This meme uses a pun on the dual meaning of the word 'cabinet' in U.S. context: one meaning is the group of senior appointed presidential advisors (the U.S. Presidential Cabinet), the other is a storage case for alcoholic beverages (a liquor cabinet). The image edits 5 figures who were announced as picks for Donald Trump's 2025 second-term presidential cabinet into a sports locker room scene, all holding or consuming alcohol, to deliver the joke that the new presidential cabinet is equivalent to a liquor cabinet, mocking the nominees for perceived associations with drinking or lack of fitness for office.

This is a silly pun meme featuring a dark, grainy, lightly snowing background. A person wears a realistic T-Rex dinosaur mask, a dark velvety pink/purple robe over a light-colored nightgown or shirt. Overlaid text forms a humorous acronym pun: the first line reads 'Yeah I'm SAD', with the lines below spelling out SAD as 'Secretly A Dinousour' (with an intentional or unintentional misspelling of 'Dinosaur'). The pun subverts the common meaning of SAD (either the emotion of sadness or Seasonal Affective Disorder) to mean the poster is secretly a dinosaur, for absurd comedic effect.

This is a two-panel homophone pun meme. The top panel displays an unedited portrait of Hugh Hefner, the famous founder of Playboy Enterprises, wearing his signature red silk smoking jacket with the iconic Playboy bunny logo visible in the background, captioned 'Hugh Hefner'. The bottom panel shows the same portrait edited to shift all color hues by +100, as demonstrated by the overlaid photo editing hue adjustment interface, resulting in blue skin, pink hair, a bright green jacket, and a neon green Playboy bunny. This edited version is captioned 'Hue Hefner', playing on the fact that 'Hugh' (the subject's first name) is a perfect homophone for 'hue', the color adjustment parameter used to alter the image.

This meme features a low-resolution candid photo taken outdoors on a sunny day, showing an adult in a striped shirt sitting on concrete and holding a young baby. The baby has a white cloth draped over its head resembling a hood, and is positioned directly in front of the adult's face, fully blocking the adult from direct sunlight. Text at the top of the image reads 'son block', a homophonic pun on the common term 'sun block' (sunscreen). The meme's official title 'Total Eclipse of the Son' is a secondary pun, referencing the popular song 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' to joke that the child is acting as a human sun shield and solar eclipse for the parent holding them.

This is a humorous single-panel edited meme, titled 'Groundhog Strait'. It features actor Bill Murray, famous for his lead role in the 1993 comedy film *Groundhog Day* where his character is trapped in an infinite time loop reliving the same day repeatedly, edited to appear as a field news reporter. He stands on a rocky coastal overlook facing a strait with a cargo ship visible in the water behind him, and a news microphone marked with a Channel 9 logo is held up to him. The text at the top of the meme reads 'Well, the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Again.' The core joke is a pun combining 'Groundhog Day' and 'Strait' to create the title 'Groundhog Strait', referencing the frequently recurring real-world news events of shipping disruptions and temporary closures of the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, making the repeated event feel like the time loop premise of the *Groundhog Day* film.

This meme features a red carpet photo of actor Hugh Jackman holding up a two-finger V/peace sign, paired with text above that reads 'People in Ancient Rome ordering 5 beers'. The joke relies on a historical pun: the Roman numeral for the number 5 is 'V', which is exactly the shape of the hand gesture Jackman makes, humorously implying ancient Romans would use this gesture to order 5 drinks in an anachronistic casual scenario.

This is a 3-panel corny dad joke meme that uses the famous confrontation and fight template from the 2016 Marvel film *Captain America: Civil War*. The top panel poses a question: 'What do Lawyers wear to Court?'. The middle panel gives two responses: first a straightforward answer 'They wear Suits.', which is corrected to the pun punchline 'No, They wear Lawsuits.'. The bottom panel shows an all-out fight breaking out between the two groups of characters, which is the standard use of this template to show negative reaction to a bad joke. The humor comes from the pun: 'suit' refers to the formal clothing lawyers wear, while a 'lawsuit' is a legal proceeding, creating a corny dad joke wordplay.

This is a sarcastic, relatable meme using an image of Shrek looking down at a PS5 copy of *Resident Evil*. The text bubbles set up a scenario: a sick worker receives a 'get well soon' wish from their boss, the sick worker thanks them weakly while coughing, then the PS5 beeps to demand the worker play it. The meme's title makes a pun between 'Resident Evil' and 'Requiem' (a funeral mass for the dead), implying the sick person would rather die (and need a requiem) than recover to go back to work, choosing to play video games instead.

This is a humorous gaming pun meme. The top text has a question: "What do you play on?", followed by the poster's answer: "Me: Mario.". The image below is a photo taken inside a video game retail store, showing separate branded sections for consoles: Mario gets his own dedicated signage section alongside major console brands Xbox (green) and PlayStation (blue). The joke relies on wordplay: the question asks what gaming console/platform the person plays games on, but instead of answering Nintendo, they answer Mario, which is literally treated as its own platform/section just like Xbox and PlayStation in the store, leaning into the common association that Nintendo consoles are primarily known for Mario games.

This is a 5-panel progressive reaction meme that uses the popular Vince McMahon reaction template. The meme features absurdist wordplay: the word "EMPTY" is progressively stripped of and rearranged as letters are removed across each panel, going from full "EMPTY" to "EMPT", then to "Mpty", and finally to "MT". Each step is paired with a more intense, over-the-top facial reaction from Vince McMahon, ending with him screaming in the final panel. The joke relies on the absurdity of "emptying" the word "EMPTY" itself, with the increasingly extreme reaction escalating the silly wordplay into humor.

This is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post from user Kiki @kikisknees that questions why BBC Sport deleted an original tweet about Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout. The original BBC graphic shows the sprinter celebrating after his race, with text confirming he ran 200m faster than Usain Bolt did at the same age of 18. The joke/pun here is that the athlete's name "Gout Gout" matches the name of the painful inflammatory medical condition gout, which is why the tweet was reportedly taken down.

This meme is a screenshot of a chat conversation. The sender sends a suggestive message saying they will send a picture of themselves touching themselves while thinking of the recipient, which leads the viewer and recipient to expect a sexually explicit image. The attached picture instead shows the sender, a bearded adult man, innocently touching his own forehead while adjusting his glasses, completely subverting the expected sexual implication to create a humorous pun twist.
