Figuring out how to be at peace as our collective plane falls from the sky

Movie poster for "AGUIRRE[/]DER ZORN[/]GOTTES" with Klaus Kinski as the titular Aguirre, at the end of the film, looking insane with Teutonic tyranny, glaring at the far distance in wrathful 2000-yard-stare, one hand stroking his daughter's hair, as she stares into the same space, but vacantly - at least partly because she's bleeding from an arrow wound to her torso. The picture has an odd, orange cast to the skin of both characters, and a vibrancy to the greys of his rusted steel armor & helmet and the purple of his tunic. The whites of their eyes also flare oddly, as does the white of her tunic.
"Mr Show": "Flat Top Tony and the Purple Canoes": the band "Indomitable Spirit" performing onstage, featuring a guy with no arms who plays guitar with his feet, a drummer who's missing his arms, a head who plays woodwind, and a woman. (It's Sarah Silverman; it's purposely ironically sexist.) The band name is onscreen, in quotes, with "(Demo Scratch)" under it.
the tri-delts, aka "Delta-Delta-Delta", on that 90s SNL series of sketches - looking sadly oppressed and confused, because being young women in our patriarchal society... you know what: just being a person in our society will do that to you - but there's definitely a specific traumatic confusion they're going through
SNL (80s): Jon Lovitz as his "Yeah, that's the ticket!" compulsive liar character, in a respectable - albeit somewhat frumpled - suit, behind a respectable desk in a respectably wood-paneled room, quoted with his catchphrase, as he's saying it with that weird glee in his eyes & smile on his face
the "Sad Pablo Escobar" meme, of him sitting in his two-person swing alone, sitting at his little dinner table alone, standing in the deep end of his pool alone, all looking sad and forlorn
"The Ben Stiller Show": "The Grungies": a 90s Grunge band, done up like the French Foreign Legion or something, walking four-abreast down a city street (with old-fashioned brick buildings), in various states of being in-step, with the wildest one (on the far-right) being, well: wild. From the left: Ben Stiller, Andy Dick, Bob Odenkirk, and Jeff Kahn.
"SCTV": "Mel's Rock Pile": the Queen Haters - a satirical British punk band - performing "I Hate the Bloody Queen"
"BoJack Horseman": episode "Free Churro": little boy(/horse) BoJack reeling both physically and emotionally as his aggressive father leans across the (expensive) car front seats to demand a, as he puts it, "THANK YOU!?!"
that insane couple of the fate 40-something pile-of-shit white man in a pink polo shirt and his crazy bleach-blonde wife - with the guy wielding an ar-15, tucked under his moob, while she's inexpertly wielding some little she-pistol - like a snub-nosed revolver, but semi-auto. they're at a courthouse - remember that scene that went down?
"Monty Python: The Life of Brian": annoying man who's crucified near Brian's deathplace, where he - upon hearing that Brian's about to be released and others are claiming to be Brian - proclaims "I'm Brian and so's my wife."
WWII nazi hand-drawn, black & white flier of a picture of hitler with tape over his mouth in an x that reads "REDEVERBOT" on both axes, with the caption "Einer Allein von 2000 Millionen Renimen der Erde barf in Deutschland nicht reven!" (guessing on some of the spelling, which is in a thick, teutonic script)

"I Think You Should Leave": Tim Robinson at a makeup station, cosmetologists quietly working behind him, as he sits in a white t-shirt and black shorts, his face with a dipshit look on it as he confidently spouts off about something
"I Think You Should Leave": the Hot Dog Guy trying to convince the crowd in the store he crashed into that he knows better than they do what is going on
"I Think You Should Leave": Tim Robinson in a clownish shirt, making a clownish-yet-certain face as he lays on a vibrant red couch, his head propped up on the hard, thin arm of the thing
"I Think You Should Leave": Tim Robinson looking buffoonishly determined to not believe something at a nice restaurant - to the point that his neck veins are showing
"I Think You Should Leave": Tim Robinson as the protagonist of some sketch, using his insane intensity to impose an idea onto a hapless coworker at the latter's cubicle

