This is a two-panel stock photo meme. The first panel depicts an elderly male patient holding his lower back in visible discomfort, speaking to a male doctor in a clinical office setting, with a speech bubble reading 'Doctor, my back hurts when I wake up in the morning'. The second panel shows the same doctor grinning and giving two thumbs up, offering the absurdly unhelpful sarcastic advice 'Wake up in the afternoon then'. The joke comes from the doctor avoiding addressing the actual cause of the patient's pain, instead suggesting a lazy, impractical workaround that avoids the triggering action entirely.

This is an image macro meme. At the top of the image, white text on a black background reads 'Me telling my son cocomelon died so I can watch the world cup'. The visual below shows an adult man with a smug, unapologetic, mischievous expression holding the sides of a young boy's face with his hand, while the young boy cries hysterically, appearing extremely distressed. The joke leans into relatable parent humor, exaggerating the extreme, silly lie a parent might tell to avoid having to watch the extremely popular children's show Cocomelon, so they can instead view World Cup sports programming, even if it upsets their child temporarily.

A meme featuring a photograph of two individuals on a grassy sports field. The top text reads 'WHEN YOU POUR TOO MUCH SODA AND IT STARTS TO SPILL'. One person, wearing a light gray jacket, leans forward and firmly grips the head of another individual in a dark sports jersey with white stripes. The humor lies in the exaggerated, urgent grip being compared to the frantic attempt to manage an overflowing soda.

This is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post from user Kiki @kikisknees that questions why BBC Sport deleted an original tweet about Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout. The original BBC graphic shows the sprinter celebrating after his race, with text confirming he ran 200m faster than Usain Bolt did at the same age of 18. The joke/pun here is that the athlete's name "Gout Gout" matches the name of the painful inflammatory medical condition gout, which is why the tweet was reportedly taken down.

This 9Gag meme titled 'Fatigue' uses a screenshot of a UK Mirror news article featuring British Transport Police CCTV footage from a public bus. The footage shows convicted murderer Dino Donaldson laughing shortly after he stabbed a student to death, as detailed in the accompanying article headline and text describing his confession and upcoming life sentence.
