A two-panel meme featuring an animated fish character from SpongeBob SquarePants, often referred to as 'FBI Fish' or 'Officer Fish'. The top panel shows the character with a disgusted expression, sticking out its tongue and placing its hands near its face, accompanied by the text: 'Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions'. The bottom panel depicts the same character sitting at a table, wiping its mouth with a napkin and looking satisfied, with the text: 'the very same lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions but in a burger'. The meme humorously contrasts the negative reaction to raw burger ingredients alone versus the positive reaction when they are combined in a burger.

This is a dark mode screenshot of an SMS/text conversation between two anonymous people. The conversation opens with the first person asking 'what're we eating tonight?'. The second person first replies 'hmmm', then sends an eggplant emoji followed by a wedge of cheese emoji. The first person misinterprets the emoji combination, responding with three wide-eyed shocked face emojis and the shocked question 'dick cheese??', referencing the common internet slang use of the eggplant emoji as a stand-in for a penis. The second person immediately panics, replying 'NOOO' before clarifying they meant the Italian dish eggplant parmesan. The first person then sends a sad frowning face emoji. The humor of the meme relies on the widely recognized crude sexual innuendo associated with the eggplant emoji leading to an awkward, unexpected miscommunication.

This 4-panel crudely drawn stick figure meme uses the classic 'nobody:' setup, which indicates the following behavior occurs unprompted, to show the relatable experience of eating a ripe mango. The first panel shows a simple stick figure holding a scored mango with small amounts of juice dripping. The second panel shows the same figure aggressively eating the mango, with mango juice smeared all over its face and dripping down its arms. The third panel shows the figure sitting in a large puddle of mango juice, still holding the fruit, completely covered in juice. The final panel shows a simplified wide-eyed stick figure holding the leftover mango core, with the text 'So good' below it. The joke exaggerates how messy people get when enjoying a sweet, juicy mango, leaning into the relatable, silly tone of low-effort stick figure memes.

A two-panel meme contrasting a fruit-on-pizza debate. Left panel: Two women, one aggressively pointing and the other looking shocked, with text 'Pineapple can't go on pizza, it's a fruit'. Right panel: A white cat sitting at a dining table with a salad, appearing unimpressed, with text 'Tomato and olives are fruits'. The joke highlights the hypocrisy of opposing pineapple (a fruit) on pizza while accepting tomatoes and olives (also fruits) as standard toppings.

This is a 2x2 grid meme following the widely used 'No one:' meme template. The top of the meme has text reading 'No one:' followed by 'That one person:'. The left column features two photos of the same man: the top left shows him making a disgusted, repulsed facial expression while holding his hand up in a rejecting gesture, paired with the top right image of a whole raw tomato and a sliced raw tomato. The bottom left shows the same man happily taking a bite of a slice of pepperoni pizza, paired with the bottom right image of a plate of spaghetti with red tomato sauce and a full pepperoni pizza. The joke humorously highlights the extremely common contradictory food preference where many people dislike eating raw tomatoes, but greatly enjoy cooked tomato-based dishes such as pizza and pasta sauce.

This is a variant of the popular Actual Advice Mallard internet meme. It features a stock photograph of a male mallard duck floating calmly on rippling water, with bold white text with black outlines placed at the top and bottom of the image. The top text reads 'ALWAYS MASTURBATE' and the bottom text reads 'BEFORE A DATE'. The crude humorous advice refers to the idea that masturbating prior to a romantic date reduces sexual desperation and impulse, which the joke claims prevents you from overrating your date's attractiveness (as noted in the original 9GAG title stating 'Believe me, it turns a 10 into a 4!', referencing common 1-10 attractiveness rating scales) and making poor decisions driven by sexual arousal.

This is a single-panel pun meme on a plain white background. At the top, text reads 'finally I am on a date'. A simple black line-drawn stick figure with a bored, unimpressed expression stands with its hands on its hips and one leg casually crossed, positioned next to a large photograph of a dried date fruit. The joke relies on the double meaning of the English word 'date': one definition is a romantic social meeting, while the other refers to the dried fruit shown. The meme ties to its original title to imply the person represented by the stick figure is quirky or unusual, as their idea of going on a date is literally being in the presence of the date fruit instead of a romantic partner, often used as a relatable joke for single people or those who joke about their odd dating habits.

This is a lighthearted silly pun meme formatted like a missing dog notice. At the top, the text reads 'Missing dog. If anyone ceasar, lettuce know' which uses homophone wordplay: 'ceasar' sounds like 'see her' and 'lettuce' sounds like 'let us', so the phrase actually means 'If anyone sees her, let us know', which is a common line on missing pet posters. Below the text, there is a sculpture of a dog shaped entirely out of green lettuce and cabbage leaves, which ties the pun together visually: Caesar salad is a popular lettuce-based salad, so the joke combines the wordplay with a literal lettuce/Caesar dog.

This single-panel meme features bold black text at the top that reads 'When she asks you for a pic', followed by a photograph of a curved banana positioned upright above two round oranges arranged to intentionally resemble a phallic shape against a plain white background. At the bottom, more bold black text reads 'but you know she's vegan'. The joke relies on a double entendre: 'asking for a pic' is common slang for requesting explicit nude photos of a partner, often specifically a phallic explicit photo. Instead of sending a personal explicit photo, the creator substitutes the suggestive shape with entirely plant-based, vegan-friendly fruits, fulfilling the spirit of the request while catering to the recipient's vegan dietary preference.

This meme uses a three-stage visual sequence to deliver a crude pun joke. The first panel displays an intact peanut with the text *"This is a peanut"*. The second panel shows the peanut shell cracked open with the text *"I broke it"*. The third panel delivers the punchline: *"You just watched me bust a nut, you perv!"*, which plays on the double meaning of the slang phrase "bust a nut"—referring both to breaking open a peanut shell and a vulgar term for sexual climax. The humor comes from the unexpected, vulgar twist applied to a mundane action of opening a peanut.

This image is a 2x2 grid meme featuring three classic dessert pies and a playful pun compliment. The top-left panel shows a slice of cherry-filled Cherry Pie with its label; the top-right displays a slice of Apple Pie with visible fruit filling; the bottom-left is a slice of Pumpkin Pie topped with whipped cream, labeled accordingly. The bottom-right panel replaces a food pie with a simple, generic outline icon of a person labeled "YOU" above the text "Cutie Pie". The core joke is a pun: "Cutie Pie" is a warm, affectionate term of endearment, playing off the food pie names in the other three panels to frame the viewer as a sweet, likable "pie"—a lighthearted, wholesome compliment paired with familiar dessert imagery.

This two-panel wholesome pun meme uses a public domain portrait of William Shakespeare and a stock image of a pear to create a phonetic joke. **Panel 1**: Shows two separate elements: left is Shakespeare's portrait labeled *William*, right is a green pear labeled *Pear*. **Panel 2**: Edits the portrait to have a hand extending from it holding the pear, with the combined label *William Shakespear* (a playful misspelling of Shakespeare, replacing 'speare' with 'pear' to match the fruit). The humor comes from the phonetic similarity between 'spear' (from Shakespeare) and 'pear', creating a lighthearted, silly gag.
