This two-panel meme uses the popular Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz 'two nickels' template from *Phineas and Ferb* to joke about the recent trend of AAA video games raising their standard edition price to $79.99 (colloquially referenced as $80). The first panel features Doofenshmirtz next to the official *Grand Theft Auto 6* cover art, with text stating 'If I had a nickel every time a game's standard edition started at $79.99, I'd have two nickels'. The second panel shows a confused Doofenshmirtz next to the *Mario Kart World* cover art, with the follow-up text 'Which isn't a lot but weird that the first nickel was a Mario Kart game'. The joke highlights the unexpected rise in base game pricing, and the additional surprise that a Mario Kart title was one of the first major releases to adopt the higher $80 price point before the highly anticipated GTA 6.

This is a humorous edited meme referencing the popular Mario Kart racing game franchise. The image uses a scene from the animated movie Kung Fu Panda featuring Master Oogway, who has been edited to wear Mario's signature red cap with an 'M' logo and a brown mustache to resemble the Mario character. A blue spiny shell, an infamous Mario Kart item that automatically targets and eliminates the first-place racer, floats right next to Oogway. The top text reads 'When you have been leading the Mario Kart race for 97% of the time:' and the bottom text is Oogway's famous resigned line 'My time has come.', poking fun at the extremely common, frustrating experience of leading a Mario Kart race for nearly its full duration only to be hit by a blue shell moments before the finish line, losing first place.

This meme uses a still shot of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from *Star Trek: The Next Generation* with a serious, stoic expression. Overlaid text on the left begins with a well-known inspirational quote from the character: "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is", and replaces the expected concluding word "life" with the *Mario Kart World* logo as the punchline. The joke references the widely relatable gaming experience of playing Mario Kart, where players can run a completely perfect race with no errors, only to lose at the last second due to random, unavoidable item attacks from other players, framing the game's intentional unfair randomness as the subject of Picard's quote.

This meme expresses frustration with a common perceived flaw in the Mario Kart game series. The top text states a widely held player complaint that 150cc, the highest standard difficulty mode in Mario Kart, does not actually improve the skill of AI opponents, instead rigging game mechanics like item drops and speed rubberbanding to let AI opponents win unfairly. Below this text is a well-known reaction screenshot of Wade Wilson (Deadpool) from the film Deadpool 2, wearing an unimpressed, judgmental expression, paired with the bottom text mocking game developers for taking a lazy shortcut instead of programming properly skilled AI for higher difficulty levels. The sentiment aligns with the original poster's stated feeling of wanting to punch something out of frustration at the unfair game design.
