This meme uses a red carpet photograph of singer Katy Perry, who is wearing an orange embellished cutout dress and smiling while posing in front of an American Idol/ABC event backdrop. The top text uses the famous lyric from Katy Perry's hit debut single 'I Kissed a Girl': 'I kissed a girl and i liked it'. The bottom text delivers a shocking, darkly humorous twist, stating 'But she didnt and sued me for sexual assault', subverting the playful, consensual tone of the original song lyric for comedic shock value.

This meme features a photograph of a Nike outdoor billboard at the top, which displays a female basketball player holding a basketball alongside the logically flawed, empty motivational slogan: "YOU CAN'T WIN. SO WIN.", referencing Nike's famous "Just Do It" brand ethos. Below the billboard are three sequential social media comments that mock the absurd, unhelpful circular logic of the billboard's tagline: the first comment reads "if you're suffocating, just breathe.", the second reads "if you're dead, just live.", and the third reads "If the operation have 50% success rate, just do it twices". The meme extends this pattern of useless, impractical advice to its original title punchline, leaning into the same flawed logic for dark, shock humor value.

This meme is a screenshot of a short user-uploaded video with added top text for comedic effect. The video clip shows a young boy wearing wired earbuds, sitting in front of a wooden display cabinet, appearing to be recording himself performing rap. The video's original title below the clip reads "Day 2 of raping eminem", which is an obvious typo where the creator intended to write "rapping". The added top text plays on the accidental horrific implication of the misspelled word, saying "I hope Eminem gets free before day 3" as if the boy is holding Eminem captive and assaulting him. The original video has 763k views, was uploaded by user Luk Ren 5 years before the screenshot was taken, and has a 0:16 timestamp visible on the video player.

This is a two-panel meme. The upper panel depicts a wild grey heron in mid-flight against a plain overcast grey sky, with a long, slender eel protruding vertically out of the heron's chest/neck area, having burrowed out of the heron's digestive tract after being caught and eaten. The lower panel is a zoomed-in close-up of the heron's face, which has a wide-eyed, alarmed, shocked expression, with the bold white English expletive text 'Fuck' overlaid at the bottom of the panel to represent the heron's frustrated, surprised reaction to the unusual situation.

This is an edgy dark humor meme. The image is a news still shot in a supermarket parking lot, showing an angry red-haired woman in a purple tank top gesturing aggressively towards a young child who is sitting in a supermarket shopping cart facing away from the camera. Overlaid on the bottom of the image is large white text stating a news headline: 'WOMAN SHOT DEAD AFTER ATTACKING CHILD IN SHOPPING CART WITH KNIFE OUTSIDE SUPERMARKET'. The joke comes from the original 9Gag post title 'Kid was surely annoying', which sarcastically implies that the child's bad public behavior justified the woman's violent knife attack, making a shocking dark joke out of a serious real-world violent crime incident. A 'LAD BIBLE AUSTRALIA' watermark is visible in the top right corner of the image.

This is an edited DC comic meme structured as a vertical split panel. The left half is labeled 'Someone to talk to', showing a supportive well-dressed man placing a hand on the shoulder of the central distressed character, with a speech bubble saying 'I'M HERE FOR YOU'. The right half is labeled 'Porn', showing the DC supervillain Owlman placing his hand on the other shoulder of the same central character, who is labeled 'Me having a bad day' and is depicted as crying on his left half and bruised on his right half. The joke uses dark relatable humor to depict the common tendency for people to choose instant distracting coping mechanisms like porn over seeking emotional support from others when experiencing a bad day.

This meme presents a crude dark humor joke setup: text at the top states 'Armless dude walks into a hospital to donate sperm', followed by 'Doctor:' above a reaction image of a distorted, uncanny valley 3D cartoon man with wide eyes and a grimacing, uncomfortable expression. The implied punchline is that an armless person would be unable to manually produce a sperm donation sample, leading to the doctor's shocked, awkward, and confused reaction. The original title of the meme 'Look who came empty handed' is a double pun: 'came' refers both to arriving at the hospital and the sexual act of ejaculation, while 'empty handed' refers both to bringing no items and the man literally having no arms.

This is a meme shared on 9Gag that repurposes a UK news article screenshot. The original news piece from The i Paper covers a 70-year-old pensioner who is unable to sell her £850,000 family home, alongside context that 2.9 million UK residents over 55 who want to downsize are struggling to sell property in the current housing market. The 9Gag title 'The Day Of The Pillow has begun' references a popular dark humor internet meme that jokes about younger generations waiting for older family members to pass away (with 'pillow' referring to the crude euphemism of smothering elderly relatives) to inherit high-value property that they cannot afford to purchase themselves, creating an ironic contrast between the older homeowner's frustration at being unable to sell her home and younger people's desire to gain access to that same unaffordable housing via inheritance.

This meme opens with a question at the top: "Why are the pyramids in Egypt?", displayed above a photograph of the Great Pyramids of Giza standing in the Egyptian desert with a camel caravan in the foreground. A mock social media reply from the popular snarky meme persona Xavier sits over the lower part of the pyramid photo, reading "Because they are too big to transport to British museums". The joke functions as sarcastic commentary criticizing the British Empire's well-documented history of looting valuable historical artifacts from colonized nations across the globe and housing these stolen items in British museums, implying the pyramids are only still located in Egypt because their enormous size made them impossible to steal and relocate.

This is a two-panel relatable meme. Each panel has text on the left and a photo of the well-known Crying Michael Jordan reaction image on the right. The first panel text reads 'When you need a therapist but you don't have money', paired with an image of Michael Jordan crying softly while facing the camera and forcing a stoic neutral expression. The second panel text reads 'And then you realize that if you had money, you wouldn't need a therapist', paired with an image of Jordan crying more intensely, looking away from the camera in greater visible distress. The joke highlights the cruel cycle of financial stress being a core cause of mental health struggles, which makes therapy, the service designed to help with these struggles, unaffordable exactly when people need it most, adding an extra layer of frustration for low-income people.

This is a two-panel meme. The top panel uses the popular 'would you press the button' tradeoff meme format: pressing the displayed red button will give you $10,000 USD, but the associated negative consequence is that your parents will see you having sex with your girlfriend. The bottom panel features Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik from the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog films, grinning ecstatically while reaching eagerly to press the button, with accompanying text explaining that the supposed downsides of the tradeoff are actually positives for him: he gains $10k, gains a girlfriend he previously did not have, and gets to meet his previously absent father for the first time, flipping the negative tradeoff into an entirely beneficial deal.

This meme features two lines of text at the top followed by a reaction image. The first line of text reads "So what's your advice to the coming generation?", the second line is the response: "Me: Don't come". The accompanying image shows Captain James T. Kirk from the original *Star Trek* series holding his hand out palm forward in a clear stopping, rejecting, or warning gesture. The joke is a darkly humorous, pessimistic commentary on modern societal, economic, and environmental hardships, implying that current conditions are so poor that it is better for future generations not to be born or enter the world at all.
