This image features a real female cosplayer posing in a cute gothic stylized mime cosplay outfit. She wears full white face makeup, with black lipstick, a drawn black nose, dramatic spiky eyelash details, and a small black heart marking under one eye. She has short black bangs, a black beret with a heart-shaped cutout detail on top, red lace gloves, a red satin scarf tied at her neck, and a strapless black and white striped top. She poses facing the camera, with one gloved hand raised toward the viewer and the other held near her face, in a home bedroom setting with a shelf of stuffed plush toys visible to the left. The post title is a wordplay pun, playing on 'mime' (the performance art character this cosplay is based on) and 'dash' meaning to quickly leave.

This is a pun-based humor meme featuring a photograph of a flock of sheep (lambs) lined up along a steep, unstable-looking grassy hillside. The text overlay at the top reads 'That slope looks unstable, theres a risk of a lambslide.' It uses wordplay: the joke replaces the term 'landslide' (a geological slope collapse) with 'lambslide' to reference the lambs/sheep standing on the unstable slope.

This is a two-panel collage meme that shows real photographs of multiple overweight male U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. A text joke is placed at the top of the image, which reads 'TSA is asking passengers to stop calling morbidly obese ICE agents "icebergs."'. The humor comes from a pun: the agents work for the agency called ICE, so the nickname 'icebergs' references both their agency affiliation and their large body size, playing on the term 'iceberg' meaning a giant mass of floating ice.

This image is a screenshot of a X (Twitter) post that shares a short, witty pun-based joke. The joke recounts that the poster accidentally overfilled a cup of water during a job interview, making it overflow slightly. When the interviewer asks if the interviewee is nervous, the interviewee cleverly replies that they are not nervous, they just always give 110% effort. The joke plays on the common motivational phrase 'giving 110% effort', which literally translates to overflowing a 100% capacity cup in this scenario.

This funny wholesome meme features three sleeping tabby kittens curled tightly together into a swirling circular spiral shape that visually resembles a hurricane on a weather map. The top text uses cat-themed puns to call the image a 'RARE PIC OF A CAT-EGORY 3 PURRICANE!!!', playing on the phrase 'Category 3 Hurricane' by replacing the start of each word with cat-related terms (cat- instead of ca- and purr- instead of hur-, referencing a cat's purr). Below the photo is a screenshot of a social media post from Wildcat Sanctuary, which jokes that since it is hurricane season, the image is good for a laugh, and calls it 'PURR-fect' — another cat pun turning 'perfect' into a cat-related joke.

This is a wholesome, silly anticlimactic pun meme. It opens with text from user fableph that reads 'Hi I have something very important to show you', then shows a drawing of the Grass-type starter Pokemon Turtwig standing centered on a small stage in front of pink curtains, with text at the bottom that says 'carry on'. The joke is a gentle visual pun: Turtwig literally 'carries on' (carries a growing leaf sprout on his back), while the phrase 'carry on' also means to continue proceeding, creating a funny anticlimax.

This is a screenshot of a Tumblr reblog thread, featuring a photograph of a real pet pug dog dressed in a monarch butterfly-style costume, with large orange and black butterfly wings attached to its harness. Below the image, the original Tumblr poster makes an adorable pun: they call their costumed pug a 'puggerfly', a portmanteau blending the words 'pug' and 'butterfly'. The pun is repeated in all caps at the bottom of the thread for extra whimsical emphasis. The pug's gentle, slightly serious expression adds to the cute, charming appeal of the meme.

This meme features a full-sized adult black and white tuxedo cat resting next to a smaller kitten that has matching black and white tuxedo markings, both lying on a carpeted indoor floor looking directly at the camera. The text at the top makes a pun on typography: uppercase letters are larger than lowercase letters, so the large adult cat is called a 'cat' and the smaller kitten is the 'lowercase cat', creating a cute wordplay based on their size difference.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that jokes about the consistent 'Home' naming pattern of Tom Holland's Spider-Man solo films. The left panel shows a tearful, upset Tom Holland (the third major cinematic Spider-Man actor), and lists his three films that all include 'Home' in the title, then humorously extends the pattern with two fake joke entries: 'The House Was Seized' and 'Homeless', creating a sad, funny punchline following the naming theme. The right panel shows Tobey Maguire (the first big-screen Spider-Man actor), with only the numbers '1 2 3' referencing his original trilogy that does not follow the 'Home' naming convention, creating contrast between the two actor runs.

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 meme is a screenshot of a Tumblr conversation paired with a photo of a real fluffy white cat. The photo shows the cat's front legs standing on a wooden shelf, where the cat naturally has two symmetrical black heart-shaped markings on its lower front legs, right above its paws. Tumblr user emerald-imperial originally posted the photo asking others to look at their cat's feet, and another user setheverman replied with a joke that the heart markings are ankle tattoos, calling the cat a hipster for having trendy small tattoos. The joke plays on the resemblance of the natural fur markings to trendy ankle tattoos popular in hipster subculture.

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.
