They don't want to tell us the truth about Wile E. Coyote

This is a 3-panel edited meme combining assets from Family Guy and Looney Tunes. Panel 1 shows Family Guy character Joe Swanson posing a logical question about Looney Tunes canon: if Wile E. Coyote's ACME traps never kill him when they backfire, there is no reason to believe they would kill the Road Runner if they worked. Panel 2 shows Joe being immediately disintegrated by a bright pink laser blast as onlookers react with shock. Panel 3 cuts to an ACME Corporation security control room full of monitoring staff, where Wile E. Coyote appears in military uniform standing next to a human military official. The final punchline text reads 'He was asking too many questions.' The joke plays on a popular fan conspiracy theory that Wile E. Coyote is not actually attempting to catch the Road Runner, but is secretly a paid ACME employee field testing the company's dangerous products, with ACME silencing anyone who uncovers this secret.

This is a 3-panel meme made from edited scenes from the animated show Family Guy. In the top left panel, character Joe Swanson asks the question: why do months have varying lengths of 28, 29, 30, and 31 days, instead of just having only 30 and 31 day months? In the top right panel, Joe is immediately killed by a glowing disintegration laser, while surrounding bystanders look on in shock. The bottom panel shows two military commanders watching security screens displaying the disintegration, with text that reads "He was asking too many questions." The meme jokes about how the strange uneven number of days in months comes from obscure historical Roman calendar changes, and jokes that anyone questioning this inconsistent system gets "taken out" as a silly conspiracy-style joke.

This three-panel meme uses Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin from the animated TV show *Family Guy* to deliver a joke about DC Comics' Justice League. In the first panel, Brian is labeled 'Superman' and says, 'The Justice League will pay for the damages,' with a tired, resigned expression. The second panel shows Stewie reacting with wide, shocked eyes, looking at Brian. In the third panel, Stewie is labeled 'Batman,' maintaining his shocked, bewildered look. The humor comes from the common DC trope that Batman, being extremely wealthy, is always the one who ends up covering the costs of the Justice League's property damage, subverting Superman's statement by implying Batman will be the one footing the bill.

This two-panel meme compares the typical reactions of predators and prey animals when encountering humans. The top panel uses the viral 'confused math lady' meme, showing a woman looking calm and calculating surrounded by complex math formulas, captioned 'When a predator animal sees you' to imply predators carefully evaluate if a human is worth attacking, rarely acting unprovoked. The bottom panel uses a chaotic scene from South Park where Randy Marsh is panicking and flailing his arms wildly, captioned 'When a prey animal sees you' to joke that prey animals have extremely skittish, unpredictable overreactions that make them far more likely to lash out and harm humans unexpectedly, supporting the core joke that prey animals are more dangerous to encounter than predators.

This animated meme shows clumsy cartoon character Peter Griffin from *Family Guy* spinning uncontrollably while falling through a cloudy blue sky, with every frame captioned 'DB Cooper after escaping with $200,000'. The joke plays on the famous unsolved real-life DB Cooper case: in 1971, DB Cooper hijacked a plane, extorted a $200,000 ransom, then parachuted out of the plane over the Pacific Northwest and was never seen or identified again. The meme humorously implies that Cooper never successfully landed safely after his jump, and is still tumbling to his death mid-fall, which explains why he was never found, matching the meme's original title 'And he was never seen again'.
