The meme features a photograph of two people playing a split-screen local multiplayer video game on a television. A large divider covered in crumpled aluminum foil is placed between the two players to block their view of each other's half of the screen, preventing screen-peeking, which is the act of looking at an opponent's screen to gain an unfair advantage in the game. The text at the top of the meme references the nostalgic experience of playing local split-screen multiplayer games that was common before online multiplayer became the standard for most video games.

This is a relatable gaming meme centered on the common trope of player 2 receiving an inferior controller. The top of the meme features text reading "I got an extra controller for you", followed by the line "The controller:" above a photograph of a fully disassembled, casing-free game controller circuit board with loose detached components including a single joystick, separate rubber button pads, and exposed electronic parts that appear completely non-functional. The joke plays on the widespread experience of second players in local multiplayer games being given low-quality, broken, or barely usable extra controllers by the primary player.

The meme features a photograph of two young men playing a local multiplayer first-person shooter video game. To avoid the common cheating tactic of screen-peeking (looking at the other player's section of the split-screen TV), they have created a low-cost DIY setup: a large board covered in reflective foil is propped up over the head of the player sitting directly in front of the TV, angled so the second player sitting off to the right can view a mirrored feed of his own section of the screen, without being able to see the first player's side. Text at the top of the image reads 'These dudes know what's up', framing the setup as a clever anti-cheat solution as referenced in the original Reddit post title.
