The meme has two core components: white text on a black header bar at the top reads 'If I roll a 20 I'm getting fucked up today', positioned above a photograph of a translucent red 20-sided die (D20, a common gaming accessory for tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons) resting on a light wooden table. Every visible face of the die is printed with the number 20, meaning every face of the custom die is marked 20, so any roll will always result in a 20. This frames the poster's pre-determined decision to get heavily intoxicated as a random game of chance for comedic effect.

This edited cartoon meme reworks Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants to resemble a Mind Flayer (Illithid), an iconic tentacled monster from the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG. The creature is positioned behind an old CRT monitor displaying a partially filled loading bar, peeking out from behind a wall with a frustrated, overwhelmed expression while reaching its clawed hands toward the viewer. Green text in the top left reads 'Can you', which is the start of the common reaction phrase 'Can you repeat that?', used when someone hears an idea so absurd or unexpected that they need time to process it. The meme references the chaotic, unexpected player actions that are common in D&D games, hence the original title 'D&D shenanigans'.

This is a single-panel reaction meme referencing common Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) gameplay scenarios. Top text shows a dialogue exchange: a player asks their Dungeon Master (DM) 'is the room empty?', and the DM replies 'It seems to be empty'. Below this dialogue is a screenshot of the droid K-2SO from Star Wars: Rogue One, with overlaid bottom text reading 'I find that answer vague and unconvincing', representing the player's immediate skepticism. The joke relies on the common DnD trope where a DM's non-committal answer that a space 'seems' empty almost always means the room holds hidden danger, most commonly a mimic (a monster that disguises itself as ordinary furniture like chests), which aligns with the original title noting suspicion of a mimic.

This is a 4-panel meme using the classic expanding brain format, where increasingly bright glowing brains represent increasingly unexpected ultimate priorities. The joke lists common assumptions for why people are polyamorous (shortened to 'Being Poly') leading to a punchline for tabletop roleplaying game fans: the first dim small brain is labeled 'Being Poly For The Sex', the second partially glowing purple brain is 'Being Poly For The Emotional Support and Love', the third fully glowing bright brain is 'Being Poly For The Multiple Incomes', and the final maximally glowing radiating brain is the punchline 'Being Poly To Have a Full DnD Party'. The joke leans into the extremely common struggle of Dungeons & Dragons players who struggle to find enough people to fill a full adventuring party, matching the original post title that it is very hard to find people to play with.
