This meme features the Muppet character Pepe the King Prawn with an exhausted, weary, fed up expression, paired with overlaid text that reads "Me seeing an AI ad from a corporation that has billions in profit". It conveys relatable frustration and irritation at large, highly profitable corporations pushing constant AI advertising to consumers despite already earning massive annual profits, using the popular "I'm tired boss" meme format that communicates general burnout and weariness.

This is a single panel meme consisting of text placed above a screenshot of the character Mariano Guzmán from Disney's animated film Encanto, who has a strained, pushy, slightly desperate facial expression while facing another character off-screen. The first block of text outlines anti-consumer practices from video game publisher Rockstar Games: releasing a 30fps, digital-only single player game with multiple paywalls, no PC launch, alongside anti-consumer policies and recent mass company layoffs. The second text block mocks corporate apologists who defend these practices, claiming piracy is the reason for the delayed or missing PC release and telling consumers to simply purchase a console to play the game. Mariano's expression is used to represent the out-of-touch, entitled tone of these corporate defenders pushing consumers to accept exploitative company policies.

This is a two-panel satirical comparison meme. The left panel is labeled 'How they used to extort us', showing a frightened man holding his hands up in surrender as another person points a gun at him across a table with stacks of cash visible, representing traditional violent armed robbery. The right panel is labeled 'How they extort us now', followed by a list of common extra charges: Transaction fee: $9.99, Convenience fee: $5.99, Admin fee: $3.00, Service fee: $8.50. The meme draws a humorous, critical parallel between old-fashioned violent extortion and the modern widespread practice of businesses adding numerous untransparent, mandatory extra fees to purchases that consumers have no meaningful way to avoid.
