This two-panel meme contrasts people unfamiliar with a niche gaming reference against those who recognize it. The top panel shows two horses from *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*: one wearing a silly banana-peel styled armor, the other in formal knightly horse armor. The bottom panel uses the popular Mr. Incredible meme variant: left is the friendly, smiling Mr. Incredible labeled **People who don't know**, right is the distorted, uncanny smiling Mr. Incredible labeled **People who know**. The joke references the 2006 *Oblivion* horse armor DLC, one of the first widely criticized overpriced microtransactions in gaming; those in the know understand the absurdity of the DLC, while others only see strange horse outfits.

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 is a 2x2 grid pun meme. The top left panel displays the word "Skeleton", paired with the top right panel that shows a complete, full human anatomical skeleton standing upright. The bottom left panel displays the invented word "Skeleone", which is a pun playing on the word "skeleton": the suffix "-ton" in "skeleton" is a homophone for the English number "ten", so it is replaced with "-one" (the number 1) to make the new word. The bottom right panel corresponds to this pun, showing a single standalone femur bone to represent the "one" version of a skeleton.

A two-panel meme featuring Mike Wazowski from the animated film 'Monsters, Inc.' The top left panel contains the text 'Saying the most heinous thing known to mankind' paired with a top right image of Mike standing calmly with a neutral expression. The bottom left panel displays the text 'not having /s at the end' alongside a bottom right image of Mike with a distorted, intense appearance, shooting a bright laser beam from his eye. The meme humorously exaggerates the frustration of missing the /s (sarcasm) tag in online communication, implying that failing to include this tag is equivalent to committing a heinous act due to potential misinterpretation of sarcastic remarks.

This meme uses a widely recognized reaction image of a skeptical, confused young Black woman holding her hand up as if pushing back or questioning a claim. The top text cites the high-profile 2024/2025 criminal case "People v. Mangione", which refers to the prosecution of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The bottom text asks "WHO IS THIS 'PEOPLE'?", making a sarcastic joke about the standard US legal naming convention for criminal cases where the prosecution is framed as representing "the People" (the general public). The joke references the widespread online sympathy and support expressed for Mangione, implying the public does not support the prosecution, so the identity of the "People" bringing the case is unclear.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.

This two-panel meme uses a scene from *The Eric Andre Show* (Adult Swim) to satirize hypocrisy in online culture: 1. **Panel 1**: A man labeled "smart Redditors" points a gun at a slumped person labeled "People with a Trivial question" — mocking the common Reddit attitude of dismissing people who ask simple questions that could be answered by a quick Google search. 2. **Panel 2**: The same "smart Redditor" character now looks confused, with the caption *"Why would people use AI?"* — highlighting the irony: the person who mocks others for not using basic search tools now fails to recognize the utility of AI, which can assist with tasks or answer complex questions, showing a lack of self-awareness.

Two bold white text overlays are present: the top text reads 'People who think this giant wins' and the bottom text reads 'People who use this meme template correctly'.
