The Car Salesman Slaps Roof of Car meme: A drawn image of a salesman in a suit explaining to another man who is listening intently. The salesman is gesturing to the egg mass of diamondback squid (Thysanoteuthis rhombus) floating in the sea. The egg mass is magenta and is a coiled thread of squid eggs, forming a tube that looks not unlike a slinky. Test on top reads: "Squid Egg Salesman: *slaps egg mass* this bad boy can fit so many eggs in it"
A picture of Snoop Dogg (Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) on the left, and a picture of Bathyteuthis squid (Bathyteuthis sp.) on the right. The squid is reddish orange and has large beady eyes with the pupils dilated. The squid is inking, and the cloud of ink looks like whisps of smoke. Text below both images reads "SNOOP DOGG SAYS ONLY ONE PERSON HAS OUT SMOKED HIM"
A "The cooler Daniel" meme. There is a year book with two pictures in the centre. The left one is labelled "Daniel" and it is a European common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) swimming on top of seaplants with its arms all pointed down. It is mostly brown and light brown with white on its bottom. The right picture is labelled "The cooler Daniel" and it is a European common cuttlefish in white box wearing red and blue 3D glasses. Its arms are reaching out in front of it with a spread pattern. The cuttlefish is mostly light brown with white at the bottom.
Wizard pondering their orb meme. A wizard with a big bushy beard in grey robers is staring at an orb on an ornatet stone table, except the orb has been replaced with the "squorb" (squid orb), a dead Rough Cranch Squid (Cranchia scabra) found at a beach that has its mantle in a spherical shape. The squorb has been tinted blue to match the original orb's glow. A figure is peering in the distance from a stone doorway.
10/10 is Squid and Cuttlefish day or #squittleday, so have some banger squid memes
Cool squid in an ancient Roman sea bed mosaic - looks like it has sunglasses on its head LOL! (not covering the eyes, which are visible - like if you had your sunglasses resting on top of your head)
