This image shows a custom printed iPhone case featuring a still of Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Matrix from the 1985 action movie Commando, holding a large firearm aimed directly forward. The design is intentionally positioned so the iPhone's rear triple camera bump lines up perfectly with the barrel of the gun Schwarzenegger is holding, creating a humorous visual effect that makes it appear as if the phone's camera lenses are the end of the weapon barrel he is aiming.

This meme uses an iconic high-action chase scene from the 2015 film *Mad Max: Fury Road*, where members of the fictional War Boys faction ride on extremely long, flexible poles mounted atop moving post-apocalyptic vehicles surrounding a large central armored war rig truck. The overlaid text sarcastically comments on rising global gasoline prices: it first acknowledges that gas is costly, then jokes that the extreme, absurd measures (represented by the outlandish pole riders) people are taking to deal with high fuel costs have become completely unmanageable.

This comedic edited meme depicts a UK police officer kneeling in a foggy wooded area, smiling at the Black Knight character from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*. The Black Knight, who has a visible bloody stump where his arm has been cut off, has a speech bubble stating 'I've been stabbed!'. The responding police officer's speech bubble reads 'LOL, I don't think you have, mate. Put your hands behind your back.'. The gag subverts the original Monty Python scene where the Black Knight repeatedly downplays his own severe, obvious injuries, here flipping the joke so the officer dismisses the knight's very clear injury as he tries to arrest him. A watermark reading 'TUCKERED' is visible in the bottom right corner.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. At the top of the image, black text reads 'When 5-year-old me and bro get in the van and there is no candy'. Below the text is a still shot from the 1995 comedy film *Friday*, showing two Black male characters: one in the background wearing a green and dark blue pom-pom beanie and sunglasses with a serious, unimpressed expression, and one in the foreground wearing a brown cap backwards with a shocked, wide-eyed, open-mouthed panicked expression. The meme uses dark humor to play on the common parental safety warning for children not to accept candy from strangers or get into strangers' vehicles, humorously exaggerating the immediate regret and panic kids would feel if they fell for the lure and discovered there was no candy as promised, by pairing the relatable childhood scenario with the overly dramatic, intimidating reaction shot from the film.

This meme has two core sections: the top text reads "Me @ the sky waiting for the thunderstorm", followed by a still of the spoiled young boy character from *Shrek Forever After* holding a large red and white swirly lollipop with a demanding, insistent expression. Text overlaid on the character still says "Do the roar.". The joke plays on the relatable experience of people who enjoy thunderstorms eagerly anticipating loud thunder, comparing this eager expectation to the boy's repeated demand that Shrek roar for him in the original film scene.

This is a two-part reaction meme. The top text poses the question "How are Harambe memes still popular?", followed by the label "Me:" to indicate the poster's reaction. The reaction image is an edited scene from the 1993 film The Sandlot: the ghost of Babe Ruth, originally in the scene, is edited to have the face of Harambe the gorilla, and glows brightly as he stands in a doorway facing a person whose back is to the viewer. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die", implying that Harambe has become a legendary figure in internet culture whose popularity persists through memes years after his death.

This is a humorous meme that pairs a top text caption with a dramatic still from a sci-fi movie. The image shows a dying astronaut wearing a space suit, seated in a spacecraft cockpit with his eyes half closed, appearing to be on the brink of death. The caption jokes that the last surviving Wikipedia editor is using his final moments to edit the phrase "Humanity is" to "Humanity was" on Wikipedia as human civilization ends. The joke pokes fun at the common stereotype of Wikipedia volunteer editors being extremely dedicated to factual and grammatical accuracy, even in the most extreme, apocalyptic scenarios.

This meme uses a forced perspective optical illusion for humorous effect. A scene from the 2011 film *Drive* showing Ryan Gosling as the Driver sitting in a car is visible through a real car window. A person standing outside the physical car has pressed their leg against the window, creating the illusion that a large, disembodied leg is sitting in the passenger seat next to Gosling in the movie scene. Gosling's character appears to look directly at the fake leg with a slightly alarmed neutral expression, paired with the title "I'd run for my life" to emphasize the absurd, unsettling vibe of the gag.

This is an animated meme featuring a scene from the 2004 film *I, Robot*, with repeated text overlay that reads "when an ai chat bot asks me 'are you human'". The content shows Will Smith's character Del Spooner pointing a gun at a line of identical robots, firing at one robot which then collapses, as all surrounding robots turn to look at the fallen unit. The joke pokes fun at the common frustrating experience of being asked to verify you are a human by AI chatbots and CAPTCHA systems, implying that instead of completing a standard verification task, the user aggressively eliminates the AI that questioned their humanity.

This is a single-panel meme using a screenshot from the 2010 animated film *Megamind*. The scene shows the character Megamind holding a large, cylindrical weapon pressed directly to the face of the superhero Metro Man, who is firing bright red laser beams out of his eyes in reaction. A civilian hides behind a stone ledge in the background, shielding their head. Text overlaid on the bottom of the image reads 'How covid tests GENUINELY felt in 2020' followed by a crying face emoji and a broken heart emoji. The joke uses the exaggerated, painful-looking scene to satirize the widely shared discomfort of nasopharyngeal swab COVID-19 tests that were commonly administered during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, comparing the deep nasal insertion of the swab to having a large device forced into one's face and shooting pain into the brain.

This is a social media post screenshot meme. The top of the post shows the username "fuckitimarobot" with a robot avatar, followed by the caption stating the below scene is one of the most unexpectedly creepy in cinematic history. Below the caption is a low-quality, blurry film screenshot: a green-skinned humanoid figure walks slowly forward from the side of a light-colored house wall next to a brown wooden door, partially obscured by green foliage, with a white car partially visible to the left of the door. The joke plays on the simultaneously uncanny, creepy, and absurdly humorous nature of the out-of-context viral movie scene that appears unexpectedly in its original film.

This is a 3-panel sarcastic meme using footage from the 1995 film *Braveheart*. The first panel shows a -50% discount label in the top left, with the character William Wallace yelling 'HOLD!' to tell viewers not to purchase the product yet. The second panel shows the discount increasing to -70%, with Wallace again yelling 'HOLD!' to continue waiting for a better deal. The third panel shows the discount hitting -95%, with Wallace yelling 'SUPPORT THE DEVS!' as he and his army charge forward to make the purchase. The joke relies on sarcasm: the action of waiting for the steepest possible discount, which minimizes the amount of revenue developers receive per sale, is ironically framed as a way to support game developers.
