Me when I smell onions and garlic cooking in the kitchen

Overview

A meme featuring a menacing werewolf-like creature standing in a dark, eerie forest with a full moon illuminating the background. The creature is roaring aggressively with its mouth wide open and claws outstretched in a threatening posture. Overlaid at the bottom of the image is the text: 'Me when I smell onions and garlic cooking in the kitchen,' creating a humorous exaggeration of the intense excitement or craving triggered by the smell of cooking onions and garlic.

Origin notes

Originates from the Reddit meme community, likely created by overlaying comedic text onto an existing fantasy-style image of a werewolf or monster in a spooky forest setting. The image is a remix that combines a dramatic, fearsome visual with a relatable, everyday scenario (reacting to food smells) to generate humor through contrast and exaggeration.

This meme combines a dramatic, AI-generated fantasy image of a werewolf with satirical text about musician Billie Eilish. The werewolf is depicted in a dark, moonlit forest, tearing open a shirt-like garment while howling intensely, with crows flying in the background. The overlaid text reads: 'how Billie Eilish felt deporting guy back to Australia after saying "No one is illegal on stolen land"'. The joke is an exaggerated, satirical take on a hypothetical scenario, playing on conversations around Indigenous land rights, deportation, and using the feral werewolf reaction to amplify the supposed emotional response of Billie Eilish in this made-up situation.

This is a two-part contrast meme using dark fantasy artwork from the video game Dark Souls 3. The upper section shows a towering, imposing, enraged version of the boss character Slave Knight Gael holding a large greatsword, overlaid with the text 'My flirting skill when I am not serious'. The lower section shows a tiny, weak, outmatched small version of the same character holding a tiny dagger at the foot of the giant figure, overlaid with the text 'My flirting skill when I am in love'. The meme humorously illustrates the relatable experience where people are confident, smooth, and effective at flirting when they have no real romantic interest in the other person, but become awkward, incompetent, and ineffective at flirting when they genuinely have feelings for someone.

This meme uses a scene from *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers*. On the left, the scheming character Grima Wormtongue is labeled "My internet-poisoned brain", leaning in to whisper into the ear of the exhausted, aged King Theoden on the right, who is labeled "Me reading the word 'citrussy' on a restaurant menu". The joke relies on popular internet slang: the suffix "-ussy" is widely used online to create vulgar puns, so people who spend significant time online automatically misparse the innocent, standard adjective "citrussy" (meaning having a citrus flavor) as an inappropriate vulgar term, causing awkward distress.

This is a single-panel reaction meme featuring the animated villain Skeletor from the 1980s *He-Man and the Masters of the Universe* series. The top overlaid text reads 'WHEN PEOPLE INSULT YOU BY SAYING YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SEX.' Skeletor is depicted grinning widely and pointing mockingly forward. The bottom overlaid text reads 'YOU FOOL! I'M ASEXUAL!' The core joke is that the insult intended to upset the target is completely ineffective, as the target is asexual and does not desire sexual activity, so the supposed insult is entirely irrelevant to them.

Joke's on you, I'm not into that shit!

An animated meme featuring an abstract, orange, bird-like creature standing in a dark, outdoor setting with trees in the background. The creature has a long neck, thin legs, and is pointing with one appendage at a rock. The rock has a small illustration of the USA map (with 'USA' labeled) on its surface.

This is a two-panel meme created from screenshots of a scene from the HBO fantasy series *Game of Thrones*. The first panel shows the character Tyrion Lannister speaking to a figure whose back is turned to the viewer, overlaid with the text "She never fooled you."
