This is a 4-panel edited comic meme. Panel 1: A cartoon man asks a humanoid figure whose face is labeled 'Free [...] test' why it always wears that mask, with 'Free online test' written above the speech bubble. Panel 2: The man reaches to pull off the figure's mask. Panel 3: When the mask is lifted, the figure's actual face underneath is revealed to be labeled 'Free test, paid result'. Panel 4: The man puts the mask back on the figure, saying 'LET'S KEEP THIS ON.' The joke satirizes predatory free online IQ or personality test services that attract users with free access claims, but require payment to view full test results, implying the highest intelligence choice is to avoid using these services entirely.

A two-panel meme utilizing screenshots from the animated TV series 'Family Guy.' The top panel depicts two characters—Peter Griffin (in a white shirt and green pants) and an unnamed friend (in a red Hawaiian shirt)—sitting at a bar, each holding a beer mug. Overlaid text reads: 'You have reached your free article limit for today. Subscribe for unlimited access!' The bottom panel shows the same scene, with Peter gesturing animatedly and reacting with the text: 'Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? This is literally the first time I visited your site in my life!' The meme humorously critiques the frustration of encountering aggressive paywalls on news/media websites, even during a first visit, by framing the paywall message as an absurdly unwelcome 'conversation starter.'