Homer Simpson using his eye as a hard surface to press an orange against with his hand - and he's painfully exerting himself to do it - even his hand is visible clutching the arm of the couch he's sprawled across - in order to get some juice out
Fallout (original) ending: the protagonist in a blue vault suit (tight jumpsuit) with yellow number on the back, with leather partial armor and holsters, his right arm bloody & bandaged, his hair cut very short - his back to the camera, head bowed, striding forward into the desert of the nuclear wasteland of the American southwest
SCTV: Mel's Rock Pile giving a performance session to "The Queen Haters", a British punk band that mostly just screams how much they hate the queen of England. This shot is of John Candy as the drummer, who's wearing a punk outfit and glasses, and has a clean shaven face & scalp, but looks bored to the point that he might die of the emotion any second.
scene from the ending credits of Dorohedoro episode S01E05, of a Wolfenstein-like FPS game, but with the archvillain's face where the hero's normally is, with weapon numbers 2-7, with all in red except for a yellow 2, a health bar in green and a mushroom bar in green, yellow-and-black hazard markings on either side of the status bar - and a pinstripe-suit-and-purple-shirt-sleeve-covered arm like the archvillain's in the show, here holding a a large spotted mushroom as though it's a weapon (based on his being fixated on mushrooms in the show). The credits run on the left quarter of the screen that's split off from the rest of the frame.
New Yorker cartoon (from the Rejection Collection, Vol I): NYC mother and son of some means standing on the sidewalk at the corner of some building: the mom looking jaded & paunchy, with a beret on, loosely holding a smoldering cigarette in her right hand; the son stands next to her, his arms crossed behind his back, staring with the same jaded look, a patch over his left eye, which is precisely next to the mom's smoldering cigarette. Signed by Leo Cullum.

right-wing troll attempting his shit irl, sitting at a desk he set up with some chairs and microphones & some paper & mugs of coffee - one for him that he's happily helping himself to, with a poster paper hung on the front of the table with some right-wing shit that's been blanked-over to be turned into a meme, with an underline at the bottom, with "CHANGE MY MIND" under that, with me putting "Being shit on by a hummingbird is like being spritzed with perfume" just above
"Cyberpunk 2077": DLC "Phantom Liberty": when you finally see your spy contact and it's Idris fucking Elba and you're sitting facing him in his vehicle
art by @massiveface.bsky.social of a skull split vertically and the halves somewhat separated, with red roses almost pouring forth from the empty space in-between (all on black, with the ockets a near-solid black, the only color being rose petals)
especially Film Noir artwork for "Cowboy Bebop": the five main characters (listed in my skeet), and the melancholy being the dark, hazy brown tone the picture is cast in - also: everyone seems sad, except for Jett, who's smiling as he's seemingly plotting something
"Rick & Morty": Jerry Smith in the ai world he's trapped in during his "Hungry for Apples?" marketing campaign story, completely overwhelmed with nervousness as he talks to the fake boss of the fake company he thinks he works for, his hands doing little limp-wristed, fingers-pointing-down motions, his eyebrows loosely wimpy, his face slack
"Mad Men": Don Draper drunkenly making a pitch at a meeting
the "I'm the captain now" meme, changed to "I'm the mod now" (from "Captain Philips" - about the boat captain whose ship is taken over by Somali pirates - which in hindsight seems like propaganda to continue to ravage one of the unluckiest places on Earth, right, anyway
"Us" (2019): the ending: what look like hills in the southwestern portion of America, people mostly in red robes holding each-others hands, lined up across the hill, off into the distance, as smoke plumes rise in a few spots
cover 'art' for "As Good as it Gets" (1997): j. nicholson, having completely sold out, super excited about his (presumably) centrist, suburban life that's kinda quirky or something - his head tilted back with slightly-off-the-norm-but-still-expensive-and-not-challenging sunglasses on and a not-at-all-questioning-anything cackle going. his hair's slicked back like a 50s care salesman's. the backdrop is a baby-blue sky with fuzzy white clouds.
"The Simpsons": Krusty watching in horror and despair as the Washington Generals purposely lose to the Harlem Globetrotters; he shouts "He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it!"
huge hedgehog popping its head up from behind old, European architecture, and loudly speaking (in Monty Python slightly off picture/animation - that weird stuff that Terry Gilliam did)

Dougie Jones alternate to the dicaprio pointing meme

Burger King ad editor: red text between buns reading "There is nothing. Only warm primordial blackness. Your conscience ferments in it. No larger than a single grain of malt"
Burger King ad generator, with the text between the buns saying "CHINGA/LA MIGRA" and the tag at the bottom reading "#FuckICE"
"The Critic": Jay Sherman (the titular critic) on the set of his show - with mock film roll - some vertical, some at odd angles - as the backdrop of his set, on an old-fashioned director's folding chair, in frumpy clothes including a sleeveless sweater with a sad pattern around his ample middle - his hair long in the back and bald on top except for a few wild stragglers at his cowlick - holding up a pudgy right hand with his index finger extended, his eyes intensely locked on the camera, with the caption "IT STINKS"
"Adventure Time": the Ice King shaved & dressed up (wearing slacks and a shirt & tie & cardigan) as the Nice King (still wearing the same crown)
