Llama-3.2-11b's Take:

This meme features a screenshot from the 1984 film "The Shining" with a character from the movie's hotel environment, but the character is replaced with the computer icon from the "Clippy" software that was used in the 1990s. The image is captioned "Clippy just got a job at the Overlook Hotel".

This meme is a humorous image of a nearly empty, dimly lit, and seemingly abandoned McDonald's restaurant. The image is captioned with the text: "Oh thank god, I was getting hungry." The meme is likely intended to be ironic, poking fun at the idea of being relieved to be in a place that is often associated with food, but finding it empty and uninviting.
