This is a two-panel meme featuring the character Cosmo from the animated show The Fairly OddParents. The text at the top of the meme states 'Today's the only day you can repost this'. The left panel shows Cosmo grinning excitedly while holding a pencil and notepad, labeled with the date 'WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22.'. The right panel shows Cosmo with a wider, smug mischievous grin, with the label 'COSMO HAD AN IDEA.'. The joke plays on common annual repost meme trends: the meme implies Cosmo invented the rule that this meme can only be shared on March 22 each year, tricking users into reposting it every year on that date.

This is a static screenshot of a popular user-uploaded remix video from Bilibili. The top of the image shows the video metadata: the video is titled 'Sarilang!!!', has 17.161 million plays, 35,000 danmu (bullet comments), was published on July 19, 2021, and peaked at 6th place on Bilibili's full-site ranking. The video frame itself is from the classic 'Liu Huaqiang buys watermelon' scene from the Chinese TV series *Conquer*, and is almost completely covered by dense bullet comments, most of which are 'kksk' (a common ACG internet slang of Japanese origin meaning 'I like this very much'), along with other positive comments like 'addictive', 'awesome', 'sounds great'. The hardcoded subtitle on the video reads 'Hey Huaqiang Sarilang~', which plays on the popular homophone pun that 'Sarilang' sounds identical to the 'someone is killed' line from the original scene, creating a comedic cross-over effect with the folk song *The Fiery Sarilang*.

This meme uses the popular Mocking SpongeBob format to joke about tensions around the strategic Hormuz Strait shipping lane. The top text first quotes a statement attributed to Donald Trump claiming "The Hormuz Strait situation is over", followed by a sarcastic restatement of the same line attributed to Iran, written in alternating upper and lower case, a common internet convention for mocking speech. Below the text is a distorted, dazed-looking image of SpongeBob SquarePants, the standard visual component of the Mocking SpongeBob meme used to emphasize sarcastic rejection of the prior statement. The title references the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, implying the status of the Hormuz Strait situation is ambiguously both resolved and unresolved depending on which party's perspective is considered.

This is a dark humor illustrated meme that shows a cross-section of an earthen hill. At the top, above the dirt, a limp, unresponsive young woman lies prone on the grass. Centered over the dirt layer between the top and bottom sections, large bold white text reads 'WE STILL TALK ABOUT YOU'. At the bottom, inside a man-made tunnel dug into the hill under the woman, a group of men styled like heavy metal musicians stand facing the direction of the woman above. The joke has a dark, slightly unsettling tone, with the implication that the men live under the dead woman's grave and still regularly talk about her.

This meme is a screenshot of a Twitter/X thread that jokes about common incel narratives regarding men messaging women online. The first tweet opens with the line 'truly only two types of men in the world', and displays a screenshot of two incoming text messages to a woman's phone: the first message from an unknown, unsaved number politely asks 'Whats your go to meal from McDonalds', while the second message from a saved contact (marked with an initial 'S') is an unsolicited aggressive sexual comment reading 'Lemme fuck the shit outta you'. A reply tweet adds the punchline 'notice which guy got the saved contact', pointing out the twist that the sexually aggressive message came from a man the woman already knows (and has saved in her contacts) rather than a random stranger, poking fun at common incel ideas about who behaves this way toward women.
