Crowd labeled 'Book critics' (angry, as their profession is judging books) 3. Panel3: Speaker says 'Don't judge' → Crowd labeled 'Judges' (angry, their official role is judging others) 4. Panel4: Speaker says 'Don't' → Crowd labeled 'Nike' (angry, referencing Nike's iconic 'Just Do It' slogan which opposes 'Don't') 5. Panel5: Speaker says 'Do' → Crowd labeled 'People with self doubts' (angry, as they struggle to take action even when encouraged to do so) The humor comes from the perfect, ironic alignment between the truncated phrase and the crowd's identity, creating relatable jokes for each group.

This is a 4-panel dark humor webcomic. In panel 1, a cheerful cartoon sun at an open window tells a grumpy pink round humanoid character to come outside, and the character refuses by saying "no". In panel 2, the sun offers to give the character vitamin D, and the character responds hesitantly with "eh". In panel 3, the sun adds that going outside also provides serotonin, so the character agrees to come out saying "ok fine". In panel 4, the character steps outside, and the sun laughs and insults them saying "haha enjoy skin cancer bitch", prompting the character to react angrily yelling "you fucker". The joke plays on the common public health advice that sun exposure provides beneficial vitamin D and mood-boosting serotonin, while also carrying the known risk of skin cancer with unprotected overexposure, for a dark, unexpected punchline.

A meme consisting of a repeated text caption above a sequence of frames from a movie. The text reads: 'Ryan Gosling going to jail for all the crimes I committed cause he's literally me'. The visual frames show Ryan Gosling in an orange prison uniform being escorted by two guards through a jail corridor. The sequence progresses to show Gosling being directed into a jail cell by one of the guards. The meme humorously plays on the 'literally me' internet trope, where the creator jokingly identifies with Gosling to the extent that he's taking the fall for their fictional crimes.
