This meme responds to the common job interview question 'How do you perform under pressure?'. It features a real 2016 photograph taken mid-flight during the EgyptAir Flight 181 hijacking, showing British passenger Ben Innes grinning for a selfie next to hijacker Seif Eddin Mustafa, who was strapped with explosives at the time. Text overlaid on the photo explains the context of the image, followed by a mock social media comment showing a resume line that reads 'Works well under pressure' with the photo attached as supporting evidence. The joke relies on the absurd contrast between expected mild examples of performing under pressure in a work context and the extreme, life-threatening high-stakes scenario of remaining calm enough to take a selfie with an active plane hijacker.

This is a dark humor meme. The image shows the nose of a large commercial airplane positioned extremely close to the exterior of the Pentagon building, with bare trees visible in the background. White text at the top of the image reads: "Sorry pal, there is no third tower". The joke references the September 11, 2001 attacks: two hijacked planes struck the two World Trade Center towers in New York, while a third hijacked plane struck the Pentagon in Virginia. The punchline frames the line as the Pentagon speaking to the incoming plane, implying the plane was attempting to find a third World Trade Center tower and has arrived at the wrong location.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The top panel displays a large commercial airliner jet engine parked on an airport tarmac, with text noting its rotation speed is 8,000 rpm. The bottom panel shows a small high-speed dental handpiece (dental drill), with text revealing it operates at 400,000 rpm, 50 times faster than the jet engine. The punchline text advises patients not to move much during dental procedures, paired with the implied joke that even a small involuntary movement like a sneeze could result in serious harm from the extremely fast drill, playing on common public anxiety about dental visits.

This image is a screenshot of two consecutive X (formerly Twitter) posts about the perceived confident aura of pilots in airports. The first post, from user MK with handle @tonykitchenz, observes that pilots have a subtle, impressive aura when they walk past people in airports. The second post, from the account Uproarious React, shares a personal anecdote that supports this observation: the poster tried to let a pilot board an escalator first, and the pilot joked that he was in no hurry because the plane cannot depart without him. The meme leans into the common stereotype of pilots being calm, self-assured, and slightly cocky for humorous effect.
