This is a meme that uses the popular Lisa Simpson presentation template from the animated TV show *The Simpsons*. The text on the presentation screen makes a logical observation: because Reddit hides native advertisements by disguising them to look just like regular user posts, these ads should be required to allow user comments just like normal posts are. The implicit post title 'Do it you cowards' challenges Reddit to implement this change, poking fun at the fact that Reddit would likely avoid this because comments on ads would be full of user criticism.

This image is a screenshot of a conversation on X (formerly Twitter), where user Krissy asks the question: "What is the most successful lie in history?", and user niy2pretty replies with a witty, relatable joke answer: "I've read and agreed to the terms and conditions". The joke plays on the universal truth that almost no one ever actually reads the full terms of service or user agreements before clicking agree online, making this statement the most widespread successful lie that nearly everyone has told.

This is a simple text-only meme displayed on a plain white background. The on-image text delivers a sincere message: it apologizes for interrupting the viewer's scrolling, notes that the poster and viewer do not know each other personally, then extends a heartfelt wish that the viewer has all the best in life and that all things work out in their favor. The underlying joke is that this unprompted wholesome message stands in stark contrast to the typical toxic, low-effort or performative content commonly associated with Facebook, which aligns with the original title of the meme.

This image captures two students dressed in absurd costumes walking through the aisle of a college lecture hall, while other regular students sit in the seats watching them. The person in front wears a grey bird mask, a full white doctor's lab coat with a stethoscope, and light-colored clothing. The person behind him is shirtless, wearing a chicken mask. Overlaid text on the image reads 'Aura farming class', referencing the internet slang term 'aura farming' which describes intentionally doing bizarre, shocking things in public to build an intimidating or memorable social reputation. The joke here is that the group is literally 'farming aura' by doing this prank in the college class lecture hall.

This is a single-panel black-and-white rage comic meme that uses Wojak-style characters to joke about early 2010s internet culture. A large angry rage figure, labeled 'the internet in 2010', screams extremely harsh, aggressive insults at a small, smiling happy figure representing a 13-year-old Justin Bieber, who is happily singing the opening lyrics 'baby baby baby ohhh' from his hit song *Baby*. The meme exaggerates the extreme, disproportionate harassment and hatred young Justin Bieber received from the general internet public around 2010, highlighting how over the top the backlash was against a young teenager just wanting to sing his song.

The meme consists of two sections. The top section is a screenshot of a search results page with the query 'nuclear bomb' entered. Below the search bar, there are two tabs: 'ALL' (in blue) and 'SHOPPING' (in gray), with the 'SHOPPING' tab circled in red, emphasizing the absurdity of attempting to shop for nuclear bombs. The bottom section features a blurry image of a person wearing a purple head covering, displaying a shocked or confused expression, likely reacting to the nonsensical idea of shopping for nuclear weapons.

This is a screenshot of a viral meme commenting on a reported real tragedy. The image displays a news headline stating that an OnlyFans creator's teen son died by suicide after classmates bullied him by taunting him with nude photos of his mother from her OnlyFans page. A circular inset in the top left shows a photo of the crying teen, while the background features a photo of a woman (representing the mother) lying on pink bed sheets. Below the headline, a user comment reads 'Oh god it’s finally starting, the only fans fallout', and the meme frames this tragedy as proof of growing harm facing the young generation from modern internet adult content culture.

This is a screenshot of a Reddit post from the niche subreddit r/kitchenencels. The post text reads "a woman touched me today. 88g of bread and 600mg of caffeine." The accompanying photo shows a stack of sliced white bread sitting on a digital kitchen scale that displays a weight of 88 grams, placed next to a bottle of Lavitan brand caffeine pills. The meme uses dark, dry irony: it plays on the stereotype of lonely single/incel men where a small accidental touch from a woman is such a rare, momentous event that it is the only personal update the poster shares, paired with his obsessive logging of food and caffeine intake common in strict diet and fitness culture to create the humorous effect.

This is a celebratory meme that uses a behind-the-scenes photograph of actor Grant Gustin posing playfully next to a gravestone on the set of *The Flash*. Text added to the image labels the gravestone "AI SLOP" and labels the posing Gustin "LITERALLY EVERYONE", creating a joke that most people are happy to see the end of low-quality, unoriginal, low-effort AI-generated content (referred to as "AI slop") that flooded online spaces, framing its death as a happy occasion instead of a somber funeral.

This meme uses the popular laughing Leonardo DiCaprio (Calvin Candie from Django Unchained) reaction template. The top text asks the question "How rich are you?", with the section below labeled "Me:" showing the reaction paired with a pop-up confirmation that a copy of WinRAR has been successfully registered and paid for. The joke relies on the long-running internet meme that nearly all users use WinRAR's free unregistered trial version forever, never paying for a license, so actually purchasing and registering a license is presented as an extreme display of unexpected wealth.

This meme uses the classic "Angry Grumpy Old Man" (Back in My Day) meme format. It features a real elderly man in a bowler hat, overcoat and glasses, pointing aggressively at the viewer with an angry, scowling expression. The overlaid text reads "BACK IN MY DAY / THE FUNNY NUMBERS / WERE 69 AND 420". The implied joke from the original title "Never accepting 67" is that only the classic iconic internet "funny numbers" 69 (known for its sexual double meaning) and 420 (linked to cannabis culture) are valid funny numbers, and 67 is rejected as a new "funny number" by older internet users, poking fun at generational differences in internet meme culture.

This meme titled 'The four horsemen' jokes about the four universal recurring comment types that always appear in the comment section of any old popular song on music streaming platforms like YouTube. It uses a meme template of Drake Bell (as Drake Parker from *Drake & Josh*) gesturing to list the four common comments: 'They don't make songs like this anymore', 'This was my ____'s favorite song', 'Who's listening in 20XX?', and a personal sad, romantic or nostalgic story about the song. The meme frames these four always-present repetitive comments as the 'four horsemen' of old song comment sections, poking fun at how predictable and repetitive these comment sections are.
