This meme features text dialogue at the top followed by a photograph of a pizza. The dialogue shows a man asking his partner if she is mad at him, to which she replies that she is not and even saved him some pizza. The photo below displays a pizza where all sauce, cheese, and toppings have been entirely eaten from every slice, leaving only a ring of plain, unwanted crust around the empty center of the pan. The joke relies on the clear passive-aggressive behavior: the woman claims she is not upset and did a kind gesture, but the undesirable leftover pizza crust reveals she is actually very angry at her partner.

This meme features text placed above a close-up photograph. The text poses a humorous, relatable trivial grievance: it questions why the vegetable widely known as 'red onion' is labeled as red, when its actual visible color is clearly purple, adding that the author has been thinking about this minor inconsistency for a while and is growing frustrated by it. The photo below shows a pile of freshly diced red onions that are distinctly purple in color, visually confirming the point made in the text. The joke plays on the common experience of noticing and fixating on small, inconsequential oddities in everyday life and common naming conventions.

This is a screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) post from user Laura @mxrionettes, opened with the text "My life in a picture". The attached image shows a person wearing a blue cap crawling on a paved sidewalk, reaching for an open pizza box. The person is labeled "Me trying to talk", the pizza box is labeled "A perfectly logical sentence". Multiple pepperoni pizza slices are spilled out of the box and scattered across the ground, labeled "What I actually say". The meme humorously depicts the common experience of intending to communicate a coherent, logical thought when speaking, but instead producing messy, disjointed, or jumbled speech that does not match the original intended message.

The right panel shows a canon rich, fancy, suit-wearing version of SpongeBob holding money and luxury items, labeled 'Avocados after a month', poking fun at how whole uncut avocados often take an extremely long time to ripen and stay edible for far longer than prepared guacamole.
