This meme uses dark fantasy action artwork depicting a tiny human warrior charging to attack a towering, screaming, monstrous knight standing in an apocalyptic battlefield. The towering giant knight is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE AVERAGE FANBASE', while the small attacking warrior is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE POKEMON FANBASE'. The joke satirizes the unusually high levels of toxicity, infighting, and aggressive discourse present in the Pokemon fan community, which is counter-intuitive given the Pokemon franchise is targeted at all ages including young children.

This is a 4-panel meme using scenes from the American sitcom *Two and a Half Men*. The first panel shows Alan Harper, with the poster for the film *Desert Warrior* covering his face, sitting at a table holding a beer and saying "I think I forgot something." The second panel shows Charlie Harper sitting across from him, holding a beer, with text above him reading "$150 million budget", and his dialogue stating "If you forgot, then it wasn't important." The third panel shows the *Desert Warrior*-headed character agreeing, saying "Yeah, you're right." The fourth and final panel shows Jake Harper standing outside holding a soccer ball, with the label "Marketing" above his head, revealing that the film's $150 million budget completely neglected to allocate any funds to marketing, a common joke about big-budget films that underperform commercially because general audiences are unaware they exist.

So where did the budget go?

This meme combines a top text caption with a close-up photograph of the popular 'Hide the Pain Harold' stock character. The text reads 'When I buy a bunch of nice new clothes but now my ugly face doesn't match them', followed by Harold's strained, awkward grimace that conveys disappointment and discomfort. The meme uses self-deprecating humor to express the relatable feeling of being disappointed after purchasing nice clothing, as the poster jokes that their own appearance is too unattractive to match the new garments, aligning with the original posted title 'I will never be happy'.

This is a two-panel edited meme referencing the well-known business practice of Spirit Halloween, a United States seasonal costume retail chain. The top panel features the *Overwatch* character Mei looking resigned and apathetic, with text overlay reading "A company going bankrupt with stores closing nationwide". The bottom panel features *Overwatch* character Soldier: 76 pointing a shotgun directly at the viewer, with the official Spirit Halloween logo edited over his face. The joke rests on the widely known fact that Spirit Halloween exclusively operates temporary pop-up stores in recently vacated commercial retail spaces, so whenever a national chain declares bankruptcy and closes all its physical locations, Spirit Halloween immediately benefits from the newly available storefronts to host their seasonal Halloween sales.

This single-panel meme uses a low-contrast photograph of a glum, half-asleep orange and white cat lying down as the background. Overlaid text at the top of the image jokes that the poster has come to the absurd conspiracy theory conclusion that all real-world couples are fake, planted by the government specifically to make single people angry as a form of rage bait. The joke is a sarcastic, exaggerated expression of the frustration single people can feel when seeing happy couples in public.

This is a two-panel black and white screenshot meme featuring the deadpan comedic character Philomena Cunk. In the first panel, Cunk delivers the setup line "Since light travels faster than sound," while maintaining a serious, matter-of-fact expression as if explaining a scientific fact. The second panel delivers the punchline: "people may appear bright until you hear them speak." The joke relies on a pun using the double meaning of the word "bright": first referencing the visual brightness related to the speed of light, then referencing perceived intelligence, which is revealed to be false once the person speaks and exposes their lack of sense.

This meme uses a photograph of singer Sam Smith posing on the 2023 BRIT Awards red carpet in an exaggerated, bulbous all-black latex outfit with disproportionately wide shoulder and hip sections. The text "battlepass skins be like" is placed above the photo, making a humorous comparison between the over-the-top, outlandish design of Smith's outfit and the often gaudy, exaggerated high-rarity legendary cosmetic character skins offered as rewards in video game battle passes. The joke mocks the trend of video game battle passes including increasingly bizarre, unrealistic cosmetic items to incentivize player purchases.

This is a two-panel meme. The top panel shows an edited version of the Windows 98 Mouse Properties settings menu, with a red-highlighted checkbox option labeled 'Disable mouse clicking'. The joke relies on the logical absurdity of this option: a user would need to click the checkbox to enable the setting, which would immediately disable all mouse click functionality, making it impossible to click the OK/Apply buttons to save the setting, or revert the change. The bottom panel is the widely used 'evil council laughing' scene from the Austin Powers film series, captioned 'Windows 98 developers:', implying the operating system's developers are hysterically laughing at this intentionally broken, prank-like user-facing feature.

This is a comparison style relatable meme. The top section has a header reading 'The slowest creatures:' followed by images of two widely recognized slow-moving animals: a snail labeled 'Snail' and a turtle labeled 'Turtle'. The next section leads with the text 'I'll be ready in 5 minutes', followed by a photo of a woman sitting in front of a bathroom mirror carefully applying eyeliner makeup. The joke satirizes the common experience of waiting for someone who claims they will be ready to leave in 5 minutes, but actually takes a far longer amount of time to finish getting ready, implying that these people are even slower than snails and turtles. The original title of the post is 'Where is the lie', asking viewers to agree that the comparison is accurate.

This is a 2x2 grid relatable meme. The top text reads "How it feels to live in Southeast Asia during summer". The top left panel shows a closed, unopened Selecta brand Cookies & Cream ice cream tub that looks appealing and desirable. The top right panel shows Pennywise the Dancing Clown from the *It* horror franchise, holding a spoon with an excited, menacing open mouth, ready to enjoy the treat. The bottom left panel shows the same ice cream tub opened, but instead of frozen ice cream, it contains a whole canned fish, visually referencing the extreme heat of Southeast Asian summers that melts ice cream extremely fast, ruining the treat immediately after purchase. The bottom right panel shows Pennywise looking furious, holding up both middle fingers to express his disappointment and anger at the ruined product. The joke plays on the relatable frustration of dealing with oppressive summer heat that ruins frozen treats before you can eat them, matching the sarcastic original title of "Fish flavor, my favorite".

This meme features text placed above a photograph of a shirtless, muscular young man posing in front of a scenic coastal ocean view. The man is holding an open laptop in one hand, a cocktail glass in the other, and has a cigar placed in his mouth, but his pose is completely impractical: he cannot use the laptop while holding the drink, cannot drink the cocktail while holding the cigar in his mouth, and cannot smoke the cigar since both of his hands are occupied. The accompanying text mocks so-called "Instagram growth gurus" and lifestyle influencers, who often post highly aesthetic, aspirational photos that prioritize looking impressive and productive over being functional or demonstrating real activity, highlighting the absurdity of performative social media content.

The meme opens with text mocking the common marketing claim that gaming laptops are highly portable and allow users to play games anywhere. The second half of the meme shows a scene from the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants where Patrick Star is carrying a limp, dazed SpongeBob, paired with an FPS counter reading 80, to satirize the fact that gaming laptops immediately suffer severe performance drops the moment they are unplugged from their chargers, making them effectively unplayable when used on battery power, contradicting their supposed portability.
