Bike Fall
The 'Bike Fall' meme, also known as 'Self-Sabotage,' originated from a comic by J. L. Westover of Mr. Lovenstein, first published in late 2017. The comic depicts a person riding a bicycle, then intentionally inserting a stick into their own front wheel, leading to an inevitable fall. The meme's meaning revolves around self-inflicted problems or actions that predictably lead to one's own downfall or negative consequences. It is widely used to illustrate situations where individuals or groups consciously make choices that worsen their own circumstances, often despite knowing the risks. It highlights ironic, foolish, or frustrating instances of self-sabotage across various contexts, from personal habits to political decisions.
This Is Fine
The 'This Is Fine' meme originates from a two-panel comic by KC Green, part of his webcomic 'Gunshow,' first published in 2013 with the title 'On Fire.' It features a cartoon dog wearing a fedora, sitting calmly in a room engulfed in flames, while stating "This is fine." The meme's core meaning revolves around denial, self-deception, or passive acceptance in the face of overwhelming chaos or disaster. It humorously illustrates an attempt to maintain composure or convince oneself that a dire situation is manageable, even when it's clearly spiraling out of control. 'This Is Fine' is widely used across social media and internet culture to convey a resigned or feigned calm in response to escalating problems, personal crises, or broader societal issues. It perfectly captures the feeling of pretending everything is okay when, in reality, it's anything but.
Trade Offer
The "Trade-offer" meme typically features a character, most famously a pigeon, extending its wing or hand as if presenting something, accompanied by the text "Trade offer?" or a similar phrase. This visual often sets the stage for a humorous or absurd proposition, inviting the viewer to consider a proposed exchange.
I Bet He's Thinking About Other Women
The 'I bet he's thinking about other women' meme is a widely recognized internet phenomenon, a popular derivative of the iconic 'Distracted Boyfriend' meme. It typically features a woman in bed, looking suspiciously at her male partner, accompanied by a thought bubble above her head that reads 'I bet he's thinking about other women.' Crucially, a second thought bubble above the man's head reveals his actual, often mundane, humorous, or completely unrelated thought, creating a comical juxtaposition.
X, X Everywhere
The phrase "X, -x- everywhere" refers to a popular internet meme or image macro that visually depicts an overwhelming abundance or ubiquity of a particular item, concept, or type of person. It most famously features the character Buzz Lightyear from Disney/Pixar's *Toy Story 2*, surrounded by numerous identical instances of something, accompanied by the caption "X, -x- everywhere," where "X" is a placeholder for the item in question.
One Does Not Simply
The 'One does not simply' meme features a still image of Boromir, a character from Peter Jackson's *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring*, often depicted with his hand raised in a distinctive, emphatic gesture. This iconic image is typically overlaid with text that begins with the memorable phrase, setting the tone for the declaration that follows.
Hyperpigmentation
The image likely depicts various forms of hyperpigmentation, a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of dark spots, patches, or areas of discoloration on the skin. These darker areas can vary in size and shape, often appearing on sun-exposed regions such as the face, hands, chest, and shoulders. The visual representation typically highlights the contrast between the affected, darker skin and the surrounding lighter skin tone, illustrating the uneven pigmentation.
Mocking Spongebob
The Mocking Spongebob meme features a still image of the beloved cartoon character Spongebob SquarePants, depicted with a distorted, wide-eyed, and beak-like facial expression. This particular frame captures Spongebob in a moment of exaggerated imitation, often accompanied by text written in alternating upper and lower case letters, mimicking a taunting or sarcastic tone.
Always Has Been
The "Always has been" meme typically features two astronauts. One astronaut, often shown looking surprised or making a new discovery (such as the Earth being flat, or a specific location like Ohio being the entirety of existence), is confronted by a second astronaut, who is usually behind them, holding a pistol, and calmly stating, "Always has been." This iconic visual setup has been widely adapted across the internet to convey various humorous, ironic, or deadpan revelations.
Epic Handshake
The "Epic Handshake" meme typically features a still image from the 1987 science fiction action film *Predator*. It depicts two highly muscular men, George Dillon (played by Carl Weathers) and Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), gripping each other's forearms in an intensely firm and almost competitive handshake. This iconic moment occurs early in the film, symbolizing a powerful bond, a moment of significant agreement, or a display of mutual strength.
