Heart to heart you’ll shut up when I’m talking to you.
An image of a meme with text at the top that reads, "The video for Linkin Park’s 'One Step Closer' is the Wario of the video for 'The Warrior' by Scandal. I will not elaborate further." Below the text are two side-by-side stills from the respective music videos. The left image shows Patty Smyth of Scandal, with short, dark hair, singing passionately with her mouth wide open. The right image shows Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, with spiky, bleached blonde hair, an intense, angry expression, and a greenish-yellow tint to the lighting.

Oblique reference to a late night comedy sketch from 16 years ago in 3…2…1…
A meme featuring white text on a black background that reads: "If you combine Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Saving Silverman you get Forgetting Sarah Silverman." Below the text is a close-up reaction image of actor Matt Damon looking upset, with his lips tightly pursed in a grimace.

What did the Finnish cheesemaker say to his girlfriend after they broke up?
A meme image showing a white decorative plate with five golden-brown, broiled cheese squares arranged in a loose circle on a wooden table. Bold white Impact font with black outline overlays the photo: top text reads “NOW YOU’RE JUST SOMEBODY THAT” and bottom text reads “I JUUSTOA KNOW”, parodying the lyrics of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” while poking fun at the modest, slightly burnt cheese dish.

This joke is for a very tiny slice of the population.
A collage featuring four images with text overlays. The first image shows the album cover of “Emerson, Lake & Palmer” with the text “Yeah, I like Emerson Lake & Palmer.” The second image depicts an open refrigerator stocked with beers and food, with the text “Grabbin’ some beers outta my Emerson fridge in da garage.” The third image shows a scenic view of Goose Lake with autumn trees, with the text “goin’ fishin’ on Goose Lake.” The fourth image features an old building with a faded sign reading “Trewhellas,” with the text “and then headin’ back ta Palmer.”

I find your claims dubious, Mister Mayor.
The image shows an open cardboard food container with a partially eaten burger inside. The container has a printed cartoon character, a burger with a top hat and monocle, holding a sign that reads, “Your QPC® was grown from a golden seed planted by me, Mayor McCheese!” The burger appears to have melted cheese, lettuce, and a beef patty. In the background, there’s a yellow cup and some napkins.

Dig if you will this picture.
A four-panel meme featuring two individuals. The first panel shows a person with curly hair saying, “I’m gonna write a hit song.” The second panel shows another person with curly hair asking, “It’s going to have a sick bass part, right?” The third panel shows the first person again, with the same expression, and the fourth panel repeats the second person’s question, “It’s going to have a sick bass part, right?” The text is overlaid in white with a black outline.

The memories of the giant cardboard standee of a cartoon bear lurking in the back corner of our long closed local grocer for most of my childhood come rushing back as I exclaim, “well, that tastes exactly like I expected.”
A hand holding a cold can of Hamm’s beer, with water droplets on the surface, set against a blurred indoor background featuring a chandelier, dining table, and mirror. The can features a blue and white design with golden tree icons and the text “Hamm’s Beer” and “From the land of sky blue waters.”

I can’t unsee this, and I refuse to let anyone else unsee it.
A close-up shot of a man wearing a camouflage trucker hat with a black and white patch that says "MEILI VODKA" on it. He has a serious expression and is looking slightly to his left. The background is blurry with green foliage and sunlight. A close-up portrait of the animated character Shrek, a green ogre. He is looking to his left with a slightly confused or concerned expression. He is wearing a white tunic with a brown vest over it, tied at the neck with a black cord.

Ventilated seats are great until they meet flatulence.
A man with a pained expression is sitting in the driver's seat of his truck. He is hunched over and has a hand over his mouth as a thick, green gas cloud, emanating from the ventilated seat, completely surrounds his upper body. (AI generated)

I just asked AI to create a program in Pascal to draw a picture of Pedro Pascal.
The image displays a code snippet with comments defining a 16x16 pixel art representation of a simplified face for Pedro Pascal. The comments explain that each number from 0-255 represents a "color index" mapped to BGI's 16 colors. Examples of color mappings are given: 0 for Dark Background/Hair, 10 for Skin Tone (Light Green, to be mapped to beige), 12 for Eyes (Light Red), 4 for Mouth (Red), and 7 for Shirt/Collar (Light Gray). The code then initializes PixelArt array values for "Row 0" and "Row 1", with all visible entries set to 0.

What I expect the Tron: Ares to be like.
A four-panel meme shows Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails performing live. Panel 1: Reznor in a black tank top sings into a microphone, bathed in warm stage lights. Text reads: "How are you tonight? Having a good time? Ready to party? Have Fun?" Panel 2: Reznor, still singing into the microphone, raises his left arm as if making a point. Text reads: "Well that was the last guys. Wrong fucking band." Panel 3: Reznor continues to sing into the microphone, looking intense. Text reads: "We're here to have a bad time." Panel 4: Reznor is shown from a slightly different angle, still singing into the microphone. Text reads: "(synthesizer playing)".

This meme is divided into two panels. The top panel shows a still of Ozzy Osbourne wearing dark sunglasses and with shoulder-length dark hair. He is looking forward with his mouth open as if speaking or singing. White text on the left side of the panel reads, "Who can we get on the case?" The bottom panel shows a cartoon drawing of Taddy Mason from Rick and Morty, shrugging with his palms up. He is wearing a red and white striped t-shirt with the number "22" on it. White text on the right side of this panel reads, "We need Taddy Mason."

RIP Chuck Mangione
A close-up comic book panel shows a man with pointed ears and a dark blue or black top with gold armbands, recoiling from something unseen to the right. His left arm is raised with his palm open, and a speech bubble above it says, "DO NOT TOOT IT!" His right hand is also open, closer to the bottom of the frame. The background is a light, striped pattern. An illustration of a bearded man wearing a black hat, a white shirt, and a red jacket, playing a trumpet. A speech bubble above his head says, "Fool! Chuck Mangione toots as he pleases!" The word "TOOT!" is also written in a cartoon bubble to the left of the trumpet.

If you could wear out a CD just by playing it, I probably would have worn this one out spinning it my Aiwa stereo circa Y2K.

I listened to this disc for hours on end trying to decipher every riff as I was learning the guitar.

There was some kind of real black magic happening here.

💔 #Ozzy
A close-up shot of a silver Black Sabbath CD with the title "GREATEST HITS" in black letters. Below the title, a tracklist is printed in black, listing ten songs, with "PARANOID" as the first and "SWEET LEAF" as the last. The copyright information for "1996 Power Sound 2001, Inc." is visible on the left side of the disc. "COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO" is printed on the right side of the disc, and the catalog number "PS NEMS 6002-2" is on the left.

The runners up are Milwaukee’s basic “cut level 1” gloves. I use them mostly to cut things, and they do what they say they do. Plus they’re extra comfy and cheap.
A person's hand, wearing a red and black Milwaukee brand work glove, is shown reaching down towards several metal screws scattered on a light-colored, possibly wooden, surface. The glove has "Milwaukee" written on the back and various safety ratings.
