A two-panel meme utilizing forced perspective photography. The top panel presents a man in a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans standing casually with his hands on hips, seemingly flanked by three life-sized superheroes: Deadpool (red suit with black accents), Spider-Man (blue suit with red details), and Batman (black suit with a cape). The scene is set outdoors with green grass in the foreground, creating the illusion that the superheroes are full-sized. The bottom panel reveals the trick: the man is actually in a normal outdoor area, and the 'superheroes' are small action figures placed on the ground near his feet, with the camera angle in the top panel creating the misleading perspective of them being life-sized companions.

A screenshot of a social media post from the group 'Things with Faces' by user David Messina. The post includes a photograph of a marble-patterned shower wall under construction, featuring vertical red clips aligned along a central seam. The accompanying text humorously states that someone commented the wall resembles 'a sword fight,' though the author claims confusion about this observation. The marble's natural veining and the vertical arrangement of red clips create an optical illusion (pareidolia) suggesting two figures engaged in a sword fight, with the clips mimicking movement lines and the veining forming vague human-like shapes.

A four-panel meme featuring a woman holding a brown dog in each panel, arranged sequentially to create a humorous illusion. The top text reads 'It's amazing how much this lady shrank in just a year,' but the visual reveals the dog is actually growing larger over time. Each panel shows the woman in different outfits (striped sweater, white hoodie, sleeveless top, and striped shirt) holding the dog upright by its front paws. As the sequence progresses, the dog appears significantly bigger, making the woman look progressively smaller relative to the dog—though she is not shrinking; the dog is simply maturing. The dog's expression shifts from neutral to happy (tongue out) in later panels, enhancing the wholesome tone.
