This meme humorously exaggerates the extremely long wait many job applicants experience after attending a job interview, when companies frequently fail to get back to candidates. It shows a human skeleton (skull and hand) slumped over a dusty, cobweb-covered old keyboard in front of a computer monitor that reads "waiting for reply...", implying the applicant died waiting to hear back from the hiring company. Large top text confirms the context: "ME WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE COMPANY THAT INTERVIEWED ME".

A two-panel comparison meme contrasting Portal and Half-Life gameplay. The top panel, labeled 'Portal Gameplay:', shows a relaxed animated character sitting in a chair with a thought bubble reading 'This is too easy' surrounded by complex mathematical equations. The bottom panel, labeled 'Half-Life Gameplay:', features a determined animated character (likely Gordon Freeman) stating 'I am a scientist' next to a gun, a computer mouse, and a crossed-out enemy figure (resembling a Combine soldier from Half-Life). The meme humorously exaggerates Portal's puzzle-solving focus as 'easy' despite complex visuals and Half-Life's combat-oriented gameplay despite the protagonist's scientific background.

A 4-panel meme utilizing a screenshot from the TV show 'Breaking Bad,' featuring the character Walter White dressed in a yellow hazmat suit. Each panel displays the text 'Bill Gates making coffee for Melinda Gates' above the image. Walter White is shown in a series of actions: holding a pipette, transferring liquid into test tubes, and focusing intently on the process. The meme humorously parodies Bill Gates by juxtaposing his public persona with Walter White's scientific precision, implying an exaggeratedly meticulous approach to making coffee for his former spouse Melinda Gates.

This humorous meme features a real brown and white domestic cat sitting directly on an open carton of eggs resting on a speckled kitchen countertop, next to a maroon KitchenAid stand mixer against a tiled backsplash. The bottom text overlay jokes that the house has 5 beds and 10 comfortable chairs available, but the cat still chooses to sit directly on the carton of eggs. The joke relies on the universal, well-known cat behavior of ignoring all comfortable, appropriate furniture to sit on the most random, inconvenient spot possible.

This meme uses the popular thinking chimpanzee template, where a chimpanzee wearing glasses holds an open book and rests a hand on its chin in a contemplative pose, over a red to yellow gradient background. It presents a classic 'would you rather' question asking the audience to choose between receiving 5 million dollars in one year, or receiving one dollar after 5 million years. The chimpanzee's thinking pose represents the audience pondering this obvious choice, as the 5 million dollar option is far more valuable and relevant to any living person, while the 5 million year wait makes the one dollar effectively worthless for anyone alive today.

This funny photograph shows a wide-eyed, startled black cat being held by a person, with the broken neck portion of a ceramic vase stuck around its neck, resembling an odd thick collar. Text at the bottom of the image explains the backstory: the cat got its head stuck inside a whole vase, panicked, broke the vase apart, leaving only this ring-shaped piece around its neck. The cat's shocked, confused expression makes the silly situation humorous, and the background is a residential kitchen counter.

This is a three-panel meme featuring two orcs from *The Lord of the Rings* franchise, that recontextualizes the iconic Mines of Moria scene from the orcs' perspective. In the first panel, the orcs notice a strange noise and ask "What's that noise over there?". In the second panel, one orc dismisses the noise, saying that in the old mines of Moria, things are always falling and breaking, so there is no need to worry. In the third panel, a distant shout of "Fool of a Took!" (Gandalf's famous line after Pippin Took accidentally drops a stone that alerts orcs to the Fellowship's presence) is heard, and the orcs change their mind, deciding to go investigate the shouts. The joke works because Pippin's famous mistake directly contradicts the orc's assumption that the noise is just routine wear and tear in the mines.

This is a popular quote meme featuring well-known British physicist and science communicator Professor Brian Cox. The image shows Brian Cox speaking at a public event, holding a microphone and gesturing to emphasize his point. A text quote is overlaid on the bottom of the image, which argues that while everyone has the right to hold an opinion, that right does not obligate other people to listen to it, and opinions that are factually nonsensical can be roundly ignored or even mocked. The meme is commonly shared to call out uninformed or bad-faith takes in online discussions.

This image is a screenshot of a verified social media post from Dan Wilbur sharing a funny prank story. Eight years prior, when filling out a new patient form at a dentist office, he was asked what he preferred to be called, and jokingly wrote 'The Chosen One', then completely forgot about the joke. When he returned for an appointment years later, he overheard the receptionist inform the dentist that 'The Chosen One is here', revealing that the dentist office has used his silly preferred nickname for him the entire eight years. The joke plays on the popular 'Chosen One' prophecy trope from media like Star Wars, with the original repost calling this a fulfilled prophecy.

This two-panel meme contrasts popular media depictions of anglerfish with their actual real size. The top panel shows a large, terrifying, monstrous anglerfish with a huge gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, which matches how most people imagine this deep sea fish. The bottom panel shows a real anglerfish, which is actually tiny enough to fit comfortably on the palm of a person's gloved hand, with the small fish circled in red to highlight its unexpected small size. The text at the top reads 'Thought they'd be bigger tbh' (short for 'to be honest'), expressing the common expectation that anglerfish are much larger than they actually are. This is a screenshot of a Twitter/X post from verified user selinam, handle @bennynotblanco.

The bottom half of the meme shows a blurry close-up photograph of a white parrot with extremely wide, startled eyes, conveying the shocked, nervous reaction the author has to this sudden unsettling thought.
