A meme featuring a top text caption and two side-by-side screenshots from Super Mario 64. The caption reads, 'Imagine getting to heaven and Jesus pulls up this footage of you playing Mario 64 in 1997'. The left screenshot shows Mario standing on a snowy platform with a blue penguin beside him, likely in the Cool, Cool Mountain level. The right screenshot shows Mario looking down at the penguin, which has fallen off the platform, humorously implying an embarrassing 'fail' moment from the player's past being exposed in heaven.

This humorous edited image features a large plastic Mario figurine from Nintendo's Super Mario franchise clinging to a vertical pole inside a retail store (likely Target, identifiable by red branding and game displays below). The comedic core is a visual gag: real hands hold stacks of US dollar bills (including a $10 bill) toward Mario, framing him as if he is a pole dancer receiving tips. This absurd joke repurposes a family-friendly character into an adult, suggestive scenario for comedic effect. The background shows video game boxes on shelves, with an "ONLINE" sign visible on a red display in the bottom right corner.

This is a humorous gaming pun meme. The top text has a question: "What do you play on?", followed by the poster's answer: "Me: Mario.". The image below is a photo taken inside a video game retail store, showing separate branded sections for consoles: Mario gets his own dedicated signage section alongside major console brands Xbox (green) and PlayStation (blue). The joke relies on wordplay: the question asks what gaming console/platform the person plays games on, but instead of answering Nintendo, they answer Mario, which is literally treated as its own platform/section just like Xbox and PlayStation in the store, leaning into the common association that Nintendo consoles are primarily known for Mario games.

This meme satirizes the common internet criticism that review outlet IGN applies overly harsh, adult-focused standards to children's and family-friendly movies. The top text shows an exaggerated fake IGN review complaining that a children's movie isn't deep enough, demands that it include heavy philosophical themes and mature dramatic scenes, and gives it a very low 2/10 rating. Below the text is official promotional art for the 2023 *Super Mario Bros. Movie*, a lighthearted family film that IGN gave a below-average score to in real life, which this meme references. The joke pokes fun at the absurdity of expecting deep mature themes from a kids' movie that exists primarily to be fun and accessible for all ages.

A meme featuring Knuckles the Echidna, a red echidna from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, leaning over Sonic the Hedgehog, a blue hedgehog, who is lying in a hospital bed. A heart monitor is visible in the background, suggesting Sonic is unwell or unconscious. Knuckles appears desperate, with the text 'SONIC PLEASE' at the top and 'HOW DO I BALANCE FeBr3+H2SO4→Fe2(SO4)3+HBr' at the bottom, humorously depicting Knuckles pleading with Sonic for help to balance a chemical equation.

This meme uses a screenshot of Super Smash Bros. gameplay to deliver a sarcastic joke about unfair play in online fighting games. The top text quotes players claiming they were not double teaming a single opponent, while the bottom text labels the visible gameplay that proves the claim is a lie: two opposing fighters are at 0% damage (meaning they have not been hit at all) while the Pikachu fighter they are both attacking is already at 14% damage, clearly showing they were ganging up on the single player. The scene takes place on a standard sky-themed Smash Bros. battle stage, with the match timer visible at the top of the gameplay frame.

This meme uses the popular "days without an incident" counter template from *The Simpsons*, where a character is shown resetting the counter twice to 0. The meme's text says it has been 0 days since people realized that Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian fictional setting was actually an optimistic vision of the future compared to current real-world events after 2020. The joke plays on how rising corporate power, unregulated tech overreach, and declining social conditions in real life have made the dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077 look tame and even optimistic by comparison, and this realization is so common that the counter is immediately reset to 0 every time.

A two-panel meme using screenshots from a Super Mario trailer, likely from The Game Awards. The top panel shows a dramatic scene with Mario holding a sword, facing a large bird-like creature, with text: 'My mom who said I will never be success' and 'Me working at NASA'. The bottom panel is a close-up of Mario looking determined with the sword, with text: 'As a janitor'. The joke hinges on the反差 between the grand claim of 'working at NASA' and the mundane reality of being a janitor, subverting expectations for comedic effect.

This is a two-panel edited meme using footage from the SpongeBob SquarePants animated series. In the first panel, Mr. Krabs wears the iconic green cap of Link from The Legend of Zelda video game franchise, holds a shovel and stands next to a gravestone marked #1 Royal Family, with overlaid text reading 'Am I really going to defile this grave for money?'. In the second panel, Mr. Krabs has already begun digging up the grave, throwing treasures onto the ground, with overlaid text reading 'Of course I am!'. The joke combines three core references: Mr. Krabs' canonical extreme obsession with earning money, the common Legend of Zelda player behavior of robbing graves for valuable items while justifying it as the hero, and modern public discourse surrounding the British Royal Family's accumulated wealth.

The image is a modified classical religious painting depicting Jesus walking on stormy water towards a boat carrying his disciples. The disciples, positioned in the boat, have a text bubble reading 'Excuse me Jesus, you're in the way'. Jesus, standing on the water, responds with 'Fuck you, I am the way', referencing the biblical quote from John 14:6 where Jesus states 'I am the way, the truth, and the life'. The humor arises from the pun on the phrase 'in the way' (blocking the path) versus Jesus' declaration 'I am the way'.

This collage meme highlights a common recurring video game design trope: the existence of a mushroom-themed level paired with quirky, upbeat, 'funky goofy' background music in many different game franchises. The image includes three separate game level screenshots: a dark blue pixel art mushroom forest level at top left, Mario Kart Wii's 'Mushroom Gorge' track at bottom left, and a pixel art mushroom level from the Sonic the Hedgehog series at right, where Sonic the Hedgehog is visible standing next to a large spotted mushroom. The text at the top of the meme explicitly states the trope, and the accompanying post questions if this shared design choice is an unspoken rule among game developers.

Is this some unspoken rule between game developers or something?

This is a two-panel meme. The top panel shows an edited version of the Windows 98 Mouse Properties settings menu, with a red-highlighted checkbox option labeled 'Disable mouse clicking'. The joke relies on the logical absurdity of this option: a user would need to click the checkbox to enable the setting, which would immediately disable all mouse click functionality, making it impossible to click the OK/Apply buttons to save the setting, or revert the change. The bottom panel is the widely used 'evil council laughing' scene from the Austin Powers film series, captioned 'Windows 98 developers:', implying the operating system's developers are hysterically laughing at this intentionally broken, prank-like user-facing feature.

This is a lighthearted, wholesome meme presented in a two-panel simple illustration format. The top header text reads "When god made me:". In the first panel, a neutral-faced God-like figure holds a small container with the caption "Just a little bit of Wii Sports bowling skill". In the second panel, the same figure has spilled a large amount of purple substance from the container, accompanied by the caption "Oops". The joke humorously frames the creator accidentally giving the viewer an excessive, unexpected talent in the casual Nintendo game Wii Sports Bowling, leaning into relatable, self-deprecating gaming humor.
