This is a two-panel anime meme using footage from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. In the top panel, character Shinji Ikari smiles as he reaches to adjust Mari Makinami Illustrious's red glasses, with overlaid text attributed to him reading 'Thank you for restoring my mental health'. In the bottom panel, Mari leans extremely close to a visibly surprised Shinji, with her line of text reading 'I literally just showed you my massive, huge honkers'. The joke is a lewd subversion of common mental health discourse, framing the act of a woman showing her large breasts as an improbably effective cure for poor mental health, leaning into widespread crude internet humor tropes.

These therapy methods are… quite effective

This is a text-over-image meme playing on a common cultural stereotype about German people. It uses a screenshot of Senshi, the dwarf chef character from the anime *Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi)*, who is depicted as wide-eyed, blushing, and extremely overexcited. The top setup text reads 'NO ONE: GERMANS:', implying no prompting is required for Germans to express their love of bread. The subtitle below the character shows him enthusiastically yelling 'Bread! Bread! Bread! Bread!', framing the joke that German people are unprompted and intensely passionate about bread as a core staple of their cuisine.

This is a two-panel meme that uses a scene from the anime *Sword Art Online* to create a relatable joke. The top panel shows three characters (an adult man, an adult woman, and a young girl) standing holding hands in shallow ocean water, all partially submerged. The bottom panel crops the image to cut the adult man entirely out of frame, leaving only the young girl still holding the woman's hand, looking completely unbothered. The text paired with the image plays on this framing to joke that even when life tries to eliminate you, you can still stay relaxed and keep chilling.

This is an animated gaming meme that uses a fight sequence from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen to joke about recovering a stolen Steam account. Every segment of the animation displays the text 'Steam employees getting my account back from the Russian hacker'. The sequence shows the two heroes Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami working together to progressively beat down the villain Mahito, who represents the Russian hacker that stole the user's Steam account. The joke plays on the common stereotype of Russian hackers stealing Steam accounts, and celebrates effective Steam customer support that successfully recovers stolen accounts, framing the support team as overpowering the hacker.

This is a funny perspective optical illusion photo taken inside a messy bedroom. An orange cat sits on an unmade bed with its back to the camera, facing a wall where an anime poster of Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion is hung. From the camera's angle, the poster lines up perfectly to look like the cat has an anime girl's head, creating a silly unexpected visual joke. The room also features a wooden glass-paned door and light blue walls.

Breath taking scene

This meme jokes about modern inflation and rising gas prices, referencing Bryan Adams' famous song *Summer of '69*. It features the teasing anime character Takagi from *Teasing Master Takagi-san* smiling at the viewer in a classroom. Large overlaid text reads 'REMINDER THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON' at the top, and 'AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK' at the bottom. An inset screenshot of an old gas station price menu shows full-service gas ranging from $0.54 9/10 to $0.79 9/10 per gallon, an incredibly low price compared to modern costs. The wordplay ties the '69 song reference to the low vintage prices, teasing viewers that they can never get these cheap gas prices again.

This is a single-panel meme that opens with text explaining that a friend's WiFi password is 16092011, which does not match his stated birthday of 10/08/2000. Below the text is a cropped image of Light Yagami from the anime *Death Note* with a serious, knowing expression, a popular meme format to indicate that the viewer has uncovered an unexpected secret or implication: the password is for a different important date the friend prioritizes over his own birthday, creating a humorous, suggestive joke.

This is a viral side-by-side comparison meme from the popular 'DLSS 5 On' trend. The left panel shows an original 2D anime-style illustration of the character Frieren from *Frieren: Beyond Journey's End*, labeled 'DLSS 5 Off'. The right panel shows an altered, hyper-realistic AI-generated version of the exact same character and composition, labeled 'DLSS 5 On'. The AI version renders Frieren with realistic skin texture, makes her appear significantly older with visible neck wrinkles, and creates an uncanny valley effect, satirizing the tendency of Nvidia's newly announced DLSS 5 generative AI graphics technology to drastically alter original artwork into over-polished, unsettling 'AI slop'. The image is a screenshot of a post from X (Twitter) by verified user Jaid.

This meme creates a humorous visual joke based on a real news report about the Japanese adult video industry. The headline states that the industry is facing a severe shortage of male performers, with the statistic that there are only around 70 active male performers for roughly 10,000 female actresses. Below the headline, a harem anime/visual novel artwork is used, where exactly one male character is surrounded by dozens of female characters in matching school uniforms, visually mirroring the real-world statistic. A circular headshot of a real man (the meme poster) is added to the bottom left, and the original title 'I have found my calling' implies the poster is volunteering to fill the open need for male performers, playing on the popular harem anime trope of one man being surrounded by many women.

This meme humorously exaggerates the real gradual change of Crayon Shin-chan's official art style across decades. Starting with the 1992 to 2015 versions, Shin-chan's running figure gets progressively more stretched and distorted in each subsequent future decade, until the final entry for 2242 where his entire body becomes the curved shape of the trigonometric function graph y = -sin x. The joke plays on the title phrase, implying that studying or exposure to trigonometry warps the character into the sine curve shape.

This meme uses two animated characters from the anime *Attack on Titan* to humorously exaggerate a common, relatable real-life experience. The top character (a Titan-like figure) is depicted falling backward mid-air, contorted in a way that mimics an ankle giving out, with the caption: *One of my ankles randomly folding.* The bottom character, Pieck Finger from *Attack on Titan*, is shown on her hands and knees on plain flat ground, with a shocked, distressed expression, paired with the caption: *Me walking on a normal, flat ground.* The joke centers on the absurd but familiar awkward moment where a person's ankle suddenly collapses for no obvious reason while walking on stable terrain, turning a minor embarrassing mishap into an over-the-top visual gag that resonates with anyone who has experienced this random bodily clumsiness.
