Supergirl Can't Even Get A Date

This is a classic DC comic panel featuring Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) sitting outdoors at night under a full moon, with a city skyline in the background. She is crying, wiping a tear from her eye with a dejected, sad expression. A thought bubble above her head reads "WHAT'S THE GOOD OF BEING A SUPERGIRL HELPING EVERYONE IF I CAN'T EVEN GET A DATE!". The humor comes from the contrast between her status as a powerful superhero who saves people regularly, and her relatable, mundane frustration with struggling to find romantic dates.

Overview

This is a classic DC comic panel featuring Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) sitting outdoors at night under a full moon, with a city skyline in the background.

This is a hand-drawn dark humor relatable meme. It depicts a skeleton wearing a striped hoodie slumped face-down over a desk in front of a vintage orange CRT monitor. Plants are growing out of the skeleton's skull, the keyboard, and around the monitor, implying the skeleton has been dead at his workstation for a very long time. A speech bubble coming from the monitor reads "WHAT A WEEK, HUH?". In the background, a small frog peeks out of a broken old monitor and replies with a speech bubble that says "IT'S WEDNESDAY". The joke plays on the common relatable feeling of extreme exhaustion and burnout from work or school that makes people feel like they have already survived an entire full week even though it is only Wednesday, the middle of the standard work week.

This meme uses a classic DC comic panel of Superman straining to stop a speeding train that is about to hit an oblivious small boy holding a ball on the tracks. Three text overlays map relatable real-life social context to the panel: the speeding train is labeled as the user's parents aggressively pressuring them to ask a waitress for her phone number, Superman holding back the train is labeled as the user ignoring their parents and continuing to eat their meal, and the unaware small boy is labeled as the waitress who is only being polite as part of her job with no romantic interest. The joke plays on the common experience of family members overinterpreting casual friendliness from service workers as romantic interest, and the awkwardness of being pushed to make an unwanted advance.

This meme features a comic book illustration of Superman, standing with hands on hips, a smug, self-assured expression, and a bright glowing aura behind him. Overlaid text reads: 'How religious people feel after telling someone who just lost their entire family in an accident: "God has a plan"'. The image satirizes the perceived insensitivity and self-righteousness of using the common religious platitude 'God has a plan' to console someone who has suffered a catastrophic, traumatic loss. It frames the speaker as feeling unjustifiably proud or content with their comment, despite its lack of empathy for the grieving person.

This is a variant of the popular Actual Advice Mallard internet meme. It features a stock photograph of a male mallard duck floating calmly on rippling water, with bold white text with black outlines placed at the top and bottom of the image. The top text reads 'ALWAYS MASTURBATE' and the bottom text reads 'BEFORE A DATE'. The crude humorous advice refers to the idea that masturbating prior to a romantic date reduces sexual desperation and impulse, which the joke claims prevents you from overrating your date's attractiveness (as noted in the original 9GAG title stating 'Believe me, it turns a 10 into a 4!', referencing common 1-10 attractiveness rating scales) and making poor decisions driven by sexual arousal.

This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look. The humor comes from the common DC trope that Batman, being extremely wealthy, is always the one who ends up covering the costs of the Justice League's property damage, subverting Superman's statement by implying Batman will be the one footing the bill.

This is a three-panel comic meme that uses a bait-and-switch pun on the common motivational phrase "listen to your heart". 1. **Panel 1**: A neutral-faced female comic character stands with a square "heart" icon on her chest, under a banner reading "listen to your heart". 2. **Panel 2**: The character touches the square icon with a thoughtful expression, implying she is following the advice. 3. **Panel 3**: The icon opens like a book (revealing a heart inside), and a speech bubble delivers the crude, unexpected punchline: "suck his dick". The humor comes from subverting the wholesome, positive expectation of the phrase into an explicit, sexual suggestion, creating an edgy, surreal surprise effect.

This cute wholesome meme features a real Shiba Inu dog resting its head on a flat surface with one paw propped up, looking softly at the viewer. The image has a decorative background with pink heart outlines and sparkling effects, and includes text that delivers a corny geometry pun pickup line: "if u were a triangle / u would be acute one :)" The pun uses the geometry term "acute triangle" (a triangle with all angles smaller than 90 degrees) which sounds identical to "a cute one", making it a cheesy, wholesome romantic joke.

This is an edited meme that pastes the head of animated DC character Wonder Woman onto the body of the classic Bad Luck Brian meme character, against a plain purple background. White bold text at the top reads 'IS SUPER STRONG', while matching text at the bottom reads 'AFFECTED BY A SEXIST WEAKNESS WITH SYMBOLIC MEANING'. The joke acts as a critical commentary: it highlights the discrepancy between Wonder Woman's canonical super strength and the often sexist, poorly thought out narrative weaknesses written for her character, while also mocking the common misinformed take that refers to Wonder Woman as simply a 'female Superman' without acknowledging the different, often problematic, writing choices applied to her as a female superhero.

This is an edited meme using a still frame of Dora from the children's animated series *Dora the Explorer*. The image subverts the show's wholesome, educational format by overlaying vulgar, sarcastic text: "Where is the fuck I give? Can you find it?" Dora is depicted in her signature pink shirt, orange shorts, and purple backpack, standing in a bright jungle setting with her arms outstretched and a neutral-amused expression. The joke relies on wordplay and tonal subversion: it takes the show's core trope of asking viewers to help locate objects, and reframes the slang phrase "I don't give a fuck" (meaning complete apathy) as a missing object to find, creating edgy, relatable humor by contrasting innocent children's media with adult crude language to express indifference.

This is a two-panel relatable meme. The first panel features a brown-haired anime-style elf girl typing on a mobile phone, with large bold text reading "hey" next to her, indicating she has just sent this message to someone. The second panel shows the same girl holding her head with a distressed, regretful expression, accompanied by the text "fuck i'm so annoying", depicting the common experience of overthinking and feeling self-conscious immediately after initiating contact with another person.

A meme featuring a top text that reads 'Superheroes in Marvel when the world is getting destroyed, but it's not their movie.' Below the text is a photograph of a white dog peacefully sleeping in bed, covered with a pink blanket. The room has red walls with framed pictures hanging, creating a cozy atmosphere. The meme humorously compares Marvel superheroes' inaction when a crisis occurs outside their own movie to a dog sleeping through a disturbance, implying they don't get involved unless it's their main story.

This meme uses a two-part text setup and a celebrity photograph to satirize a common dating double standard. The top text states 'Girls: I want a nerdy boyfriend... What they mean by nerd 🌹', paired with a photo of Henry Cavill, a conventionally attractive A-list actor, wearing glasses. The joke hinges on the gap between the stereotypical 'nerd' (socially awkward, not conforming to mainstream beauty standards) and the actual preference many people have: someone who may have nerdy interests but still fits conventional attractiveness norms. The rose emoji adds a lighthearted, romantic flair to the punchline, emphasizing the playful critique of dating expectations.
