This two-panel Wojak comparison meme uses a pun on the word 'burnout' to contrast the experience of 'burnout' as a child versus as an adult. The top panel features a happy, young smiling Wojak sitting next to three physical copies of the *Burnout* racing game series for PlayStation 2, representing what 'burnout' meant as a child: playing the popular arcade racing video game franchise. The bottom panel features a wrinkled, drained, depressed older Wojak sitting next to a huge stack of paperwork, multiple Microsoft Office application icons, an inbox with 999 unread notifications, a work laptop, and an office desk phone, representing the modern adult definition of burnout: chronic work-related exhaustion and stress. The joke relies on the double meaning of the word 'burnout' to highlight the loss of fun and increase in work stress as people grow up.

This is a screenshot of a viral joke meme, originally posted as a tweet and reposted to Reddit. The post uses the common trope of an extremely aged person sharing their secret to long life, then delivers a humorous punchline: the 110-year-old Turkish grandma says her secret is 'I never once used Microsoft Teams'. The image is split into two panels: the left panel is a photo of the elderly grandma wearing a white headscarf, and the right panel displays the official Microsoft Teams logo. The joke relies on the widespread shared frustration among remote and hybrid office workers, who commonly experience Microsoft Teams as a draining, stressful constant presence in modern work life, implying avoiding it leads to a longer, less stressful life.

This is a 2x2 comparison meme that uses two different images of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to illustrate the stark difference in a person's mood and demeanor between being at work and returning home. The top half pairs an image of an angry, yelling Gordon Ramsay from his cooking show Hell's Kitchen with the text 'Me when I'm at work', while the bottom half pairs a relaxed, smiling image of Gordon Ramsay with the text 'Me the moment I get home', humorously showing how people become much less stressed and happier once they leave work for the day.
