This image is a screenshot of a fake iMessage conversation between a user and their mother. The mother sends two angry messages: first, she demands to know why the user lied to their father that the acronym BDSM stands for 'Burgers, Drinks and Salsa Music'. Second, she reveals that the father has now invited their friends Bob and Sandra over for a 'BDSM party' that night, and states that the user will face consequences for the prank. The humor derives from the crude prank of redefining a sexually explicit acronym to an innocent food and music phrase, leading to an extremely awkward and funny family misunderstanding.

The image displays a mock iMessage text exchange between a user and their dad. The dad opens with a classic knock knock joke setup: he sends "Knock knock", the user replies "Who's there?", the dad answers "You", the user responds "You who?", and the dad closes the joke with the line "Yoo-hoo big summer blow out", followed by a still of Oaken, the shopkeeper character from Disney's 2013 animated film *Frozen*, who says this exact line in the movie when advertising his summer sale. The gag is a corny pun that leads into a recognizable pop culture reference, leaning into the stereotype of dads telling silly, reference-heavy jokes.

This is a screenshot of an Apple iMessage conversation between a user and their upstairs neighbor. First, the neighbor texts to warn they will drop heavy items on the floor that will roll around for several hours, to which the recipient simply replies "Okay". Roughly 3 and a half hours later, the neighbor sends another advance warning that they are about to scream very loudly. The humor comes from the absurd, unexpected politeness of the neighbor giving notice for extremely disruptive, odd behavior, which subverts the common negative stereotype of rude, inconsiderate upstairs neighbors.

This image is a screenshot of a text message conversation between a child and their dad. The child sends a message asking their dad to arrange a taxi for them at 7am the next day. The dad first replies 'Ok' to acknowledge the request, the child thanks him, and the dad responds with a thumbs up emoji. At 7am the following day, the dad sends the punchline message: 'You're a taxi', which is a corny dad joke playing on the double interpretation of the phrase 'call me a taxi' -- the child meant 'order a taxi for me', while the dad pretends to interpret it as 'address me as a taxi'.
