This two-panel meme uses the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template to express relatable post-pandemic anxiety around illness. The first panel shows a normal, smiling Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr from Pixar's The Incredibles) next to text reading 'You wake up with a sore throat', representing mild initial concern about a minor physical symptom. The second panel features the distorted, unsettling uncanny version of Mr. Incredible paired with text reading 'It doesn't go away after a few hours', conveying rising worry that the symptom indicates a more serious illness like COVID-19. The meme's title references the common sentiment that many people expected frequent seasonal illness and COVID waves to stop circulating after the month of May, only for illnesses to continue appearing unexpectedly.

I thought May was where it ended, but it seems to always find a way.

This meme uses a screenshot of Jesse Pinkman from the show Breaking Bad, where he has a strained, uncomfortable expression while standing on a public street. The overlaid text jokes about pretending not to notice random people staring at you when you are in public, with a parenthetical referencing lyrics from The Killers' song 'Mr. Brightside' that reveal the person is actually internally struggling and overstimulated while trying to appear calm on the outside. The humor comes from the relatable contrast between outward composure and internal chaos in public social situations.

This meme features a real stock photo of a supermarket interior, with a uniformed security guard standing with his back to the viewer in the midground. In the foreground, an edited cutout of the anime character Saitama from *One Punch Man* is overlaid, drawn with a heavily anxious expression: sweating profusely, eyes wide and darting, teeth gritted, looking paranoid. Text at the top of the meme reads 'ME LEAVING THE MARKET NERVOUSLY BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING'. The joke refers to the common relatable awkward feeling of being irrationally paranoid that store security will suspect you of theft when you leave a retail location without purchasing any items, even though you have done nothing wrong.

The image is a low-angle photograph of London's Elizabeth Tower, more commonly known as Big Ben, set against a bright clear blue sky with sun rays visible on the right side of the frame. Overlaid bold white text across the lower half of the image reads "can't read these kinda clocks but respect to da architecture" next to a red 100 points emoji. The joke relies on the widespread relatable experience of people who struggle to read analog clock faces, even on famous historic structures like Big Ben, while still appreciating the impressive design of the iconic building.

This reaction meme uses a viral photo of rapper Snoop Dogg lifting his sunglasses with a wide-eyed, shocked expression of disbelief. The overlaid top text reads 'How I be looking back on my take on digital game prices after hearing the Sony rumor', referencing a circulating unconfirmed rumor that Sony will require users to sign in monthly to retain access to their already purchased digital PlayStation games. The meme pokes fun at people who previously defended the cost of digital games, who are now shocked that they may lose permanent access to their purchases. A 'made with mematic' watermark is visible in the bottom left corner, and Snoop Dogg is wearing a co-branded NBC and Snoop Dogg jacket, from his appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The image features two fluffy white kittens sitting side by side on a dark grey fabric couch, both with matching red bruise-like marks on their foreheads and wearing identical downcast, regretful expressions. Bold all-caps white text overlaid on the lower half of the image reads "I WAS SOOOO STUPID BACK THEN", with smaller italicized text below it clarifying "(yesterday)". The joke relies on relatable self-deprecating humor, using the kittens' matching injuries to imply they made a shared foolish decision the prior day that left them hurt and embarrassed, reflecting the common feeling of immediately regretting recent poor choices.

This meme features a real photograph of a bizarre traffic accident where a motorcyclist and their motorcycle are lodged high up on a horizontal traffic light pole at a road intersection. Below the scene, a police SUV, emergency personnel, and onlookers stand behind police cordon tape. Overlaid text on the top of the image reads 'IN ALL FAIRNESS', and the bottom text continues 'EVERY ONE OF US WHO HAS SEEN ONE OF THOSE RAMP TRAILERS HAS WANTED TO JUST GO FOR IT', humorously suggesting the rider intentionally tried to launch their motorcycle off a ramp and ended up in this absurd position, implying the reckless impulse is relatable to many people.

This meme features text at the top that reads 'When someone presents u with a serious situation requiring an adult response and u search for the perfect meme to use', paired with a screenshot of the animated character SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob is wearing thick black glasses, looking focused and intent as he flips through a field guide book, which visually represents the act of carefully browsing to find the exact right meme to reply with. The joke is relatable to frequent internet users who often prefer to use memes to communicate even in situations that would typically call for a mature, serious response.

This meme is formatted as a social media post. At the top, it shows the profile of a user named jfool, including their circular profile photo of a man with a mustache looking straight at the camera, display name 'jfool', and handle '@jfool'. Below the profile is the text: 'i think we can all agree this is the best sleeping position'. Under the text is a digital illustration of a blonde woman wearing a pink short-sleeve t-shirt and grey shorts, sleeping face down on a white pillow in a sprawled position: one arm is tucked under the pillow, the other is behind her back, one leg is bent at the knee while the other is fully stretched out. A small red watermark with the text 'jfool' is placed at the bottom center of the image. The meme leans into relatable humor, referencing a very comfortable, unrestrained sleeping position that many people prefer.

This is a relatable single-panel photo meme. The text at the top of the image sets up a common, familiar social scenario: when a friend begins to share information or a thought but then abruptly stops and says 'nevermind'. The visual component is a viral photograph of an elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a bright pink coat, yellow skirt, and casual slip-on shoes, aggressively climbing a tall black wrought iron entry gate as if she is desperate to force her way inside. The text 'Tell Me' is placed adjacent to the woman, personifying the intense, almost overwhelming curiosity most people feel when a friend withholds information they almost shared, framing that urge to get the full story as the woman forcefully attempting to gain access to the withheld content.

This is a two-panel comparison meme mocking the common frustrating experience of getting a bad haircut from a barber. The top panel is labeled 'The photos the barber has on the wall:' and features three photographs of attractive men with stylish, well-groomed medium to long hairstyles (a wavy short cut, a half-up man bun with undercut, and a long half-up half-down style) presented as desired reference looks. The bottom panel is labeled 'When he cuts your hair:' and features three stills of well-known Bollywood actors with comically ugly, badly styled haircuts that look nothing like the reference styles, highlighting the humorous discrepancy between the expected result of a haircut and the actual disappointing outcome most people experience.
