The meme opens with text explaining standard evolutionary paths: humans evolved lungs to live on land, while fish evolved gills to live in water. It then cuts to a shot of a deadpan-looking man edited to be staring blankly underwater, labeled as what whales did, referencing the fact that whales evolved from land-dwelling ancestors with lungs to return to living full time in water, an unexpected evolutionary reversal that serves as the eponymous 'plot twist' of nature.

This is a two-part comparison meme. The top section is captioned 'Kids today getting their video game turned into a movie get this', paired with the original 2D animated Pikachu from the Pokemon franchise next to the well-received, accurate cute CGI live-action Pikachu from the 2019 *Detective Pikachu* film. The bottom section is captioned 'Kids in my day got this...', paired with the original cartoon Goomba enemy from the Super Mario video game franchise next to the widely mocked, unrecognizable, monstrous Goomba character design from the poorly received 1993 live-action *Super Mario Bros.* film. The joke highlights the massive improvement in video game movie adaptation quality over time, and pokes fun at how terrible earlier attempts at the genre were for older audiences.

This is a humorous edited infographic of the solar system. It shows standard spherical depictions of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus placed along their orbital paths, with a flat, square model of Earth replacing the usual spherical Earth in its correct orbital position between Venus and Mars. The text at the top of the image reads 'Well, this is awkward...'. The joke satirizes the fringe flat Earth conspiracy theory by highlighting how absurd and out of place a flat Earth looks when placed alongside the universally accepted spherical model of all other planets in the solar system.

This is a captioned reaction meme using a viral clip of two wild marmots standing upright on grass. The top overlaid text describes a common relatable scenario: a rude misbehaving neighbor kid picks up a hose and points it at a giant beehive. The left marmot appears alarmed, as if about to step in to stop the kid, while the right marmot holds it back. The bottom overlaid text reads "Hol up, let him cook", which is the punchline. The joke uses the popular 2020s internet slang "let him cook", deployed ironically here to mean the speakers choose not to interfere, so the rude kid will face the natural negative consequence of being repeatedly stung by angry bees from the hive, getting his deserved comeuppance.

The meme consists of two parts: the top text reads "WHEN IT'S WRITTEN ON THE PUZZLE 3-5 YEARS, AND YOU SOLVE IT IN 3 DAYS", and the lower section is a popular reaction photo of actor Daniel Craig, who looks smug, arrogant and overly proud with his arms crossed and chin tilted up, surrounded by other amused people in the background. The joke pokes fun at the relatable feeling of having an inflated sense of intelligence and pride when completing a very low-difficulty task designed for young children far faster than the recommended time/age range implies it should take, exaggerating the sense of achievement for a trivial win.

This meme has bold white text at the top that reads 'WHAT THE GIRL WHO POSTS PHOTOS ON LUXURY YACHTS ALL SUMMER SEES AT LEAST ONCE A DAY:', followed by a blurry dark image of a skull wearing sunglasses. The satirical joke implies that women who share photos of lavish summer yacht trips on social media are financially supported by extremely old wealthy sugar daddies, humorously framed as being so old they are effectively skeletons.

Can’t argue with that

This is a reaction meme that uses a well-known SpongeBob SquarePants template. It depicts SpongeBob lying in bed looking unimpressed and tired while staring at his pink smartphone. The overlaid text jokes that Super Smash Bros series creator Masahiro Sakurai is learning he is supposed to be making a new Smash Bros game from a random unsubstantiated rumor on Twitter, poking fun at the constant flood of unconfirmed Smash Bros sequel rumors that circulate on social media.

This is a two-panel comedy meme. The top panel displays a real viral news photograph of Indonesian police officers and onlookers gathered around a large burning pile of 3.3 tons of seized cannabis, with visible smoke rising from the fire. Text above this panel states that the burning cannabis resulted in the entire nearby town becoming high from the psychoactive smoke. The bottom panel uses a popular reaction screenshot of Jim Halpert from the US sitcom *The Office*, who is shown smiling smugly while looking through prison bars. Overlaid text on this panel labels him as the person who suggested the police burn the seized weed. The humorous, ironic joke is that the person who proposed burning the weed did so intentionally to get the entire town high, and he is pleased with the successful unintended consequence of the police operation even though he now faces legal consequences.

This two-panel meme repurposes the viral Flex Tape infomercial clip featuring Phil Swift. The top panel labels Phil Swift as "European ports" gesturing towards a leaking water container labeled "Hantavirus ship". The bottom panel shows Swift pressing a Flex Tape patch over the leak, overlaid with the text "fuck off we're not gonna let you pass", humorously satirizing European port authorities firmly blocking ships suspected of carrying hantavirus to stop the virus from entering their territories.

This is a widely relatable humorous meme about the common experience of receiving a bad haircut. The top section has text depicting a short conversation: the barber asks "you like it?", and the customer responds "yup perfect!", pretending to be satisfied to avoid social awkwardness. Below this text is a line introducing the customer's real private reaction: "Also me on the car ride home:", paired with a screenshot of the character Will Byers from Stranger Things sitting in a car, holding his hand over his mouth as he holds back tears, clearly devastated by how poor the haircut actually is. The joke plays on the very common relatable experience of people lying about liking a bad haircut to their barber, only to feel upset about it as soon as they leave the shop.

The meme consists of two parts: top text that reads "How teachers be feeling after saying 'I'm gonna pick someone I haven't heard from today'", paired with a dark night scene from the TV show *The Walking Dead*. In the scene, the character Negan is shown from the back, holding his barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat named Lucille over his shoulder, facing a group of terrified, subdued people lined up in front of vehicle headlights. The joke frames the teacher as a menacing, intimidating figure about to target scared, quiet students who have avoided speaking in class that day, playing on the common relatable anxiety of students being called on unexpectedly.

This meme uses an iconic scene from the original *Pokémon* animated series, where protagonist Ash Ketchum is shown straining to reach towards the extremely powerful legendary Pokémon Mewtwo. The text at the top of the meme reads 'how I envisioned myself trying to conceive when I learned I had low Vitamin D'. The Ash character is labeled 'MY HUSBAND'S SPERM', while Mewtwo is labeled 'MY EGG'. The joke draws a parallel between the extremely daunting task of fighting Mewtwo and the difficulty of conceiving when affected by low Vitamin D, framing the unfertilized egg as an intimidating, unapproachable obstacle.
