This meme uses the popular Lisa Simpson presentation template from *The Simpsons* to deliver social commentary about intolerant religious groups. Lisa Simpson stands on stage in front of a projection screen with the core message: that some religions are so fragile they react with murderous rage to even the slightest criticism. This matches the original post's title 'They are peaceful, as long as you do exactly as they say', pointing out that these groups are only peaceful when people fully comply with their demands, and respond with extreme anger or violence to any questioning.

The primary focus is on the man in the foreground (Rowan Atkinson, known for playing Mr. Bean), who has a confused, slightly awkward expression, as if caught off guard. Above the image, there is a text overlay that reads: 'Average Expedition 33 hater when you ask if they played the game'.

A meme featuring a vintage-style illustration of a young man leaning over the open hood of a car, pointing at the engine. The image is styled as a book cover with large text at the top reading 'Everything I don't like is PERFORMATIVE' and a subtitle 'A BOOK FOR BASIC DICKHEADS'. The character has a speech bubble stating 'This engine IS PERFORMATIVE'.
