This image is a screenshot of a social media comment thread. At the top, a question is posed: 'As a man, what im supposed to say when a girl says her period cramps are hurting?'. Below are four intentionally ridiculous, unhelpful humorous responses from different users: 1) 'Sit on the table to become a periodic table' (a pun playing on the word 'period'), 2) 'Smn literally said, "no pain no gain"', 3) 'remain calm and inform a trusted adult' (treating the minor complaint as an emergency), 4) 'Double it and give it to next Person' (a reference to a popular internet meme phrase). The humor derives from the clueless, absurdly unhelpful answers that exemplify stereotypical out-of-touch bro behavior.

This meme features a photograph of a stout, fluffy brown Shetland pony standing behind a wire fence in a dry, open grassy field with rural buildings visible in the far distance. Above the photo, text reads 'When you're built for feed not speed.' The joke plays on the common phrase 'built for speed', replacing 'speed' with 'feed' to humorously comment on the pony's plump, short build that makes it appear it prioritizes eating over being fast. The meme is relatable to people who also enjoy food more than strenuous athletic activity.

The meme consists of two parts: a top text caption that reads 'How to burn 800 calories in 30 minutes...' positioned above a close-up photograph of an extremely overcooked, heavily charred burnt pizza. The pizza's toppings and large portions of its crust are completely blackened, making it obviously inedible. The joke relies on a double meaning of the phrase 'burn calories': the caption initially leads the viewer to expect a fitness tip about expending 800 calories of bodily energy through exercise in half an hour, but the punchline reveals it instead refers to literally burning (charring via overcooking) a pizza that contains ~800 calories over 30 minutes, ruining the food entirely.

This is a 4-panel humorous comic. Panel 1: A civilian man attempts to load an oversized bundle of extra-long uncooked spaghetti into the open trunk of his SUV, with most of the spaghetti sticking far out the back of the vehicle. Panel 2: A police officer in a patrol car observes the man, looking neutral and unconcerned by the clearly unsafe, overhanging load. Panel 3: The man breaks the entire bundle of spaghetti in half to make it shorter to fit into the trunk, so both halves now stick out of the back of the car. Panel 4: The police officer's expression becomes shocked and angry, and the siren on his patrol car changes to match the green, white, and red colors of the Italian flag, implying he is enraged by the culturally taboo act of breaking spaghetti rather than the dangerous driving hazard. The meme is titled with the pun 'Pasta La Vista', a wordplay on the common phrase 'Hasta La Vista'.

This is an image macro meme featuring a humorous pop culture pun. The top text shows a dialogue exchange: the speaker states 'I'm afraid of the Backstreet Boys', and their therapist responds with 'Tell me why', which is a famous lyric from the Backstreet Boys' hit track 'I Want It That Way'. Below the line labeled 'Me:' is a viral blurry photograph of a hamster with its mouth open, looking extremely shocked and caught off guard, representing the speaker's stunned reaction to the therapist accidentally quoting the exact song they are afraid of.

This comedic meme opens with the text header 'is it really worth it?' at the top of the frame. On the left, an image of a galaxy/black hole, visually representing the entire universe, is circled with a bright red marker, with a red arrow pointing directly to a bottle of Wellsley brand 'Everything Seasoning' (a popular American spice blend typically used for bagels and savory dishes) on the right. The core joke is a wordplay pun on the seasoning's 'Everything' name, humorously implying that the seasoning is literally manufactured from every single object that exists in the universe, and asking the absurd question of whether the convenience of the pre-made spice blend is worth destroying the entire cosmos to produce it.

This is a 4-panel webcomic meme featuring a cartoon depiction of the Greek mythological figure Orion, for whom the famous Orion constellation is named. In the first panel, an off-screen voice tells Orion sitting on a couch that he has received a package. In the second panel, Orion excitedly opens the package and exclaims that it is his new belt. In the third panel, he wears the belt with a disappointed expression, stating it is not as good as he expected. In the fourth panel, he uses his phone to leave a 3-star review for the product. The core joke is a clever pun referencing the Orion's Belt asterism, a set of three bright stars that are the most recognizable feature of the Orion constellation.

This meme uses the common format of a person denying they are laughing at anything while their brain is preoccupied with a silly internal joke. The humor comes from a wordplay pun on the popular British crime drama series *Peaky Blinders*: the image below the setup text shows three kitchen blenders, each wearing the iconic herringbone flat newsboy caps that characters from *Peaky Blinders* are famously associated with, with text below the blenders reading 'Peaky Blenders' as the punchline.

This is a two-part collage meme. The top panel features animated character Vanessa from *Bee Movie* with her eyes closed speaking, with an inset photo of Stephen Hawking at his famous real-life 2009 time traveler party, where a welcome sign is misspelled 'WEI COME TIME TRAVELLERS' instead of 'WELCOME TIME TRAVELLERS'. The overlaid main text states 'If you think about it closely, we now know why no time travelers went to Stephen Hawking's time traveler party'. The bottom panel is the black and white payoff of the meme format, showing animated character Ken from *Bee Movie* looking horrified and shocked as the viewer understands the joke: the typo makes the sign appear to say only people named Wei are welcome, so time travelers did see the invitation but chose not to attend because they were not named Wei, solving the real mystery of why no guests arrived to Hawking's event.

This single-panel cartoon meme depicts two iconic figures from Greek mythology: King Midas, who possesses the power to turn anything he touches into gold, and Medusa, who can turn anyone who gazes at her into stone. Midas is shown standing in an open doorway, holding a golden bouquet, fully turned to stone, as he shakes hands with Medusa, who is fully turned into gold, standing inside the home with her characteristic snake hair and snake lower body. The joke relies on the juxtaposition of their two opposing powers, which activated immediately upon their meeting, instantly ending their potential romantic relationship, as referenced by the 'very brief affair' caption.

This meme is a space-themed adaptation of the classic children's pun 'Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9'. The top of the image displays the text 'WHY WAS MARS AFRAID OF JUPITER?', followed by a cheerful cartoon anthropomorphic Earth character with a happy expression, pointing one finger upward as if sharing a joke. Underneath the Earth character is the text 'BECAUSE...', followed by three side-by-side images of planets with labels: Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, in that order. The wordplay relies on the similar pronunciation of the three consecutive planet names to the phrase '7 ate 9', delivering the punchline of the adapted joke.

This meme is set in a classroom environment, with a young man wearing a green plaid shirt sitting on a stool next to a whiteboard that has a projected slide displayed on it. The text on the slide reads 'She's a 10/10 but is obsessed with harry potter so she's a 9 3/4'. The joke is a pun referencing Platform 9 3/4, the iconic secret train platform for Hogwarts students from the Harry Potter franchise. It plays on the popular internet '1-10 attractiveness rating' meme format, substituting the usual reduced score with the well-known Harry Potter platform number as a playful joke about extreme Harry Potter fandom.
