This meme features Beaker, the iconic anxious red-haired Muppet from *The Muppets* franchise, set against a solid black background. Overlaid in bold white uppercase text is the joke: 1. I WILL BE POSTING TELEPATHICALLY TODAY. 2. SO IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING FUNNY, 3. THAT WAS ME. The humor comes from the absurd, playful claim that the poster is using telepathy to insert funny thoughts into the viewer's mind, taking credit for any comedic idea the viewer has. Beaker's wide-eyed, worried expression enhances the joke, as his nervous demeanor contrasts with the confident, silly assertion of telepathic posting. It's a lighthearted, relatable meme that pokes fun at taking credit for unoriginal (but funny) thoughts.

The image consists of a text header above a candid park photograph. The top text reads 'Old woman uses a marionette of herself to feed squirrels in the park'. The photo shows an elderly woman wearing a headscarf, long brown coat, and using a crutch, holding the control bars for a marionette. The marionette is a small doll crafted to look identical to the woman, posed to offer food to a wild squirrel that is standing on the pavement in front of it, taking the food. In the background, a photographer with gray hair is bent over taking photos of the unusual, charming scene, with a park bench and green foliage visible behind all subjects. The scene is sweet and surprising, showing a creative, playful approach to interacting with park wildlife.

The image consists of two parts: a top text dialogue and a bottom visual. The top text reads: 'Dentist: Do you smoke or drink coffee? Me: I drink it Dentist:'. The bottom visual is a screenshot of Kermit the Frog, a green puppet character from The Muppets, with a wide-eyed, slightly confused expression—his eyes are large and round, and his mouth is slightly open, giving a look of skepticism or puzzlement. The humor arises from the ambiguous response 'I drink it' (which could refer to either smoking or coffee, though context implies coffee), leaving the Dentist's follow-up unspoken, paired with Kermit's reaction that mirrors the confusion or bemusement at the vague answer.

This is a dark humor meme split into two sections. The top section contains black text on a white background that reads 'When the surgeon says oops during a brain surgery'. The lower section is a high-contrast black and white image of an uncanny, distorted wide-eyed humanoid character with a terrified, alarmed expression peeking out from a nearly entirely dark background. The meme jokes about the extreme, absurd dread and panic a patient would feel if a surgeon made a mistake in the middle of a high-risk procedure like brain surgery, using the exaggerated shocked reaction image to amplify the comedic effect of the high-stakes scenario.

This meme features text at the top expressing frustration with older people who dismiss young people's exhaustion by saying they are "too young to be tired", followed by a petty, sarcastic retort addressing a hypothetical older woman named Margaret saying she is "too old to be alive but here we are". Below the text is an image of Kermit the Frog, the green Muppet character, with a smug, unimpressed, self-satisfied expression holding a pen as if he has just written the sassy response and is unbothered by any potential backlash.

This is a dark humor meme using screenshots of classic Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie. In the image, Ernie is positioned behind a drum wearing plaid house slippers, facing Bert who sits on an armchair holding a book with a stern, frustrated expression. The caption below explains that Ernie spent over $2000 from his and Bert's joint savings account to buy what was claimed to be Ann Frank's drum kit from a shady seller on Craigslist, and Bert is trying to hold back his anger while explaining that Ann Frank, who hid in a tiny secret annex during the Holocaust to avoid Nazi persecution, could never have owned a drum kit. The joke relies on the absurdity of Ernie's foolish purchase, well-known historical facts about Ann Frank's living situation, and the classic character dynamic of impulsive, nonsensical Ernie and exasperated, responsible Bert.

The image features Kermit the Frog, a green Muppet character, sitting on a small wooden stool against a plain gray background.

The meme expresses a relatable mood of being burnt out, irritable, and drained by daily life.

This meme depicts the common relatable experience of procrastination. The top text describes a scenario where someone plans to complete a task at 8, notices the time is 5 minutes past 8, and decides to delay the task until 9 instead of starting immediately. Below the text is a photo of a Kermit the Frog plush toy leaning back against bed pillows with his hands behind his head, looking relaxed and unbothered, perfectly illustrating the laid-back, avoidant attitude of someone procrastinating their responsibilities.

The image depicts two iconic Muppets characters, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, against a red curtain backdrop. Miss Piggy, characterized by her long blonde hair, sparkly black dress, and pearl necklace, has a speech bubble stating, 'The dryer shrank my jeans.' Kermit the Frog, a green frog with a friendly demeanor, stands beside her with a speech bubble responding, 'I'm pretty sure it was the fridge.' The humor arises from subverting the common frustration of clothes shrinking by misattributing the cause to a fridge (which does not shrink clothes) instead of the dryer, creating a playful and absurd twist.
