Lex Luthor Tricks Superman Into A Kryptonite Car Wash

This meme uses a two-part text setup followed by a reaction image to deliver a DC Universe themed joke. The top text features Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor inviting Superman to visit a car wash he claims is the best in town. The reaction image below, labeled as Superman's response, shows a viral photo of a wide-eyed, shocked cat sitting inside a car during a car wash, with the entire scene bathed in bright green light. The joke relies on the reference that kryptonite, the only substance that weakens Superman, is famously green: Luthor set the car wash as a trap, using kryptonite instead of regular car wash fluid to disable Superman, and the cat's stunned expression perfectly depicts Superman's horror upon realizing he has fallen for the trap.

It is a derivative work that adds custom DC-themed text to the pre-existing viral "car wash cat" reaction photo, and it was created using the Mematic meme editing tool, as indicated by the watermark at the bottom left of the image.

This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look. The humor comes from the common DC trope that Batman, being extremely wealthy, is always the one who ends up covering the costs of the Justice League's property damage, subverting Superman's statement by implying Batman will be the one footing the bill.

A meme featuring a humorous scenario where a dog misinterprets scolding. The top text reads: 'What my dog hears when I say "bad dog" for biting a pedestrian'. Below is an edited image of Batman (from the classic gray and black suit with a yellow bat symbol) but with a dog's head instead of Batman's, peeking cautiously from behind a building structure in a cityscape. The joke plays on the dog's perspective, framing the scolding as a heroic mission, akin to Batman's vigilantism.

A satirical meme depicting a hypothetical scenario where Netflix takes over Warner Bros, resulting in a humorous edit of DC Comics' Batman and Superman. The image shows Batman (in his iconic black suit) and Superman (in his red and blue suit with a red cape) standing face-to-face, holding hands. Superman appears to be blushing, adding to the comedic tone. The text at the top reads '*Netflix takes over Warner Bros* The next day :', and the bottom text features 'BATMAN v SUPRMAN TWINS OF JUSTICE' in rainbow-colored letters, with an intentional misspelling of 'SUPERMAN' as 'SUPRMAN'. The background includes a large red Batman vs Superman logo and a dark, cityscape silhouette, emphasizing the superhero theme.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. Bold all-caps text is placed at the top of the image, reading 'ME IN LINE AT THE CARWASH LOOKING AT ALL THE PEOPLE WAITING TO WASH THEIR ALREADY SPOTLESSLY CLEAN CARS'. Below the text is a photograph of a man sitting in the driver's seat of a red car, whose windshield is completely caked in dirt, dried dead bugs, and road grime, making the man barely visible through the glass. The comedic effect comes from the stark contrast: the narrator's car is extremely dirty and genuinely in need of a wash, so he is confused and judgmental of people who waste time and money bringing already perfectly clean cars to the car wash, seemingly just for fun or unnecessary upkeep.

A meme featuring a close-up image of Superman from DC Comics, wearing his iconic red and blue costume with a yellow 'S' shield on his chest. The background has a bright, glowing light effect, emphasizing his heroic demeanor. Above the character, bold white text reads: 'HOW THE DUDE WHO INVENTED GENERATIONS FEELS AFTER NAMING HIS THE GREATEST GENERATION'. The humor lies in the sarcastic implication that the person who coined the term 'The Greatest Generation' (referring to those who lived through World War II) might feel overly self-assured, comparing their confidence to Superman's iconic smug and heroic pose.

This 4-panel meme captures a silly real-life moment with an orange tabby cat at a veterinarian's office. The cat mistakes the wall-mounted automatic soap dispenser for its home automatic food feeder. In sequence: first, the cat holds its head under the dispenser waiting for food to come out; second, the sensor-activated dispenser dispenses foamy soap directly onto the cat's head; third, the cat reacts with surprise to the unexpected soap; finally, the cat is seen looking confused with a blob of soap accidentally shaped like the US state of Texas stuck on its forehead. The humor comes from the cat's innocent mistake and the funny coincidental shape of the resulting soap.

A meme structured in a 3x2 grid. The top row features two simple stick figures: the left one says 'I love cars' with a smile, and the right one responds 'me too!' with a smile. The middle row contains two images: the left is a photograph of a sleek, dark-colored sports car in an indoor venue, and the right is a photograph of a real cat standing still. The bottom row shows the same stick figures, with the left one now appearing confused (brow furrowed) and the right one maintaining a neutral expression, revealing the humorous misunderstanding—while the first figure refers to 'cars' (vehicles), the second figure likely meant 'cats' (the animal).

A meme featuring a fluffy black and white cat sitting on a car dashboard in an indoor parking garage. The cat has a round face, large expressive eyes, and a serious, slightly suspicious expression.

This meme uses humorous juxtaposition to make a joke about domestic cats. It opens with text stating that cats are evolutionarily descended from the most ferocious killing machines on the planet, referring to their wild predatory ancestors. The text is followed by a label "Also cats:" and a close-up photograph of an orange tabby cat with abnormally wide, large eyes, its pink tongue sticking out in a vacant, goofy, dopey expression. The joke comes from the stark contrast between the fearsome reputation of cats' evolutionary predecessors and the harmless, silly, unintelligent appearance of the domestic cat in the photo.

This is a two-part humor meme. The top text sets up the scenario: a zookeeper is carrying a sloth while moving at a regular human walking speed. The bottom section is a heavily motion-blurred close-up photo of a sloth's face, implying that the sloth perceives the normal walking speed as extremely fast and disorienting. The joke plays on the well-known fact that sloths move at an extremely slow natural pace, so even a gentle walking speed feels like a thrilling, high-velocity ride to them.
