This meme creates a pun based on the German compound word 'Flachspüler', which is the official term for a low-flush (flat flush) toilet. The joke mis-segments the compound word into 'Flach spüler', which can be humorously misinterpreted as a 'face/flat rinser' device. The image shows a person wearing safety goggles leaning over a sink, with a powerful jet of water spraying directly onto their face, exaggerating this misunderstanding for comedic effect.

This is a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) from user Bob Golen. The post shares a nighttime photo of a McDonald's restaurant where the full 'McDonald's' exterior sign is incomplete, cutting off after the first four letters to display only 'McDo'. The accompanying tweet text makes a pun referencing Yoda's famous Star Wars quote 'Do or do not, there is no try', twisting it with McDonald's 'Mc' naming prefix to become 'There is no McTry. Only McDo.'. In the photo, a car with headlights on is stopped at the restaurant's drive-through at night.

This is a two-panel collage meme that uses wordplay around the name 'Donnie'. The top panel shows former U.S. President Donald Trump (commonly nicknamed 'Donnie') speaking at a White House Easter event, with Melania Trump standing beside him, and a cheerful traditional Easter bunny mascot standing next to Trump at the podium. The bottom panel is a still frame from the 2001 film *Donnie Darko*, featuring the film's iconic terrifying giant rabbit character Frank sitting alongside the film's main characters. The meme creates a funny, uncanny juxtaposition by pairing the two 'Donnies' (Donald Trump and Donnie Darko) with their respective bunnies, playing on the shared name for comedic effect.

This is a two-panel joke meme that uses the popular 'We have X at home' meme format. In the first panel, a young anime-style boy asks his mother 'Mom, can I have a Holy Mary' while pointing to a classic religious painting of the Virgin Mary (Holy Mary). His mother replies, 'No, we have Holy Mary at home'. In the second panel, the boy is shown blushing with a shocked and embarrassed expression, while the 'Holy Mary at home' is revealed to be a viral photograph of actor Terry Crews wrapped in a blanket in a praying pose, referencing the older 'Tiger Would' pun meme (a pun that plays on the name Tiger Woods, implying the joke that 'Tiger Would' do this, leading to the pun on 'Holy Mary' turning into this meme version).

This cute wholesome meme features a real Shiba Inu dog resting its head on a flat surface with one paw propped up, looking softly at the viewer. The image has a decorative background with pink heart outlines and sparkling effects, and includes text that delivers a corny geometry pun pickup line: "if u were a triangle / u would be acute one :)" The pun uses the geometry term "acute triangle" (a triangle with all angles smaller than 90 degrees) which sounds identical to "a cute one", making it a cheesy, wholesome romantic joke.

This two-panel meme uses a pun on the double meaning of the word 'driver' to joke about professional golfer Tiger Woods' 2021 car rollover accident. The top panel shows Tiger Woods mid-golf swing, holding a golf driver (the type of golf club), labeled 'Tiger woods / With a driver'. The bottom panel shows Tiger Woods' overturned vehicle after his real-life car crash, labeled 'As the driver' — playing on the second meaning of driver as the person operating a motor vehicle.

This meme combines a photo of an overweight black and white tuxedo cat wearing a small plaid necktie with a text message conversation. The first chat message asks 'What's that fat cat doing', the second reply answers 'He has a job interview', and the final message responds 'He's hired'. The joke relies on the pun of the term 'fat cat' which is slang for a wealthy, established corporate business person, while the subject here is literally an overweight (fat) cat dressed professionally for a job interview. It is a lighthearted, wholesome joke where the cat looks professional enough to be hired immediately.
