This is a single-panel satirical meme. The top caption reads 'Male redditors when their sexual experience is questioned:'. To the left, large bold text displays the punchline 'I HAVE A WIFE', alongside the popular 'confident man in a suit explaining a point to a skeptical, thoughtful man holding his chin' stock art template. The joke mocks a commonly observed behavior on Reddit where male users cite having a wife as an unarguable, definitive proof of sexual experience to shut down related debates, even if the point does not logically support the argument they are making.

Ok well that totally settles that debate

This 4-panel meme uses the widely recognized handshake agreement meme template to joke about Reddit user behavior toward platform advertisements. The first panel shows two smug stick figures, labeled as people who ignore Reddit ads, reaching to shake hands. The second panel shows them shaking hands in mutual agreement, labeled as people who downvote Reddit ads, indicating these two groups see eye to eye. The third panel shows both figures looking annoyed while still shaking hands, as they both react to the third group. The final panel depicts a deformed, drooling, hunched over odd stick figure labeled as people that award ads, framing this group as a bizarre, disliked outlier by the broader Reddit userbase.

This is a two-panel edited meme using characters from the Shrek animated movie franchise. The top panel shows Shrek looking visibly frustrated, with overlaid white text asking "COULD YOU STOP REMOVING POPULAR POSTS". The bottom panel depicts Shrek shooting bright red laser beams from his eyes directed at Donkey, who stands looking startled, with accompanying text that reads "WHEN MY COMMENTS STARTS GETTING HUNDREDS OF UPVOTES". The joke conveys the common relatable frustration of social media (particularly Reddit) users when their popular, high-upvoted comments or posts are removed by platform moderators, using the over-the-top laser eye effect to exaggerate the level of anger users feel in this scenario.

This is a relatable reaction meme using a screenshot of Dr. Zoidberg from the animated series *Futurama*. The top text establishes a common social media scenario: a Reddit user finds that another user has stolen their original meme, and the reposted stolen content has received more upvotes than their original post. The bottom text shows an angry Zoidberg yelling, "That's MY joke! I'll kill you!", which humorously exaggerates the frustration content creators feel when their work is reposted without credit and performs better than the original. The meme playfully references the widespread issue of uncredited reposting on platforms like Reddit.

This is a captioned reaction meme. The top overlaid text reads "ME WHEN MY MEME GETS 100 UPVOTES AND THE COMMENTS ARE GENUINELY FUNNY INSTEAD OF PEOPLE TELLING ME TO KILL MYSELF". Below the text is a still shot from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film, showing Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker in his Spider-Man suit smiling proudly and smugly, with the subtitle "They love me." displayed at the bottom of the still. The meme conveys the relatable feeling of satisfaction when a meme you post gets positive, fun engagement instead of toxic, hostile comments from other users.

This meme satirizes petty power trips by online forum and website moderators. The top section contains an exaggerated mod notification stating a user is banned for a week and their post removed for violating an absurdly specific rule (#1827) of not capitalizing the first letter of their post title, with a warning that ban evasion leads to a permanent ban. Below the text is a widely used cartoon template of an overweight, glasses-wearing, smug nerd character sitting barefoot at a computer, representing the stereotypical over-invested internet mod who takes their minor website authority far too seriously. The joke highlights how many moderators wield their small amount of power over trivial, unimportant rules for the sake of feeling important, rather than enforcing meaningful community guidelines.

It’s true, they’re power hungry over a website.

This is a reaction meme consisting of two text sections paired with a screenshot of the animated character Shrek. The top text reads 'When a newbie on Reddit asks about karma', referencing new users of the Reddit platform asking for an explanation of the site's 'karma' point system given to popular posts and comments. The image below shows Shrek with a smug, amused, slightly condescending expression, gesturing with one hand, with yellow text at the bottom of the image that says 'Good question.'. The joke relies on the common experience that Reddit's karma system is often seen as arbitrary, confusing, and difficult to meaningfully explain even to long-time users of the platform, so the response 'good question' implies no one actually has a satisfactory answer to the newbie's query.

This is a single-panel cartoon meme depicting a crudely drawn, smug male caricature wearing an orange shirt printed with the Reddit logo, representing an unaccountable Reddit site moderator. Text placed to the right of the character is spoken by the caricature, satirizing the common user experience of having a popular, highly upvoted post with positive community feedback arbitrarily removed by moderators for unclear, poorly defined rule violations with no appeal process. The joke is rooted in widespread user frustration with the lack of oversight and accountability for social media platform moderators.

This meme features multiple cutouts of actor Zac Efron making a smug, cheeky smiling expression while gesturing outward with open palms. Each cutout points to a different Google search interface element: a classic Google search bar, the Google logo, and the modern Chrome address bar prompt that reads 'Ask Google or type a URL'. The top large text caption reads 'THE COMMENTS WHEN SOMEONE ASKS', and the bottom large caption reads 'A QUESTION ON REDDIT'. The joke mocks the very common Reddit community behavior where commenters frequently respond to users asking simple or easily searchable questions by telling them to just look up the answer on Google instead of providing a direct answer.

This meme uses a photograph of a man reclining casually on a raised wooden platform, looking out over a large, crowded open field with hundreds of scattered people. A top text caption reads 'REDDIT LURKERS WHO NEVER POST OR COMMENT', and the original post title adds context that all these lurkers have 10-year-old Reddit accounts. The joke plays on the common observation that the vast majority of Reddit's userbase consists of passive silent lurkers who never create posts, leave comments, or otherwise interact with the platform, far outnumbering the small share of active users represented by the reclining man in the foreground.

This is a captioned meme using the classic "honest work farmer" template. The image features a smiling middle-aged farmer wearing denim overalls, a plaid shirt, and a grey cap, standing in a wide open green agricultural field under a clear pale blue sky. Large bold white text with black outline at the top reads "DOWN VOTING COMMENTS WHICH SAY 'THIS'", while yellow text with black outline at the bottom displays the iconic template line "It ain't much, but it's honest work". The joke references the common widespread frustration on social media platforms, particularly Reddit, with low-effort comments that only consist of the word "this" to express agreement with a prior post or comment. The meme frames the act of downvoting these unhelpful, low-value comments as a small but worthy and useful public service, which the original poster humorously equates to performing religious good works in their post title.

This is a two-panel meme using the well-known train hitting school bus template. The first panel depicts a yellow school bus stopped on train tracks, with a train approaching from behind, labeled to represent a non-Redditor asking a simple question on the platform. The second panel shows the train crashing into and destroying the school bus, with the train labeled to represent high-ego toxic Reddit users who publicly shame the question asker instead of providing helpful answers. The meme satirizes the common toxic culture experienced by new or non-regular users when asking basic questions on Reddit communities.
