Soyboy Vs Yes Chad
The "Soyboy Vs Yes Chad" meme originated on 4chan and is a comparison macro contrasting two archetypal characters.

On the right is "Yes Chad," a stoic, muscular, bearded man representing strength, confidence, and unwavering acceptance. The meme's meaning lies in satirically contrasting differing viewpoints or behaviors, often ridiculing one side (Soyboy) while elevating the other (Yes Chad).

It captures the absurdity often found in economic trends or personal investment choices. The "Empty Stonks" variant removes the text, allowing for broader application or user-added captions while retaining the core ironic financial context.
That Would Be Great
"That Would Be Great" is a popular meme featuring the character Bill Lumbergh, played by Gary Cole, from the 1999 cult classic film *Office Space*.

The top panels typically show a person attempting to sleep while their brain has a relatively mundane thought. The bottom panels then show the brain suddenly having a disruptive, anxious, or completely random thought, which jolts the person awake or prevents them from falling asleep. It is used to humorously illustrate the frustrating and often absurd thoughts that invade one's mind just before sleep, highlighting the contrast between the desire to rest and the brain's relentless activity.

It starts with the well-known adage about a woman's age and then extends to other comparable personal subjects, such as a man's salary or other private information. This format is widely used to humorously point out impolite or private questions, often by comparing different sensitive topics across various demographics or situations. Its simple, illustrative style makes it easily adaptable and shareable.

Mugatu So Hot Right Now
