This meme uses a classic scene from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Mr. Krabs, a character famous for his obsession with money, who is shown reclining happily in a huge pile of green dollar bills while holding a bill in his claw. Overlaid white text at the bottom reads 'how i feel getting my first paycheck', humorously depicting the exaggerated, overwhelming joy and feeling of extreme wealth people experience when receiving their first ever salary. The original title of the meme draws an additional parallel, comparing this giddy feeling to being as wealthy as famous billionaire Jeff Bezos.

This is a two-panel relatable pun meme. The top panel shows overlapping embroidery on light beige fabric: two layered phrases are visible, with darker lettering reading "She's broken because she lived" and lighter golden lettering reading "She broke because she believed", playing on the shared letters between the words 'believed' and 'lived'. The bottom panel shows a plain metal cooking pot lid, with the text "I'm okay" printed above it. The humor comes from the pun: 'lid' sounds phonetically similar to 'lived', implying the poster is using the 'lid' (metaphor for covering up their feelings) to pretend they are unharmed, even though they have also lived through difficult, potentially breaking experiences just like the person referenced in the top text.

This two-part meme humorously references the changing classification status of the dwarf planet Pluto. The top section is labeled 'Pluto in 1930', showing a blonde bearded Nordic Chad meme character telling Pluto 'Congratulations, you're a planet' in reference to Pluto being discovered and classified as a full planet in 1930. The bottom section is labeled 'Pluto in 2006', where the same character addresses Pluto with 'Bro... I have some bad news' referencing the 2006 International Astronomical Union decision that reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet, revoking its status as a full planet in the solar system. The joke plays on the widespread public affection for Pluto and the common lighthearted discourse surrounding its demotion.

This is a two-panel relatable humor meme. The first panel shows a first-person perspective from inside a work bathroom stall, with the poster's legs and feet visible on tiled bathroom floors, and their hands casting shadow puppet shapes on the ground. The overlaid text asks if viewers have ever done a shadow puppet show while using the toilet at work. The second panel shows the same view, but now an extra pair of hand shadows from the adjacent bathroom stall is visible also making shadow puppet shapes, with text revealing the realization that the person in the next stall saw the entire silly activity and joined in. The joke centers on the relatable experience of doing mindless silly things to pass time at work, followed by the awkward but funny realization a stranger witnessed your behavior.

This is a two-panel vertical collage of real pet cats. The top panel captures an orange tabby cat halfway climbing into a brown wicker basket shaped like a whale, with only its hind legs, tail, and back half visible as it steps into the basket opening. The bottom panel shows the same orange cat fully tucked inside the whale basket, with only its head poking out looking smug and content, while a second white cat with orange patches lies lazily next to the basket on a polished wooden table, looking half-asleep. The background features a decorative wall printed with ink wash style East Asian landscape art of mountains and trees, alongside sliding door hardware. The humor comes from the silly visual effect of the cat inside the whale basket resembling a mermaid cat, as well as the relatable, amusing cat behavior of squeezing into any available small container.

The meme features a real Siberian Husky posed as a teacher or professor, wearing rectangular glasses, a white formal collar, and a black bowtie, sitting upright on a dark floor in front of a wheeled standing whiteboard.

This image is a screenshot of a 2018 Twitter (now X) thread. In the first tweet, verified user Matt Crowley mixes two Greek mythology-derived idioms for comedic effect, stating 'Not knowing about Greek mythology is my Achilles' Horse', incorrectly combining 'Achilles' Heel' (a common term for a personal weak point) and the Trojan Horse myth. Verified user Bryn Stole replies with a single exasperated 'Matt.' to call out the mixed idiom. Crowley then leans into the joke, replying 'Uh oh, I've really opened a Pandora's Labyrinth here', another deliberate incorrect mix of the idioms 'Pandora's Box' (a source of unforeseen widespread trouble) and the Labyrinth of Crete from Greek myth. The humor stems from the self-aware mangling of widely recognized cultural references to create absurd new mixed phrases.

This is a single panel relatable meme using a scene from the SpongeBob SquarePants animated series. It shows SpongeBob hiding behind his living room couch with wide, alarmed, anxious eyes looking towards his front door. Bold white overlaid text reads "Me at my big age when someone knocks on my door". The meme humorously references the common relatable feeling among adults, particularly introverts, of feeling annoyed or anxious at unplanned, unannounced visitors even when they are fully grown and expected to handle such interactions maturely.

This meme opens with the text 'Things that disappear when you need them the most' at the top, followed by four items laid out in a 2x2 grid. The first row contains a set of silver keys on a keyring and a brown leather wallet, two common everyday items people frequently misplace. The second row contains a screenshot of the animated character Aang from *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and a silver Samsung smartphone. The core joke references the show's lore, where Aang was frozen in ice and missing for 100 years, humorously grouping him with common easily lost items people struggle to find when they need them urgently.
