This is a 4-panel satirical meme. The first panel introduces the topic with the text 'SIGNS OF A STROKE'. The next three panels display common recognized stroke symptoms paired with illustrations: first, 'TWISTED MOUTH' showing a person's misaligned mouth, second, 'ARM PARALYSIS' showing a person with a limp, non-functional arm, third, 'INCOHERENT SPEECH' with the character saying 'I can't wait to see another Disney live action remake'. The joke frames wanting to watch Disney's often criticized live action remakes of classic animated films as a nonsensical, abnormal position equivalent to a stroke symptom, mocking the fact that these remakes are widely considered inferior to their original animated counterparts.

This is an edited meme that pastes the head of animated DC character Wonder Woman onto the body of the classic Bad Luck Brian meme character, against a plain purple background. White bold text at the top reads 'IS SUPER STRONG', while matching text at the bottom reads 'AFFECTED BY A SEXIST WEAKNESS WITH SYMBOLIC MEANING'. The joke acts as a critical commentary: it highlights the discrepancy between Wonder Woman's canonical super strength and the often sexist, poorly thought out narrative weaknesses written for her character, while also mocking the common misinformed take that refers to Wonder Woman as simply a 'female Superman' without acknowledging the different, often problematic, writing choices applied to her as a female superhero.

This is a popular reaction meme that uses the viral photograph of an unimpressed bald Pakistani cricket fan sitting in stadium stands with his hands on his hips, surrounded by other spectators including some wearing clothing printed with the Pakistan flag. The bottom caption describes the relatable childhood frustration of watching a movie where the protagonist gives up the goal they spent the entire film pursuing in the final act. The original poster of this meme specifically calls out the *Cars* animated film franchise as an example of this trope, referencing the ending of the first *Cars* film where Lightning McQueen gives up winning the Piston Cup to help an older racer finish his final race, a choice that many young viewers found disappointing as children.
