An animated meme featuring Peter Griffin from the TV show Family Guy. He is depicted with a deadpan, unimpressed expression, standing in front of a circular spectrum dial labeled 'Anime' at the top and 'Hentai' at the bottom, with a gradient of colors between the two labels.

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 animated reaction meme uses the character Samurai Jack to make a joke about irrational anxiety over extremely low-probability events. The repeated caption states "me when I learn there is a .0000000001 in quadrillianth chance at any time that the atoms of my body and the world align and I literally noclip through the ground into the center of the world". The character's expression progresses from wide-eyed, open-mouthed panicked shock as he processes the information, then shifts to a stern, deadpan, unamused stoic look, humorously capturing the relatable feeling of being unsettled by technically possible but effectively impossible hypothetical risks, referencing the video game term "noclip" which refers to a cheat mode that lets players pass through solid objects.

This meme uses a screenshot of a vintage anime female character with exaggeratedly large breasts and a triumphant, wide grin. The top text reads: *Game developers after adding boob physics to their game*. The joke satirizes the common trope in some video games where developers prioritize adding gratuitous, over-the-top breast physics (often for fan service) and frame this as a key feature for 'immersion' (as referenced in the original meme title). The character's confident, proud posture amplifies the humor, implying developers view this addition as a major success rather than a superficial, unnecessary feature.

A meme consisting of two text segments followed by an anime screenshot. The first text reads 'Them: I don’t have a weed problem, I can quit any time' and the second text 'Also them:' is positioned above an animated scene. The scene depicts a character dramatically diving or falling through an outdoor area with tall pillars, green mountains, and buildings in the background, bathed in warm, golden light. The humor stems from the sarcastic contrast between the denial of a weed problem and the extreme, desperate action implied by the character’s dive, suggesting the individual cannot actually quit easily.
