This meme features a screenshot of the animated character Doraemon operating his time travel machine against a swirling green time warp background from the Doraemon anime series. Text placed above the image jokes that even though Doraemon is canonically a time traveler from the 22nd century future, he never warned people living in the 21st century about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The joke plays on the fictional lore of the Doraemon franchise, humorously calling out the absurdity of expecting fictional characters to account for real-world global events.

This is an 8-panel (4 rows, 2 columns) meme using screencaps from the sitcom Friends. The left column features the character Phoebe Buffay slowly spelling out the start of a media title one letter at a time: first 'L', then 'Lo', then 'Lor', before finishing with 'Yes, I want to watch it!'. The right column features the character Joey Tribbiani, overlaid with red 'NETFLIX' text, incorrectly guessing different well-known titles each round: first 'La La Land?', then 'Logan?', then 'Lord of the rings?', before finally responding 'Oh we don't have it'. The joke satirizes the common frustrating experience of using Netflix, where the platform often fails to have the specific content a user is searching for, even when the user clearly indicates what they want.

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel shows a young girl in a beige knit hat and purple winter coat, smiling gently with her eyes closed as a bright blue morpho butterfly rests near her chin, paired with the text 'Me wanting a girl who's obsessed with me'. The bottom panel shows the same girl with wide, alarmed eyes, looking distressed as the butterfly has turned to face her and moved closer to her lips, paired with the text 'Me realizing I actually don't'. The meme uses the girl's changing reaction to the butterfly as a visual metaphor for the common relatable experience of thinking you want an extremely attached, obsessed romantic partner, only to be caught off guard and overwhelmed when that desire becomes reality.

This is a 4-panel hand-drawn comic meme. In the first panel, a cartoon anthropomorphized pink brain with wide open eyes asks 'Trying to relax after smoking weed?'. The second panel shows a girl lying comfortably in bed with her eyes closed, calmly replying 'That's right'. In the third panel, the brain speaks again, saying 'How bout a panic attack instead?'. The fourth panel shows the same girl now wide awake with huge, startled, terrified eyes, jolted out of her relaxed state by an unexpected panic attack. The meme humorously depicts the common, relatable negative experience many cannabis users face when they consume the substance expecting to relax, but instead have an unplanned anxiety or panic attack.

This is a 4-panel relatable food meme. The top text reads 'You know you're in a quality restaurant when they serve you your food in a basket with a paper liner.' The four panels all show different common casual comfort food meals served in red plastic baskets lined with greaseproof paper: the top left panel displays a cheeseburger with regular fries, the top right panel has fried chicken tenders, fries and dipping sauce, the bottom left panel shows fish and chips with side dishes overlaid with the animated character Kronk from *The Emperor's New Groove* making a satisfied, pleased contemplative expression, and the bottom right panel displays a cheesesteak sandwich with crinkle cut fries. The joke plays on the widespread popular perception that casual comfort food served in this low-key format is reliably tasty and high quality, as opposed to expensive formal fine dining experiences.

This meme uses the popular Gentleman Frog illustration, an anthropomorphic frog dressed in formal 19th century Western gentleman's clothing sitting stoically. Overlaid text at the top reads 'GENTLEMEN, IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE TO INFORM YOU', and text at the bottom reads 'THAT I HAVE STOPPED DRINKING HALF A LITER OF VODKA A DAY AND STARTED EATING HEALTHY AND EXERCISING.' The 9Gag user who posted this shared that they are one month into their new healthy lifestyle after quitting excessive drinking, and chose to share this milestone with the 9Gag community rather than their friends and family, who were unaware of their past alcohol use issue. The overly formal, dramatic tone of the meme template contrasts humorously with the personal, vulnerable share, making it relatable for people celebrating anonymous personal wins online.

This is a 2x2 split panel comparison meme mocking video game publisher Electronic Arts (EA)’s controversial monetization practices. The top left panel simply displays the word 'Bread', paired with the top right panel showing a full, uncut loaf of bread priced at $10. The bottom left panel features a wordplay version of the word 'Bread', where the 'e' and 'a' letters are replaced with the official EA corporate logo, spelling 'Br<EA>d'. The corresponding bottom right panel shows the same loaf of bread split into separate paid components: a large portion labeled 'Base Game' priced at $30, a smaller segment labeled 'DLC (Downloadable Content)' priced at $20, and the remaining small cut pieces placed in a box labeled 'Loot box', implying these final parts of the product have to be obtained via random paid loot boxes. The joke highlights criticism that EA charges customers far more than the value of a full finished product by splitting game content into multiple separate paid purchases, in contrast to a normal food product sold as a complete whole for a lower price.

This is a single panel reaction meme. The top of the image features text describing a relatable fandom experience: checking a subreddit for a franchise you once loved, hoping it has improved, only to find it has declined further. Below the text is an image of a tearful tabby cat with visible tears and snot, lying on a soft beige fluffy blanket while looking sadly at a mobile phone in front of it. The cat's upset expression perfectly matches the feeling of letdown described in the text, creating a humorous and relatable joke for media franchise fans.

This is a 2x2 comparison meme about the common ADHD information processing experience. The top left panel features an edited version of Patrick Star from *SpongeBob SquarePants* with comically oversized ears, looking intensely focused and slightly angry, paired with text on the right that reads "ADHD child processing thousands of background noises". The bottom left panel shows a distorted, blurred, dazed version of Patrick with static and visual artifacts around him, paired with text on the right that reads "ADHD child processing simple instructions". The joke relies on the relatable, ironic experience common to people with ADHD, where processing large amounts of background sensory input comes easily, but following simple direct instructions feels overwhelmingly difficult.

This is an image macro meme using the widely popular 'The Most Interesting Man in the World' template. It jokes about the common frustrating experience for Reddit users: when they take time to create and share a post on the platform, it is often arbitrarily removed by subreddit moderators without clear explanation. The top text sets up an expectation of an interesting fact about the character's Reddit activity, while the bottom punchline replaces the expected payoff with the standard Reddit post removal notification, creating a relatable humorous effect for frequent Reddit users.

This meme uses the classic Kermit 'keep it real' template, showing Kermit the Frog placing a hand on the shoulder of shocked red Muppet Pepe the King Prawn. The top caption reads 'IMA KEEP IT REAL WITH U CHIEF!!', while the bottom caption states 'I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAVING FUN BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU RE-CREATING POP CULTURE CHARACTERS IN TOMODACHI LIFE'. It jokes about the oversaturation of repetitive social media posts where users share custom pop culture character builds they made in the Nintendo life simulation game Tomodachi Life, expressing the common frustrated sentiment of users who are tired of seeing these frequent, unoriginal posts.

This sarcastic meme displays a real Google Street View screenshot dated August 2015, showing a paved footpath running alongside a narrow canal. A black cow stands at the edge of the path grazing, with its head fully blurred out, as Google Street View's automated face-blurring privacy feature incorrectly identified the cow's head as a human face that needed to be obscured for privacy. The text above the image reads 'I'm glad google is taking cow privacy seriously', making fun of Google's public claims about prioritizing user privacy, juxtaposing the absurd over-application of the blur feature on a cow against common criticisms that Google fails to adequately protect real human user data.
