This is a two-panel meme that uses footage from a street interview to make a commentary on global wealth inequality. In the first panel, an unidentified Black man in a grey The North Face hoodie looks off-camera with a skeptical expression, with overlaid text reading "the earth is a resort for like 500 rich people". In the second panel, the man turns to face the camera with a wide-eyed, shocked and serious expression, finishing the statement with the overlaid text "and the rest of us are just the staff". The joke highlights the observation that a tiny number of ultra-wealthy people reap almost all the benefits of the planet's resources, while the vast majority of people work to serve them without getting the same luxury benefits.

This is a satirical meme featuring the official logo of the American satirical news publication The Onion, with a joke breaking news headline. The headline jokes that The Onion, which is famous for creating absurd, made-up satirical fake news stories, is on the brink of collapse because it can no longer invent a story more idiotic and absurd than actual real current reality. This is a meta, humorous commentary on how increasingly absurd real world events have become, surpassing even the most outlandish satire from The Onion.

This is a 4-panel comic meme joking about the discontinuation of Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft's little-used desktop publishing app. In the first panel, the Grim Reaper comes to collect the dying Microsoft Publisher, saying 'It's time to go'. In the second panel, the innocent Publisher (represented by its logo, with a halo) asks 'Was I a good app?'. In the third panel, the Grim Reaper replies bluntly, 'I don't even know who the fuck you were'. In the fourth panel, the Grim Reaper leads Publisher into the afterlife river. The joke relies on the widely known fact that almost no one ever used or even remembered Microsoft Publisher existed, even though it was included in some Microsoft Office bundles for decades.

This is a satirical meme that jokes about the modern trend of more and more products and services shifting to recurring monthly paid subscription models. It extrapolates this trend to an absurd dystopian future where by 2030, even staying alive will require a $9.99 per month subscription. The joke is illustrated with a photo of an infant baby leaning over a table signing a document, in the style of a formal professional contract signing, which absurdly depicts babies signing up for these mandatory life subscriptions.

This is a humorous pun meme that leans into a relatable sad-lonely vibe for single people. The text sets up a wordplay: the suffix "-some" in "twosomes" and "threesomes" (terms for sexual encounters between two and three people, respectively) rhymes with the end of "handsome" — the punchline is that while everyone else is hooking up, you are just single, only "handsome" with no romantic/sexual partners. Below the text is a stylized, filtered portrait of a handsome man with a dejected, disappointed expression looking off to the side, perfectly matching the joke's lonely tone.

This is a sarcastic meme that humorously blames the ancient evolutionary event of fish walking onto land for all modern adult struggles of working and paying rent. The image combines a paleoart illustration of an ancient walking early tetrapod (the first fish to move onto land) emerging from shallow water onto a beach, with multiple edited human hands pointing at the fish to emphasize the blame. The top text jokes that because this fish left water, modern humans now have to go to work and pay rent, playing on the idea that this evolutionary step led to human existence and all of its associated adult stress.

This is a viral dark humor meme that opens with a hypothetical scenario at the top: you are walking through the woods and find the body of a recently murdered sex worker lying face-down on leaf-covered ground, and the meme asks what you would do. A screenshot of a comment from user David Turner at the bottom gives the pun punchline: "I'd change directions, obviously I am walking in circles". The joke relies on a sexual double entendre: it plays on two meanings of "walking in circles" -- the innocent meaning of being lost while hiking in a loop, and a vulgar sexual pun referencing the body's pose, implying the commenter was already having sex with the woman before she died, so he was already "walking in circles" behind her.

This image is a screenshot of a YouTube video from creator Jojas Makes... The video frame shows the creator, a man with long dark hair wearing a maroon striped henley shirt, speaking directly to the camera. The video title is a cynical, humorous joke: "I pranked myself by going to school 18 years for nothing", which frames spending 18 years getting an education as a self-inflicted prank that resulted in no meaningful personal or career benefit, a relatable take for many people frustrated with education systems and poor job outcomes. The YouTube interface overlay shows the video has 13K views, 2.9K likes, only 4 dislikes, and the creator's channel has 61K subscribers.

This joke meme criticizes modern recurring subscription and rental business models, framing them as one of the worst inventions created by humanity. The top text states 'Human invents renting and subscription', while the caption at the bottom has the red costumed Devil saying 'Well, I just wanna say that I'm a huge fan'. A regular man sitting beside the Devil looks at him with a disapproving, disgusted expression. The meme jokes that exploitative non-ownership recurring payment models are so evil that even the Devil himself admires the idea.

This is an edited reaction meme that places a photograph of Freddy Mercury's face onto a cartoon character body from *The Simpsons*, using the popular 'Pathetic' judgment template. The meme makes a humorous comparison: it notes that Freddy Mercury continued performing and hitting his highest vocal notes even while living with advanced AIDS, yet modern singers will cancel an entire show just because of a minor tickle in their throat. Freddy Mercury is depicted as unimpressed, calling this behavior 'Pathetic'.

This is a two-panel funny meme. The top section shows a rear-view photo of a truck driving on a road, with text painted on the undercarriage of the truck that reads "TEST YOUR AIRBAG HERE", highlighted with a red circle. The joke is a dark humorous implication that if you rear-end this truck, your vehicle's airbag will deploy, which is literally what the text says. The bottom section features a cartoon drawing of a man laughing uncontrollably, paired with text that says "When truck driver have sense of humour".

This meme features a heavily photoshopped composite group photograph that brings together an absurd, impossible lineup of famous people in one casual outdoor shot. From left to right: an unidentified older seated man, internet personality Mia Khalifa, a deepfake of deceased pop icon Michael Jackson holding an assault rifle, popular streamer IShowSpeed, and deceased disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding a New Mix beer can. Top text reads "Future gens are gonna have a hell of a time figuring out what's real", joking that modern photo manipulation will make it impossible for future generations to distinguish authentic historical photos from fakes. A Reddit comment below adds an intentional pun referencing Mia Khalifa's background as a former adult film star: "It's fake, that lady is dressed." The joke plays on the expectation that most viral online photos of Khalifa are undressed, so her being fully dressed here is proof the image is fake.
