Perfect caption, YouTube. Good job!
Screenshot of a still from YouTube, from the video of the Bee Gees' You Win Again. Barry Gibb is shown singing, looking away from the camera slightly. The auto-generated caption says "(TENSE MUSIC)", which fits the intro to the song perfectly.

"The girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"
Norman Rockwell's famous painting "Rosie the Riveter". It shows a muscular woman with tied red hair sitting on a post, holding a sandwich in one hand and looking majestic. On her lap is a large, air powered rivet gun. The background is a waving stars and stripes. It's super evocative and Rosie herself looks like she doesn't need the power tool to pound rivets.

Oh! That sounds like the American version of this stuff. It's impossible to aim, but if you wait a few seconds you can tell where you hit because you lose all feeling.
Image of a bottle of Ultra Chloraseptic throat spray, which comes in a small bottle with a spray attachment on the top. In this image the nozzle is smoking slightly, as it it is a gun that was just fired. In reality, it does kill nerve endings that it touches, but only temporarily.

A screenshot from the Futurama episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz". Shot from below to look more menacing, a pengiun has picked up a rifle with a large scope and is brandishing it with a threatening expression.

Wizard and magic content peaked in 1987 anyway I don't make the rules
A composited screenshot of the 1987 cartoon "Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light". From left to right are the characters Leoric, Merklyn and Darkstorm. The first and third are titular knights, wearing colourful armour, heroic moustache and evil beard (respectively), and with super-cool holograms on their chests. Merklynn is bald because all of his hair went to work draping off the sides and as a beard. He holds a crystal ball and is (as one would expect from the name) a hyper-exaggerated depiction of Merlin. Everybody looks super serious and the background is a swirling, cartoony magical cloud of some kind.

Oops… turns out we hadn’t returned empties for a while.

LRT: Reminded that I live about 15 minutes from the knightly manor of Borkhausen.
A Google Maps screenshot, zoomed in on a little collection of houses and farm buildings. The area has a placemark named "Rittergut Borkhausen"

Thanks! I have seen these so many times but never actually found a link...
A Picrew comic-style image showing a simplified version of what I think I look like. I have round shoulders, a thick neck, a round-ish head with a defined chin. Of note on my head is short, dark hair, stubble, dark brown eyes and rectangular glasses. I'm wearing a plain white t-shirt with a breast pocket and a round red collar.

Cartoon screenshot of Egon Spengler of The Real Ghostbusters. He is firing his proton pack and showing off his enormous single blonde curl, sitting on his head like a stylish cresting wave.

GIF of a scene from Futurama. A Neptunian picks up a charred duck, and asks his companion “an omen?” His companion replies “dinner!” And puts it in his slacks.

Letting 20 F1 drivers loose in expensive Lego cars was a terrible idea, would only ever end one way, and should be done more often.

I connected a Plus/4 to this black & white classic as a child. However, having had to find a picture of it, I’m shocked to discover that this was a new model in the UK in 1985 😳

Aww, it’s nice that they went into business together after the TV work dried up ☺️

A map showing directions to my nearest Greggs. The shortest distance from my location involves a journey of 5h 36m and 462km, because I am in Germany and massively deprived of Greggs.

My wife was skeptical of the Spirk love until I described it as the prototype of JD and Turk's deep connection.

Gove's face was immortalised for me in this cartoon:
A political cartoon from 2016 by Stephen Collins, showing an Independence Day-style mothership looming over London, as David Cameron looks out of his window. Out of shot: "Prime Minister" Cameron: "yes?" Michael Gove, now in view: "Let me do it." Cameron: "For God's sake Michael, you're the Education Secretary! You've never flown a fighter plane in your life!" Gove: "But I know I can do it, David. I could fly a fighter plane into the big space-ship... and shoot all the aliens." Cameron: "But you have no military training!" Gove: "David, I haven't told you this, but... I used to be a journalist. For /The Times/." Cameron: Whips round, a hopeful look on his face. Gove: "I wrote /two articles/ about planes, David. I've got /strong opinions/ about aliens. I know I can do this job." The last two panels switch back to the window. Cameron watches, in silhouette, a plane in the distance fly unsteadily towards the mothership. He clasps his head in his hands as the plane simply wobbles past, never troubling the aliens.

Different techbro, but I am reminded of this classic:
A meme showing smiley cartoon versions of the characters. The conversation goes like this: 2010 California: "I should build a high speed rail system" China: "I should build a high speed rail system" 2012 Elon Musk: "No, cancel it and make a Hyperloop instead!" China: "" 2015 California: nothing China: "8,000 miles built" 2018 California: nothing China: "16,000 miles built" 2021 Elon Musk: "We will have a prototype in a few more years" China: "25,000 miles built"

Screenshot from Futurama. The professor is waving his arms angrily and turning away from Amy, who looks on dispassionately. The meme caption reads “Ooh! If anyone needs me, I’ll be be in the Angry Dome. (Grumbling)”

Post an ad for your first car. Here’s a whole brochure for mine!
The front page of a brochure advertising the Mini Piccadilly edition. It shows a gold car with its door open, and a couple of 80s blonde showgirls, one of whom is on the roof. Inside of the brochure, showing a chorus line with the mini in the middle. Split across this image and the next, the headline reads “Another glittering West End production”. Some marketing text along the bottom of each page details how this is different from other Minis. TLDR: it’s gold and has 12 inch wheels. See previous description The last page of the brochure has another blonde woman pictured, and the technical spec for a 1 litre 80s mini.

This should be good, my backlog is HUGE but my likes on these are always tiny.

Reminded of this quote...
An image of the earth from the moon, with a quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell overlaid: "You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"
