An animated meme featuring two contrasting visual elements. On the left, a soldier in a camouflage uniform is depicted kneeling with arms outstretched, surrounded by yellow flames and various weapons (including knives and bombs), with the text 'WAR PROPAGANDA' displayed at the top. Overlaid on the soldier is the text 'PEOPLE WHO POST TETTEN AND MEMES'. On the right, a person lies peacefully asleep in bed under a green blanket, with the label 'HORNY 9GAGERS.' positioned below the bed. The meme satirically contrasts the intense, chaotic imagery of war propaganda with the calm, mundane depiction of 9Gag users seeking lighthearted or explicit content.

A 4-panel meme where each panel is split into left and right sections. The left sections feature a simple stick figure standing on the edge of a cliff with progressively shorter text bubbles: initially 'Don't judge a book by it's cover', then 'Don't judge a book', followed by 'Don't judge', and finally 'Don't'. The right sections show identical angry mobs of stick figures holding pitchforks and torches, each labeled with different groups: 'Book cover artists', 'Book critics', 'Judges', and 'Nike'. The humor stems from the absurdity of shortening the original phrase to the point where it elicits an angry reaction from an unrelated brand (Nike), playing on the contrast between the shrinking statement and the consistently hostile mob response.

He has a deadpan, slightly annoyed expression and stands with his hands on his hips. Overlaid text at the top reads: 'COULD YOU POLITIK RETARDS FUCK OFF FROM 9GAG SO WE COULD HAVE MEME'S AGAIN' and at the bottom: 'THAT WOULD BE GREAT'. The watermark 'imgflip.com' is visible in the bottom-left corner. The meme expresses frustration with political content dominating 9Gag, demanding its removal to restore traditional memes.

This remixed meme uses the popular Jason Momoa sneaking behind Henry Cavill template. Henry Cavill stands calmly in the foreground on a pink premiere red carpet in a formal suit, with overlaid text reading 'any meme about the third reich'. Behind him, Jason Momoa creeps forward with a mischievous grin, with overlaid text reading '"i did nazi that coming!"'. The core joke is a homophonic pun where 'Nazi' is substituted for 'not see' to create the phrase 'I did not see that coming', an extremely common, overused corny joke that reliably appears in comments or responses to any online content referencing the Third Reich or Nazi Germany.

An image macro meme featuring an elderly man with a frustrated and angry expression. He is wearing a black hat, gray scarf, and formal suit, and is pointing upwards with his index finger. The meme includes two text overlays: the top text reads 'BACK IN MY DAY THIS PLACE WAS FULL OF MEMES, NO REPOSTS' and the bottom text continues 'FULL OF TETTEN AND SAUCE ADDICTS'. The man's posture and expression convey a sense of nostalgia and irritation, typical of the 'old man yells at cloud' trope, used here to humorously critique modern meme culture by contrasting it with an idealized past.

A two-panel meme. The top panel features parents proudly declaring, 'OUR CHILDREN DON’T USE INSTAGRAM. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.' Below this statement, their daughter is shown with the caption 'THEIR DAUGHTER WHO IS ADDICTED TO TUMBLR.' The bottom panel shows their son, captioned 'THEIR SON WHO IS ADDICTED TO 4CHAN/REDDIT.' The humor stems from the irony of parents being unaware their children use alternative social media platforms despite avoiding Instagram.
