Below that is an edited image of the character Morty from the animated series Rick and Morty, with a yelling black cat's face photoshopped onto Morty's head. The character is pointing with one hand, and text at the bottom of the image reads 'You son of a bitch, I\'m in'.

A three-panel meme featuring Winnie the Pooh. The top panel shows Pooh with a neutral expression, accompanied by the text '... 9am 10am 11am'. The middle panel displays Pooh grimacing with visible teeth, next to the prominently sized text '12pm'. The bottom panel returns to Pooh with a neutral expression, with the text '1pm 2pm 3pm ...'. The humor lies in highlighting the confusion caused by '12pm' (noon) in the 12-hour clock format, implicitly arguing that the 24-hour clock is superior by avoiding such ambiguity.
