Mostly harmless, general smartass, doing my best to avoid failure mode of clever.

"Peanuts" comic strip. Lucy tells Linus "school starts again in nine days" which causes Linus to scream in despair and rip his shirt. He looks down at torn shirt saying "good grief!" and then sadly looks as if out at the reader, stating solemnly "that'st he only news which could cause me to rend my garment!"

side-by-side image of the "Ecce Homo" painting on left, captioned "DLSS 5 off", and the famously botched attempted restoration of damage to it on the right, captioned "DLSS 5 on"
Screenshot of a tweet with a photo by Nathan Fielder. The photo shows him alone and laughing. The text of the tweet reads "Out on the town having the time of m y life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too."
Screenshot from Untitled Goose Game. The titular goose is screaming with wings spread threateningly at a couple seated at a picnic table; their arms are raised as if they believe the goose is holding a gun on them. It is not visibly holding a gun on them but you probably can't blame them, a goose making a threat display at you from barely over a yard away is a high-stress situation.
A still from the 1980 movie "Saturn 3" featuring Kirk Douglas' character that in context trying to ineffectively fight Hector the Killer Robot but in freeze frame just clinging to the robot's waist and hips. This is a very funny visual joke given the context of the thread. Very good joke. Everyone laugh. Roll snare drum. Curtains.
freeze frame of Donald Sutherland in 1978's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" pointing at the camera while screaming, mouth open and eyes bugging out and showing a lot of sclera in an inhuman expression that predates CONTENT CREATOR THUMBNAIL FACE by many decades and there's probably a rich vein of undergrad essays the way the movie's themes intersect with that observation, and, come to think of it, a good direction for a modern remake to follow.

Doctor Strange doing the foreseeing every possible future timeline thing with about 73% too much flashy-light twitchiness by rough and admittedly non-sorcerer layman estimate.

Game screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. The hunter is in a ridiculous getup in black and purplish color scheme, involving a half face mask, a cloak over his left shoulder, and incidentally carrying a comically oversized shield and lance. He is accompanied by a palico, a sentient anthropomorphic cat in the setting who as a species are approximately toddler-sized but comically vicious and fearless, costumed even more ridiculously involving floating tentacles and in a feathery helmet mask that's about as large as its entire body if it weren't costumed.
