This is a two-panel meme comparing the fictional Mario brothers' stated opinions on generative AI. The top text poses the question of the Mario Bros' views on generative AI. The left red panel features Mario giving a measured, reasonable stance that while AI has many associated problems, people should not dehumanize others who use it. The right green panel features Luigi giving an over-the-top, comically aggressive stance saying that anyone who posts low-quality generative AI content (referred to as 'slop') will have their head explode. The joke frames Luigi's unapologetically harsh take as more relatable and preferable to Mario's neutral take, supporting the title that claims Luigi is the better brother.

This image is a screenshot of a Reddit comment exchange that acts as a meta demonstration of Cunningham's Law. First, user Kollr intentionally misattributes the principle 'the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer' as Murphy's Law. Another user, againstbetterjudgmnt, replies correcting the misattribution, asking if Kollr means Cunningham's Law. Kollr then replies 'See, it work.' (intentionally using slightly incorrect grammar) to point out that the correction he received is exactly the principle he described working in real time, proving the law is valid.

This meme features a side-by-side comparison of content creator Clavicular on the left and the character Young Sheldon (portrayed by Iain Armitage) on the right. Both wear identical light gray polo shirts, share very similar dark hairstyles, facial structure, and neutral serious expressions. The text above the comparison states that fans have noticed the strong resemblance between the two. Below the comparison image is a verified comment from Iain Armitage, the actor who plays Young Sheldon, that reads "I mog him in this photo", internet slang meaning he looks better than Clavicular in this side-by-side. The comment has 23.5 thousand likes.

This sarcastic meme jokes about the common online practice of censoring the mild curse word "ass" by writing "ahh" instead. It compares this overly cautious, child-proofing censorship to the way adults feed small young children, using the viral "here comes the airplane" reaction visual: a man holds a spoon, moving it like a flying airplane with an amused, patronizing expression, implying that people who censor such a harmless word are being coddled and treated like infants who cannot handle trivial adult language.

Soon they'll be saying their first words, too.

This is a 3-panel tech meme. The first panel shows a smug Wojak character mocking the Internet Explorer logo, saying 'You are slow. Unlike the other browsers'. The second panel has Internet Explorer responding 'I am the only browser on your PC that does not have AI SLOP'. In the third panel, the Wojak character is shown angry and running away in frustration, while the Internet Explorer logo is edited to have a smug troll face, indicating it has won the argument. The joke subverts the long-running popular joke that Internet Explorer is an outdated, extremely slow web browser, by pointing out that modern mainstream browsers have added intrusive, unwanted low-quality AI features (derisively called 'AI slop' by many internet users), making the old, simple Internet Explorer preferable in this aspect.

Internet Explorer got the last laugh

The meme consists of text overlaid above a reaction photo. The text first states 'Pedro Pascal: *farts*', then follows with 'The internet:' leading into the image below. The image shows a middle-aged blonde woman in a crowd, screaming ecstatically with her eyes rolled back, both fists raised in celebration, surrounded by other audience members who are also clapping and cheering enthusiastically. The humor comes from the absurd exaggeration of the internet's over-the-top positive reaction to even completely trivial, unremarkable actions performed by popular celebrity Pedro Pascal.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using footage from the American sitcom *Malcolm in the Middle*. The top panel features the character Malcolm sitting in the passenger seat of a car with a shocked, confused expression, labeled 'People using Umbrella Academy meme'. The bottom panel features the character Lois driving the car, shouting angrily out the window, labeled '9GAG Veterans'. The humor comes from the inside joke among long-time 9GAG users: the two-panel car yelling meme format is often incorrectly attributed to a scene from the Netflix series *The Umbrella Academy* by newer internet users, while older 9GAG users recognize it originates from the much earlier *Malcolm in the Middle* show, leading to their frustration at the misattribution.

This meme depicts two popular Shiba Inu Doge meme characters positioned at the entrance of a venue with a lit neon sign reading 'HORNY CLUB' topped with a Doge head logo. A buff, muscular Doge wearing a necktie stands at the doorway with overlaid text that says 'Welcome to Horny Club™', acting as a bouncer or host for the venue. A second, older-looking Doge wearing a fedora hat, glasses, necktie, and holding a cane sits to the right, with overlaid text that reads 'Thanks Sir' as he appears to be granted entry to the club. The joke plays on the common 'horny' internet meme trope, using the widely recognizable Doge character variants for humorous effect.

This is a joke meme that uses the popular stock image of an excited young boy sitting in front of a computer. The top text reads 'APRIL FOOLS DAY IS OVER!' and the bottom text reads 'EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET IS TRUE AGAIN!'. The joke pokes fun at the large number of pranks, fake announcements, and intentional misinformation posted online during April Fools' Day, humorously implying that all online content becomes truthful again once the holiday ends. The boy's excited celebratory expression and raised victory fist amplifies the silly, relatable joke.

This is a satirical remix of the iconic "Is This A Pigeon?" meme. The image features an animated man (from the 1991 anime *The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird*) labeled "THE INTERNET", who is pointing at a butterfly labeled "PERSON WITH A NICHE AND SPECIFIC HOBBY" while asking the absurd question "IS THIS AUTISM?". The meme critiques the common internet stereotype of incorrectly associating any intense, niche hobby with autism, using the original meme's absurd premise (mistaking a butterfly for a pigeon) to highlight the ridiculousness of this overgeneralization. It mocks the tendency of online communities to mislabel neurodivergent traits without understanding, framing the internet as a confused, uninformed observer.

This is a two-panel meme. The top panel displays a real baby gorilla curled up, resting comfortably on an orange stuffed monkey toy placed on a concrete surface, appearing tired or soothed. The bottom panel shows a portrait of Harambe, the famous deceased gorilla who became a viral internet meme, with a stern, serious expression as he stares directly at the viewer. Below the two panels, a line of text reads: *May Harambe look down upon our love for Punch and finally lift the curse.* The meme humorously frames Harambe as a mythic, quasi-spiritual figure who can alleviate a shared frustration or 'curse' related to the drink Punch, playing on the long-running internet trope of treating Harambe as a satirical folk hero or deity.
