This is a two-panel comparison meme. The top of the meme displays text stating 'ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD'. The left panel is labeled 'REDDIT USERS', showing a real, casually dressed man smiling while browsing on his mobile phone, representing casual, occasional users of the Reddit platform who do not participate deeply in site culture. The right panel is labeled 'REDDITORS', showing an edited version of Richard Watterson from *The Amazing World of Gumball* depicted as a stereotypical extremely online Reddit power user: overweight, wearing glasses and a gaming headset, with a neckbeard, representing dedicated, long-time Reddit users who are heavily embedded in the platform's inside jokes, communities and culture. The joke lies in the exaggerated, humorous distinction drawn between casual users of the site and its most active, stereotypical core userbase.

This three-panel meme uses screenshots of Vince McMahon, former WWE CEO, to humorously depict the emotional stages users experience after being banned from a Reddit subreddit. The top panel shows Vince with digitally added glowing red eyes and an open, shocked/angry mouth, paired with the caption 'When you first get banned from a Subreddit'—capturing the initial intense anger or disbelief.

The bottom panel shows Vince with a bored, indifferent facial expression, captioned '1 month later'—illustrating the long-term feeling of apathy towards the past ban.
