This is a relatable internet meme consisting of two parts: top text that reads 'when you leave things for tomorrow and tomorrow arrives', paired with a paparazzi photograph of actor Ben Affleck. In the photo, Ben Affleck stands outside a dark doorway, with his eyes closed, a weary and defeated expression on his face. He holds a cigarette and a drink in one hand, while his other hand is tucked into his jeans pocket. The meme humorously captures the universal feeling of regret and exhaustion that comes from procrastinating—putting off tasks to the next day, then feeling overwhelmed when that day finally comes. The visual joke lies in the perfect alignment between Ben Affleck's drained, regretful demeanor and the emotional state of someone facing the consequences of their procrastination.

This is a relatable reaction meme featuring a still shot of the character Michael Scott from the US sitcom *The Office*. Michael is wearing a dark grey business suit, white dress shirt, and patterned blue tie, with a completely blank, deadpan, unamused, and indifferent facial expression as he stares forward. Text placed at the top of the image reads 'Me while commenting "lol"'. The joke highlights the common dissonance between the casual, lighthearted positive 'lol' (laugh out loud) comment people leave on social media posts and messages, and the actual bored, unimpressed, or completely unenthusiastic emotion they are feeling when typing the comment. A small 'made with mematic' watermark is visible in the bottom left corner of the image.
