This single-panel meme features the full main cast of the Scooby-Doo franchise's Mystery Inc. team (Velma, Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, Fred, Daphne) posed together in front of a dark, spooky haunted house. Text is overlaid at the top and bottom of the image, forming the joke: 'Mystery Inc. could solve most cases in 5 minutes.. if they simply asked Velma first'. The joke pokes fun at a long-running trope of the franchise, where Velma, the most intelligent member of the group, usually figures out the solution to the mystery very early on, but the rest of the gang spends additional time running from fake ghosts, investigating red herrings, and getting into hijinks before they listen to her conclusions.

The meme presents a side-by-side comparison of famous horror author Stephen King, playing on the double meaning of "the 70s". The left panel is labeled "Stephen King in the 70s", showing a photograph of a young, long-haired, bearded King from the 1970s decade with a wide, wild-eyed, unsettling grin. The right panel is labeled "Stephen King in his 70s", showing a contemporary photograph of King when he is over 70 years old, with gray hair and glasses, sporting a knowing, similarly uncanny smirk. The title jokes that his consistently eerie vibe makes it unsurprising he wrote the horror novel *It*, which has a famously strange and divisive ending.

This 3-panel vertical meme creates a humorous juxtaposition between famous serious philosophical quotes and a silly pop culture punchline. The top panel displays a marble bust of ancient Greek philosopher Socrates paired with his well-known quote, "To be is to do.". The middle panel shows a painted portrait of 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant paired with his corresponding quote, "To do is to be.". The final bottom panel is the comedic punchline, featuring popular animated cartoon dog Scooby-Doo next to a nonsense phonetically similar phrase "Do be do be do." attributed to him, which is a playful reference to scat singing (famously used in songs like Frank Sinatra's *Strangers in the Night*) that subverts the serious tone of the preceding quotes.

This is a 3-panel multi-row meme that uses the popular 'show me the real X' template with Michael Fassbender's Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) image to rank Robin Hood portrayals. The first panel shows Russell Crowe's serious Robin Hood from the 2010 *Robin Hood* film on the left, with Fassbender on the right demanding 'Show me the real Robin Hood'. The second panel shows Kevin Costner's Robin Hood from 1991's *Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves*, with Fassbender responding 'I said the real Robin Hood' rejecting it. The third panel shows Cary Elwes' Robin Hood from Mel Brooks' parody film *Robin Hood: Men in Tights* (with a comedic visual gag of multiple split arrows stacked on his bow), and Fassbender approves calling this version 'Perfection'. The joke is that the parody comedy version is considered better than the big-budget serious mainstream Robin Hood adaptations.
