This meme is a two-panel collage. The top panel shows a verified public tweet posted by the official Netflix account on March 10, 2017, which reads 'Love is sharing a password.' The bottom panel uses a reaction shot of the character John Diggle from the live-action TV series Arrow, with a subtitle that says 'Obviously, this particular comment didn't age too well.' The meme jokes about the extreme irony of Netflix's 2017 message, as the streaming service later rolled out strict policies cracking down on password sharing between non-household members, contradicting their earlier casual, friendly stance on the practice.

This is a 4-panel progressive meme that uses the clown makeup application format to criticize Sony's shifting stance on physical media. Each panel matches a step of clown costume application with a milestone in Sony's history related to physical media: the first panel shows the start of face painting paired with text noting Sony co-invented Blu-ray to advance physical media. The second panel shows clown eye and lip makeup being applied, paired with text stating Sony mocked Xbox for disallowing physical game sharing. The third panel shows the subject putting on a rainbow clown wig, paired with text revealing the PS5 Pro is digital-only by default with a separately sold disc drive. The final panel shows the fully costumed clown, paired with text stating Sony will end all physical media support for PlayStation consoles by 2028. The meme frames Sony as a hypocrite that abandoned the physical media ecosystem it once championed, turning into a 'clown' for its contradictory decisions.

This meme mocks the well-documented hypocrisy of insurance companies by contrasting their marketing messaging with their real-world behavior when customers file claims. The top overlaid text explains that insurance company advertisements commonly promise customers security and peace of mind to get them to purchase policies. The visual uses an iconic scene from the 1999 film *The Matrix*, where the character Neo sits at a table during an interrogation and flips his middle finger at the agents speaking to him, paired with bottom text that reads "How about I give you the finger?" This visual represents how uncooperative, dismissive, and hostile insurance companies often act when paying out claims is required, going directly against the promises they make in their marketing.

This is a 3-panel satirical webcomic set in a corporate office meeting. In the first panel, a male boss leans on the conference table telling his team that lunch is unpaid because that time is fully the employee's own to use. In the second panel, two employees agree positively, saying 'Cool' and 'Sounds great', before a third casual male employee asks a logical follow-up question: if lunch time is his own, can he take his lunch at the end of the work day to leave half an hour early. In the final panel, the boss is shown furious, and the employee who asked the question is thrown out of the office building's window, highlighting the blatant hypocrisy of the employer's claim that unpaid lunch time is truly freely usable by employees. The joke pokes fun at corporate double standards where companies only frame unpaid time as 'yours' when it benefits them, but refuse to let employees use that time as they choose.

This meme features a photograph of a tearful real man crying while looking directly at the camera, with his hand resting over his mouth. Large text at the top reads 'HOW I LOOK AFTER MAKING THE HARDEST DECISION OF MY LIFE', and text at the bottom reads 'I LAID OFF A 10000 EMPLOYEES TO INCREASE COMPANY PROFIT BY 0.001%'. The meme satirizes the common performative sadness from corporate CEOs when they carry out mass layoffs: the joke highlights that companies will fire thousands of workers just to get an infinitesimally small increase in profit, while CEOs publicly act like the difficult decision was a heartbreaking burden for them personally.
