The top text reads, "Me trying to figure out why most people aren't talking about how a YouTuber made a movie more successful than most Hollywood films:". Below the text is a screenshot of an animated character from the anime *Nichijou*, identified as Yuko Aioi. She is lying on a wooden floor with her head resting on her arms, displaying a confused and contemplative expression—wide eyes, slightly open mouth, and a thoughtful posture, effectively conveying puzzlement about the underdiscussion of the YouTuber's movie success compared to Hollywood films.

This is a single-panel reaction meme that uses a screenshot of the anime character Mio Naganohara from *Nichijou* giving a thumbs up with a subtle self-satisfied expression. The text overlaid at the top jokes that Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson is happy to watch critics give harsh negative reviews to the biographical film made about his son. The joke relies on the widely publicized context that Joe Jackson had an abusive, deeply strained relationship with Michael Jackson throughout his life, implying he would take pleasure in seeing media related to his son be poorly received.

This animated meme uses Anya Forger's increasingly smug, widening smile to illustrate Thomas Jefferson's extreme satisfaction after pulling off the Louisiana Purchase, buying a massive territory from Napoleon Bonaparte for only 3 cents per acre. The animation shows Anya's grin growing wider and more smug across the sequence, emphasizing the joke that Napoleon got outmaneuvered (finessed) on the deal, while Jefferson got an incredible historic steal.

This meme is a reaction-style post. The top text reads 'Me when the general public treats live action Moana with the same level of rejection as the far more creatively inspired Supergirl:'. Below this text is a screenshot of Yuuko Aioi from the slice of life anime *Nichijou*, looking extremely pleased: her eyes are closed, she has pink blush on her cheeks, and she grins happily against a soft, bright pastel background filled with sparkles, glowing orbs, and pastel flowers. The text below the character reads '...wonderful!'. The joke conveys the poster's petty satisfaction that the poorly received upcoming Supergirl adaptation is not the only live action project facing widespread public pushback, as the upcoming live action Moana is receiving similar negative reception.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top text first states "Disney: *ruins Star Wars for everyone else*", followed by "Me whose brain naturally cancels out the sequels:". Below this text is a still frame of Elton John from his iconic "I'm Still Standing" music video, where he wears a light boater hat with a black band, white oversized sunglasses with tinted lenses, and a grey suit, with his mouth wide open as if singing or exclaiming happily. The bottom overlaid text on the image reads "I'M STILL STANDING". The joke conveys that the poster is unaffected by widespread fan criticism of Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy, as they choose to ignore those films entirely and still enjoy the Star Wars franchise without negative feelings.

A two-panel meme satirizing Elon Musk attempting to send direct messages (DMs) to Jeffrey Epstein. The top panel shows a man in a gray suit and striped tie leaning against a metal fence, holding a microphone, with the text 'LET ME IN.' The bottom panel shows the same man falling to the ground, yelling 'LET ME INNNNNN!!!' The top text of the meme reads 'Elon Musk slipping into Eppsteins DMs like,' using the escalating desperation in the images to humorously imply an over-eager or desperate attempt to initiate contact.

This is a relatable meme featuring a screenshot of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants looking dazed, exhausted, and faintly relieved as he leans against a tree. Overlaid text at the top of the image reads 'POV: When you did something that lowkey ruined your life but wake up and realise it was just a dream'. The meme captures the very specific, intense feeling of relief people experience after waking from a hyper-realistic stressful nightmare where they made a catastrophic life-altering mistake, only to realize none of the negative events actually occurred.

This is a two-panel sarcastic meme using a clip from *The Eric Andre Show*. In the first panel, the character labeled 'Hollywood' (played by Eric Andre) shoots a man slumped in an armchair labeled 'a good movie franchise', with adjacent text explaining the action is 'Puts Jared Leto in it'. In the second panel, the 'Hollywood' character stands next to the dead body of the franchise looking confused, with text asking 'Why do ours movies keep failing'. The joke mocks Hollywood's habit of casting Jared Leto in well-loved movie franchises, a choice widely criticized by audiences for leading to poor commercial and critical performance, while Hollywood executives act oblivious to their own bad decisions causing franchise failures.

This is a single panel reaction meme. The top text sets up the premise of the joke: it describes Hollywood's reaction to learning that two of the most critically and commercially successful films of the year, *Obsession* and *The Backrooms*, were both created by independent YouTubers rather than traditional major film studios. Below the text is a widely recognized reaction screenshot of the character Yuko Aioi from the comedy anime *Nichijou*, depicted with a dropped jaw, blank glazed eyes, heavy sweating, and trembling raised hands against a dynamic purple speed-line background that amplifies the tone of extreme shock, panic, and disbelief. The joke sarcastically calls out how out of touch traditional Hollywood is with the growing quality and success of independent content created by online digital creators.

This meme combines a critical text caption with a screenshot from the anime *Nichijou - My Ordinary Life* to express conflicted fan sentiment about overextended media franchises. The top text reads: "Me, kinda hoping Toy Story 5 is bad just so they stop milking the franchise (They should've stopped after Toy Story 3):". The accompanying anime image features character Yuuko Aioi standing under a covered outdoor walkway, gazing out at falling rain with a solemn, resigned expression. The joke lies in the relatable frustration of fans who feel beloved franchises are being "milked" (overcommercialized with unnecessary sequels) past their peak—Toy Story 3 is widely regarded as a perfect, emotional conclusion to the series. The character's melancholic demeanor mirrors the conflicted wish: the user doesn't want to dislike a new Toy Story installment, but feels it's the only way to end the endless sequels.

A meme composed of two sections: the top section contains bold text reading 'JK Rowling resisting the urge to name a Japanese exchange student "Hiro Shima"', and the bottom section features a reaction image of a real person with a strained, struggling facial expression, looking upwards. The text plays on the name of the Japanese city "Hiroshima" by splitting it into "Hiro Shima", creating a pun that implies JK Rowling might be tempted to use such a name for a character, while the reaction image visually conveys the effort of resisting that urge.
