This meme is arranged as a 2-section collage. The top panel shows a shirtless adult man standing inside a red, fleshy, tunnel-shaped space, looking sideways with a confused, disoriented expression. The bottom section uses the widely popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' 3-panel reaction format: the left panel is the normal, smiling Mr. Incredible from *The Incredibles* labeled 'People who don't know', the middle panel is the unsettling black and white distorted version of Mr. Incredible labeled 'People who know', and the right panel is the faded, distressed, heavily distorted version of Mr. Incredible labeled 'People who wish they didn't know'. The meme relies on inside joke context: the top panel is a screenshot from a notoriously graphic, disturbing adult viral video, so viewers who recognize the source have the negative reactions shown in the middle and right panels, while unknowing viewers do not understand the reference.

This meme jokes about the modern trend in cinema where almost every film villain gets a tragic, sympathetic backstory (the referenced "sad incident") that explains why they became evil. The meme uses an edited image of Gru from *Despicable Me*, with his face photoshopped onto a real person's body grinning widely and giving a thumbs-up, to represent how villains were portrayed before this trend became common: unapologetically evil with no tragic backstory to justify their actions.

The meme features a split layout with text at the top reading 'how to turn on a light?' followed by two labeled sections: 'people who know' (left) and 'people who don't know' (right). Below 'people who know' is an animated character with a cheerful, confident expression—light-colored hair, wide eyes, and a friendly smile, set against a plain light background. Below 'people who don't know' is a shadowy, monochromatic version of the same character, with a confused, eerie expression and dark shadows obscuring parts of their face, creating a stark contrast between confidence and confusion in performing a simple task.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top of the image has bold black text reading 'How my friend looks at me when I take eyes off their favorite movie for 1 second'. Below the text is a low-quality, distorted image of a cartoon character with a furrowed brow, wide eyes, and a deep frown, staring intensely at the partial side profile of another person next to him. The humor comes from exaggerating the overly defensive, annoyed reaction that people who are very passionate about their favorite films have when their viewing partner is not paying full attention to the movie.

A two-panel meme contrasting the perception of 24FPS (frames per second) in movies versus video games.
