This is a single-panel reaction meme featuring a screenshot of actor Chris Pratt playing the character Andy Dwyer from the US sitcom *Parks and Recreation*. He is standing in an office setting with a confused, awkward, and perplexed expression. White bold text is overlaid at the top and bottom of the image: the top text reads "I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THESE KOREAN CHEERLEADER POSTS COME FROM", and the bottom text reads "AND AT THIS POINT I'M AFRAID TO ASK". The meme humorously expresses the relatable feeling of being out of the loop on a sudden, widespread social media trend, and being too embarrassed to ask for context about it.

The meme has bold black top text reading 'THE "NOTHING ELSE TO OFFER" POSE' above three side-by-side photographs of different women all performing the same pose: standing with their back mostly turned to the camera, looking over their shoulder, angled to prominently display their buttocks. The satirical joke responds to the common dating question 'what do you bring to the table in a relationship?', implying that people who frequently post photos in this pose have no meaningful personal traits, skills, or contributions to offer in a romantic relationship, and only present their physical appearance as their sole value.

This is a satirical meme that uses a dramatic medieval battle scene. The foreground shows a barren battlefield littered with the bodies of fallen soldiers, while a massive, dense army of soldiers is amassed in the far background. The overlaid bold white text reads 'TIKTOKERS INVADING SCIENTOLOGY BUILDING', humorously comparing the large number of TikTok users participating in the trend of visiting or protesting Scientology facilities to an overwhelming invading army that has already inflicted heavy casualties on the opposing force.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The left panel displays a 2013 social media post recounting the true story of 10-year-old Tilly Smith, who saved her family and 100 other tourists from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami by recognizing tsunami warning signs she learned in a geography lesson two weeks prior, paired with an authentic photograph of Tilly holding an award for her actions, with a note that the photo was taken on December 26, 2004. The right panel shows a purported 2025 social media post recounting the same story, but uses a still of a child actress from a dramatized production about the tsunami instead of the real photograph of Tilly. The meme conveys appreciation for the use of authentic historical imagery over fictional, dramatized depictions of real events, criticizing the modern trend of replacing real historical photos with unrelated staged footage.

This meme uses the classic Kermit 'keep it real' template, showing Kermit the Frog placing a hand on the shoulder of shocked red Muppet Pepe the King Prawn. The top caption reads 'IMA KEEP IT REAL WITH U CHIEF!!', while the bottom caption states 'I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAVING FUN BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU RE-CREATING POP CULTURE CHARACTERS IN TOMODACHI LIFE'. It jokes about the oversaturation of repetitive social media posts where users share custom pop culture character builds they made in the Nintendo life simulation game Tomodachi Life, expressing the common frustrated sentiment of users who are tired of seeing these frequent, unoriginal posts.

This is a meta satirical meme featuring a selfie of a young man with a faint, slightly mischievous smirk looking directly at the camera, with a window with horizontal blinds visible in the background behind him. Overlaid text in white and yellow highlights a common, widely mocked behavior on Reddit: users adding entirely fake made-up backstories to random images, posting them to the platform without any supporting evidence or corroborating news sources, and other users readily believing and engaging with the false story. The meme frames the man in the selfie as the person performing this dishonest act, leaning into the joke of how easily unsubstantiated claims go viral on social media.

This is a nostalgic single-panel meme featuring the iconic green 3D animated dancing alien from the 2018 viral Dame Tu Cosita trend.
