This meme pairs official Nintendo art of Princess Daisy kissing Wario on the cheek, where Wario displays an uncomfortable, strained wide grin. The top text above the art reads "me when my dog kisses me after a long day of licking it's own ass", and smaller text at the bottom of the art reads "Thank you, WARIO...". The crude, relatable pet owner joke has an extra humorous layer from the original poster's clarification: they identify as the dog (the character giving the kiss, Daisy) rather than the grossed out uncomfortable recipient (Wario), flipping the expected interpretation of the reaction image.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template. The left panel features a cheerful, normal render of Mr. Incredible paired with text expressing a common misconception: 'aww, Nintendo had such a wholesome beginning in the early 80's with children's games and characters in video games'. The right panel features a dark, unsettling half-shadowed black and white edit of Mr. Incredible paired with correcting text that reads 'Nintendo DID NOT start in the 1980's'. The joke plays on the lesser-known fact that Nintendo was founded much earlier, in 1889, originally as a playing card manufacturer, contrasting the common public perception of Nintendo as a modern 1980s video game company focused on family-friendly content.

This is a side-by-side comparison meme following the viral DLSS 5 On format. On the left is a fan-made cover for *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition) labeled 'DLSS 5 OFF', and on the right is the official Nintendo Switch cover for Palworld labeled 'DLSS 5 ON'. The meme jokes that Palworld, the popular Pokémon-like survival game, is the 'AI-enhanced DLSS 5 enabled' superior version of modern Pokémon games, fitting the format's satire of AI over-altering original content by replacing the original Pokémon game with Palworld as the polished 'DLSS 5 On' result. The screenshot is of a Spanish-language X (Twitter) post from user @semonster66, with the post caption 'Así si, DLSS 5' (translated: 'Yes, like this, DLSS 5').

This is a side-by-side comparison meme following the viral DLSS 5 On meme format. The left panel displays the classic 8-bit pixel art portrait of Mario from original Nintendo Super Mario games, labeled "DLSS 5 off". The right panel shows an uncanny hyper-realistic, photorealistic version of Mario modeled after Chris Pratt's portrayal in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, labeled "DLSS 5 on". The meme satirizes Nvidia's newly announced DLSS 5 generative AI graphics technology, joking that instead of just upscaling, it drastically alters original content into over-polished, unnatural AI-generated versions.

This is a two-panel edited gaming meme. The top panel features actor Chris Pratt (who was cast as the voice of Mario in the 2023 *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*) edited with Mario's iconic red cap, nose, and mustache, with overlaid text asking 'Who the hell are you?'. The bottom panel edits the anthropomorphic Nintendo character Fox McCloud's head onto a serious action movie body, with the text response: 'Fox McCloud. I'm here to talk to you about the Smash Bros initiative.'. The joke relies on the fact that Chris Pratt is also the voice actor for Fox McCloud, creating a meta joke about the same actor playing two popular Nintendo characters that both appear in the Super Smash Bros crossover series.

This meme satirizes the common internet criticism that review outlet IGN applies overly harsh, adult-focused standards to children's and family-friendly movies. The top text shows an exaggerated fake IGN review complaining that a children's movie isn't deep enough, demands that it include heavy philosophical themes and mature dramatic scenes, and gives it a very low 2/10 rating. Below the text is official promotional art for the 2023 *Super Mario Bros. Movie*, a lighthearted family film that IGN gave a below-average score to in real life, which this meme references. The joke pokes fun at the absurdity of expecting deep mature themes from a kids' movie that exists primarily to be fun and accessible for all ages.

This is a three-panel meme taken from footage of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie premiere. The first panel shows actor Jack Black (who voiced Bowser in the movie) being interviewed by Access Hollywood on the red carpet. The second panel shifts focus down to show Shigeru Miyamoto, the original creator of the Mario franchise, standing quietly unnoticed in the background of the shot. The third panel edits Miyamoto's face into the popular 'they don't know' party meme format, with the text 'They don't know / I literally made Mario', making an ironic joke that the actual creator of Mario is present but overshadowed by the movie's stars at the premiere event.

