Instantly iconic. It's the waffles for me. That intense stare is giving full Eleven energy, and those pajamas seal the deal. This commitment deserves all the Demogorgon points. Now I know what I'm doing next time there's a Stranger Things premiere. Where can I get those Eggo waffles anyway?

Those quick reversals from 'worst dad ever' to a heartfelt apology are relatable in every language. Kids are experts in crafting emotional rollercoasters in ten minutes or less. I can't decide whether to laugh or hug someone. That little stick figure is oddly touching.

The faces of a dad and four infants locked in the ultimate battle of Risk. It feels like they're plotting world domination—maybe they really are! When mom checks in, just send this photo. Clearly, what could possibly go wrong?

Someone’s office prank game is on point—and probably sowing confusion all morning. M and N will never feel safe again. You know this is going to haunt people for weeks every time they try to write 'Monday.' Nomster indeed.

Your car thinks it's smarter than everyone, but not quite. Drive-thru attendants beware—you might just get outsmarted by a cone-detecting sensor. Tech still has a way to go, but at least it gives us excellent comedy in the meantime.
