The top panel depicts the bulldog Spike and cat Tom clashing swords, with Spike labeled '1ST IS CEREAL' and Tom labeled '1ST IS MILK' to represent the two arguing sides of the debate. The bottom panel shows Jerry the mouse grinning smugly, captioned 'ME KNOWING 1ST IS THE BOWL', which serves as the sarcastic punchline highlighting the obvious, overlooked correct answer that both arguing sides ignore.

This meme features a scan of a classic vintage ice cream truck menu listing a wide variety of popular novelty frozen treats, including ice cream bars, sandwiches, cups, snow cones, character-themed popsicles, each marked with their respective price. The text at the top reads 'Truck pulls up, you only get one:', prompting viewers to select a single item from the list. The dark, absurd humor of the edit comes from a bottle of Clorox bleach that has been photoshopped into the bottom row of frozen treat options, incorrectly labeled as 'Blue Raspberry' flavor, presenting a deliberately deadly, undesirable option alongside the nostalgic, desirable ice cream choices.

This meme uses the popular 'fuck zodiac signs' format to dismiss the common casual online debate about astrological signs, replacing it with a more relatable, lighthearted debate about the best variety of fried potato dish. A 3x3 grid displays 9 different types of fried potatoes, each clearly labeled: Standard straight-cut fries, Waffle fries, Crinkle cut fries, Tater Tots, Curly fries, Sweet Potato fries, Steak Cut fries, Smiley face fries, and Home Fries. The joke hinges on the idea that a person's preference for fry type is a far more meaningful and relevant personality marker than their zodiac sign for many internet users, inviting viewers to share their favorite option.

This image is a 2x2 grid meme featuring three classic dessert pies and a playful pun compliment. The top-left panel shows a slice of cherry-filled Cherry Pie with its label; the top-right displays a slice of Apple Pie with visible fruit filling; the bottom-left is a slice of Pumpkin Pie topped with whipped cream, labeled accordingly. The bottom-right panel replaces a food pie with a simple, generic outline icon of a person labeled "YOU" above the text "Cutie Pie".
