We Have Thames At Home Meme
![This meme follows the popular "we have [desired item] at home" comedic format. The top red text shows a child asking their mother if they can travel to England to visit the River Thames. The middle red text is the mother's reply rejecting the request, saying they have the Thames at home. The bottom white text reveals the so-called "Thames at home" is the algae-choked, murky green Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, with the Washington Monument visible reflected in the water and tourists walking along the adjacent sidewalk, poking fun at the polluted state of the reflecting pool as an inferior knockoff of the actual Thames.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/d5/a5/07/27/d5a5072767f442005e7ed60ca27550a0.jpeg.webp)

Overview
This meme follows the popular "we have [desired item] at home" comedic format. The top red text shows a child asking their mother if they can travel to England to visit the River Thames. The middle red text is the mother's reply rejecting the request, saying they have the Thames at home. The bottom white text reveals the so-called "Thames at home" is the algae-choked, murky green Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, with the Washington Monument visible reflected in the water and tourists walking along the adjacent sidewalk, poking fun at the polluted state of the reflecting pool as an inferior knockoff of the actual Thames.
Origin notes
The meme is sourced from the Reddit Meme subreddit via RSS feed. It repurposes the ubiquitous "we have it at home" meme template, which humorously contrasts a high-quality desired thing with a low-budget, subpar local alternative, edited over a real photo of the visibly polluted reflecting pool on the National Mall in Washington DC.
![This meme is a silly pun parody of the iconic James Bond introduction line *"The name's Bond... James Bond"*. The image displays a screenshot of a digital map showing a pond labeled **James Pond**, with an adjacent road partially labeled **James Pond R[oad]**. The top text *"The Name's Pond..."* sets up the joke, mirroring the structure of Bond's catchphrase to create a goofy, wordplay-driven punchline centered on the pond's name.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/6c/a3/a1/e2/6ca3a1e283cc1077aadffb3d37dac92a.jpeg.webp)
![A humorous meme featuring a colorful map of the contiguous United States (with Alaska and Hawaii insets) where each state is labeled. At the top of the image, a large white speech bubble contains the text: "If you don't like the weather in [Insert State], wait five minutes". Multiple thin white lines radiate downward from the speech bubble, visually connecting it to every individual state on the map. This design comically suggests that every U.S. state claims their weather is uniquely variable, with the shared joke applied universally across regions.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/8a/96/67/42/8a9667428772d7e1133aafd33b234147.jpeg.webp)
