This meme combines an original official photograph of former United States President Donald Trump posing with Japanese politician Sanae Takaichi, where both are smiling and giving a thumbs up, overlaid with a screenshot of a verified X (Twitter) post. The post claims that during a live translated press conference, after Trump told a joke referencing Pearl Harbor, Japanese translators were shocked and paused for several seconds, unable to respond in disbelief. The joke is widely considered awkward and controversial because Pearl Harbor was the site of a major World War II Japanese attack on the United States, so making light of the event in front of Japanese officials creates an extremely uncomfortable situation.

This is a viral meme covering the real-life story of Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar. The main image shows Ricky from behind, wearing an orange prison uniform, raising a homemade prison weapon (a rock wrapped in netting inside a sock) over his shoulder inside a prison dining hall with other inmates blurred in the background. A circular inset headshot of Ricky is also included. The image displays a quote from Ricky after he killed 3 convicted child molesters in one day in prison, where he states he wanted to kill all child molesters so taxpayers no longer have to pay to house them, and that this action is him paying his debt to society, noting his original goal was to kill 13. The meme's title plays on widespread public sentiment that while Ricky is technically a convicted inmate (a 'bad guy'), many people view his actions against child predators as morally justified, hence the wording that he is a bad guy but not a BAD guy.

You are bad guy. But that doesn't mean you a BAD guy

The top section shows a post from user Kamatchu Kannan with the controversial, absurd text: 'The reason why you are poor is because you think of sex when it rains instead of farming' followed by farming-related emojis.

This image is a celebrity gossip post that uses a red carpet photo of NFL Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his former fiancée Jane Ramos, with a red zig-zag line drawn between them to symbolize the ended engagement. Overlaid text at the top reports that Prescott, who has an estimated net worth of $250 to 300 million, called off the wedding after Jane Ramos allegedly refused to sign a prenuptial agreement. The original 9Gag post uses this celebrity news to open a discussion about men's rights in divorce and claims that courts are biased against men in divorce cases.
