You know my boy Ass Dan will be there, back from the dead!

The nerve of that guy to call himself Mr. Wonderful. Everybody knows that this is the one and only Mr. Wonderful:
WWF star Paul Orndorff stands arms akimbo staring intimidatingly into the camera, wearing tight red wrestling shorts but otherwise clothesless, and looking absolutely jacked. He was known as “Mr. Wonderful.” For more on this guy, I highly recommend checking out the mid-80s music video for the Stars of Wrestling singing (sort of) Wilson Pickett’s “The Land of 1000 Dances,” where he spends the entirety of said video doing a little dance that involves flexing and kissing his own biceps. R.I.P. legend.

I like you, Clarence. Always have…always will.
Val Kilmer, as a spiritual vision of Elvis Presley, wears a gold lamé dinner jacket and points in a nifty way at Christian Slater’s Clarence, who is staring at himself in a bathroom mirror, debating his next move, from the film True Romance.

Yeah, none of this surprises me, but I’m definitely old enough to remember the 80s.

Also this, from 1994:
Bart Simpson’s elephant, Stampy, tromps through the Republican Convention. There are signs that read “We Want What’s Worst For Everyone” and “We’re Just Plain Evil.” From the season 5 episode Bart Gets An Elephant

Title card for the 1950 animated short film Boobs In The Woods, featuring Daffy Duck (dressed as Napoleon) and Porky Pig (dressed as a sanitarium guard and holding a net) standing on opposite sides of a giant tree, possibly a redwood? With the title of the cartoon carved into the side of the tree. Directed by Robert McKimson. Written by Warren Foster.

Thinking of the year my fantasy football league got really into root vegetables, and I named my team “Yammin’ On The 1” and used this as my team photo:
A b&w, photoshopped picture of Malcolm Jamal Warner during his Theo Huxtable days, looking at the camera, smiling, and holding a yam, which is in color for some reason

Unhand her, Dan Backslide!
Tom Dover, a chesty blond athletic type dressed in a white turtleneck sweater with a red P (short for Pimento University), and blue pants, correctly admonishes the already unconscious Dan Backslide, as Dick and Larry Dover look on.

Post a meme made by you
“Is This A Pigeon” meme but the confused anime guy is labeled “Idiots,” the butterfly is labeled “Literally anything” and the question posed is “Is this a conspiracy?”

Me, waiting for my work laptop to arrive so I can start the new job
A gentleman dressed in a white long-sleeved henley-style shirt, wearing a white tennis cap, strikes a “I’m totally rocking out here” pose (head thrust backward, eyes closed) whilst presumably rocking out with a ukulele. Based on his fingers, he appears to be playing an E-flat chord.
