Rest in Peace Death, Killed By Chuck Norris

This is a black and white dark humor meme featuring a person dressed as the Grim Reaper (the personification of Death) holding a scythe, overlaid with an obituary for Death itself. The joke plays on the classic Chuck Norris internet fact trope, where exaggerated absurd claims are made about Chuck Norris' superhuman toughness: the meme says Death was "Peacefully Chuck Norrised yesterday", turning Chuck Norris' name into a verb meaning killed by Chuck Norris, leaning into the long-running joke that Chuck Norris is so tough he even defeated Death. The obituary lists Death's lifespan as from infinity to 2026, adding to the absurdity of the joke.

This is a pun meme mourning the death of famous actor and long-time internet meme icon Chuck Norris, who is stated to have been born 1940 and died 2026 at the age of 86. The core joke is a word swap: the standard obituary phrase would be 'Chuck died at the age of 86', but the meme reverses this to read 'Number 86 died at the age of Chuck', swapping the number (his age at death) with his first name, creating a silly pun that references the man himself. The image uses a black-and-white portrait of Chuck Norris, with a black mourning ribbon added to honor his passing, and his birth and death years overlaid at the bottom.

This is a collage meme split into two distinct sections. The left section features a screenshot from the animated TV series *The Simpsons*, showing Lisa Simpson sitting on the lap of Professor Frink, who is piloting a flying wheelchair over the town of Springfield; both characters have neutral, slightly concerned expressions. The right section is a two-panel Wojak-style meme: the top panel displays a cheerful, grinning Wojak face labeled "1999-2024", representing a period of perceived optimism, while the bottom panel shows a dark, hollow-eyed, distressed Wojak labeled "2024-2026", symbolizing a sharp shift to pessimism and bleakness. The meme satirizes the collective mood change, contrasting the nostalgic, calmer pre-2024 era with a grim outlook for the immediate future, using the familiar Simpsons scene as a nostalgic lead-in to the mood-based Wojak format.

This is a two-panel Wojak-format meme that comments on how humanity's core fundamental problems have not improved over thousands of years. The top panel is set in 1000 BC, featuring a grey alien Wojak standing next to a hovering UFO, who says he will go check on Earth. An ancient human figure beside him lists the major problems plaguing humanity: War, Disease, Hunger. The bottom panel jumps forward to 2026, where the same alien says that surely things have changed after thousands of years, but a modern human still lists the exact same three problems. The meme makes an ironic point that despite thousands of years of technological and social development, humanity still struggles with the same basic issues it faced in ancient times.

This meme uses the popular blurry shocked Elmo template to create a joke combining two internet trends: classic Chuck Norris 'fact' memes that exaggerate his extreme toughness and immortality, and video game boss fight mechanics. The overlaid text reads 'Death seeing Chuck's 2nd health bar appear', which means Death (who was trying to kill Chuck Norris) is shocked to see a second health bar (a common video game trope where bosses get multiple health bars for different phases) after depleting the first. Elmo's shocked, wide-eyed expression represents Death's surprise, and the original title 'Boss music intensifies' further references the video game trope of boss music starting when a boss enters a new phase.
