The meme is divided into two sections. The top section features bold text reading 'Betelgeuse exists: Astronomers:' accompanied by an image of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse, depicted as a bright orange sphere. The lower section is a screenshot from the animated film 'Despicable Me' (2010), showing the character Gru (wearing a gray suit and blue tie) standing in front of a crowd of onlookers, with yellow text at the bottom reading 'let it die! let it die!' The humor stems from the playful exaggeration that astronomers are eagerly anticipating Betelgeuse's potential supernova, hence their supposed desire for the star to 'die,' referencing Gru's lyrics from the film.

A multi-panel meme using characters from the animated movie 'Inside Out' to reference public figures. The top panel shows a character labeled 'Epstein' making a shushing gesture with his finger to his mouth. The middle panel shows two characters labeled 'Hawking' and 'Elon' standing against a red wooden wall. The bottom panel shows the same 'Hawking' character now using crutches next to the 'Elon' character. The meme appears to reference conspiracy theories about Epstein, Stephen Hawking's disability, and Elon Musk's public persona.

A two-panel meme comparing the perception of the moon versus its appearance in a photograph. The left panel, labeled 'How I see the moon', displays a large, bright full moon with visible craters, surrounded by stars and wispy clouds against a dark night sky, representing the vivid, large appearance of the moon to the human eye. The right panel, labeled 'When I take a picture', shows a small, dim white dot against a dark background, humorously depicting the common experience of the moon appearing much smaller and less impressive in photos compared to how it looks visually.

This meme uses the popular 'Spongebob Squarepants getting progressively more muscular' template to humorously emphasize that four different time-related phrases all refer to the exact same duration: 1000 years. Each panel pairs a version of Spongebob with increasing physical intensity with a term for 1000 years: 1. Top panel: A cheerful, regular Spongebob with the text '1000 years' 2. Second panel: A stern, slightly tense Spongebob with '100 decades' (100 decades = 100 * 10 = 1000 years) 3. Third panel: A highly muscular, flexing Spongebob with '10 century's' (a grammatically incorrect phrase, intended to mean 10 centuries = 10 * 100 = 1000 years) 4. Bottom panel: An extremely buff, rock-like Spongebob with 'A MILLENIUM' (a typo of 'millennium', the formal term for 1000 years). The joke lies in the visual escalation matching the perceived 'weight' of the terminology, even though all phrases describe the same length of time, while also poking fun at minor grammar/typo errors in the phrasing.

This is a humorous meme using the popular 'person ignoring chaotic background fight' template. The foreground shows a NASA astronaut, labeled the Artemis II crew, sitting calmly at a table looking at his phone while a full brawl breaks out behind him. The fighting groups are labeled: NASA supporters are fighting against moon landing deniers and flat earthers, who all argue over the upcoming moon mission while the actual mission crew simply ignores the chaos. The joke pokes fun at how conspiracy theorists and space fans fight online while the actual mission team just carries on with their work.

This is a 4-panel grid meme, where each panel shows a boast from a deceased person beyond the grave. Top-left: a skeleton embedded in dirt with crossed arms, text reads 'I WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL'. Top-right: a full intact embedded skeleton, text reads 'I WAS FAMOUS'. Bottom-left: a gravestone in a foggy graveyard, text reads 'I WAS A MILLIONAIRE'. Bottom-right: another gravestone in a foggy cemetery, text reads 'I HAD A LAMBO' (slang for a Lamborghini luxury car). The implied punchline is that all earthly beauty, fame, wealth and luxury do not matter after death, making a humorous, reflective point about the vanity of prioritizing worldly status in life.

This is a 2x2 grid expectation vs reality comparison meme contrasting the outcomes of two famous viral internet events. The top section is labeled 'Area 51 raid': the 'Expectation' panel shows a dramatic, cinematic sci-fi style scene of a massive large crowd of people storming the secured Area 51 military facility with epic lighting. The 'Reality' panel for the Area 51 raid shows a sparse, empty desert landscape, with only one man standing looking at the camera, and a single other person running in the far background, reflecting the extremely low turnout of the actual event despite huge online interest. The bottom section is labeled 'Josh fight': the 'Expectation' panel shows a small, silly schoolyard scuffle between a handful of young children, suggesting the event was expected to be tiny and minor. The 'Reality' panel for the Josh fight shows a large, packed crowd of hundreds of attendees having fun, using colorful foam pool noodles as mock weapons, showing the event had a far larger, more festive turnout than anticipated. The core joke of the meme is the complete ironic reversal of expectations between the two events: the high-stakes Area 51 raid that millions online said they would attend ended up being a tiny non-event, while the low-stakes silly Josh fight that was initially a private joke ended up drawing a huge crowd and becoming a popular public event.

This is a 2x2 grid pun meme. The top left panel displays the word "Skeleton", paired with the top right panel that shows a complete, full human anatomical skeleton standing upright. The bottom left panel displays the invented word "Skeleone", which is a pun playing on the word "skeleton": the suffix "-ton" in "skeleton" is a homophone for the English number "ten", so it is replaced with "-one" (the number 1) to make the new word. The bottom right panel corresponds to this pun, showing a single standalone femur bone to represent the "one" version of a skeleton.

A two-panel meme featuring Winnie the Pooh. The top panel displays Winnie the Pooh in his classic red shirt, sitting in a relaxed posture with a neutral expression, accompanied by the text 'Winnie the Pooh' to the right. The bottom panel shows the same character in the identical sitting posture but wearing a formal black suit with a white shirt and bow tie, with a subtly amused or smug expression; the text here reads 'Winnie the Pooh but in a suit'. The humor stems from the simple yet effective contrast between Pooh's casual original appearance and the unexpected formal attire, creating a lighthearted transformation.
