Linda Cardellini's Velma is the best

This is a sarcastic single-panel meme playing on the double meaning of the word 'plot'. The top text features a quote from a person claiming they watch live-action Scooby-Doo movies for the narrative plot, followed by text stating 'The plot:' above a close-up still of actress Linda Cardellini portraying the character Velma Dinkley. The joke implies that the real 'plot' people are interested in is the attractive portrayal of Velma, rather than the actual story of the films. Velma is shown wearing her signature short brown bob, black thick-rimmed glasses, and orange top, with a soft smile looking towards the viewer.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top of the image has bold black text reading 'How my friend looks at me when I take eyes off their favorite movie for 1 second'. Below the text is a low-quality, distorted image of a cartoon character with a furrowed brow, wide eyes, and a deep frown, staring intensely at the partial side profile of another person next to him. The humor comes from exaggerating the overly defensive, annoyed reaction that people who are very passionate about their favorite films have when their viewing partner is not paying full attention to the movie.

This is a 4-panel comic meme. The first panel shows a smug cartoon corporate presentation character introducing a new film franchise. The second panel displays the official poster for the *Underworld* film franchise, featuring the lead vampire character Selene, played by Kate Beckinsale, holding two guns and presented as visually attractive. The third panel shows a second cartoon character asking what the plot of the new franchise is. The fourth panel cuts back to the presentation character, who smirks and replies "Plot?" This relies on a double meaning pun: "plot" refers both to the narrative story of a film, and is also internet slang for an attractive person's physique, implying the franchise's main selling point is the attractive lead rather than a well-written story.

A four-panel meme depicting a man who complains about a movie being incomprehensible, yet the panels show him distracted by his smartphone throughout the film. The top text reads, 'This movie sucks! I don't understand anything about the story! also bro during the whole movie :' followed by four images of the man: 1) holding a smartphone, 2) actively using the smartphone, 3) continuing to use the smartphone, and 4) crossing his arms with a frustrated expression. The humor lies in the irony of the man criticizing the movie's story while being inattentive and distracted by his phone, failing to engage with the film.

This two-panel meme uses the iconic Mr. Bean exam cheating scene template to joke about Hollywood's habit of adapting original stories and concepts that first gain viral popularity on Reddit. The first panel shows a man labeled 'STORIES ON REDDIT:' focused on writing his work, while the character labeled 'HOLLYWOOD:' (Mr. Bean) sneakily glances at the Reddit creator's work to copy it. The second panel shows the Reddit creator looking up, while Mr. Bean looks away innocently as if he was not just copying. The meme references the massive success of The Backrooms, an internet horror concept that gained widespread traction on Reddit before being picked up for Hollywood adaptations, highlighting that Hollywood often sources original content from user-generated platforms instead of creating new original concepts themselves.

This is a three-panel collage meme. The top panel features actress Bryce Dallas Howard playing Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man 3 film, saluting with a soft smile, overlaid with the text 'When I saw her in the spider man movie'. The bottom section has two reaction images of Steve Harvey: the left shows a younger Steve Harvey laughing openly and enthusiastically, labeled '*Me as a kid', and the right shows an older, bald Steve Harvey looking flustered, dazed, and holding his hand near his mouth, labeled '*Me now'. The joke conveys that the creator found the character attractive as a child, and finds her even more appealing as an adult to the point of being flustered.

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 meme uses an unedited still frame from the 2004 film Spider-Man 2, showing Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker smiling awkwardly while talking to Mary Jane Watson on a New York City street. The top text sets up a cringey, crude relatable scenario: a person has found their female cousin in adult content, and is trying to avoid embarrassing her at a family reunion. The punchline is Peter's line edited to read 'So you're acting now?', a sarcastic comment that pretends the cousin's adult content work is legitimate acting, highlighting the awkward, unspoken knowledge between the two characters for comedic effect.
