We post a lot of Star Wars shitposts and dank memes, but this post is dedicated to our main man Obi-Wan Kenobi. This badass MF is in enough Star Wars movies and shows for us to say he's a serious MVP where sassy memes are concerned. Here are some of his finest moments of trolling gold.

We could imagine that going to war makes one have a bit more of a hardened outlook on life.
We all know the classic romanticized Disney tales from our childhoods, but get ready for these hilariously twisted takes on them! And to be honest, we kind of like these no-bullsh*t synopses better anyway...
Harriet, a biopic about Harriet Tubman, was just released earlier this month to favorable reviews, but apparently not everyone had the same ideas about exactly who should portray the American hero.
Screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard stated in an interview with Focus Features that one studio executive suggested that Julia Roberts, a white actress, should play Harriet Tubman. When someone else chimed in about what an absurd idea that would be, the same exec replied, "It was so long ago, no one is going to know the difference." We wish we were joking about this but alas.
Additionally, we would say that this news is positively absurd, but then again, nothing in the news is really surprising anymore, is it?
If you haven't been following the Shitty Film Details Twitter account, you're technically not missing out at all. It's chock full of largely useless and sometimes completely fabricated film facts that won't do you any favors at trivia night. But since we spend the day scrolling mindlessly through memes, we kind of dig this uselessness. Maybe you will, too.
What could be a better combination than Spongebob and Keanu Reeves?
How could Spongebob possibly get any better than it already is, you ask? Just add Keanu Reeves, of course. The internet hasn't been able to contain its excitement since the release of the new trailer for The Spongebob Movie: Sponge On The Run, where our boy Keanu makes a little cameo as a tumbleweed. Here are some of the best dank meme reactions we've been able to find, and some more spongebob memes in case you can't get enough!
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and now Disney+? Sometimes more choices are not necessarily a good thing. Disney just ditched Netflix and came out with its own streaming service this week and the internet is pretty divided on where they stand with it.
Now instead of paying one flat fee for a multitude of TV shows and movies on one streaming service, you can pay a bunch of little fees for a million different companies who don't give a sh*t about you! And predictably, those costs add up.
Our solution to all of this? Don't pay for any of them! For legal reasons we can't tell you to pirate anything, so we won't.
Anyway, take a little stroll through the following memes and tweets that roast the stupid number of streaming services available to us now.
If you're a fan of the cult classic Shrek, then you're lucky as hell because there is certainly no shortage of memes about the green ogre himself.
Fun tidbit: did you know that the Shrek story originated from a 1990 children's book of the same name? Now you do! It was written by cartoonist William Steig and purchased by Stephen Spielberg in 1991.
Now onto the Shrek memes!
Until now, our favorite hot button theory about Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory has been that Grandpa Joe is the true villainof the film and the Roald Dahl book it's based on. This Tumblr thread from user evayna changes all of that. In the film, the impoverished Charlie ends up winning the f*cked up competition, thus inheriting Wonka's fortune and position as the world's most deranged and masochistic candy maker. Evayna believes that this honor should have been bestowed to the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, and she's got some solid evidence to back this theory up. We're 100% sold.
It already feels like we've experienced an eternity of Joker memes, but the internet isn't done with the film yet. The latest Joker-related meme stems from a very cringey and off-base tweet about the film. The tweet came from @__greys, who sent out an image of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker paired with one of Heath Ledger's. In both images, the villains are pictured in a car - and this was enough for Kevin to include the critical caption "for those who didn't catch the reference". Twitter users started mocking him pretty immediately for his "analytical" take, even making parodies featuring other movie characters in cars to mock the logic behind the tweet. We feel kinda bad for @__greys, but these tweets are too good not to share.
The Joker hit theaters just last Friday and boy has it caused a stir among the masses. The most noteworthy of all of the backlash has been the concern that the film may incite violent behavior, namely in the incel community. The US military sent around a warning that the film might inspire some to replicate the 2012 movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
On a lighter note, please enjoy these memes!
