This humorous dark meme is structured with two lines of text at the top followed by an edited image. The first line reads 'Me: *Changes sleeping position because I feel uncomfortable*', the second line reads 'The people attending my funeral:'. Below the text is an edited image of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc, where his face has been swapped with James P. Sullivan's face, giving him a blank, wide-eyed, shocked staring expression. The joke relies on dark absurd humor: it implies the narrator who believes they are just adjusting their position in bed is actually dead, and their corpse moving during their funeral has shocked all the attendees, whose reaction is represented by the unsettling stare of the edited character.

This is a satirical political meme formatted to look like a real Associated Press (AP) fact check article from 2024 US election coverage. The absurd headline jokes that a major news outlet had to officially debunk the fake, silly claim that the "JD" in politician JD Vance's name stands for the made-up, nonsensical phrase "Jorkin Depeanus". The humor comes from the ridiculous premise that such an obviously fake, immature joke would become widespread enough to require a formal fact check from a reputable news organization, leaning into online mockery of the 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate. A real photo of JD Vance at a public event with an Ohio state flag in the background appears below the edited headline.

The image shows a rear view of a man standing near a body of water, next to two other people (one man in a dark shirt on the left, one blonde woman with a ponytail in front of him). The man wears a two-tone cream and blue baseball cap worn backwards, printed with the text 'MAKE EUROPE EUROPE AGAIN' -- a parody of the American 'Make America Great Again' political slogan, tied to anti-immigration far-right ideology. His white t-shirt is designed in the style of a band tour shirt, printed on the back with: 'THE DOCTORS AND THE ENGINEERS / THE GREAT REPLACEMENT TOUR 2026', followed by a list of European city names altered to add Arabic/Muslim naming conventions (e.g. Londonistan for London, Parisistan for Paris, Berlinabad for Berlin). These altered names reference the debunked far-right 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory that claims white European populations are being systematically replaced by Muslim and non-white immigrants. Overlaid on the upper part of the image is reaction text that reads 'TF is bro wearing 😂', expressing shocked, amused disbelief at the offensive and absurd clothing the man is wearing.

This is a two-panel edited meme combining two popular internet joke formats. The top panel uses a canonical scene from *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring*, showing Bilbo Baggins holding the One Ring while looking at it contemplatively, overlaid with the text "After all.... Why not?". The bottom panel edits Bilbo's face to be replaced with the face of the viral "Wednesday Frog" (the subject of the long-running "It is Wednesday, my dudes" meme), with accompanying text that finishes the joke: "Why shouldn't I tell my dudes it's Wednesday?". The meme plays on the relatable, absurd joke of celebrating Wednesdays (the middle of the work/school week) by referencing two well-known existing meme properties.

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The top panel shows a man in a black t-shirt and grey Nike baseball cap holding a baby in a front baby carrier, pretending to kiss the baby's head while holding a bottle of Crown Royal whiskey, with the header text 'Never Look Like An Alcoholic Again' implying he appears to be an innocent parent carrying his child. The bottom panel is a close-up reveal that the baby is actually a modified doll, with a hidden drinking cup built into its chest, and someone is pouring whiskey into this hidden cup. The joke is the absurd, satirical 'life hack' of disguising alcohol as a baby you are carrying to avoid appearing like you are drinking in public.

This 4-panel meme uses screenshots from the 1999 adventure film *The Mummy*. In the first panel, the character Evy (played by Rachel Weisz) lies on sandy ground talking to Rick O'Connell, saying 'Back in my day we listened to music on CDs'. The second panel shows a confused Rick (played by Brendan Fraser) asking 'What are CDs?'. In the third panel, Evy delivers a crude pun: 'CDs nuts Ha gottem', which is a play on the popular internet 'deez nuts' joke, where 'CDs' sounds like 'see deez'. The fourth and final panel shows Evy immediately passing out/dying, as a punchline to the excessively corny and low-effort joke.

This meme consists of two images of a strawberry that has had all of its red seeded outer skin shaved off, leaving a pale white fruit, placed on a cutting board next to a knife covered in red strawberry shavings, with red juice spread on the board that makes the scene look like a violent crime scene at first glance. The top text asks if viewers ever get bored enough to shave a strawberry, and a reply from Twitter user Gilbert @AbakpaJob below reads 'I know you kill people', jokingly implying that anyone who would perform this weird, unnecessarily violent-looking act on a fruit is likely capable of harming other people, making the original poster a clear red flag.

This meme features a screenshot of a social media news post from British tabloid The Mirror, alongside a photo of the male subject of the story. The man, who recently underwent laser eye surgery, wears an eyepatch under his glasses, smirks at the camera, and rests his finger on his chin in a smug, amused expression. The accompanying news text explains that a rare side effect of his surgery left him hallucinating women with large, 'Baywatch-style' breasts for 10 days after the procedure. The humor comes from the contrast between the typical negative side effects patients are warned of before surgery, and this surprisingly desirable, absurd side effect.

The image is shot from a first-person perspective inside a supermarket, where a person's hand holds up a glass jar of instant coffee toward the camera. The jar's label has been digitally edited as a comedic hybrid of Nescafe instant coffee and Monster Energy drink branding: it displays the standard Nescafe logo alongside Monster Energy's iconic neon green claw mark logo, signature black and neon green smoky background, 'MONSTER ENERGY' text below the Nescafe name, and the regular Nescafe descriptor 'RICH & BOLD INSTANT COFFEE' at the bottom of the label. The background shows supermarket shelves lined with unmodified regular Nescafe coffee products with visible price tags. The joke relies on the common reputation of both Nescafe coffee and Monster Energy as high-caffeine products, implying that combining the two would create an extremely potent caffeinated product that drastically boosts productivity, with the humorous accompanying implication that unpleasantly strong negative side effects are guaranteed but unspecified.

Productivity unlocked. Side effects pending.

This image is a screenshot of a public post from the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The post is authored by user MoWonder (@Polandpilled), with the accompanying text 'i wonder what. that could be ,'. Below the text is a 3x3 grid of X's native media spoiler tiles: five of the nine tiles are greyed out and marked with black 'SPOILER' overlay buttons, while the four visible center tiles combine to show an extreme close-up of an orange tabby cat's face, focused on its pink nose and half-visible eyes. The humor comes from the contrast between the teasing text and spoiler framing suggesting a surprising reveal, and the mundane, silly payoff of a very close cat face.

This is an absurd visual pun meme. The artwork depicts a narrow strait between two rocky coastlines, entirely filled with cooked baked beans in sauce instead of water. Multiple large and small cargo ships travel through the bean-filled strait, all emblazoned with the Hormel food brand logo, and loaded with Hormel branded shipping containers. At the top of the image, text reads "STRAIT OF Hormel", styled to match Hormel's official brand logo. The entire joke relies on the phonetic similarity between the real-world strategically important shipping lane "Strait of Hormuz" and the food brand "Hormel", paired with the visual gag of the strait being made of a popular Hormel food product (baked beans).

This is a two-panel reaction meme centered around a homophone pun. The top text shows a hypothetical exchange: Donald Trump asks Apple's voice assistant Siri to tell him how many miles he ran that day. Siri misinterprets the phrase 'I ran' as the country name 'Iran', and responds that it is sending missiles to Iran. The first panel shows a calm, focused Donald Trump using his phone, while the second panel shows him looking shocked and distressed at the unintended dangerous order. The joke references tense US-Iran relations during the Trump presidency, when military conflict between the two nations was a widely discussed public concern.

It’s been a long weekend for sure!
