This is a low-resolution closeup still frame of British singer Rick Astley, taken from his iconic 1987 'Never Gonna Give You Up' music video, the core source of the globally famous Rickroll internet prank. Astley is positioned behind a vintage silver mesh microphone, wearing a dark suit over a white collared shirt, with his head tilted slightly down. He wears a subtle, smug closed-mouth smirk, conveying a teasing, knowing tone. The hazy, purple-tinged background features out-of-focus horizontal window blinds. This frame is commonly used as a reaction meme to signal an upcoming rickroll, or to express smug amusement, teasing, or the feeling of knowing something the audience does not.

This meme is a cynical parody of the classic NBC "The More You Know" public service announcement graphic. It uses the original PSA's signature visual style: a dark starry space background, 3D light purple text with yellow undertones, and the iconic yellow shooting star graphic with a trailing sparkling effect. The original PSA's top text line "THE MORE YOU KNOW" is preserved, while additional text below subverts the original's positive educational tone with the punchline "THE MORE YOU HATE IT HERE", used to express disillusionment, frustration, or disappointment after learning new unpleasant information.

This meme pairs a classical Renaissance-era portrait painting of a noblewoman in a yellow gown with pearl jewelry holding an orange tabby cat, with the text caption above reading 'Me talking sh*t about you to my cat'. The woman has a subtle, smug, knowing side-eyed expression, which perfectly illustrates the relatable modern experience of gossiping or venting about people you are frustrated with to your pet cat, who acts as a non-judgmental, silent confidant.

This image is a screenshot of a public post from the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The post is written by user Liz Cordeiro, whose profile picture (showing her smiling while holding a white cup, seated outside near purple flowering plants) is visible at the top left. The text of the post humorously recounts a common, relatable experience for people with ADHD: when an individual drops an item on the floor, initially plans to pick it up later, then proceeds to walk past the item every single day for a full week, feeling frustrated and angry that the item is still on the floor, while simultaneously lacking the motivation or executive function to pick the item up and put it away properly. The joke resonates with many neurodivergent people who experience executive dysfunction symptoms related to ADHD.

This is a two-panel relatable humor meme featuring the character Marge Simpson from The Simpsons. The left panel is marked with the date 1/12/2016, showing Marge sitting on a short stool with a bottom caption that reads "okay as soon as this depressive episode ends i'm gonna be productive". The right panel is marked 5/7/2022, showing the same room and pose, except the stool Marge sits on is now significantly taller, with her feet dangling far above the floor. The joke highlights the common experience of people struggling with depression who intend to be productive once their mental health improves, only to find themselves stuck in the same depressive state for years with no progress.

The photograph captures the exterior of a plain off-white building, focusing on a divided 4-pane window. The lower two window panes are backed with rainbow-colored fabric matching the LGBTQ+ pride flag, with bold white text applied: the left lower pane reads "BE GAY" and the right lower pane reads "PET DOGS". A small terracotta plant pot sits on the left lower window sill. Dappled tree shadows are cast on the wall to the upper left of the window, and a rectangular planter holding dry, fallen leaves is visible at the bottom right edge of the frame. A very faint, partially obscured human face can be seen peeking from the far right edge of the right lower window pane, barely noticeable. The meme combines queer pride messaging with the universally beloved activity of petting dogs for a lighthearted, positive, humorous effect.

This meme opens with the common internet phrase "Go outside and touch grass", a saying used to suggest people who spend excessive time online should go experience real life. Below this text is a photo of a busy, heavily paved suburban/commercial road in a car-dependent area, with traffic on both sides, cracked asphalt, utility poles, billboards and storefronts lining the street, with almost no visible green grass. The joke highlights the disconnect between the idyllic, nature-filled idea of 'going outside' implied by the phrase, and the unappealing, hot, concrete-heavy actual outside environment many people encounter, especially during summer months.

This is a two-panel relatable comparison meme using screenshots of Jerry the mouse from the classic *Tom and Jerry* animated series. The left panel shows Jerry with a confident, smug expression, shrugging with both hands out, which corresponds to the first part of the top text "Me advising others". The right panel shows Jerry looking dazed, dejected, and confused with a hunched limp posture, corresponding to the second text part "Me not knowing what to do with my life". The meme humorously highlights the common, relatable experience of people being very competent at giving guidance to others while being completely unable to figure out their own life choices and plans.

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top overarching text reads 'When you tell a self deprecating joke but no one laughs'. The first panel shows the character Rose Nylund from the sitcom *The Golden Girls* laughing nervously, with an on-screen caption '[laughing nervously]'. The second panel shows the same character hanging her head in obvious shame and embarrassment, with the caption 'God, I wish I was dead'. The meme humorously captures the relatable feeling of intense awkwardness and regret when a self-deprecating joke falls flat and gets no reaction from an audience.

This meme features a solid black background. At the top, white sans-serif text reads 'Listening to coworkers talk about how great the person you replaced was.' Below the text is a widely used 3D yellow round emoji face with wide, staring eyes and a strained, forced polite closed-mouth smile. The meme humorously captures the relatable, awkward, uncomfortable feeling of being a new employee who has to politely listen to their colleagues gush about how good the former employee in their role was, while internally feeling awkward or discouraged by the comparison.

This meme consists of top overlaid text paired with an anime screenshot below. The text reads 'Me pretending to be on my phone in public settings to avoid social interactions'. The visual shows the back of a young male anime character holding a smartphone and staring intently at its screen, appearing occupied with the device. It illustrates the common relatable behavior of faking phone usage to avoid unwanted small talk or interactions with other people when in public spaces.

This image is a screenshot of a social media interface, featuring a still frame from a short video at the top: a bald Black man wearing a navy blue polo shirt with a red collar is mid-speech, with yellow text over his mouth that reads 'cut,'. Below the video is a top comment from user 'sergehbjj' posted 6 days prior that says 'No matter what you do, don't sit on a wall', which has accumulated 39.5 thousand likes, with a prompt to view 160 additional replies. The humor comes from the absurdly ominous, completely uncontextualized warning paired with the 'cut' text that implies the speaker was about to reveal the terrible consequence of sitting on a wall before being interrupted, making the comment feel deliberately teasing and diabolical for leaving out critical information.
