This is a split-collage comparison meme. The left panel shows public figure Andrew Tate, a bald man wearing sunglasses, multiple silver necklaces, an unbuttoned deep purple collared shirt, dark cropped trousers, and black loafers, standing outdoors with his hands behind his back. The right panel shows a female fashion model posing for a retail clothing advertisement, wearing an almost identical outfit: a purple collared shirt, dark cropped trousers, and black loafers, with text noting the top costs £17 and the pants cost £12 from a budget retailer. The header text at the top of the meme asks 'WHO WORE IT BETTER', creating a humorous joke playing on the absurdity of the celebrity's presumably high-end, expensive outfit being nearly indistinguishable from a very low-cost fast fashion alternative, inviting viewers to vote on who pulls off the look better.

Who wore it better?

This meme answers its title question by presenting a layered vulgar, absurd joke. The top text states: "Whenever Trump appears on TV in Japan, their pornography censoring AI automatically pixelates his neck". The two top images are photographs of former US president Donald Trump, with his neck region pixelated, implying the AI mistakes the folds of skin on his neck for male genitalia that it is trained to censor. The bottom image is an edited photograph of actor Hugh Jackman, where his neck has been photoshopped to explicitly resemble a pair of testicles, meaning the same censorship AI would definitely censor his neck as well, amplifying the original joke to make it even more humorous and lewd.

Why is Hugh Jackman's neck making this meme worse?

This meme features a satirical text caption placed above a still of the villain Skeletor from the 2024 *Masters of the Universe* film. The top caption reads: 'Who knew all it took for Jared Leto to perform well was to cover his entire body and face with makeup and CGI, and add a voice changer'. The joke mocks the widely noted contrast between Jared Leto's heavily criticized past acting roles (such as his portrayal of the Joker in *Suicide Squad*) and the positive reception of his performance as Skeletor, where he is completely unrecognizable under heavy makeup, CGI effects, and a modified voice, making his work in this role far better received by audiences than performances where his actual face and unmodified delivery are visible. The underlying image shows Skeletor, a hooded skeletal villain with glowing red eyes, holding an ornate staff topped with a curved ram horn and glowing green gem, standing against a warm fiery orange lit background.

The meme presents a side-by-side comparison of famous horror author Stephen King, playing on the double meaning of "the 70s". The left panel is labeled "Stephen King in the 70s", showing a photograph of a young, long-haired, bearded King from the 1970s decade with a wide, wild-eyed, unsettling grin. The right panel is labeled "Stephen King in his 70s", showing a contemporary photograph of King when he is over 70 years old, with gray hair and glasses, sporting a knowing, similarly uncanny smirk. The title jokes that his consistently eerie vibe makes it unsurprising he wrote the horror novel *It*, which has a famously strange and divisive ending.

not surprised he wrote the original 'it' book with that ending

This meme presents an absurd, factually reversed joke about the association between Michael Jordan and Air Jordan sneakers. At the top, text reads 'bro’s parents named him after a shoe' paired with a skull emoji, followed by a profile snippet identifying Michael Jordan as a retired American basketball player and businessman. The collage includes two photographs of Jordan: one of him mid-dunk in a Chicago Bulls #23 jersey, and another of him holding a basketball facing the viewer. A red arrow points from Jordan's profile to an overlaid circled image of a red, white, and black Air Jordan 1 sneaker. The humor stems from the deliberate reversal of widely known context: Air Jordan shoes are famously named after Michael Jordan, not the other way around as the meme claims.

This is a three-part comparison meme joking about actor range in Hollywood. The first panel shows two very distinct Johnny Depp roles, Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, paired with text saying people are shocked the two characters are played by the same actor. The second panel shows three photos of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in different movie roles where he looks nearly identical, paired with a mock quote from The Rock questioning how other actors play different people, mocking how he often portrays very similar characters across his filmography. The third panel shows four entirely unrecognizable characters all played by Eddie Murphy in a single comedy film, with text pointing out Murphy's skill at playing multiple vastly different roles in one production is far more impressive than the first two examples.

This is a single panel edited meme of a crudely drawn party scene. On the left, a man standing alone against a wall with a small party hat has a photograph of a heavier version of rapper Eminem edited onto his head, with overlay text reading 'They don't know that I'm Eminem'. On the right, two dancing party guests converse: the male guest asks if the man alone is Eminem, and the female guest responds that it cannot be him because 'Eminem ain't fat'. The joke references widely circulated real photos of Eminem from a period when he gained weight, playing on the public's common perception of Eminem as slim, so the party guests do not recognize his heavier appearance while he is aware of his own identity.

This meme displays a screenshot of John Lennon's public artist knowledge panel, likely pulled from a Google search result. The panel lists his birth details, his assassination date of December 8, 1980, and lists the location of his death as 'John Lennon Murder Site'. A red circle and arrow point to a duplicate instance of this location label further down the panel. An overlaid text sticker reads 'IS HE STUPID WHY WOULD YOU GO THERE'. The sarcastic joke plays on the absurdity of the location name: it acts as if the site was named 'John Lennon Murder Site' before Lennon visited it, implying Lennon foolishly chose to go to a location explicitly labeled as the place he would be murdered, ignoring the fact that the location was given that name *after* his assassination.

Why would you though?

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The left panel shows Bryce Dallas Howard as her character Claire Dearing from an official Jurassic World promotional poster, standing in profile with a digitally slimmed lower body. The right panel shows a real red carpet photograph of Bryce Dallas Howard wearing a form-fitting blue dress, standing in profile to show her naturally curvier, larger rear end. The top text jokes that her butt was so large the studio had to Photoshop it smaller for the Jurassic World poster, while the original 9Gag title makes an additional silly pun comparing her rear end to the large, bulky armored Ankylosaurus dinosaur that appears in the Jurassic Park film franchise.

Nice Ankylosaurus you got there

This is a two-panel homophone pun meme. The top panel displays an unedited portrait of Hugh Hefner, the famous founder of Playboy Enterprises, wearing his signature red silk smoking jacket with the iconic Playboy bunny logo visible in the background, captioned 'Hugh Hefner'. The bottom panel shows the same portrait edited to shift all color hues by +100, as demonstrated by the overlaid photo editing hue adjustment interface, resulting in blue skin, pink hair, a bright green jacket, and a neon green Playboy bunny. This edited version is captioned 'Hue Hefner', playing on the fact that 'Hugh' (the subject's first name) is a perfect homophone for 'hue', the color adjustment parameter used to alter the image.

This is a two-panel comparison meme featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The top text lists an extremely intense daily workout routine: 150 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 30 km of running. The left panel shows a younger Dwayne Johnson with a full head of hair, smiling and posing casually. The right panel shows the more recent, significantly more muscular, bald Dwayne Johnson with a serious expression on a film set. The bottom punchline text reads "and ended up losing hair!". The joke references the popular plot point from the anime *One Punch Man*, where protagonist Saitama follows this exact workout routine to gain super strength, but loses all his hair as an unintended side effect, drawing a funny parallel to Dwayne Johnson's transformation over his career.
