The meme has text at the top that reads "When you accidentally used the wrong taunt in lobby" over a real photograph taken at an HBO Ballers press event. In the photo, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a tall, muscular public figure, stares intensely, unamused, at a shorter man standing in front of him who looks up at Johnson with an awkward, tense expression. The joke is relatable to online multiplayer gamers: when a player uses a disrespectful taunt in a pre-game lobby, only to realize they are facing a far more skilled or intimidating opponent, leading to immediate regret and awkwardness, represented by the power dynamic between the two men in the photo.

This is a two-panel meme using footage from the US sitcom The Office to deliver a relatable joke about online gaming experiences. In the first panel, character Jim Halpert asks Dwight Schrute "So, do you like playing with other people?". The second panel cuts to a close-up of Dwight, who is labeled as representing "Online Gamers:", and he replies "I like the idea of it more than I actually like it.". The joke refers to the common experience of many online gamers who are drawn to the concept of multiplayer social gaming, but frequently find the actual experience of playing with other people online (due to issues like player toxicity, uncooperative teammates, or social awkwardness) far less enjoyable than they expected.

This is a 3-panel relatable wholesome gaming meme. The first panel opens with text at the top stating 'When you beat the other team so badly one of your opponents sends a friend request', paired with a shot of Carly Shay from the show iCarly sitting in front of a CRT monitor holding a soda, with a skeptical amused smirk and overlaid text 'Interesting', conveying the common initial expectation that the opponent wants to harass or argue after the loss. The second panel has text that reads 'But they end up saying gg and giving you a much needed compliment', setting up the unexpected nice turn of events. The third panel shows the popular crying gamer kitten meme: a teary-eyed white kitten holding an Xbox 360 controller, conveying that the user is emotionally touched and caught off guard by the kind, sportsmanlike gesture from the opponent.

This is a text-based setup meme joking about bad matchmaking in online multiplayer games. The top of the image has a white bar with the setup text: "Pov: When your skills are so good that the game developers start matching you with players who haven't seen the sun:", followed by a large blank black space that acts as the lead-up to the punchline. The phrase "haven't seen the sun" normally refers to people who game constantly and never go outside, but the original post's title adds the punchline that flips the meaning: these matched teammates are so inexperienced and unskilled that they have never even seen the game before.
