Maybe it's because memes tend to only be a few lines and an image, or one or the other, while even a short skit can fit in quite a bit of dialog. Since D&D tends to be more longform and more about stories of things happening, it makes sense that jokes about it need to be a bit longform as well.

I had an experience like this the first time I dm’d. Basically, I had the party investigating an orc attack on a merchant caravan, but when they kept searching for loot I decided to give them something. That something ended up being a minor necromantic artifact I made up on the spot (the player searching was a necromancer) that the caravan’s owner was going to sell. Thankfully they didn’t ask about what it did, so I figured I could come up with something later- maybe use it to give the Necromancer some kind of bonus or at least let the party sell it for money Unbeknownst to me, the party assumed that the artifact was illegal and sinister, and _murdered_ someone to hide that they had taken it. I didn’t want that to lead to nothing, so I gave the item a bit more lore, and it’s already becoming the central plot Mcguffin the BBEG wants

Reverse engineering the murder, and then applying the 5 Why's to the perpetrator is the bread & butter of a good mystery design. Sometimes when you're done, you wind up with a sympathetic murderer who killed an evil person, and then the players have to figure out how they're going to handle it. There are so many possibilities, and on the DM side moderate upfront prep. After that, the session itself is just free-flow jazz.

Come to think of it, if a player asks something specific like "I check his pulse", you just answer whether they feel a pulse or not. You can save medicine for something more trained like "can I determine how long he's been dead" or the like.

Gotta love when they discard important story details because they try to figure out what they're "supposed" to do instead of what they should do.

It's like video games have limited and tutorialized mechanics and they seem to require slathering clime-able surfaces in yellow, shining a light on them, having a hud marker highlight them AND have a companion character comment on the surface looking clime-able yet there are still people that don't realize you can climb a thing.

biggest problem whenever my Gm does a puzzle or mystery is when he expects us to all have the same brain waves and think how he does. Usually we just laugh it off after brute forcing the puzzle with shit like detect magic and knock, but it can still get pretty annoying.
