TSA asks passengers to stop calling obese ICE agents icebergs

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 is a two-panel satirical meme. The top text across the image reads: 'TSA is asking passengers to stop calling morbidly obese ICE agents "icebergs."' The left panel shows the back of a heavily overweight male federal police agent wearing a tactical vest marked 'POLICE FEDERAL AGENT' and jeans, walking through what appears to be an airport or public transit facility. The right panel shows another heavily overweight male law enforcement agent, wearing a tactical vest, baseball cap, and sunglasses, holding a plastic water bottle while standing near a crowd behind a barrier with other officers. The core joke is a pun: 'ICE' is the acronym for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the nickname 'icebergs' plays on this acronym while mocking the agents' large body size, as icebergs are very large, heavy masses of ice.

This is a humorous meme centered on an accidental optical illusion in a real-life photograph. In the image, a heavyset man in tactical security-style gear stands in a public crowd; his protruding belly, visible below his vest, aligns perfectly with a clear water bottle held by a man standing directly behind him. This creates the visual trick that the bottle is resting on a large mass of ice, which the meme exaggerates to a "glacier" for comedic effect. Overlaid text amplifies the joke: "that's not ice that's a glacier", "wtf 😭😭✌️✌️", and "OMG BRO" add playful, shocked commentary about the absurd visual coincidence. The crowd in the background suggests this was taken at a public event like a parade or outdoor gathering.

This meme features a candid photo of a physically fit, thick-built male police officer in uniform standing on a roadside next to a white Honda CR-V, appearing to conduct a traffic stop. The top text contains a pun: it reads "Officer Thickems reporting for booty I mean duty", jokingly mixing up the words "booty" (slang for butt, referencing the officer's prominent thick lower body) and "duty", playing on the similar sound of the two words to humorously comment on the officer's striking build.

A meme featuring a Threads post by user 'oni.xxkayxx' that criticizes the replacement of Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan, using the metaphor: 'Replacing Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt.' The image is split into two parts: on the left, a Border Patrol Federal Agent identified as 'G. BOVINO' in uniform with a helmet and tactical gear, standing among other agents; on the right, a man in a suit (presumably Tom Homan) standing outdoors. The post uses sarcasm to imply the replacement is ineffective or superficial.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The top panel features a vintage 1960s photograph of commercial airplane passengers being served an elaborate, luxurious spread of gourmet food and wine by flight attendants, paired with text that reads 'OMG SUSAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW LUXURIOUS PLANES IN 50 YEARS WILL BE?'. The bottom panel shows the modern-day reality of economy class air travel: two passengers are cramped in small, narrow seats, one passenger looks unamused and annoyed while the other is sleeping uncomfortably propped against a pillow. The joke highlights the contrast between mid-20th century optimistic expectations of future air travel luxury and the real-world decline in commercial flight comfort for most passengers over time.

The image includes a text caption at the top stating that two Japan Coast Guard vessels are "crushing" a Chinese Maritime Militia Vessel that illegally entered Japanese territory near the Senkaku Islands. Below the text, an aerial photograph shows two large, white Japan Coast Guard ships flanking and squeezing a smaller, blue and yellow civilian-style vessel identified as the Chinese militia vessel between them, as all three vessels sail on open ocean with visible white wakes from their movement.

This is a classic reaction meme using a well-known press photo template. An older man in a business suit leans in to whisper into the ear of a younger man with a goatee and mustache, who wears a suit and has a visibly distressed, alarmed, worried expression. The text overlaid on the top of the image states the content of the whispered bad news: that unredacted police body camera footage has been leaked. The joke relies on common public understanding that unredacted police bodycam leaks usually contain damning, publicly damaging evidence of law enforcement misconduct, meaning the man receiving the news, implied to be an official tied to law enforcement or government, will face severe negative fallout from the leak.

It features a stock photograph of an angry uniformed police officer holding his hand forward in a 'stop' gesture at the center.

Multiple commonly recognized LGBTQ+ symbols, including the rainbow pride arc, trans/nonbinary gender symbol, rainbow peace sign, pride-themed progress ribbon, and gay male couple symbol, are crossed out with bold red X marks surrounding the police officer. Large red text at the bottom reads 'STOP BEING GAY'.
