It's a humorous take on how context and presentation can dramatically affect our perceptions and judgments. | The image is funny because it highlights the contrast between someone's appearance when dressed stylishly versus undressed.

The satire lies in prioritizing high-end technology over basic living comforts, reflecting a common stereotypical behavior in gaming culture. |
|
EASY | A person in black formal suit and pants | The image is ironical, as the person wearing a formal black suit and pants, is wearing colorful socks, probably due to the reason that socks are not visible while wearing shoes, and hence, do not need to be formal. | Legs of a person with black pants, and colorful socks with flowers and trees drawn on it. | stage2 | The humor in the image comes from the contrast between expectations and reality, a common theme in satire.

|
EASY | a person looking at a X-mas tree | The image is ironic, because in the first image a person is seen watching his decorated X-mas tree but in the second image it is shown that the tree is looking beautiful not due to its natural beauty but the bulbs connected via power decorated over it | a person looking at a X-mas tree on which various bulbs are put and are connected to electricity source | stage2 | The humor in this image comes from the unexpected twist on perspective. In the first panel, the Christmas tree appears to be decorated normally when viewed from the front.

EASY | The image shows a man overfilling his plate with different kinds of food from a self serving station with various items placed on it. | The image is satirical because while the man overfils his plate with differnt food items, he ends up wasting almost all of it by not eating them or by taking just one bite out of them leaving the rest. | The image shows a plate full of food items.

Also, the t-shirt might have been bought using the money earned via the very same job. | a person wearing a t-shirt that says "Fight Club", working on a computer system, with a water dispenser by the side. | stage2 | The image is satirical because it highlights the irony of the situation. It references a famous quote criticizing consumerism, “We work jobs we hate, to buy sh*t we don’t need,” and places it on a t-shirt that is being worn by someone at an office job.

This contrast subverts expectations and highlights the gap between appearance and reality, creating satire. |
|
EASY | A close up image of a traffic light meant for pedestrians and bicycles. The light has a stick figure of a human placed vertically above a drawing of a bicycle. Both are lit up in red, and inside the same circle. | This image is funny because images of very regular things - a stick figure and a bicycle, get converted into looking phallic from a distance. | A traffic light pole with 2 lights. Currently the top red light is lit up. The light is a pedestrian light, but the symbol on it looks phallic, 2 circles and a cylinder between them. It is presumably not meant to look phallic but the distance blurs the actual figures on the light. | stage2 | The image is funny/satirical because it plays with the concept of perspective.

EASY | a woman is seen praying before the Buddha statue with closed hands | The image is ironic, because in the first image it seems that the woman is praying whole heartedly by bowing down in front of the statue but in the second image the same image is seen posted on the internet, so the woman was just posing for a photo to be posted on internet to gain followers or likes | a photo of a woman, praying before the Buddha statue with closed hands, posted on some social media with hashtags | stage2 | The image is funny and satirical because it contrasts the sincerity of religious devotion with the modern habit of seeking online validation. The left panel shows a person praying respectfully to a Buddha statue, emphasizing a genuine spiritual moment.

EASY | A person wearing a yellow jacket, with snow falling around him.

They are also wearing boots and a jacket. | stage2 | This image is humorous because it contrasts the expectation of warmth with the reality of fashion choices. The person is wearing a warm, puffy jacket on the top half, as suggested by the "YES," implying they're prepared for the cold.

On the left, the complex Wi-Fi password shows that people often use strong, difficult-to-remember passwords for relatively minor things.

EASY | some t-shirts of the same type hanging together with size printed on the tag | The image is ironic, because it shows over modernization, earlier the size was printed on the label attached to the clothes but now for knowing even the basic details about the cloth like size there is some barcode or QR code attached which need to be scanned by some mobile phone or electronic device | some t-shirts of the same type hanging together with some | stage2 | This image is satirical because it highlights a common annoyance with clothing tags.

The first panel shows a refrigerator door with an egg tray designed to hold individual eggs, but the second panel humorously shows a full carton of eggs wedged into the tray instead of placing the eggs individually. It’s a play on how people often ignore specific design features for a more convenient or personal approach, making it relatable and funny. | The image is funny or satirical because it contrasts the expectation of using the fridge door's specifically designed slots for individual eggs with the practical and lazy choice of simply putting the whole egg carton in that space.

EASY | Images of a man with pattern baldness | The images are funny since they show how new hairstyles are closely resembling pattern baldness | Three men with unusual hairstyles | stage2 | The image is funny and satirical because it plays with the concept of a receding hairline, visually comparing it to a group of people with mohawk hairstyles who are giving thumbs up.

Initially, it shows someone walking into a Halloween party, suggesting they're dressed in a unique costume. However, the second panel reveals that everyone at the party is wearing the exact same outfit. This plays on the common concern of showing up at an event dressed the same as someone else, comically highlighting the idea with everyone identically dressed, adding a layer of absurdity and satire. | This image is funny and satirical because it contrasts the expectation of unique and diverse costumes at a Halloween party with the reality that all the women are wearing the same pink dress. This serves as a humorous commentary on social conformity and the tendency to follow trends, especially at events where uniqueness is typically celebrated. |

EASY | A mug that looks like a cat's face and has cat's facial features like ears | The irony in the image is that the mug is supposedly cute and quirky but it is completely impractical as a mug as it will hurt its user. | a woman drinking from a mug and crying because something on the mug is poking in her face | stage2 | The image is funny because it plays on the phrase "yes, but" while depicting a cute fox-shaped mug that appears desirable at first glance. However, drinking from it results in an awkward and impractical situation, as the character ends up with liquid spilling over their face. This exaggerates the often humorous reality that something can be appealing until its downsides become apparent. The humor lies in the contrast between expectation and reality. | The image is funny because it highlights the awkward design of a cute fox-shaped mug.

In the first panel, the cube appears solved from the front, which is an impressive achievement. However, the second panel reveals that only the visible side is solved, while the rest of the cube remains unsolved. This twist humorously reflects on how appearances can be deceiving and perhaps comments on the tendency to present things as better or more complete than they actually are. | The image is funny because it plays on the expectation versus reality concept.
