Scissor Valley: The Brokeback Mountain Sequel Parody Meme

This image is a humorous meme presenting a fake Blu-ray cover for a fictional film titled *Scissor Valley*, framed as a satirical 'sequel' to the 2005 romantic drama *Brokeback Mountain*. At the top, a Reddit-style caption reads 'The Brokeback Mountain sequel the world actually needs.' The fake cover features the likenesses of real actresses Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney in an intimate, Western-themed valley setting at sunset: Sweeney embraces Armas from behind in a romantic pose. The cover includes several joke elements: a tagline 'AN OUTLAWED LOVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ENCOURAGES THEM' (a playful inversion of *Brokeback Mountain*'s premise of forbidden love), a vulgar pun in the director credit 'directed by Wada Phuc' (sounding like 'what the fuck'), and the title *Scissor Valley* which carries a strong sexual innuendo (referencing a slang term for lesbian intimacy). The meme parodies the original film's gay Western romance with a lesbian pairing, leaning into internet humor around celebrity parodies, sexual wordplay, and desired 'sequels' that subvert original media tropes.

This meme consists of a screenshot of a verified DiscussingFilm X (formerly Twitter) post reporting that the Saudi Arabia-funded film 'Desert Warrior' is on track to become one of the biggest box office flops of all time, having earned only $488,000 against its $150 million production budget, paired with official promotional art for the film showing the lead warrior character holding two swords against a golden sunset desert backdrop. The 9Gag repost adds a sarcastic joke in its title, suggesting the film would perform far better if it was renamed 'Desert Harem Babes', implying leaning into male gaze-oriented, tropey suggestive harem content would draw a larger audience than its current serious action premise.

This is a humorous edited meme formatted to look like a Hollywood feature film poster. It features a photograph of actor Ryan Gosling wearing a crisp white suit, looking to his left with a neutral calm expression. The text at the top reads 'Ryan Gosling is...', with large bold text below Gosling that says 'DIDDY', referencing the rapper and public figure Sean 'Diddy' Combs who was the subject of widespread viral controversy and legal scrutiny at the time the meme circulated. The bottom of the poster includes authentic-looking standard movie production credits to sell the bit of a hypothetical Diddy biopic starring Gosling, playing on the absurdity of the casting choice and the hype around Diddy's public scandals.

This meme plays on the sentiment that Hollywood lacks original creative output, matching the original source title 'Evil cannot create anything new'. It opens with text stating that a new 'Godfather' film is officially in development 54 years after the original 1972 film was released. It then displays a still of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone from the original Godfather next to the official The Godfather franchise logo. Below that, a snippet of a post from X (formerly Twitter) user @crushmarxismnow (display name Common Sense Extremists) sarcastically asks 'Who are Pedro Pascal and Zendaya going to play?', mocking the common modern Hollywood trend of casting popular current A-list actors in classic franchise reboots, and implying frustration with the lack of original film projects being produced.

This is a two-panel visual pun meme. The top panel displays a segment of a colored US state map, showing the states of Idaho (colored yellow) and Montana (colored purple) next to each other. The western border of Montana is shaped such that it appears to be positioned behind Idaho, leaning close to the area that would be Idaho's 'ear' if the state were a head facing left. The bottom panel uses the popular 'Picard whisper' reaction meme: actor Patrick Stewart as Star Trek character Jean-Luc Picard, labeled 'IDAHO', looks left with a neutral, slightly unimpressed expression, while a second person leaning behind him whispering into his right ear is labeled 'MONTANA'. The joke draws a direct visual comparison between the shape of the two states' shared border and the positions of the two people in the reaction meme.

This is a viral meme shared on 9Gag, featuring news that Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn, known professionally as Raygun, has reportedly lost her university job. Below the headline is a formal portrait of Gunn against a red event backdrop, with a small inset image in the upper right of the portrait showing her performing breakdancing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Gunn received widespread international mockery after her poorly rated Olympic breakdancing performance, so the 9Gag post uses the original title 'Finally some good news' to reflect the widespread public schadenfreude at the news of her job loss.

It uses a still image of Chuck Norris wearing a cowboy hat from his TV show *Walker, Texas Ranger*, with large top text reading 'CHUCK NORRIS DID NOT DIE' and bottom text joking 'HE JUST FINISHED CONQUERING THIS WORLD AND HAS MOVED ONTO THE NEXT ONE'.
