This is a two-panel meme using the iconic 'First Time?' hanging scene from the 2018 film *The Ballad of Buster Scruggs*. The top panel depicts two men with nooses around their necks, labeled 'GAMERS FINDING OUT THEIR HOBBY COSTS MONEY', referencing the often steep cost of PC components, gaming consoles, and related accessories. The bottom panel shows a third man also awaiting execution by hanging, labeled 'BOAT GUYS', who turns to the other two men and asks 'First time?', making the joke that boat ownership is a far more consistently expensive hobby, making gamers' surprise at their hobby's costs seem naive and inexperienced.

The meme is structured as text placed above a reaction image of Mr. Krabs from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. The first line of text quotes a common statement from older generations: 'Parents: "back in our days we didn't go to therapy"'. The second line describes the younger poster's experience: 'Me, fighting the urge to say "It shows"'. The paired image shows Mr. Krabs with a tense, pursed-lip expression, visibly holding back from making a rude but honest retort. The joke is relatable for many younger people who recognize that older generations' lack of access to or rejection of therapy often resulted in unaddressed emotional and behavioral issues that impact their families, but refrain from pointing this out to avoid conflict with their parents.

This single-panel meme consists of text at the top followed by a screenshot from The Sims 4 video game. The top text reads: 'when you were born 12 minutes ago and your mom already got another "eating for two!" notification'. The image below shows a low-poly, slightly uncanny-looking infant Sim standing in a hospital bassinet, with a second empty bassinet placed directly next to it. The humor comes from the absurd, exaggerated premise that a mother would become pregnant again almost immediately after giving birth, with the empty bassinet visually teasing the imminent arrival of another child just moments after the first was born.

The image is a relatable humor meme showing a young blonde woman wearing over-ear headphones, holding a long boom microphone angled upward as if she is waiting intently to capture sound. Overlaid text at the top of the image reads 'the producers of my brain waiting for me to form at least one coherent thought', making a joking comparison between the experience of having brain fog or being unable to focus, and a film production crew waiting patiently to record content that never arrives.

This meme uses a popular reaction template to depict a relatable adult financial frustration. The top of the image has text that reads 'Me: finally catches up with all my bills' followed by 'My car:'. Underneath the text is a still of Leonardo DiCaprio as the character Calvin Candie from the film Django Unchained, with a smug, amused smirk, holding a photoshopped yellow car check engine warning light icon. The joke conveys the common experience of unexpected, expensive car issues arising immediately after someone has just gotten their finances caught up on existing expenses.

This is a relatable sarcastic meme made up of top text followed by a grayscale medical ultrasound image of a human fetus. The top text states 'A picture of me the last time I was happy, mentally stable and not tired:'. The joke plays on the widely relatable sentiment that adult life, especially with work obligations (as referenced by the original title 'When job didn't matter'), is consistently stressful, draining, and overwhelming, implying the poster has not felt peaceful, happy, or well-rested at any point after they were born, when they had no responsibilities to worry about.

This is a single-panel meme featuring the iconic sad Pepe the Frog character standing under a running shower, with a thick layer of shampoo foam lathered on top of his head. Pepe has a visibly despondent, teary expression. The text above the image reads 'When your shampoo says "damage repair" but you're still broken on the inside'. The humor comes from the relatable, self-deprecating joke that contrasts the hair damage repair promise of shampoo with unaddressed internal emotional or mental damage that personal care products cannot fix, leaning into common online depressive humor trends.

This meme features a screenshot of an angry, scowling Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) from the animated Pixar film *The Incredibles*, sitting at a dining table in front of plates of food. The text at the top reads "POV: It's 2040 and you forgot to pay your fridge subscription." The joke satirizes the growing trend of the subscription economy, where even basic physical goods and household services are increasingly locked behind recurring paywalls, implying that by 2040, refrigerators will cease to function if their subscription is not paid, resulting in spoiled food and the frustration shown by the character.

This image is a screenshot of a public text post from the Reddit r/teenagers subreddit, tagged as a 'Rant' and marked 18+. The post sets up a series of parallel comparisons to point out a perceived unfair double standard: it notes that completing one instance of an action associated with an identity (painting one painting, drinking one beer, killing one person) does not earn someone the associated identity label (artist, alcoholic, serial killer). It then delivers the punchline: the speaker complains that slapping their male friend's (homie's) butt once leads others to immediately label them as gay, questioning the inconsistency of this social judgment. The humor comes from the absurd, deliberately provocative pairing of minor friendly platonic physical affection with far more serious identity categories, as well as the relatable joke about rigid unwritten social norms around platonic physical contact between cisgender heterosexual men.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using screenshot assets from the 2023 *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*. The top panel features a close-up of a stern, intimidating King Dedede, overlaid with text framing him as Nintendo issuing copyright takedowns for YouTube videos containing Nintendo-owned music, asking "Do you yield?". The bottom panel shows a grinning, defiant Bowser standing in front of a fiery background, framed as content creators who continue uploading Nintendo music despite takedown notices, responding with "*Laughter* I do not". The meme humorously comments on the well-documented conflict between Nintendo's strict intellectual property enforcement policies and YouTube creators who share Nintendo soundtrack content on the platform.

This image is a screenshot of a satirical tweet joking about the frustration of the modern job application process. The tweet suggests an absurd illegal workaround: instead of submitting resumes, job seekers should wake up, put on formal clothes, walk into any random company and start working immediately. If the company calls the police to remove them, they should go to the police station and start working there too. It closes with the line "We're tired of sending CVs" paired with a waving hand emoji and a weary face emoji, emphasizing the widespread exasperation with unresponsive, tedious job application systems. The joke plays on the common phrase "modern problems require modern solutions" by offering an absurdly extreme, illegal alternative to the normal hiring process.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. The top panel shows Tony Stark, James Rhodes, and Thor looking at a post labeled 'FIRST TIME' that has 0 upvotes, with none of the characters reacting positively. The bottom panel shows the full crowd of Avengers party guests all smiling and engaging with a post labeled 'REPOST' that has 3.2 thousand upvotes. The joke highlights the common frustrating dynamic on social media platforms where original, first-time posted content gets very little engagement, while reposts of the same content get widespread attention and upvotes.
