Sorry Pal, There Is No Third Tower Pentagon Meme

This is a dark humor meme. The image shows the nose of a large commercial airplane positioned extremely close to the exterior of the Pentagon building, with bare trees visible in the background. White text at the top of the image reads: "Sorry pal, there is no third tower". The joke references the September 11, 2001 attacks: two hijacked planes struck the two World Trade Center towers in New York, while a third hijacked plane struck the Pentagon in Virginia. The punchline frames the line as the Pentagon speaking to the incoming plane, implying the plane was attempting to find a third World Trade Center tower and has arrived at the wrong location.

A meme contrasting Red Bull's founding year (1984) with the existence of planes in 1983, humorously referencing Red Bull's iconic slogan 'Red Bull gives you wings.' The top text establishes the timeline: 'Red Bull was founded in 1984 Planes in 1983:' followed by a photograph of a commercial airplane (likely a British Airways Boeing 747) with a noticeably tilted posture, visually implying that planes already had literal 'wings' before Red Bull's marketing claim. The tilted plane adds comedic effect, suggesting instability or a playful nod to the absurdity of the comparison.

This is a single-panel Easter joke meme that uses the popular 'Nobody:' bait format. The text reads 'Nobody: / Jesus on the third day:', referencing the core Christian Easter belief that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. The image is a screenshot of popular Twitch streamer MoistCr1tikal, where an accidental camera angle creates an optical illusion that his neck is extremely stretched, with his head tilted back and eyes closed in a pose that looks just like Jesus rising up from the grave, which serves as the visual punchline of the joke.

This is a two-panel comedy meme edited from a live-action Star Trek scene. The top panel features a female character asking the question 'Are you two friends?'. The bottom panel shows two male characters, with the left one labeled 'Conspiracy theorists' who answers 'No.' and the right one labeled 'Flatearthers' who answers 'Yes.'. The joke is that even most other conspiracy theorists consider flat Earth belief to be too absurd and extreme to associate with, reflecting the common view that flat Earth theory is an outlier even among fringe conspiracy beliefs.

This is a gaming-focused reaction meme that leverages the iconic shocked Vince McMahon image from WWE. The meme uses a pun: "Isreal engine" sounds phonetically identical to "real engine", creating a humorous contrast with the well-known game development platform Unreal Engine. The image features Vince McMahon with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed shocked expression, which is framed as Unreal Engine's reaction to the arrival of this fictional "real engine".

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The left panel displays one standard pair of metal scissors, with text above reading 'if this is a pair of scissors'. The right panel displays two separate, unconnected pairs of the same scissors, with text above reading 'then wtf is this'. The joke relies on the odd quirk of English grammar where a single scissor tool is always referred to as a 'pair of scissors', leading to the absurd, confusing question of what term would correctly apply to two separate pairs of scissors, playing on the double meaning of the word 'pair' in this context.

This meme photograph is taken from a balcony looking out over a residential neighborhood with European-style buildings topped with terracotta orange tile roofs, under a bright, clear, almost cloudless blue sky. The only cloud present is a large, perfectly formed puffy white cloud that bears an exact visual resemblance to the standard Unicode ☁️ cloud emoji. Overlaid on the lower portion of the sky is text that reads "☁️ ahh cloud" followed by a loudly crying face emoji and a peace sign hand emoji, conveying an over-the-top excited, affectionate reaction to the funny coincidence of the real cloud matching the digital emoji perfectly.

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 is a 2-panel satirical Wojak meme mocking people who promote the conspiracy theory that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids instead of native ancient Egyptians. In the first panel, a smug light-skinned Wojak with glasses and a fade haircut claims to a neutral grey alien: 'You guys built the pyramids', and the alien replies 'We didn't'. In the second panel, the same Wojak is now angry, crying, and gritting his teeth as he says to a smiling ancient Egyptian Wojak wearing a pharaonic crown: 'You guys didn't build the pyramids', and the Egyptian responds 'We did'. The joke highlights the bad faith and biased logic of conspiracy theorists who reject both the fact that aliens did not build the pyramids and that ancient Egyptians were the actual builders.
