This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel shows a young girl in a beige knit hat and purple winter coat, smiling gently with her eyes closed as a bright blue morpho butterfly rests near her chin, paired with the text 'Me wanting a girl who's obsessed with me'. The bottom panel shows the same girl with wide, alarmed eyes, looking distressed as the butterfly has turned to face her and moved closer to her lips, paired with the text 'Me realizing I actually don't'.

This is a text-over-image meme that pairs the iconic 'Crying Michael Jordan' reaction photo with a relatable scenario about support from loved ones. The top text describes asking both a romantic partner (girlfriend) and a close male friend (bro) for $500: the girlfriend sends the full requested $500, while the friend only sends $312.64, implying the friend gave every single dollar he had available. The tearful, emotional expression of Michael Jordan in the image conveys that the narrator is deeply moved by the friend's gesture of giving everything he could, even if it was less than the full requested amount. The joke plays on the idea that unconditional effort and willingness to give all you have is often more meaningful than giving exactly what is asked for.

This 4-panel crudely drawn stick figure meme uses the classic 'nobody:' setup, which indicates the following behavior occurs unprompted, to show the relatable experience of eating a ripe mango. The first panel shows a simple stick figure holding a scored mango with small amounts of juice dripping. The second panel shows the same figure aggressively eating the mango, with mango juice smeared all over its face and dripping down its arms. The third panel shows the figure sitting in a large puddle of mango juice, still holding the fruit, completely covered in juice. The final panel shows a simplified wide-eyed stick figure holding the leftover mango core, with the text 'So good' below it.
