The meme displays a line of text at the top reading 'whoever designed these emojis had ONE job', positioned above two line chart emojis placed side by side on a plain white background. The left emoji has a red line drawn on a light blue grid background, which is intended to be a standard 'trending up/positive growth' emoji, but it features an unnecessary downward dip in the middle of its overall upward trajectory. The right emoji has a blue line on the same grid background, intended to be a standard 'trending down/negative growth' emoji, but it contains an unexpected upward bump in the middle of its overall downward trajectory. The joke revolves around the fact that the emoji designers failed at their single simple task of creating clearly legible, intuitive up and down trend emojis by adding conflicting mid-trend changes that reduce the emojis' at-a-glance readability.

This is a single-panel static meme using a caricature of Kim Jong Il from the animated show South Park. The character is shown angrily firing a missile over a stone wall, overlaid with text in stereotypical broken English: 'YOU FUCKA DOWNVOTE ME I FUCKA DOWNVOTE YOU'. The meme jokes about the common petty behavior on Reddit where users reciprocate downvotes against people who downvoted them, creating a pointless, vicious cycle of negative engagement.

This meme uses a fast food burger analogy to humorously compare video game release practices between the past and present. The top section marked "THEN" displays a complete, full hamburger labeled as the original game, with optional side items (fries and soda) labeled as expansion packs, representing that older base games were fully playable on release with expansions being additional non-essential content. The bottom section marked "NOW" shows only empty hamburger buns as the original game, with all core burger ingredients (lettuce, tomato, patty, cheese) sold separately as DLC, a strip of bacon as a pre-order bonus, and condiments marked as a Best Buy exclusive. The meme criticizes modern gaming monetization that splits core playable content into separate paid purchases, leaving base games incomplete at launch.

This meme features a Kermit the Frog plush lying limp and spread out on its back on an unmade, messy bed in a cluttered room with piles of clothes scattered around. Yellow text at the top lists three negative rising trends: increasing unemployment, increasing PC component prices, and increasing game prices. White text at the bottom serves as the punchline: 'But my salary isn't increased yet'. The defeated, lifeless pose of the Kermit plush visually conveys the frustration and helplessness of facing rising living and hobby costs while personal wages remain stagnant.

This is a 2-panel relatable comic meme. The first panel shows a simple white cartoon character labeled 'Me' reaching eagerly with both hands towards a yellow bubble representing 'Pizza right out of the oven', with an excited, happy expression. The second panel shows the same 'Me' character still reaching for the pizza, but a large pink cartoon character personifying 'The roof of my mouth' is holding the 'Me' character back from behind, referencing the extremely common, unpleasant experience of burning the roof of your mouth on food that is still too hot to eat.

The meme opens with a text question: 'What are some stereotypes that drive you insane?', followed by a comment from an autistic person stating they hate the common stereotype that all autistic people are obsessed with trains, adding that they personally find trains loud and boring. The middle section features a real photograph of Darius McCollum, an autistic man known for his fascination with New York public transit, wearing a train conductor's uniform while sitting in what appears to be a formal courtroom or hearing setting. The bottom text explains McCollum's story: he repeatedly took unauthorized control of New York subway trains and buses, memorized all transit routes and procedures, and often operated the vehicles correctly enough that passengers did not notice anything amiss. The joke lies in the humorous irony that McCollum perfectly fits the stereotype the prior comment was pushing back against, creating a funny contrast between individual experience and widely known public examples of the stereotype.

This is a relatable humor meme split into two parts: text at the top and a reaction image below. The first line of text claims the creator can easily understand extremely complex ideas and information, followed by a second line setting up the contrast: their experience when attempting basic math calculations. The image below shows a young blonde elementary school girl with a green bow in her hair, sitting at a classroom desk, holding a red pen, pressing one hand to her forehead, looking tearful and visibly stressed while trying to complete schoolwork. The meme humorously highlights the common neurodivergent, especially ADHD, experience of having inconsistent, uneven cognitive skills, where difficult abstract concepts are easy to grasp, but simple routine tasks like basic arithmetic feel overwhelming.

This is a two-panel relatable meme using characters from the animated series *Invincible*. The top panel features younger Mark Grayson, with text above reading "young me thinking that I'll have fun once i grow up" and text below him reading "when will i get to have fun?". The bottom panel features Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson) labeled "le adulthood", pointing condescendingly while saying "That's the neat part, you don't". The joke highlights the common, relatable disappointment of adulthood: children expect to have more freedom and fun when they grow up, but are instead overwhelmed by adult responsibilities that leave little time for enjoyment, expressing widespread frustration with the burdens of adulting.

This meme uses the popular Buff Doge vs Cheems format to illustrate the experience of an autistic person with a speech impediment. On the left, the large, muscular, confident Buff Doge is labeled 'ME WHEN ARGUING WITH MY IMAGINARY FRIENDS', representing how articulate, confident, and capable the creator feels when having hypothetical conversations or arguments in their head. On the right, the small, timid, crying Cheems is labeled 'ME WHEN TALKING WITH PEOPLE', representing how anxious, overwhelmed, and unable to communicate effectively the creator feels when speaking to real people in social situations. The joke is relatable to many neurodivergent people who struggle with real-world social communication even when they can easily form coherent arguments in their own mind.

This meme adapts the classic allegorical visual of Sisyphus, the figure from Greek mythology cursed to eternally push a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down repeatedly. In this edited version, the massive heavy boulder is labeled to represent the entire working class, while the figure straining to push the boulder uphill is labeled to represent weekends. The joke communicates a widely relatable sentiment for working people, implying that the small reprieve of weekend rest is the only motivating force that allows the working class to keep pushing through the drudgery and difficulty of their weekly work obligations.

It's the only thing which keeps the working class going, isn't it?

This meme features a question printed at the top, asking viewers how many times they purchased a full CD after hearing one good single from the artist on the radio, only to find the rest of the album was low quality. Below the text is a vintage 1990s/early 2000s candid photograph of a teenage boy wearing glasses and a plaid flannel shirt, browsing through racks of CDs in a physical music store, holding a CD case in one hand while examining it. The background shows CD racks sorted by music genre including Soul and Reggae, with other customers browsing in the store. The meme is targeted at people who grew up before streaming music services were ubiquitous, when previewing full albums before purchase was not easily accessible, making the experience of buying a disappointing album a common relatable memory.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top of the meme features text describing the experience of intending to be reserved and mysterious around new people, but impulsively sharing extremely personal details of your life just to keep a conversation going. Below the text is a close-up screenshot of Ellie, the main protagonist of the *The Last of Us* video game series, making an awkward, slightly regretful pursed-lip expression directly at the viewer, which perfectly encapsulates the feeling of immediately regretting oversharing personal information right after you say it.
