This is a two-panel reaction meme that uses a scene from Avengers: Endgame featuring Thanos and Nebula. The top panel shows Thanos looking regretfully downwards, with overlay text reading 'Me after Season 5' above his head and 'Perhaps I treated you too harshly.' below him. The bottom panel shows Nebula looking stoically up at Thanos, with text reading 'Season 4' positioned next to the official promotional poster for Season 4 of Amazon Prime Video's series The Boys. The joke conveys that viewers who harshly criticized Season 4 of The Boys for low quality have reversed their opinion after watching the even worse-received Season 5, and now feel they were too hard on Season 4.

The meme features two Shiba Inu dog characters side by side to compare TV show episode counts between the past and present. On the left, a muscular, anthropomorphic Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows back then' with the text '24 episodes per season' below it, symbolizing the higher episode count of older shows. On the right, a smaller, non-muscular Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows now' with the text '5 episodes per season' below it, representing the reduced episode count of modern shows. The visual contrast between the strong and weak physique of the dogs humorously emphasizes the decline in episode quantity over time.

This is a two-panel satirical meme arguing that the Breaking Bad series finale is unmatched in quality compared to poorly received later/final seasons of other popular TV shows. The top panel shows a public swimming pool: a struggling half-submerged boy is labeled 'The Boys S5', a happy girl held above water by a woman is labeled 'Stranger Things S5', and the woman holding her is labeled 'Game of Thrones S8', ranking these three disappointing seasons from worst to least bad in the eyes of fans. The bottom panel shows a skeleton sitting on a chair fully submerged at the pool bottom, labeled 'Walking Dead S11', implying this final season was received far more negatively than all the others shown. The core joke is that all listed seasons are widely considered letdowns, and none of them come close to the universal acclaim of Breaking Bad's finale.

The joke references widespread fan consensus that both hit television series produced poorly received, underwhelming final seasons that failed to meet the high quality standards set by their earlier seasons.

This is a two-panel meme that uses the popular Shrek 'Can You Do This For Five Minutes' meme template. In the top panel, Shrek says the line 'Can you stop milking out pointless sequels', calling out Disney. In the bottom panel, Shrek turns to look through a hole in a tent, where the Disney logo, the logo for *Frozen III*, and the logo for the new *Ice Age* sequel 'Boiling Point' are visible, with the bottom text reading 'For Five Minutes?'. The joke criticizes Disney (and major media studios in general) for constantly releasing unnecessary sequels to popular existing franchises solely to profit from established brand recognition, rather than creating new original content. There is extra irony here, as Shrek is owned by DreamWorks Animation, a competing studio to Disney.

This is a 3-panel exploitable meme. The text at the top reads "Writers of popular tv shows when it's about writing the final season:". The first panel shows a cartoon man in a white t-shirt and purple pants riding a bicycle downhill while holding a stick, looking focused. The second panel shows the man intentionally stabbing the front wheel of his still-moving bicycle with the stick while riding. The third panel shows the man crashed onto the grass next to the road, lying on his side in pain next to his destroyed bicycle. The joke serves as a metaphor for how writers of successful, popular TV shows often unnecessarily sabotage their own work by producing poorly received final seasons, ruining the audience's experience of the entire series for no apparent reason.
