This meme pairs a classical Renaissance-era portrait painting of a noblewoman in a yellow gown with pearl jewelry holding an orange tabby cat, with the text caption above reading 'Me talking sh*t about you to my cat'.

This meme pairs a vintage-style realist painting with a humorous, relatable caption. The painting depicts two people in a dim, somber room: a woman sits on the edge of a bed holding a hand of playing cards, her expression bored and frustrated as she looks away. Beside her, another person lies face down on the bed, appearing unengaged, withdrawn, or emotionally draining. The top caption reads: "Someone is with your ex right now realizing why you left..." The joke leans into the petty, satisfying feeling of knowing that your ex's new partner is now experiencing the same unfulfilling, frustrating behaviors that led you to end the relationship. The painting's tired, disconnected visuals perfectly mirror the caption's implication that the ex is a draining person to be around.

The meme consists of two sections: a top text script describing a common social anxiety scenario, and a bottom reaction image. The text script reads: 'me: *walks past someone*', 'person: *laughing*', 'anxiety: they're talking about u', 'me: thats not true', 'anxiety: I SAID THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU'. Below the text is an image of a young Black woman holding her forehead, looking visibly distressed and overwhelmed, which visually represents the experience of being plagued by intrusive anxious thoughts in a public setting. The joke relies on the widely relatable experience of people with social anxiety overinterpreting neutral social cues as being targeted at themselves.

A meme featuring Lisa Simpson from the animated TV show 'The Simpsons.' Lisa is depicted holding a white mug while another character (likely Marge, identifiable by the blue hair and arm) pours coffee into it. Overlaid text on the left side reads 'conversations that start with "you can't tell anyone, but"' and Lisa is labeled with 'me.' The humor lies in Lisa's eager, attentive expression, symbolizing someone excitedly anticipating a secret, as the phrase 'you can't tell anyone, but' typically precedes confidential or juicy information. This visual metaphor compares the allure of secret conversations to eagerly receiving coffee, highlighting the relatable excitement of hearing gossip or private news.

This is a 4-panel collage meme made from different classic 19th-century oil paintings all depicting Ophelia from William Shakespeare's *Hamlet*, who drowned after falling into a river in a state of madness. Centered over the collage is the text "me after saying it is what it is". The humor comes from relatable self-deprecation: the phrase "it is what it is" is commonly used to dismiss and cope with situations that are unpleasant, unavoidable, and out of one's control, and the meme jokes that after saying this phrase, the speaker feels as defeated, exhausted, and lifeless as the drowned Ophelia shown in the artworks.
