When editing a theme on tumblr, this used to be the sample preview picture post for what your blog would look like. It's the tumblr picture version of Lorem Ipsum.

[el-pony-qlo]

[keranos-god-of-storm-crows]

This is probably one of the most obscure references that I think could possibly be made

[turquoisewave]

I can’t think of a single person who wouldn’t get this.

[space-flannel-deactivated201707]

Im so confused

[spectralhwa]

@jokes-explained ???

[jokes-explained]

the reference is from the early episode, "jellyfish jam" episode of spongebob in which jellyfish dance to the same music.

Depending on how you look at it, half of 8 could be 4, 3, or 0.

[jokes-explained]

1. half of the numerical quantity of 8 is 4 (8/2=4)

2. the physical number 8, cut vertically ||| in half would be the physical number 3 and its mirror image

3. the physical number eight cut in half horizontally --- resembles two zeros, one stacked on the other

[suethepencilnitentreewitchremad]

@jokes-explained

[jokes-explained]

According to Know Your Meme, Harambe is that gorilla that got shot at the Cincinnati Zoo last May because a child fell into his enclosure. The “dicks out” part is explained on the page as well (below).

“ On July 2nd, 2016, Twitter user @sexualjumanji posted a selfie photograph in which he is shown pointing a replica firearm at the camera along with the caption “We comin with them dicks out to avenge harambe!!!” On July 4th, comedian Brandon Wardell tweeted the phrase “dicks out for harambe” “

@jokes-explained i dont get the mime one

[jokes-explained]

Mimes aren’t supposed to speak and by verbally replying to his boss, the mime is breaking out of character.

[tardisvoyager]

@jokes-explained what about the spaghetti one

[jokes-explained]

I’m not sure, followers?

[jokes-explained]

According to @kefiiirs: "for the spaghetti one: its a reference to eminems song lose it in which from what i remember the main character goes to a rap battle but gets nervous and publicly throws up moms spaghetti all over his sweater."

I love how every musician knows exactly what this is and what it means

[danisontnonfire]

I hate this

[colorfulstormuniverse-blog]

I haven’t properly played my flute in two years and I still understand this

[shostakovich-was-a-paramore-fan]

I love how this is still circulating, and that it’s not just musicians that reblog this. 90% of children had to endure this torture

[soprano-mess]

I just sung it in my head and now I’m consumed with rage

[talonscars]

@jokes-explained ??

[jokes-explained]

it's the musical notes for the song "hot cross buns" which is a very easy song for beginner musicians.

[jokes-explained]

for clarification on the one you posted about chungo scrungus: it looks like the OP of that was parodying anti-sj comic artists who would make comics with blank-featured characters labelled "feminist" yelling ridiculous things. people started editing them to say even more random things to make fun of anti-sj artists for making such obvious strawmen and making them as serious representations of feminists. if these jokes were mocking feminism would have been presented way differently.
