This is a two-panel humor meme. Text at the top displays a short conversation: a client asks a painter if they know how to draw a horse, and the painter confidently replies yes. The first panel shows a full view of an old classical-style painting of a robed man riding a pale horse. The second panel is a close-up of the horse's face from the same painting, which is very poorly rendered with uncanny wide human-like eyes, a misshapen snout, and a generally unrealistic, unhorse-like appearance. The joke comes from the contrast between the painter's confident answer and the extremely low quality of the horse they produced.

This photograph features a white marble bust of the classical Greco-Roman figure Laocoön, identifiable by his signature curly hair, full beard, and iconic anguished, tilted-head expression with his mouth open as if crying out. Two arms belonging to an off-frame person wearing a light blue shirt are extended to squeeze and prod the pectoral muscles of the statue. In the background, a woman with light brown hair in a pink lace dress stands facing away from the camera next to a wooden door and grey painted interior walls. A small packaged food product is visible on a surface at the bottom right of the frame. The image functions as a meme due to the humorous juxtaposition: the statue's existing over-the-top pained expression appears to be a direct, exaggerated reaction to the irreverent, inappropriate act of touching the classical artwork. There is no overlaid text on the image.

The image is a modified classical religious painting depicting Jesus walking on stormy water towards a boat carrying his disciples. The disciples, positioned in the boat, have a text bubble reading 'Excuse me Jesus, you're in the way'. Jesus, standing on the water, responds with 'Fuck you, I am the way', referencing the biblical quote from John 14:6 where Jesus states 'I am the way, the truth, and the life'. The humor arises from the pun on the phrase 'in the way' (blocking the path) versus Jesus' declaration 'I am the way'.
