This post had me stumped because I didn't understand why there were links to bank locations mixed in with the pictures. I'm guessing it's a way that postimages.or g can include spam links into the cut and paste image links they make.

I thought that was pretty obvious

Sometimes the trick to understanding memes is just to take the most obvious reading

I'll admit, it took me a second, but then I laughed until I choked!

"Loose Lips" had me going pretty good too.

Okay, I guess Sulu threw me.

The loose lips for this old sailor was an instant chuckle.

What about that one of posted just above the Wizard of Oz? Seals? Manatees? Whatever... I don't get it at all.

I think the seal flopping around is just a funny photoshop.

I don't think it really 'means' anything. . .

A “clever” way of commenting about the previous post (lions, et al.) without making it obvious that it was a comment in a thread that wasn’t supposed to include comments—?

I believe you're right but let erj_pilot explain his extra Sulu meme post.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Guessing it is a poke at the fact that every grille on every car and truck keeps getting bigger and bigger. Resulting in ridiculousness if it continues at the current rate. The grilles on a BMW 2002 was about 3 inches across (many years ago).

For the 2020 model year, BMW has updated their cars with dramatically larger grilles. The 2020 picture in the meme is an actual image of how the 2020 BMWs look. A lot of people think it looks stupid and are making fun of where it will go if they continue the trend.
