This is a screenshot of a viral social media post from the official Burlington Public Library account, paired with a photo of two people in costume (one dressed as a ninja, one dressed as Tinkerbell) posed mid-fight inside the library between bookshelves. The post is an official public apology to library patrons for the unexpected fight that occurred in the library's 'Library of Things' area, noting that the situation has been resolved and thanking patrons for their understanding. The humor comes from the absurdity of a random costumed fight breaking out in a quiet public library, resulting in a formal official apology.

This is a side-by-side comparison meme that jokes about NVIDIA's DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology. The left panel shows the original lower-resolution photograph of climate activist Greta Thunberg being escorted by police during a protest, labeled 'DLSS 5 OFF'. The right panel is an absurdly altered AI-edited version labeled 'DLSS 5 ON' that completely changes Greta's appearance, turning her into a masculine-looking person with exaggerated features. The joke mocks how new AI upscaling can drastically alter original image content instead of just improving resolution, while also poking fun at NVIDIA's reputation for extremely high pricing on new graphics cards.

This meme combines a text joke at the top with a pre-existing surreal absurd painting to illustrate the feeling of using the silly gender-neutral greeting 'Fellow Sperm Cells' instead of the traditional 'Ladies and Gentlemen' to open a public speech. The painting depicts a chaotic, nonsensical scene: a hippopotamus standing in a pond with a raccoon riding its back, several Holstein cows standing on their hind legs on the shore shooting jets of milk that ignite into a massive fiery beam aimed directly at the hippo's rear, and a capybara pulling a small raft under the flame. The chaotic, absurd nature of the painting perfectly matches the chaotic, silly energy of using the ridiculous greeting instead of the standard one. The wordplay comes from replacing the standard gendered greeting with a term that refers to all audience members as fellow former sperm cells, which is a humorous joke about moving away from traditional gendered greetings in an absurd way.

This two-panel edited humor meme jokes about Disney's upcoming live-action remakes of *Snow White* and *Moana*. The top panel edits leaked promotional imagery of Rachel Zegler as live-action Snow White, swapping Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's face onto her body, while the bottom panel edits Dwayne Johnson's image as Maui from the upcoming live-action *Moana*, swapping Rachel Zegler's face onto his body. The top text reads 'Disney really needs to work on their wig design' paired with a skull emoji, tricking viewers into thinking the swapped faces are just poorly designed wigs for a wrong-casting joke, playing into existing online criticism and jokes about Disney's live-action remake character designs.

This meme image shows Chuck Norris standing at a podium speaking at a funeral, holding notes in front of a microphone. In front of him is an American flag-draped casket, and behind the casket a framed funeral portrait of Chuck Norris himself is displayed surrounded by funeral flowers. The absurd situation of Chuck Norris giving a eulogy at his own funeral is the punchline, playing on the popular internet "Chuck Norris facts" trope that exaggerates his immortality and invincibility. The image is a screenshot of a social media post, with Instagram-style engagement metrics visible on the right side.

This meme features a photograph of a large natural wasp/hornet nest hanging from a tree in a suburban residential neighborhood, with overlaid text promoting an absurd, parody conspiracy theory. The text claims that common wasp nests are actually docking ports for CIA surveillance drones that spy on multiple countries, and instructs readers to knock the nests down. The joke satirizes the trend of ridiculous unfounded conspiracy theories that frame ordinary natural objects as secret government surveillance tools.

This meme features a press event photograph of influencer and professional boxer Jake Paul with overlaid bold text that reads "BREAKING NEWS: JAKE PAUL TO FIGHT CHUCK NORRIS". The meme's title "I think he might have a shot" is an ironic joke that plays on the decades-long internet meme trope that Chuck Norris is an unbeatable, superhuman martial artist; the implied joke is that Jake Paul actually has zero chance against the iconic Chuck Norris, making the title a sarcastic punchline.

This is a joke meme following the popular Chuck Norris meme trope that frames Chuck Norris as impossibly powerful and tough. The image features a still of Chuck Norris from his TV show *Walker, Texas Ranger*, holding an assault rifle with a stern, serious expression. Text at the top of the image reads "THE GRIM REAPER DIED", and text at the bottom reads "CHUCK NORRIS IS TAKING OVER". The joke plays on the exaggerated meme trope that Chuck Norris is so powerful he defeated death itself, killing the Grim Reaper (the personification of death) and taking over his job.

This meme features a screenshot of the Wikipedia entry for the real 2016 British experimental film *Paint Drying*, with large added text at the top that reads 'IMAGINE WATCHING THIS MOVIE IN THE CINEMA'. The Wikipedia entry explains the film is a 10 hour and 7 minute long movie consisting only of footage of paint drying on a wall, created as a protest to force the British film classification board to watch the entire runtime to issue a rating. The joke plays on how incredibly boring and absurd it would be to sit through this extremely long, almost entirely uneventful film in a cinema, which aligns with the common relatable joke about wasting huge amounts of time on mind-numbingly boring content when you are bored.

This image is a side-by-side comparison meme satirizing the evolution of video game graphics and the modern trend of prioritizing cutting-edge ray tracing (RTX) graphics over frame rate. The left panel, dated 2003, shows a crudely hand-drawn low-fidelity game scene: it runs at 300 FPS with RTX turned off, and features a pink crude character named 'Dickface' holding a club, standing above two ponds that reflect the character, with a grassy hill, mountains, and a smiling sun in the background, matching the layout of the right panel exactly. The right panel, dated 2026, is a photorealistic 3D rendering of the exact same crude scene, with RTX turned on, only 15 FPS, and lists dozens of modern graphics effect names (including joke names like 'Gayworks' and 'LMAO' that parody real graphics tech terms). The joke pokes fun at how modern AAA games now prioritize hyper-realistic advanced graphics that tank frame rates, even turning a simple MS-Paint doodle into a technically impressive but low-performance scene.

This is a dark humor meme that pairs text describing a kid with Down syndrome who was told he has superpowers and is ready to confront an active school shooter with the iconic intimidating scene of Godzilla emerging from misty ocean water. The imposing, menacing silhouette of Godzilla charging forward is used to visually represent the kid's naive, fearless bravery in the dangerous situation, creating an absurd, dark joke that plays on the contrast between the innocent premise and the terrifying scenario.

This meme uses a visual pun for humor. The top text sets up an absurd scenario: *When you and your friends survive a bear attack and celebrate with ice cream*. The image shows three young women walking along a waterfront promenade eating ice cream cones, all wearing heavily ripped skinny jeans, a popular modern fashion trend. The joke is that the large rips and tears in their jeans look exactly like claw damage from a bear attack, which perfectly matches the silly scenario the caption creates, playing on the fashion trend for comedic effect.