This wojak-style meme depicts the long-running 'console war' rivalry between major gaming platforms. Stick figures representing Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox shoot each other at point-blank range, both suffering fatal wounds with large blood splatters. Two other platforms, Nintendo hiding behind its logo at the top and Valve's PC platform Steam in the bottom right, look on with confused, concerned expressions. The joke implies that the two largest console rivals destroy each other, leaving Nintendo and Steam as the remaining winners of the conflict. The original post was titled 'Just why'.

This is a collage meme set against a bright cloudy sky representing Heaven, filled with cutouts of dozens of famous deceased celebrities, public figures, and popular pop culture icons that have died. Prominently featured at the bottom center is Chuck Norris. The joke behind this image plays on the long-running classic 'Chuck Norris Facts' internet meme trope, which claims Chuck Norris is so impossibly tough and invincible that he cannot be killed by Death; instead, Chuck Norris killed Death itself. Now Death itself is dead and has arrived in Heaven, meaning Death has now 'had a Chuck Norris experience' (i.e., been killed by Chuck Norris like he kills everyone else), joining all the people Death previously claimed. The collage humorously includes all sorts of deceased famous figures from Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Queen Elizabeth II, Betty White, Robin Williams to internet icons like Harambe the gorilla, even the discontinued Nintendo Wii U console as a 'dead' product.

This is a humorous parody diagram styled as an internal breakdown of a vacuum cleaner, titled 'Inside Your Vacuum Cleaner'. The meme replaces the core suction mechanism of the vacuum with Kirby, the iconic pink Nintendo character famous for his ability to inhale almost any object. The diagram labels standard vacuum components: Intake Port (sucking in 'DUST'), Rotating Brush, Electric Motor, and Fan, while framing Kirby as the central active part of the device, shown with a strained, effortful expression as if he's performing the vacuum's suction function. The visual joke and wordplay come from the direct parallel between Kirby's defining in-game trait of inhaling items and a vacuum cleaner's purpose of sucking up dirt and debris, humorously implying that Kirby is the actual power behind how vacuums work.

This meme uses the classic 'Four Horsemen' template, a play on the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' trope, to highlight four iconic video game soundtracks that are extremely prevalent in YouTube content. The four entries are: 1. **Hollow Knight**: A critically acclaimed indie game with an atmospheric, emotionally resonant soundtrack frequently used in ambient gameplay, edit, and analysis videos. 2. **Super Mario Odyssey**: A mainstream Nintendo platformer with upbeat, recognizable tracks that appear in casual gaming highlights, upbeat edits, and family-friendly content. 3. **Pokémon Black & White**: A beloved entry in the Pokémon franchise with a nostalgic, memorable soundtrack often featured in nostalgia-focused Pokémon content, edits, and compilation videos. 4. **Undertale**: A cultural indie hit with a legendary soundtrack that is ubiquitous in YouTube edits, meme content, and analysis videos due to its wide-reaching impact and emotional depth. The joke leans into the relatable experience for YouTube viewers and gamers, who will instantly recognize how often these soundtracks are used across the platform, framing them as the 'dominant' forces in gaming-related YouTube audio.

The image features a vintage 1990s photograph of a mother seated on a couch, intently playing a Nintendo Game Boy (presumably Super Mario Land, as noted in the top caption). She is surrounded by four children who lean in closely from different angles, their faces showing focused, engaged expressions as they watch her play. The top text overlay reads: 'A mom helping her kids beat a hard level in Super Mario Land, 1990s.' Below the photo, a user comment from 'emily84' states: 'this is a renaissance painting', which is the core joke of the meme. The humor comes from the unexpected visual parallel between the composition of the casual family photo—with the central mother figure and the grouped, attentive children—and the structured, centered compositions of classic Renaissance artworks, often used for religious or formal family portraits. The meme blends 1990s gaming nostalgia, wholesome family moments, and art history humor.
