This 6-panel meme uses the classic SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty Krab customer order format to satirize common character design tropes in miHoYo's gacha games and their fanbase preferences. The fish customer, representing gacha fans, orders a 500-year-old attractive witch character who takes the form of a girl no older than 13, a reference to recurring character types in miHoYo titles like Genshin Impact. Squidward, representing miHoYo, first responds sarcastically that the trope is unoriginal, then reacts with amused surprise to the underage appearance specification, noting the request is bold.

This is a two-panel collage meme. The top text reads 'Who's the animator at pixar giving these toys human like body proportions'. The left panel features a still of Bo Peep from Pixar's Toy Story franchise, viewed from behind, highlighting her exaggerated, curvy human-like waist and hip proportions that do not match typical real plastic toy designs. The right panel shows a still of Woody from Toy Story with an awkward, confused, almost judgmental expression, sitting with one hand on his hip as if reacting to the odd character design choice. The humor comes from pointing out the unrealistic, noticeably humanoid body proportions given to the toy characters by Pixar animators.

This meme is a screenshot of a Twitter/X post from verified user The ArchCast. The post text reads 'tens of millions or dollars spent. To make your main character look worse then your voice actor...' (containing minor typos: 'or' instead of 'of', 'then' instead of 'than'). Below the text are two side-by-side images: the left image shows the 3D rendered character Sif from the AAA video game God of War Ragnarok, who has messy, unkempt hair, a tired shocked expression, and wears worn, tattered clothing. The right image shows a portrait of Deborah Ann Woll, the real-life voice actor who plays Sif, who is smiling, has neat styled hair, and is conventionally attractive. The joke mocks the perceived design choice for the high-budget game character, pointing out that the voice actor is significantly more attractive than the character model she voices, despite the huge production budget spent on the game.

This is a 2x2 comparison meme that contrasts popular, commercially successful video game character designs with poorly received, unpopular designs called flops. The left half under the heading *CHARACTER DESIGN THAT SELLS* features two conventionally attractive, well-liked character designs (one female, one male). The right half under *CHARACTER DESIGN THAT FLOPS* features two recent controversial character designs: Rook from Dragon Age: The Veilguard (top right) and a heavily criticized re-design of Wattson from Apex Legends (bottom right). The meme argues that game developers often unfairly blame gamers for the failure of bad character designs, when the contrast in quality and appeal between successful and flop designs is obvious.

A two-panel comparison meme featuring character designs from Disney and DreamWorks animated movies. The left panel shows a detailed, realistic drawing of a handsome male head with soft features, labeled 'Every male protagonist in a animated Disney/dream works movie:'. The right panel shows a stylized, exaggerated cartoon character with a prominent nose and expressive lines, labeled 'Everyone else:'. The meme humorously highlights the contrast between the typically realistic, conventional attractiveness of male protagonists versus the more diverse, exaggerated designs of other characters.
