This two-panel comparison meme contrasts the popular comic media that children were exposed to in the 1980s in the US versus Europe. The left panel, captioned 'THIS IS WHAT KIDS IN THE US WERE RAISED ON', features a large group shot of dozens of iconic American superhero characters from 1980s Marvel and DC comic series, including X-Men, Avengers, and other associated heroic figures. The right panel, captioned 'THIS IS WHAT EUROPEAN KIDS WERE RAISED ON', shows a panel from the popular Franco-Belgian *Spirou et Fantasio* comic series, depicting the notoriously aggressive recurring character Madame Irma punching a man so hard he flies across the room, accompanied by the onomatopoeia 'PTAF!' for the impact sound. The humor comes from highlighting the stark cultural difference in mainstream children's comic content between the two regions during the 1980s: US comics focused heavily on superhero action, while popular European comics leaned more toward absurdist, slapstick comedy and everyday character stories.

A meme image featuring two Muslim women wearing headscarves (one in peach, the other in maroon with a gray head covering) in an indoor setting, possibly a home or interview space. At the top, Japanese text in a gold-bordered box reads '夜ふかし素人さん大賞好きな日本の食べ物' (translated: 'All-Nighter Amateur Awards: Favorite Japanese Food'). Below the women, a watermark 'f RYANBORZOO' is positioned at the bottom center. The lower portion contains bold red text: 'This Muslim woman living in Japan is very angry because Japanese food has 'a lot of pork':'. The scene suggests an interview or casual conversation, edited to highlight a perceived cultural conflict regarding dietary restrictions.

A three-panel meme. The top panel shows a pregnant Serbian wife and American husband sitting on a couch; the wife has her hand on her belly, and the husband holds a popcorn bowl and remote. Text labels read 'SERBIAN WIFE', 'AMERICAN HUSBAND', and 'WATCHING A SERBIAN MOVIE'. The bottom left panel is a cheerful animated character with a wide smile and the text 'AWW HOW CUTE OF HIM'. The bottom right panel is a creepy black-and-white face with intense eyes and a half-smile, accompanied by '...'. The meme humorously contrasts the wife's likely familiarity with the (potentially disturbing) Serbian movie against the husband's naive perception.
