This is a reaction meme using the popular Toy Story Woody and Buzz Lightyear template. Woody looks stressed and alarmed in the frame, while Buzz Lightyear stands beside him with an arm around Woody's shoulder, holding up three fingers and gesturing off-screen. The meme text complains that gas prices have increased three times in just one single day, voicing widespread frustration over rapidly rising fuel costs and the growing cost of living crisis. The visual joke aligns the three fingers Buzz is holding up with the three daily price increases mentioned in the text, emphasizing the absurd speed of price growth.

This two-panel comparison meme uses the same middle-aged man at a gas station to joke about the rapid rise of gasoline prices and general inflation. The top panel, labeled 2020, shows the man wearing a face mask correctly over his mouth, calmly looking at a gas price sign with low 2020-era prices (regular gas at just $2.19 per gallon). The bottom panel, labeled 2026, shows the man turned to look at a new price sign with extremely inflated gas prices (regular gas at almost $9 per gallon); the man's face mask has slipped down over his eyes, visually representing his shock at the dramatic price increase. The meme exaggerates the recent trend of rising fuel costs for comedic effect that resonates with people dealing with a higher cost of living.

This meme utilizes the widely recognized two-panel reaction template featuring Captain James T. Kirk from *Star Trek: The Animated Series*. At the top of the image, the text reads: *Gas prices go up after Iran is bombed*. The first panel depicts Kirk with an annoyed, frustrated expression, his hand resting on his cheek as he looks off to the side, conveying irritation at the news. The second panel shows Kirk with his hand covering his mouth, his expression shifting to exasperation, which aligns with the original meme title 'Well, Frick you, too!'—implying his frustrated, resigned reaction to the inevitable gas price hike following global conflict. The meme humorously taps into the common, relatable frustration people experience when geopolitical events lead to increased everyday costs like fuel.

A meme combining a Twitter/X post from user 'klassy' (@killklassy) with the text 'the prophecy has been fulfilled' and a photograph of a 7-Eleven gas station sign. The sign shows that both Regular and Diesel fuel prices are displayed as $7.11, which humorously matches the brand name '7-Eleven'. The joke lies in framing this price coincidence as the fulfillment of a 'prophecy,' playing on the brand's name and the numerical price.

The image features a top section with green text reading: 'Never Forget, a few blocks away from Nakatomi Plaza in 1988, gas was .74 cents a gallon! 😲' accompanied by a surprised face emoji. Below the text is a photograph split into two parts: on the left, a tall building resembling Nakatomi Plaza (a fictional skyscraper from the movie 'Die Hard'), and on the right, a vintage gas station price sign displaying 'Regular 74 9/10' and 'Unleaded 77 9/10', indicating gasoline prices from 1988. The combination of the text and image evokes nostalgia for lower gas prices and references the 1988 film setting.

A two-panel comparison meme contrasting childhood and adulthood. The top panel shows a young person (likely Harry Potter) outdoors pointing a wand with the text 'Me as a kid' and 'Expecto Patronum' (a famous protective spell from the Harry Potter series). The bottom panel shows an older version of the same person driving a car with the text 'Me now' and 'Expensive Petroleum,' a pun replacing 'Patronum' with 'Petroleum' to humorously juxtapose childhood magic with adult financial realities like rising gas prices.
