A meme using a screenshot from the TV show 'Arrow' depicting a funeral scene for Oliver Queen. The image shows a group of people in dark clothing surrounding a gravesite with a tombstone. Overlaid text reads 'Millennials passing away in their 50s' near the tombstone and 'Gen Z that might pass away in their 50s as well' next to a man in a black coat who is kneeling, making a peace sign, and smiling.

This is a humorous relatable meme using a behind-the-scenes shot from the CW TV series *The Flash*. Lead actor Grant Gustin, labeled "Me", kneels next to a gravestone prop marked "My single life". He makes a playful, proud two-finger gesture towards the camera with a smug happy expression, while other people in the background of the funeral set look somber. The joke plays on contrast: the poster is enthusiastically celebrating the end of their single status, framing it as a funeral instead of a loss to communicate they are happy to have entered a committed romantic relationship.

This is a single-panel dark humor meme that features an official portrait of Joseph Stalin in Soviet military uniform, with a Soviet red flag bearing the hammer and sickle and star emblem, plus the golden spire of the Kremlin visible in the background. The text at the top reads "DARK HUMOR IS LIKE FOOD", and text at the bottom reads "NOT EVERYONE GETS IT".

This is a two-panel edited meme using footage from the SpongeBob SquarePants animated series. In the first panel, Mr. Krabs wears the iconic green cap of Link from The Legend of Zelda video game franchise, holds a shovel and stands next to a gravestone marked #1 Royal Family, with overlaid text reading 'Am I really going to defile this grave for money?'. In the second panel, Mr. Krabs has already begun digging up the grave, throwing treasures onto the ground, with overlaid text reading 'Of course I am!'. The joke combines three core references: Mr. Krabs' canonical extreme obsession with earning money, the common Legend of Zelda player behavior of robbing graves for valuable items while justifying it as the hero, and modern public discourse surrounding the British Royal Family's accumulated wealth.

This is a two-panel satirical meme referencing common stereotypes about French military history. The first panel, labeled 'The history of France', depicts a cartoon character representing France (marked with the French national flag) crawling on the ground about to be tackled by a flying figure covered in a collage of flags from many different countries, representing the large number of military conflicts France has participated in across its long history. The second panel, labeled 'How people remember it', depicts the same scene, except the flying figure is now only marked with the German national flag, joking about the widespread pop culture stereotype that most people only associate French military history with being defeated by Germany during World War II, ignoring all other parts of its historical conflict record.
