This is a country human style anime meme with two contrasting sections. The upper section shows a gentle, warm personification of Austria as a grandmother wearing an apron printed with an Austrian flag heart, happily doting on young children, captioned "My mom with her grandchildren". The inset lower right section shows the same Austria personification 30 years prior, wearing a stern Austro-Hungarian style military uniform with a neutral, serious expression. A figure next to her is labeled "My brother (RIP)", and this section is captioned "My mom with me 30 years ago". The core joke relies on the stark contrast between modern peaceful, family-oriented Austria and its militaristic imperial and World War era history, with the RIP label referencing dissolved polities and territories that were part of or allied with Austria in past conflicts.

The image is a screenshot of a satirical online secondhand marketplace listing. It displays a beige 2003 Nissan Altima driver's side door handle placed next to a measuring tape to show its length, with handwritten text reading 'George Washington' on the surface of the handle. The listing claims the door handle is signed by George Washington, priced at $0.01 with free shipping or best offer. The humor comes from the absurdly impossible premise: George Washington, the first US president, died in 1799, hundreds of years before the 2003 Nissan Altima was manufactured, so the signature is obviously fake, mocking the weird, nonsensical listings commonly found on peer-to-peer selling platforms.

This image is a screenshot of a YouTube video and its comment section. The video asks the question 'Why is it easy to stay thin in Japan', with the title written in both English at the top and French in the video UI. A top comment by user TSAR PLATINUM answers the question with a dark historical pun: 'That's easy, the last time there was a fat man in Japan a whole city disappeared.' The joke relies on double meaning: 'Fat Man' was the code name of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan during World War II, which destroyed the entire city, playing on the common meaning of 'fat man' as an overweight person.

This animated meme uses Anya Forger's increasingly smug, widening smile to illustrate Thomas Jefferson's extreme satisfaction after pulling off the Louisiana Purchase, buying a massive territory from Napoleon Bonaparte for only 3 cents per acre. The animation shows Anya's grin growing wider and more smug across the sequence, emphasizing the joke that Napoleon got outmaneuvered (finessed) on the deal, while Jefferson got an incredible historic steal.
