This is a 3-panel meme using the classic self-sabotage bicycle template. In the first panel, a cartoon man rides a bicycle happily, with text stating "I should join a fandom of this thing I like". In the second panel, the man shoves a stick into the spokes of his own moving bicycle, with accompanying text: "Guys, we really need to change (list of things) significantly because wider audience and these times etc.". In the third panel, the man lies on the ground next to his crashed bicycle, looking confused, and asks "Why am I getting so much hate?". The joke mocks people who join established fandoms and immediately demand large, unasked-for changes to the source material to appeal to broader audiences, then act confused when long-time fans push back against their suggestions, framing their backlash as a self-inflicted problem.

This meme is set in a classroom environment, with a young man wearing a green plaid shirt sitting on a stool next to a whiteboard that has a projected slide displayed on it. The text on the slide reads 'She's a 10/10 but is obsessed with harry potter so she's a 9 3/4'. The joke is a pun referencing Platform 9 3/4, the iconic secret train platform for Hogwarts students from the Harry Potter franchise. It plays on the popular internet '1-10 attractiveness rating' meme format, substituting the usual reduced score with the well-known Harry Potter platform number as a playful joke about extreme Harry Potter fandom.

This is a two-panel relatable meme using a well-known scene from *The Office (US)*. In the top panel, bald male character David Wallace is speaking to female coworker Jan Levinson in an office setting, with text overlay on David that reads "me trying not to see spoilers". In the foreground of both panels, a woman in a revealing low-cut top is walking past, which David is visibly attempting not to look at. In the bottom panel, text overlay on the foreground woman reads "trending searches". The joke draws a parallel between the difficulty of avoiding looking at the distracting woman and the near impossibility of avoiding spoilers for new media when browsing the internet, as trending searches often prominently feature spoiler content before people have a chance to watch the relevant show or movie.

The meme features an illustration of two individuals arm-wrestling: one in a white shirt on the left and one in a red shirt on the right. At the top center, the text 'Puppy Bowl' is displayed. On the left arm (white shirt), the text reads 'Not a fan of Bad Bunny'; on the right arm (red shirt), it reads 'Not a fan of Kid Rock'. The image humorously contrasts disinterest in the two public figures (Bad Bunny and Kid Rock) while highlighting 'Puppy Bowl' as a neutral, non-controversial alternative, aligning with the original title's implication that not everything is a political statement.

A four-panel GIF meme featuring Philip J. Fry from the animated series 'Futurama.' Each panel displays Fry with spiky orange hair, wearing a red jacket over a white shirt, set against a blue background. The text overlay on all panels reads 'When my favorite side character gets more screen time than I expected.' Fry's expression remains subtly deadpan with a hint of satisfaction, capturing the feeling of quiet joy when a beloved minor character receives unexpected focus in a show.

A meme featuring a screenshot from the anime 'Nichijou' showing two schoolgirls in white uniforms and blue skirts hugging each other on a wooden floor scattered with confetti. The top text reads 'Star Wars fans after Kathleen Kennedy steps down as the president of Lucasfilm:', and one of the girls is saying 'I'm dreaming. I must be dreaming...' The meme humorously depicts the emotional, disbelieving reaction of Star Wars fans to the hypothetical scenario of Kathleen Kennedy leaving her role at Lucasfilm.

A meme featuring a top text caption and an illustrative image. The text reads: 'When you like a piece of media but its fandom is so cringe and obnoxious that you lowkey don't want be associated with it:'. Below is an image of a man in a leather jacket and cap walking through what appears to be an airport or transit hub, pointedly avoiding looking at a large overhead news screen. The screen displays a 'BREAKING NEWS' headline with 'CAPTAIN AMERICA WANTED FOR MURDER' and shows two portraits of Captain America (front and side profile). The humor hinges on the analogy: disliking a fandom so intensely that you avoid association, comparable to avoiding the image of a wanted criminal.

The right side contains the text: 'Those mfs who genuinely get so upset over morally wrong characters that they have to physically go after the actors.'
