This meme consists of two sections: the top section features a grammatically correct but highly confusing sentence that uses the word 'that' five consecutive times, reading: "He specified that that 'that' that that man used was incorrect." The bottom section is a widely recognized reaction photo of professional wrestler John Cena, who has a shocked, bewildered, confused expression with his mouth agape, as if reacting to how difficult it is to parse the sentence above. The humor comes from the juxtaposition of the mind-bending grammar example and the relatable confused reaction, as most readers struggle to understand the sentence on first pass even though it is technically proper English.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.

This is a two-panel comparative relatable meme. The left column has text labels: the top label reads 'NO INTERNET' paired with a right panel of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films looking calm, resigned, and slightly disappointed. The bottom left label reads 'SLOW INTERNET' paired with a distorted, stretched edit of Tobey Maguire screaming/crying in frustration. The joke conveys the common relatable sentiment that slow, barely functional internet is significantly more frustrating and infuriating than having no internet at all, as slow internet prevents users from completing tasks smoothly while teasing that connectivity exists.
