This iteration applies the format to the common relatable experience of watching TV with a partner.

The meme features two Shiba Inu dog characters side by side to compare TV show episode counts between the past and present. On the left, a muscular, anthropomorphic Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows back then' with the text '24 episodes per season' below it, symbolizing the higher episode count of older shows. On the right, a smaller, non-muscular Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows now' with the text '5 episodes per season' below it, representing the reduced episode count of modern shows. The visual contrast between the strong and weak physique of the dogs humorously emphasizes the decline in episode quantity over time.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using images of TV host Steve Harvey. The top caption reads 'When you're enjoying a show and the next episode is named after your favourite character'. The left panel shows Steve Harvey laughing loudly in amusement, while the right panel shows him looking panicked, holding a microphone up to his face like he is holding back distress or tears. The joke relies on the common trope in serialized television where an episode named after a specific character almost always signals that bad, often tragic, events will happen to that character, causing a viewer's joy at seeing their favorite character's name in the episode title to immediately turn to dread.

This is a 3-panel exploitable meme. The text at the top reads "Writers of popular tv shows when it's about writing the final season:". The first panel shows a cartoon man in a white t-shirt and purple pants riding a bicycle downhill while holding a stick, looking focused. The second panel shows the man intentionally stabbing the front wheel of his still-moving bicycle with the stick while riding. The third panel shows the man crashed onto the grass next to the road, lying on his side in pain next to his destroyed bicycle. The joke serves as a metaphor for how writers of successful, popular TV shows often unnecessarily sabotage their own work by producing poorly received final seasons, ruining the audience's experience of the entire series for no apparent reason.

The left panel is marked with the date 1/12/2016, showing Marge sitting on a short stool with a bottom caption that reads "okay as soon as this depressive episode ends i'm gonna be productive". The right panel is marked 5/7/2022, showing the same room and pose, except the stool Marge sits on is now significantly taller, with her feet dangling far above the floor. The joke highlights the common experience of people struggling with depression who intend to be productive once their mental health improves, only to find themselves stuck in the same depressive state for years with no progress.

This meme consists of a short text conversation followed by a reaction image. The text reads: 'bro: I like boys', 'me: which episode's your favorite?', 'bro: episode?', 'me:'. The image under 'me:' is a close-up shot of the character Homelander from the live-action series *The Boys* giving a blank, awkward, unamused stare. The joke is a pun-based misunderstanding: the speaker assumes 'boys' refers to the popular superhero TV show *The Boys*, while the 'bro' means he is romantically/sexually attracted to men, leading to an awkward moment of realization for the speaker.
