This is a dark mode screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post. The post is published by the verified account "Cursed Posts", whose profile picture features a popular unimpressed, skeptical Black man reaction image. The text of the post reads "hey there delilah can i borrow 20 dollars", which is a humorous pun modifying the opening line of the famous 2006 romantic pop song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's, replacing the expected heartfelt lyrics with a silly, mundane request to borrow money. The juxtaposition of the iconic song line with the casual, unexpected request, paired with the unimpressed profile picture, creates the comedic effect of the meme.

This is a single-panel humorous meme featuring a candid photo of rapper Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a white t-shirt, looking down with a concentrated, thoughtful expression as if he is trying hard to recall something. The overlaid text at the top reads: 'Dad's ravioli? Nah. Grandma's gnocchi? Nope. Come on Marshall, think...' The joke is a direct reference to the famous line about 'mom's spaghetti' from Eminem's iconic 2002 song Lose Yourself, which is a widely referenced meme lyric. The meme teases Marshall to remember the well-known pasta associated with his music, rather than the other Italian pasta dishes made by other family members listed.

This meme features a text setup above a humorous photo of a real toad sitting upright on a small plastic toy horse as if it is riding the horse. The text reads: first, a comment from another person: 'You laugh at the stupidest things', the narrator replies 'Me: No I don't', then the text reveals the absurd thing the narrator finds funny: 'Take Me Home, Country Toad'. The joke is a pun on the iconic John Denver country song title 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', swapping 'Roads' for 'Toad' to match the visual of the toad posed as a country rider on horseback, which is intentionally absurd and silly to elicit laughter.

This is a single-panel adult humor meme. The top of the image has black text reading 'When you finally have sex with a girl who squirts✨' next to sparkle emojis. Below this text is a still shot of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, soaking wet, standing on an overcast beach from the band's 'Yellow' music video. Yellow text overlaid on the lower part of the image reads 'It was all yellow.', which is a famous lyric from the song of the same name. The joke is a double entendre: the lyric 'yellow' is repurposed to humorously imply that the squirting that occurred during sex was actually urination (which is commonly associated with a yellow color), referencing the widespread online debate and myth that female ejaculation/squirting contains urine.

This is a single-panel pun meme featuring a real photo of a fluffy white cat with light orange patches on its head. The cat is poking its upper body out of a gap in a dark brown brick wall, resting its two front paws on the brick below the gap, and looking upwards with a wide-eyed, curious, slightly startled expression. White bold text is overlaid at the top and bottom of the image: the top line reads 'All in all I'm just ...', and the bottom line completes the phrase with 'another cat in the wall.' The text is a direct parody of the famous lyric 'All in all you're just another brick in the wall' from Pink Floyd's iconic 1979 song *Another Brick in the Wall*, replacing 'brick' with 'cat' to match the visual of a cat emerging from a wall, creating a silly pun joke.

This meme uses a widely recognized still from the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, showing lead character Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) standing triumphantly with outstretched arms before an adoring, cheering crowd. Large impact font text is overlaid at the top and bottom: the top text reads 'TRIANGLE MAN' and the bottom text reads 'AFTER BEATING PARTICLE MAN AND PERSON MAN'. The joke relies on niche pop culture knowledge of the 1990 alternative rock song 'Particle Man' by They Might Be Giants, which features the characters Triangle Man, Particle Man, Person Man, and Universe Man, with lyrics repeatedly stating that Triangle Man beats the other two characters in fights. The original Reddit post title notes that 'ball knowledge' (obscure, niche cultural knowledge) is required to understand the joke.

This meme uses a red carpet photograph of singer Katy Perry, who is wearing an orange embellished cutout dress and smiling while posing in front of an American Idol/ABC event backdrop. The top text uses the famous lyric from Katy Perry's hit debut single 'I Kissed a Girl': 'I kissed a girl and i liked it'. The bottom text delivers a shocking, darkly humorous twist, stating 'But she didnt and sued me for sexual assault', subverting the playful, consensual tone of the original song lyric for comedic shock value.

This is a 6-panel classic rage comic. In the first panel, a woman asks her male partner to sing a lullaby for their swaddled baby, and he agrees. In the next three panels, he repeatedly sings the opening lyric 'Let the bodies hit the floor' from the aggressive 2001 heavy metal song 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool, which is completely unsuitable for a baby lullaby, as the woman's expression shifts from confused to alarmed. The fifth panel shows the woman screaming in unbridled rage, represented by the iconic red rage face. In the final panel, the partner looks horrified and the baby is crying hysterically due to the inappropriate, loud 'lullaby'.

This is an edited comedic meme using the official 2008 cover art for Katy Perry's debut album *One of the Boys*, which originally promoted her hit lead single 'I Kissed a Girl' famous for the lyric 'I kissed a girl and I liked it'. The meme edits this lyric to read 'I kissed a girl and I fucking hated it', subverting the original song's premise for humor. Katy Perry is shown posed lounging on a sunbed in a kitschy retro garden with a white picket fence, pink lawn flamingos, and flowers behind her, wearing a large blue wide-brimmed hat, red polka dot crop top, and high-waisted denim shorts. The post title 'i hope her ex don't mind it' frames the joke as a reference to a woman who experimented with same-sex romance and realized she is not attracted to women, referring to her former female partner as the 'ex' in question.

This is an edited comedic meme based on a US government press briefing scene. The speaker, a composite edited to combine the appearance of a formal government official with industrial metal band Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen's features (dreadlocks, multiple facial piercings, visible tattoos across the neck, hands, and chest under a formal blue suit), stands at a podium marked with an edited seal reading "DEPARTMENT OF WAR". The text below the image quotes a nonsensical lyric line: "So there was only one thing that I could do was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long", which is incorrectly attributed to "Psalm 69". The joke comes from the contrast between the stuffy, formal government press setting and the aggressive, silly metal lyrics presented as a Christian Bible verse, referencing Ministry's 1992 album *Psalm 69: The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste* where the quoted lyrics from the track "Jesus Built My Hotrod" originate.

This meme has two sections: the left side displays a reaction image of a hooded man with his lower face covered, looking wide-eyed and shocked. The right side shows a screenshot of a text message exchange: the first two messages from the drunk texter say 'Pick me up' and 'I'm drunk', the recipient replies 'Where are you now?', and the drunk texter responds 'I love that song'. The recipient's 'Where are you now?' message is circled in red with a red arrow pointing to it to highlight the joke: 'Where are you now?' is an iconic lyric from Alan Walker's famous EDM track 'Faded', and the intoxicated person is so disoriented they recognize the line as a song reference before processing it is a genuine question asking for their location. The shocked reaction image on the left represents the recipient's bewildered reaction to the off-topic reply.

This meme jokes about modern inflation and rising gas prices, referencing Bryan Adams' famous song *Summer of '69*. It features the teasing anime character Takagi from *Teasing Master Takagi-san* smiling at the viewer in a classroom. Large overlaid text reads 'REMINDER THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON' at the top, and 'AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK' at the bottom. An inset screenshot of an old gas station price menu shows full-service gas ranging from $0.54 9/10 to $0.79 9/10 per gallon, an incredibly low price compared to modern costs. The wordplay ties the '69 song reference to the low vintage prices, teasing viewers that they can never get these cheap gas prices again.
