This is a 4-panel meme using scenes from the American sitcom *Two and a Half Men*. The first panel shows Alan Harper, with the poster for the film *Desert Warrior* covering his face, sitting at a table holding a beer and saying "I think I forgot something." The second panel shows Charlie Harper sitting across from him, holding a beer, with text above him reading "$150 million budget", and his dialogue stating "If you forgot, then it wasn't important." The third panel shows the *Desert Warrior*-headed character agreeing, saying "Yeah, you're right." The fourth and final panel shows Jake Harper standing outside holding a soccer ball, with the label "Marketing" above his head, revealing that the film's $150 million budget completely neglected to allocate any funds to marketing, a common joke about big-budget films that underperform commercially because general audiences are unaware they exist.

So where did the budget go?

This image shows two adjacent large outdoor billboards mounted on an urban apartment building. The left billboard is official promotional material for the *Deadpool & Wolverine* Marvel movie: it displays Deadpool in his signature red suit and Wolverine in his iconic yellow suit walking side-by-side, with the headline 'COME TOGETHER', the movie title, and the release date 'IN THEATERS JULY 26'. The right adjacent billboard is an advertisement for Heinz condiments, featuring a red Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle and yellow Heinz Yellow Mustard bottle arranged in the exact same side-by-side layout, perfectly mirroring the two superheroes' colors and positioning. The Heinz ad reads 'NOW YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT', 'KETCHUP & MUSTARD', and Heinz's tagline 'IT HAS TO BE HEINZ'. The humor comes from the perfect (either accidental or intentionally coordinated) visual parallel that creates a clever cross-marketing gag, where once you notice the similarity you cannot unsee it.

A meme featuring a satirical list titled 'Easiest ways to get rich' with seven points mocking how different demographics are targeted through marketing (e.g., 'Sell men lust', 'Sell women beauty', 'Sell Geeks funko pops and labubus'), followed by the commentary 'Same game. Different packaging.' Below the text is an animated image of the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series, sitting in a dilapidated alley with hands clasped, smirking schemingly, which reinforces the cynical tone of the message.

A two-panel meme comparing consumer reactions to prices as perceived by companies. The top section displays the text '20$' alongside a close-up image of Michael Scott (from The Office) making an angry and displeased facial expression, implying companies believe consumers view $20 as expensive. The bottom section shows '19.99$' with Michael Scott looking shocked and excited, humorously suggesting companies think consumers perceive $19.99 as significantly cheaper than $20 despite the minimal 1-cent difference.
