The meme consists of a text block at the top, followed by a grainy black-and-white reaction photo of Muhammad Ali. The top text reads: 'When you’re 8 hours into a “quick shopping trip” and your mom finds her friend she hasn’t seen since the fall of Rome in 476 AD'. The image below shows Muhammad Ali with a completely deadpan, exhausted, fed-up blank stare, perfectly conveying the extreme boredom and frustration of a child stuck waiting for their mom to finish an excessively long conversation with an old acquaintance during what was supposed to be a short errand. The humor comes from the relatable real-life experience of parents extending shopping trips drastically to chat, plus the hyperbolic joke referencing the 476 AD fall of Rome to exaggerate how long it has been since the two friends met, amplifying how long the conversation will last.

This is a dark humor meme using screenshots of classic Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie. In the image, Ernie is positioned behind a drum wearing plaid house slippers, facing Bert who sits on an armchair holding a book with a stern, frustrated expression. The caption below explains that Ernie spent over $2000 from his and Bert's joint savings account to buy what was claimed to be Ann Frank's drum kit from a shady seller on Craigslist, and Bert is trying to hold back his anger while explaining that Ann Frank, who hid in a tiny secret annex during the Holocaust to avoid Nazi persecution, could never have owned a drum kit. The joke relies on the absurdity of Ernie's foolish purchase, well-known historical facts about Ann Frank's living situation, and the classic character dynamic of impulsive, nonsensical Ernie and exasperated, responsible Bert.
