This humorous meme features a candid photo of an orange tabby cat riding on the back of a small white dog as the dog walks forward down a carpeted indoor hallway. The cat has a serious, stoic expression, while the dog looks happy and cheerful. At the bottom of the image, a text overlay quotes the Book of Revelation's description of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: 'And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the rider's name was death'. The joke relies on the absurd juxtaposition of the dramatic, apocalyptic biblical text with the silly, mundane scene of a cat riding a dog, framing the cat as the ominous rider Death and the white dog as the 'pale horse' referenced in the quote.

This meme uses a classic Warhammer 40,000 artwork depicting an aggressive mass charge of Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) soldiers into battle, with firing weapons, a regimental flag, and supporting vehicles in the war-torn background. Two lines of text are overlaid at the top: the first line states 'OTHER GENERATIONS: "SCIENTOLOGY IS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT WORSHIP HOW YOU WANT"', referencing the relatively tolerant stance of older generations toward the Church of Scientology. The second line reads 'GEN Z IN MARCH FOR NO REASON:', framing the charging army as Gen Z, joking that Gen Z spontaneously launched an aggressive, coordinated opposition campaign against Scientology for no obvious explicit reason during March, referencing the real viral trend of Gen Z targeting Scientology with protests, online trolling, and critical content in that period.

This image is a screenshot of a news article published by The New Zealand Herald on May 14, 2024. The article headline reports that a group of teenage boys were expelled from school after staff incorrectly assumed the dark substance on their faces was racist blackface, but the teens later won a $1 million payout after proving the substance was black acne skincare masks. The article includes two supporting photos: the left photo shows three of the boys posing for a selfie while wearing dark black face masks, and the right photo shows two boys wearing white face masks, confirming they were using common skincare products. The humor of the meme comes from the absurd, unexpected twist of a serious disciplinary action for alleged racism turning out to be a harmless misunderstanding over skincare, resulting in a large financial settlement for the wrongfully expelled students.

This is a nighttime photo of a gas station price sign. At the top of the sign, the 7-Eleven convenience store logo is displayed. Below the logo, branding for 'Synergy Fuel Technology' is visible, followed by digital price readouts: regular gasoline is priced at 7.11 in red text, and diesel fuel is also priced at 7.11 in green text. Above the photo, a text caption reads 'the prophecy has been fulfilled'. The humor stems from the perfect coincidence that both fuel prices match the numerical namesake of the 7-Eleven brand, framed as a long-awaited prediction coming true. A partial Mobil gas station sign is visible in the bottom left of the frame.

This image captures a highly ironic scene at an iRobot retail store, which specializes in selling Roomba automated robotic vacuum cleaners designed to clean floors without manual labor. Dozens of boxed Roomba units are clearly displayed on built-in shelves across the back wall of the store. The central humorous element is a female store employee who is manually mopping the wood-look floor of the store with a standard mop, rather than using the automated cleaning products that the brand sells to customers. A second woman standing next to a stroller is partially visible at the left edge of the frame, and a chair with coats and personal items is visible in the right foreground.

This is an edited anime meme using a fight scene from Dragon Ball Super, where two powerful characters float against a fiery, high-temperature background. The character on the left has had their head replaced with a steel cube, labeled "Steel, melting at 1370°C". The character on the right has had their head replaced with a durian fruit, labeled "Durian fruit, withstanding 3300°C for some reason???". The joke humorously exaggerates the widely shared factoid about the extreme heat resistance and toughness of the durian's thick, spiky outer rind, framing it as far more durable than steel even at extremely high temperatures.

This meme features text at the top reading 'Do you hear them Clarice? Are the lambs still screaming?', a famous menacing line spoken by the character Hannibal Lecter from the 1991 horror film *The Silence of the Lambs*. Below the text is a photograph of a white cat with dark spots sitting upright inside a glass pet enclosure. The glass distorts the cat's face slightly, giving it an eerie, unsettling smug expression that perfectly matches the threatening tone of the movie quote for humorous effect. Other cats can be seen resting in the background of the enclosure.

The meme features an extremely muscular man edited to wear white, pope-style clerical robes, standing on a grassy outdoor field looking solemnly down at a heavily weighted barbell placed directly in front of his feet. He wears white Nike sneakers peeking out from under the hem of his robe. Text at the top of the image reads 'Forgive me Father,' and text at the bottom reads 'for I have gymmed.' The humor comes from a pun on the standard Catholic confession opening line 'Forgive me Father, for I have sinned', replacing 'sinned' with 'gymmed' to frame dedicated weightlifting as a lighthearted 'sin' the buff religious figure is confessing to, leaning into the absurd contrast between pious religious attire and a hyper-muscular gym-focused physique.

This is a crude humorous single-panel meme composed of two lines of text above a popular reaction image. The first text line sets up a relatable public etiquette scenario: a pregnant woman on a bus politely asks the poster to give up his seat for her. The second line presents the poster's absurd, satirical internal justification for refusing: he claims he has 'billions of kids in my balls', a crude reference to sperm cells, jokingly implying he is carrying far more children than the pregnant woman and thus deserves the seat more. The image under the text is a shot of the character Jafar from the 2019 live action *Aladdin* film, looking smug and self-righteous, as if this absurd, bad-faith justification is a completely valid, unassailable logical argument. The joke satirizes people who make petty, ridiculous excuses to avoid performing basic acts of courtesy for vulnerable people.

The image displays a vintage brass compass placed on top of a printed geographic map, with bold white text with black outlines overlaid at the top and bottom of the frame. The top text reads 'THEY DEADASS NAMED THIS THING' and the bottom text reads 'A CUM PISS'. The core joke is a lowbrow, lewd phonetic pun that intentionally mispronounces the English word 'compass' to sound like the vulgar phrase 'cum piss' for shock comedic effect. The slang term 'deadass' is used here to mean 'seriously' to lean into the absurd, sarcastic premise of the meme.

This is a close-up shot of a real woman displaying an extremely strained, uncomfortable expression as the final result of the viral 'engine blow (baogang) smiley face' trend. Her entire face is bright red and flushed, her eyes are squinted nearly shut, and her lips are pursed tightly as if she is holding her breath, matching the third step of the associated tutorial that states the final effect is feeling uncomfortable. She is wearing a light pale beige top and appears to be reclining when the photo was taken.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The text at the top reads 'Fox in the new game reminds me of someone....'. The left panel features the widely shared viral photograph of a real red fox with an uncanny, forced wide smile and bulging wide eyes that became a popular internet meme. The right panel shows the fox non-player character from the 2023 Bethesda video game Starfield, who wears a futuristic headset and gear, and has a near-identical awkward wide smile and bulging eye expression as the meme fox. The humor comes from the unexpected and hilarious uncanny resemblance between the newly released game character and the pre-existing viral meme subject.
