This is a single panel meme using the iconic Grumpy Cat template. It features the famously grumpy-looking cat Tardar Sauce held by a partially visible human hand, staring at the viewer with her signature unimpressed scowl. Bold white text at the top reads 'I DIED 7 YEARS AGO AND HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF THE NEW MEMES.', with a matching one-word response at the bottom reading 'GOOD.' The joke plays on Grumpy Cat's established persona of disliking almost everything, implying that modern new memes are of such low quality that the cat is glad she did not have to experience them after her 2019 death.

This single-panel static meme features a photograph of actor Mads Mikkelsen standing in a rough light-colored stone archway, wearing a blue-grey suit over a black shirt. He has a deadpan, slightly smug expression as he looks directly at the viewer, with his right fist resting on the edge of the arch and his left hand in his suit pocket. In the bottom left corner, a small table holding liquor bottles, a cocktail shaker, and drinking glasses is visible, while a 'MAD MADS' watermark sits in the bottom right corner. Bold white text with a black outline is overlaid across the center of the image, reading: 'I post more memes than selfies because I rather see y'all smiling than falling in love'. The joke leans into the common perception of Mads Mikkelsen as very attractive, framing the poster as so desirable that posting selfies would cause viewers to develop romantic feelings for them, so they opt to post memes instead to make people happy without sparking romantic attachment, aligning with the 'bros before hoes' ethos of prioritizing platonic enjoyment over romantic connections.

This is a screenshot of a Reddit post from the subreddit r/PeterExplainsTheJoke, a community where users request explanations for jokes they do not understand. The main content of the post is a meme featuring an excited anime girl sitting at a laptop, punching her fist straight through the wall behind the laptop, leaving a large cracked hole. The text under the image reads "You opened Reddit and saw your own meme on the front page." The poster asks the subreddit (named for Family Guy's Peter) to explain why this situation is a bad thing. Below the main post, a snippet of another older Reddit post by the same user "Aderir" from r/mapporncirclejerk, titled "Europe safety 2027", is visible. The implied joke is that seeing your own meme reach Reddit's front page causes such extreme excitement and overstimulation that you lose control and punch through a wall, which is an obviously bad outcome.

This is a photograph of a framed original World War II era Norman Rockwell poster on public display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington DC. The poster uses Rockwell's iconic painting from his Four Freedoms series, with text at the top reading 'SAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH' and text at the bottom reading 'BUY WAR BONDS'. The artwork shows a working class man standing to speak at a public meeting, with other attendees around him looking up at him with respectful attention. The poster is exhibited behind glass in a museum frame, as part of the museum's historical collection.

This is a two-panel meme that uses the popular 'Distracted Boyfriend' meme template to make a joke about South American geography. The walking woman passing by is labeled 'THE PACIFIC OCEAN', the boyfriend staring at her is labeled 'ARGENTINA', and the figure pulling the boyfriend back is labeled 'CHILE'. The joke refers to the fact that the long Andes Mountain range and Chile's location along the entire Pacific coast between the Andes and the ocean means Argentina is entirely blocked from accessing the Pacific Ocean, just as the figure labeled Chile is blocking Argentina from reaching the Pacific Ocean labeled woman.

This is a reaction comparison meme that jokes about how the creator's reaction to seeing young Mary Jane Watson (from 2002's *Spider-Man*) changed between when the creator was a child and now. The top half of the meme shows the young child version of MJ from the Spider-Man flashback scene, captioned "As a child:". The bottom half splits into two reaction panels: left, a smiling closed-eye Ryan Gosling representing the creator's casual reaction when they were a child, right, an intense, stern Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman from *American Psycho*, representing the creator's current intense attracted reaction as an adult.

This meme features a large main portrait of American actor and martial artist Chuck Norris outdoors, with a smaller inset image showing an example of a classic "Chuck Norris fact" joke. The inset text reads: "CHUCK NORRIS DOESN'T DIAL THE WRONG NUMBER / YOU ANSWERED THE WRONG PHONE." The main large text at the bottom of the image states "CHUCK NORRIS' FORMER BODYGUARD SAYS CHUCK LOVED ALL THE MEMES ABOUT HIM", paired with the post's title pun: the joke is that the long-running exaggeration of Chuck Norris' legendary toughness means he did not need an external bodyguard — he was his own bodyguard. This whole post plays on the decades-old internet trend of absurd, over-the-top "Chuck Norris facts" that frame him as an almost superhuman tough guy.

This meme uses the popular blurry shocked Elmo template to create a joke combining two internet trends: classic Chuck Norris 'fact' memes that exaggerate his extreme toughness and immortality, and video game boss fight mechanics. The overlaid text reads 'Death seeing Chuck's 2nd health bar appear', which means Death (who was trying to kill Chuck Norris) is shocked to see a second health bar (a common video game trope where bosses get multiple health bars for different phases) after depleting the first. Elmo's shocked, wide-eyed expression represents Death's surprise, and the original title 'Boss music intensifies' further references the video game trope of boss music starting when a boss enters a new phase.

This meme features a real Black man with a large afro hairstyle sitting in a chair, wearing an extremely oversized suit fully patterned after the American flag, plus matching American flag sunglasses and large gold rings. The top text jokes that this absurdly over-the-top extremely patriotic American outfit is exactly how Japanese anime portray Americans, leaning into the common trope of exaggerated, over-the-top national stereotypes for foreign characters in anime.

This meme combines the popular police sketch artist meme format with the classic joke of misheard Beatles lyrics. The top text shows a witness (marked 'Me') giving an incoherent garbled description made up of famous misheard lines from Beatles songs, including mishearings from *I Am the Walrus* and *The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill*. The punchline is that when the label 'The Police Sketch Artist' is shown, the result is a photograph of celebrity Scarlett Johansson on a red carpet holding a pen and notepad, appearing to be the sketch artist (or the finished sketch matching the weird description).

The image combines a real-life photo and a Tumblr screenshot. The top section shows a grey domestic cat with its entire head stuck inside the upper storage chamber of an automatic gravity pet feeder, completely ignoring the pre-filled lower food bowl that's designed for easy access. Below the photo is a Tumblr interface screenshot, where user 'kendrug' left a comment reading 'dont tell me how to live my life'. This comment humorously personifies the cat's silly, illogical action as a human-like act of defiance, framing the cat as an independent, stubborn individual refusing to follow the intended rules for using the feeder. The visual joke comes from the absurdity of the cat's choice paired with the relatable, rebellious phrase, turning a mundane pet moment into a funny, relatable meme.

This image features a close-up shot of a flat-faced long-haired cat (likely a Himalayan breed) with its head fur standing straight up in a disheveled, spiky manner. The cat has wide, light blue eyes that amplify its startled, shocked appearance. At the bottom of the image, a white text overlay on a black bar reads: 'It looks like a cartoon bomb blew up in her face'. The visual joke here is the cat's messy fur perfectly mirroring the classic cartoon trope where a character's hair stands on end immediately after an explosion, making the caption a humorous, on-point match to the cat's natural (but exaggerated-looking) state. The cat is positioned on a blue fabric chair with a wooden frame, and sunlight hits its head, highlighting the spiky fur.
