This meme jokes about Portugal being overlooked when Portuguese language options are listed. The top portion mimics a language selection interface, listing English paired with the US flag, Spanish paired with the Mexican flag, and Portuguese paired with the Brazilian flag. The bottom portion shows the flags of the UK (origin of English), Spain (origin of Spanish), and Portugal (origin of Portuguese) next to the label "REACTION:", followed by a shot of Patrick Bateman from *American Psycho* looking unimpressed and disappointed, representing Portugal's annoyance at being sidelined in favor of Brazil when representing the Portuguese language, leading to the meme's core joke of asking viewers to "press F to pay respects" to Portugal.

Press F for Portugal

This is a two-panel edited meme using the iconic 'First Time?' hanging scene from the 2018 film *The Ballad of Buster Scruggs*. The top panel shows a condemned man standing with a noose around his neck, his face covered by the national flag of Curaçao, appearing distressed at his impending execution. The bottom panel shows the second condemned man next to him, his face covered by the national flag of Brazil, asking the Curaçao-representing character 'FIRST TIME?'. The humorous implication is that Curaçao has just been eliminated from an international football tournament for the first time, while Brazil, a frequent participant that has been eliminated from many major tournaments over the years, is familiar with the disappointing experience.

I'm so sorry Curacao

This three-panel absurdist meme plays on the famously extremely long, narrow geographic shape of Chile, a country running along the western coast of South America. The first panel shows the actual current borders of Chile, labeled 'CHILE'. The second panel expands the country's long shape up the entire western coast of North America, labeled 'GREATER CHILE'. The third, punchline panel shows the completely exaggerated 'THE CHILEAN EMPIRE', which traces the entire full coastline of the Pacific Ocean, including the west coasts of North and South America, the east coasts of Asia and Oceania, and the coastlines of Australia and Pacific islands, stretching Chile's signature long narrow form to a ridiculous, global extreme. The joke leans into the common internet observation about Chile's unusual, elongated national shape.
