See Nobody Cares
The "See Nobody Cares" meme originates from a scene in the 1993 film *Jurassic Park*. It features Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight), the disgruntled computer programmer, attempting to explain something to Miles Chadwick, who maintains a stoic and uninterested expression. The meme typically pairs the two-panel image with the caption "See? Nobody Cares." It is used to convey a sense of dismissal or apathy towards a person's complaints, explanations, or opinions, suggesting that their concerns are irrelevant or that no one is interested in hearing them. The meme often highlights a humorous lack of concern from an audience or expresses a general feeling of indifference towards a situation.
Oprah 'you Get A Car'
The "Oprah 'You Get A Car!'" meme originates from a famous 2004 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. During the segment, Oprah surprised her entire studio audience by giving each person a brand new Pontiac G6 car. Her enthusiastic announcement, particularly the line "You get a car! Everybody gets a car!", became an iconic moment. The meme typically features a still image of Oprah with her arms outstretched, looking overjoyed, often with text superimposed. It's used to express overwhelming generosity, shared excitement, or a situation where everyone receives a desirable item or benefit. It can also be used ironically to imply a widespread, perhaps even unwanted, distribution of something.
My Body Is Machine
The "My Body Is A Machine" meme features a skeleton humorously struggling to lift a heavy barbell, accompanied by the text "MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS [X] INTO [Y]". This meme gained popularity as a relatable expression of self-deprecating humor regarding personal struggles with health, fitness, or daily life. It originates from the common adage "my body is a machine," which typically implies strength and efficiency. However, the meme subverts this by depicting a skeleton, symbolizing exhaustion or breakdown, and filling the blanks with ironic or negative transformations, such as "turns coffee into anxiety" or "turns food into regret." It is commonly used to express feelings of weariness, poor choices, or the body's unexpected reactions to various inputs, highlighting a humorous disconnect between aspiration and reality.
Incoming Call
The "Incoming Call" meme utilizes a generic iPhone incoming call screen, typically with a blank caller ID. Originating from popular mobile phone interfaces, this meme format gained traction as a relatable way to represent unwanted or unavoidable "calls" in life. Its meaning revolves around the dilemma of confronting an unpleasant situation, task, or obligation, forcing a choice between "declining" (avoiding) or "accepting" (dealing with) it. Users customize the blank caller ID area with text or images to signify the source of the unwelcome call, such as "your responsibilities," "Monday," or a difficult decision. It's widely used to express feelings of dread, reluctance, or the inevitability of facing challenging circumstances.
Wake Up Babe
The "Wake Up Babe" meme typically features a stock photo of a man gently waking a woman in bed, paired with a caption that starts "Wake up babe, [something just dropped/happened]". This meme gained popularity on social media as a humorous and often sarcastic way to announce a new development, update, trend, or a recurring event. It implies that the event is significant enough to warrant immediate attention, often within a niche community or for something that's particularly absurd or long-awaited. It's frequently used for new video game content, album releases, internet trends, or even ironic commentary on daily occurrences, highlighting the perceived importance of the announced news.
Green Background Or Whatever
The "Green Background Or Whatever" meme originated from the concept of a green screen, a visual effects technique where a solid green color is used as a placeholder background during filming, later replaced with a different image or video. The meme itself is a solid green image, often accompanied by the phrase "Green Background Or Whatever," humorously acknowledging its generic and interchangeable nature. Its meaning revolves around the idea of a placeholder, something generic, or a background that is so unimportant or undefined that "whatever" could be placed there. It can also imply a lack of effort or creativity in a chosen background, or serve as a customizable template. Users deploy this meme by superimposing various images, text, or other meme elements onto the green area, often to create new, personalized memes or to ironically comment on the triviality of a background in a given context.
Jarvis
This meme features Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically from scenes where he interacts with his AI assistant, J.A.R.V.I.S., or works on his technology. The image captures Stark with a knowing, often mischievous or clever smirk, surrounded by holographic interface elements. The blank space above his head is typically filled with a question, observation, or scenario. The meme's meaning revolves around a smart, sarcastic, or insightful realization, often implying an internal monologue or a sharp retort. It's commonly used to express cleverness, a sudden understanding, or a dry, witty commentary on a situation, particularly when something obvious or ironic is pointed out.
Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, became an internet sensation in 2012 after a photo of her perpetually displeased face was posted on Reddit. Her distinct facial expression, caused by feline dwarfism and an underbite, made her appear perpetually grumpy, annoyed, or unimpressed. This look resonated widely, becoming a popular meme to convey feelings of disdain, pessimism, or general apathy. Memes featuring Grumpy Cat are typically used to express sarcasm or negativity towards everyday annoyances, common frustrations, or overly optimistic sentiments, often accompanied by captions like "I had fun once. It was awful."
Pedro Pascal Crying
The Pedro Pascal Crying meme is a two-panel reaction image featuring actor Pedro Pascal. The images are taken from a 2017 interview where he was shown a fan-made video of his character, Oberyn Martell, dying in 'Game of Thrones'. The top panel shows him laughing, while the bottom panel captures his face distorted in a comically exaggerated cry. This meme is widely used to express a rapid shift in emotions, typically from initial happiness or excitement to sudden despair, disappointment, or sadness. It's perfect for situations where expectations quickly turn sour, or when one is trying to maintain composure but ultimately succumbs to overwhelming emotion. It highlights relatable moments of emotional whiplash, often used in 'me when' contexts.
