Ah, romance isn't dead after all

This is a two-panel meme using the popular 'Woman Yelling at Cat' format. The left panel is overlaid with text reading 'You said my teeth are like the stars', and shows an angry, shouting blonde woman pointing aggressively while being held back by a second woman. The right panel is overlaid with text reading 'They come out at night', and shows a neutral, unimpressed white cat (Smudge the Cat) sitting at a dinner table in front of a plate of vegetables. The joke relies on a pun subverting romantic expectations: the speaker initially thinks their partner is complimenting their teeth as bright, beautiful stars, but the punchline reveals the comparison refers to dentures or removable teeth that are only taken out at night, creating a humorous anti-romantic punchline that aligns with the original post's title 'Ah, romance isn't dead after all'.

Origin notes

This meme is a remix of the viral 'Woman Yelling at Cat' meme format, originally shared on the Reddit r/meme subreddit with the title 'Ah, romance isn't dead after all'. The left panel source is a scene from the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featuring cast members Taylor Armstrong (the yelling woman) and Kyle Richards (the woman holding her back). The right panel is a viral photo of Smudge, an internet-famous cat. This specific joke variant circulated widely across Reddit, Twitter/X, Instagram, and other social media platforms in the early 2020s as a relatable, humorous take on subverted romantic expectations.

The left panel features two women from 'The Real Housewives' reality TV series: one blonde woman aggressively points and yells with her mouth open, while another woman stands beside her looking concerned.

This relatable introvert meme opens with text describing a common interaction: a friend invites the poster to go out socially, the poster declines saying they already have plans. The image below shows what those 'plans' actually are: a cozy night in, where a woman drinks soda and eats pizza, joined by three pet cats. The foreground white cat is edited to look like it is taking a group selfie, playing into the joke that a quiet night with pets and comfort food is the perfect plan for many people.

This relatable meme leans into the introvert experience of prioritizing cozy, low-key nights in over social outings. The top text establishes a dialogue: a friend asks, "You wanna come out?" and the responder replies, "Sorry, already have plans." The lower portion of the meme reveals these "plans": a person relaxing on a couch, sipping a Coca-Cola, holding a slice of pizza, surrounded by three expressive cats. One white cat leans close to the camera with a silly, wide-eyed expression and its tongue sticking out; another white cat stands on furniture in the background; a tabby cat in the bottom right looks on with a surprised face. The joke hinges on the contrast between the implication of "important plans" and the actual casual, comforting night in, framing staying in with pets and comfort food as a fulfilling, intentional choice rather than a boring alternative. The chaotic, happy energy of the cats amplifies the wholesome, relatable humor of the scene.

This is a pun-based meme using the popular 'Woman Yelling at Cat' format. The top of the image displays a real store sign for Tito's Pizza, where the letter 'o' in 'Tito's' is replaced with a graphic of a red tomato, creating a visual that can be misread as 'Tit's Pizza'. The left panel shows a yelling woman (Taylor Armstrong from *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*) pointing aggressively, labeled 'Titos Pizza', representing the official, intended reading of the store name. The right panel shows the unimpressed Smudge the Cat sitting at a dinner table, labeled 'Tit's Pizza', representing the crude, suggestive alternative reading of the sign. The meme's original title 'Le Tits now' is a phonetic pun on the phrase 'Let's now', leaning into the crude double meaning of the sign's visual design.

A two-panel meme contrasting a fruit-on-pizza debate. Left panel: Two women, one aggressively pointing and the other looking shocked, with text 'Pineapple can't go on pizza, it's a fruit'. Right panel: A white cat sitting at a dining table with a salad, appearing unimpressed, with text 'Tomato and olives are fruits'. The joke highlights the hypocrisy of opposing pineapple (a fruit) on pizza while accepting tomatoes and olives (also fruits) as standard toppings.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that makes a relatable joke about cat owner sleep routines. The top panel shows a groggy, half-asleep human man lying in bed, woken up in the middle of the night by his cat at 3 AM, matching the caption on the right. The bottom panel shows a similarly groggy, annoyed half-asleep cat, who was woken up from his nap by the human at 1 PM, with the matching caption. The joke highlights how cats have the exact same annoyed reaction to having their sleep interrupted that humans do when cats wake them up overnight.

A humorous meme structured with the 'no one:' template, featuring a black and white cat with a wide-eyed, startled expression. The top text reads 'no one:' (indicating no context or prompt), followed by 'my cat at 4:00 am:' (setting the scenario).

A two-panel meme featuring a black cat. The top panel shows the cat with an indifferent, side-eyed expression, accompanied by the text 'People yelling at me to get off the table,' depicting the cat's nonchalant reaction to direct scolding. The bottom panel shows the same cat with wide, startled eyes, paired with the text 'Someone sneezing three rooms away,' humorously contrasting its lack of concern for immediate commands with its exaggerated alertness to a distant, minor sound. This highlights the common playful stereotype of cats having selective attention.

The meme consists of two lines of text above a viral photograph of two dogs on green grass appearing to laugh hysterically. The top text reads 'Then he said: "Come in he doesn't bite."', followed by the second line 'And I bit him!!!'. The two dogs, a light-colored large breed and a German Shepherd, are positioned in front of a pink laptop, seemingly cackling at the ironic joke where the dog bit a visitor immediately after its owner claimed it would not bite, creating a silly, humorous effect.

This is a humorous edited meme featuring a blurry close-up of a white cat being held up to a microphone as if it is being interviewed. Text next to the microphone reads 'people asking me "so tell me about yourself"', representing a common icebreaker or interview question. The cat's response, presented in a speech bubble, is simply 'I like frog', a deliberately absurd, short, unrelated answer that plays on the humor of giving an unhinged, hyper-specific response to a generic personal question.

The meme features a top text line reading 'When you find the one just hold on to them', paired with a photo of a wide-eyed tabby cat clinging tightly to a person's arm. The cat has its front paws wrapped around the person's wrist, looking upward with a soft, attached, slightly startled expression, perfectly illustrating the caption's message about cherishing and holding tightly onto loved ones or valued people/things you care about.

This is a two-panel meme using the popular 'Woman Yelling at Cat' format. The left panel shows two cast members from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with Taylor Armstrong angrily yelling and pointing, paired with the text 'It's Hantavirus' above it. The right panel features the viral Smudge the Cat sitting at a dinner table with an unimpressed expression, paired with the text 'Hentaivirus' above it. The joke relies on a common typo/wordplay where internet users misread the name of the real rodent-borne Hantavirus as 'Hentaivirus', a portmanteau combining Hantavirus with 'hentai' (anime pornography), implying that the cat (representing many internet users) is more interested in the lewd pun than the actual public health topic.
