This meme parodies the typical wikiHow step-by-step guide format, purporting to be an article titled 'How To Be Happy' under the Emotions and Feelings > Happiness category. It uses the signature simple, clean wikiHow illustration style: a blonde man with a calm, slight smile is shown next to a thought bubble containing a glowing lightbulb that symbolizes thoughts or ideas. The first and only visible listed step is 'Stop having thoughts', an absurd, darkly humorous and highly relatable joke implying overthinking and excessive rumination are the primary obstacles to happiness, poking fun at overly simplistic self-help advice.

This is a humorous edited meme using a classic WikiHow illustration originally depicting a person comforting an upset individual on a beach. The upset character on the left, who is holding their head in their hands in distress, is labeled with the text 'my anxiety thinking that everyone hates me'. The character on the right, who is leaning forward to comfort the upset person, is labeled with 'my depression telling me no one cares enough about me to hate me'. The joke highlights the contradictory, competing negative intrusive thoughts that people living with both anxiety and depression often experience, where two separate mental health issues create opposing but equally upsetting thought patterns.

This is a 4-panel comic meme that jokes about the extremely relatable experience of trying to fall asleep at night, only for your own brain to derail your attempt with intrusive, anxiety-inducing thoughts. Panel 1: A personified pink cartoon brain asks the woman 'Are you trying to sleep?'. Panel 2: The tired woman lying in bed responds 'Yes, so please shut the fuck up'. Panel 3: The brain ignores her request and drops a disturbing intrusive thought: 'You've probably encountered someone who has secretly wanted to kill you'. Panel 4: The woman is now completely wide awake, staring wide-eyed in the dark, unable to fall asleep anymore after the unsettling thought. The meme perfectly captures how overactive brains ruin sleep for many people.

This is a satirical edited screenshot parodying the wikiHow self-help format, showing a fictional article titled 'How to Accept Your Failures' under the Personal Development > Personal Failure category. It features the typical cheerful wikiHow illustrated man in a blue shirt sitting at a desk with a laptop, grinning widely and giving a thumbs up. The first listed step is an absurdly dark, nihilistic piece of advice: 'Remember one day the sun will explode. and no one will even be alive to remember you.' The humor stems from the extreme disconnect between the earnest, helpful tone and art style typical of wikiHow, and the overly bleak existential advice that trivializes all personal failure by comparing it to the eventual heat death of the solar system.

A four-panel meme depicting a person progressively applying clown makeup while accompanying text describes a relatable morning routine: setting multiple alarms, hitting snooze, complaining about lateness, and questioning life stress.

This is a single-panel line art meme. At the top, text sets up the joke: first a line attributed to a therapist reads 'Excessive sleeping is a sign of depression.', followed by 'Me:' and the punchline 'can't mistakey if not awakey', using cutesy, deliberately misspelled words with added -ey suffixes for a playful tone. Below the text is a simple black-and-white drawing of a person lying peacefully asleep in bed, covered by a blanket and resting their head on a pillow. The joke is a self-deprecating, relatable bit of humor where the speaker playfully dismisses the therapist's valid concern about their excessive sleeping, framing their choice to sleep constantly as a way to avoid making mistakes or dealing with problems while awake.

This is a two-panel comparison meme using edited versions of the SpongeBob SquarePants character. The top panel has text on the left reading 'Wake up at 6.00 am after 7 hours of sleep', paired on the right with a disheveled, haggard, heavily wrinkled version of SpongeBob with bloodshot, droopy eyes, appearing extremely exhausted and unwell. The bottom panel has text on the left reading 'Wake up at 11.00 am after 5 hours of sleep', paired on the right with a polished, handsome, human-like version of SpongeBob with clear blue eyes, smooth skin, and a calm, well-rested expression. The meme jokes about the common counterintuitive real-life experience where people often feel far more rested waking up later after less sleep, compared to waking up early after getting a longer amount of sleep.

This is a 2-panel comparative meme. The top left panel features a Black man with visible tears in his eyes, holding back sobs while facing the camera, paired with text on the right that reads 'People spending months to years grieving a bad situation'. The bottom left panel features a different Black man grinning while putting on a pair of gold-tinted sunglasses, paired with text on the right that reads 'Me who unconsciously represses every bad memory and forgets about it until someone reminds me'.

This is a 4-panel hand-drawn comic meme. In the first panel, a cartoon anthropomorphized pink brain with wide open eyes asks 'Trying to relax after smoking weed?'. The second panel shows a girl lying comfortably in bed with her eyes closed, calmly replying 'That's right'. In the third panel, the brain speaks again, saying 'How bout a panic attack instead?'. The fourth panel shows the same girl now wide awake with huge, startled, terrified eyes, jolted out of her relaxed state by an unexpected panic attack. The meme humorously depicts the common, relatable negative experience many cannabis users face when they consume the substance expecting to relax, but instead have an unplanned anxiety or panic attack.

The left panel is marked with a red 'X' indicating a bad choice: it shows a brown-haired man in a light blue shirt holding a smartphone, with text reading 'don't waste your time on your phone'. The right panel is marked with a red check mark indicating the recommended good choice: it shows the same man resting his arms on a table staring blankly ahead, with text reading 'simply stare blankly into space instead'.
