An image from The Office. A young Michael Scott stares at the camera unimpressed, shaking his former manager Ed Truck's hand. Ed Truck smiles into the camera. A santa hat graphic is placed on Ed Truck's head, while an elf hat graphic is placed on Michael's. Text over Ed Truck says "A card thanking me for all my hard work in 2025". Text over Michael says "Me onboarded ages ago, yet to receive any work"

A still from a horror movie shows Michael Myers standing ominously on a suburban sidewalk, half-hidden behind a tall hedge. The caption reads: “JUST YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD QC’ER / PATIENTLY WAITING FOR YOU TO DELIVER THE MOVIE.” The Subtle logo, a speech bubble, is placed by the character as if he is saying it.

An image zooming in on a painting of two devilish creatures. One clasps his hands cunningly and looks at the other, while the other holds his hand up to his chin pensively. Text superimposed on the painting says "-honestly sometimes he gets a little too vulgar for me, but I'm a fan". Text above says "When the profanity muse hits you just right".

A meme of a period painting. The painting centres on a couple in an audience at the theatre. The woman on the left has her hair pinned up, rouged cheeks and an elegant silk pink dress with long white gloves. She looks down politely, perhaps unimpressed. A man in a tuxedo and short white gloves holds a piece of white paper in his right hand and is leaning in confidently, as if muttering something to her. The meme text says "When he's mansplaining the plot but you have translated the movie".
