A modified version of the Simpsons “Do It For Her” meme. The bulletin board that normally shows photos of Maggie is instead covered with various pictures of skeletons in different poses and settings. The central text still reads “DO IT FOR HER,” but “her” has been humorously replaced by the collage of skeleton images, making it a skeleton-themed parody of the original meme.

A meme image based on Nickelback’s “Look at this photograph” scene. The lead singer is holding up a framed picture, but instead of a photo, the frame shows a custom coin design featuring a skull with mushrooms, plants, and the words “Admit One.” Below the image, the meme text says: “look at this coin” with the word “coin” in red replacing “photograph.”
