The Stranger Things franchise just released its trailer for the much-anticipated third season of the show, and we gotta say that we're pretty freaking stoked for it. There's a new Upside-Down Monster and the kids are, well, not kids anymore. Unfortunately, we all have to wait until the Fourth of July for the debut of the newest season, so in the mean time we hope these memes will help to hold you over.

Everyone has fears, but this weekend's award for funniest goes to actor Vincent D'Onofrio. You might recognize the quirky, burly actor from Netflix's Daredevil or the ol' Law and Order: Criminal Intent. D'Onofrio grew up in South Florida, where apparently monkey "petting zoos" are a thing. The actor goes on quite the tirade about how this specific zoo changed his life forever. Spoiler alert: monkey petting zoos should not be a thing!
Generation Y gets a lot of sh*t constantly for supposedly being lazy, entitled and easily offended. Are these things actually true? The answer to that is of course subjective, but if you're a Millennial then you'll know that stereotypes about us tend to be a bit (or a lot) overplayed, and these tweets make light of that.
While the the 2019 Oscars were exceedingly memeable, the most meme-worthy award definitely goes to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Their performance of A Star Is Born's "Shallow" was almost uncomfortably intimate, and proceeded to spawn a wealth of suspicious and tea-loving tweets about the duo's sexual tension. Memes quickly followed, ranging from sexual in nature to celebrations of our banal Oscarless lives. While these are some of the funniest memes we could find, we're willing to bet that Gaga and Cooper will be gracing Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram for the entire week. We're not complaining.
The internet is pretty dang obsessed with Marie Kondo right now, so we're here for any trending memes that honor the creator of the KonMari Method. This newest trending meme has been compared to classic Drakeposting - used to represent the things that "spark joy," and the things that don't. It's, of course, resulted in some serious responses, and in classic internet fashion, some snarky ones that we can all relate to. Enjoy!
If you're in the garbage person category like we are, you may have been writing off organization expert Marie Kondo as an unnecessary hack. An eyeroll-worthy self-help guru. Well, Netflix seems to believe in the celebrated author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Her show for the streaming giant was released on New Year's Day, a move that some may argue was a bit cutesy. According to social media, the show has already won over the internet. And when you win over the internet, the internet gives back in the form of memes. Here are some of our favorites.
Netflix released a special episode of Black Mirror just after Christmas and people can't stop talking about it. The full-length film is an interactive, "choose your own adventure" experience with five possible endings and over a trillion possible permutations of the narrative. If the options are sound overwhelming you're not alone. Being in control of a character can become intense - and viewers have started to meme about the agony and the power of controlling the life of the young programmer Stefan. The memes are fantastic, but please be aware that SPOILERS lie ahead.
If your timeline is anything like ours, it's completely infested with memes about Netflix's Bird Box. The Sandra Bullock-powered thriller has already been watched by over 45 million accounts. It's no wonder that the movie (which has received very mixed reviews) is receiving the royal meme treatment on Twitter and beyond.
But Bird Box isn't the only acclaimed film that took audiences by storm, along with the obligatory memes. Shrek and its 3 sequels (with one incoming) were the epitome of growing up in the 90s / early 2000s. Whether you were 5 or 50, Shrek was a delight and had humor made for everyone. Some might say its a bit ogre-rated, but I would say it deserves the acclaim. Keep cackling with some of these hilarious Shrek memes, or see how Shrek has really been integrated into everything, literally everything.
It's widely acknowledged by the anime-loving community that Netflix adaptations are devastatingly inferior to their manga and anime counterparts. Fans discontent was so strong that it eventually turned into a meme back in September - and it's still going strong. Here are some of our favorite renditions - one even featuring Charles McDowell, thicc neck himself!
