This is a two-panel comparison meme joking about the common trope of absurdly overpowered school bullies in Korean webtoons (manhwa). The left panel labeled 'SCHOOL BULLY' features Homer Simpson from *The Simpsons* laughing mockingly while pointing, representing a normal, average school bully that is just a minor troublemaker, with the text 'HA HA!' showing his mocking laughter. The right panel labeled 'SCHOOL BULLY IN KOREAN WEBCOMIC' shows an entire crowd of iconic DC Comics supervillains (including the Joker, Sinestro, Darkseid, and other world-level threats) to exaggerate how Korean webtoon school bullies are almost always ridiculously powerful, connected to massive evil conspiracies, and effectively supervillains rather than regular school troublemakers. The joke relies on exaggerating a widely recognized trope in manhwa where even low-level antagonistic bullies are often extremely dangerous and overpowered.

This edited meme uses a popular candid photo template of two men sitting next to each other on public transit to joke about a common occurrence on X/Twitter. The man on the left, focused on his phone, is labeled to represent 'Racist Japanese people on Twitter', marked with a purple chat-style diamond. The man on the right holds up his phone labeled 'Translate post' pointing toward the left man's phone, with a red arrow reinforcing the connection. The joke references how non-Japanese speaking users on Twitter use the platform's built-in translate feature to read and expose problematic/racist posts originally written in Japanese that would otherwise be unreadable to them.

This meme is a screenshot of a Twitter/X thread that jokes about common incel narratives regarding men messaging women online. The first tweet opens with the line 'truly only two types of men in the world', and displays a screenshot of two incoming text messages to a woman's phone: the first message from an unknown, unsaved number politely asks 'Whats your go to meal from McDonalds', while the second message from a saved contact (marked with an initial 'S') is an unsolicited aggressive sexual comment reading 'Lemme fuck the shit outta you'. A reply tweet adds the punchline 'notice which guy got the saved contact', pointing out the twist that the sexually aggressive message came from a man the woman already knows (and has saved in her contacts) rather than a random stranger, poking fun at common incel ideas about who behaves this way toward women.

This is a popular 'nobody:' format meme mocking social media influencers based in Dubai. The meme places the well-known crying scene of Cassie Howard from Euphoria under the top text 'nobody: Influencers in Dubai:', with Cassie saying through hysterical tears 'I have never, ever been happier.' The joke plays on the common online observation that Dubai-based influencers constantly post overly curated, fake content pretending they are extremely happy and successful, while they are actually unhappy and putting on a false front for their followers. The 'nobody:' format indicates no one even asked influencers to display this fake happiness, it is just their default online behavior.
