This is a 5-panel progressive reaction meme that uses the popular Vince McMahon reaction template. The meme features absurdist wordplay: the word "EMPTY" is progressively stripped of and rearranged as letters are removed across each panel, going from full "EMPTY" to "EMPT", then to "Mpty", and finally to "MT". Each step is paired with a more intense, over-the-top facial reaction from Vince McMahon, ending with him screaming in the final panel. The joke relies on the absurdity of "emptying" the word "EMPTY" itself, with the increasingly extreme reaction escalating the silly wordplay into humor.

This is a pun-based adult humor meme presented as a screenshot of a social media post. The top text sets up the joke: 'when you both nut at the same time' where 'nut' is internet slang for ejaculation. The image below shows a close-up of a wide-eyed tabby cat next to the yellow hammer and sickle symbol of communism, with the overlaid text '*Ourgasm'. The pun combines the sexual term 'orgasm' with the collective communist concept of 'our', creating 'Ourgasm' to joke about simultaneous mutual orgasm. The original title 'Commu-nutsm' adds an extra layer of pun, combining 'communism' and 'nut' for the joke.

This is an absurdist meme that jokes about the common internet habit of accepting terms and conditions for online apps without reading them. The joke claims that because the poster accepted Chinese low-cost shopping app Temu's terms of service without reading them, they are now obligated to fight on China's side in the Strait of Hormuz. The visual shows a giant woman emerging from a sinking small boat in open water, representing the overwhelming, absurd obligation the poster now has from the unread terms.

This is a four-panel web comic shared as a meme, originally posted on Reddit with the title asking 'Where is the star trek future?'. The comic opens with a simple pink human character sitting on a wooden dock over water. A talking lobster in the water approaches the character, asking if he wants to learn something new. The lobster then shares the upsetting real-world fact that there are more enslaved people in the world today than at any previous point in history. The pink character responds, looking tired and dejected, with the line 'Knowledge is the heaviest burden'. The meme's title connects this joke to the absence of the idealized utopian future that the Star Trek franchise depicts, pointing out that severe social evils like slavery still exist in modern times, making the promised utopia feel far out of reach. The joke hinges on the relatable feeling of learning a depressing truth that permanently weighs on your mind after you know it.

This is an edited comedic image of the full Moon set against a starry space background. The Moon has been digitally altered to add a deep vertical cleft running directly down its center, making the entire spherical Moon visually resemble human buttocks. The meme plays on popular conspiracy tropes that claim NASA hides the true appearance of the Moon's hidden far side from the public, turning the conspiracy premise into a silly, vulgar visual pun.

This meme is a collage of five panels showing images of actor Morgan Freeman labeled by different years, playing on the popular internet joke that Morgan Freeman never ages. The first panel labeled 1937 (Morgan Freeman's actual birth year) is an edited composite image of a baby's body with Morgan Freeman's adult head. The next three panels (1965, 2000, 2020) all show Morgan Freeman looking nearly identical, already older with gray hair and almost no visible change across these decades. The final punchline panel labeled 2099, 76 years in the future, still shows Morgan Freeman looking exactly the same as he does today, exaggerating the running joke that he does not age and will stay this way forever.

This is an absurdist optical illusion meme that places the face of rapper Snoop Dogg into every element of a painted natural landscape, with the top text teasing that more Snoop Dogg faces appear the longer you stare at the image. The sun in the sky is a giant Snoop Dogg head, the leaves of the tree hold multiple small Snoop Dogg heads, and the rolling green hills in the background form another large hidden Snoop Dogg face. The joke leans into the silly repetition of Snoop Dogg's face across the entire 'ecosystem' of the image.

This image is a photograph of a desktop computer screen showing an interactive map simulation of 450 meters of global sea level rise applied to the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula region. Most of the low-lying coastal land around the Strait of Hormuz is submerged by water, which results in the strait becoming completely unobstructed by surrounding land. The meme jokes that this extreme, catastrophic sea level rise is an absurd 'solution' to geopolitical tensions and blockades of the Strait of Hormuz. All place labels on the map are written in Arabic.

This is a single-panel absurdist political meme. The top text complains that modern politicians no longer carry out the will of the voting public, and only stare at the public with an unresponsive, nonsensical expression. The bottom text over the close-up image of an actor in historical uniform provides the absurd punchline 'I ATE A BABY', creating a shocking non-sequitur joke that emphasizes the common public perception that politicians are completely unhinged, out of touch, and say or do absurd things that do not represent public interests. The image shows a heavyset man in 18th century-style military uniform with a strained, pursed expression staring directly at the viewer.

This meme features a tiny, cute bright green transparent glass frog resting on the tip of a human fingertip. Large bold white text with black outlines at the top reads 'YOU ARE LOVED', while matching text at the bottom reads 'THIS IS A THREAT'. The joke comes from the contrast between the wholesome affectionate opening message, the cute harmless frog, and the unexpected threatening closing line, creating an ironic absurdist joke.

This is an edited absurdist meme featuring Elsa from Disney's *Frozen*. The original character art is modified to show Elsa raising one arm, holding a disposable blue razor against a hairy armpit, creating an ironic joke that contrasts the perfect, pristine public image of the ice queen with a mundane, relatable human body grooming task, subverting expectations for a clean, family-friendly animated Disney character.

This is a screenshot of a YouTube video featuring a real gray tabby cat with wide curious eyes looking up at the camera, sitting on a muddy concrete outdoor surface. The video's title text below the cat presents the absurdist joke: 'This Moscow cat said something to me, but I don't speak Russian', with additional metadata showing the uploader as Robin, 711K total views, and that the video was uploaded 11 months before this screenshot was taken. The humor comes from the silly, unexpected premise that a stray cat in Moscow spoke, and the uploader cannot understand the cat's supposed Russian speech.
