Sometimes films give viewers not only interesting and exciting plots, but also memorable scenes that begin to live their own separate lives. Here are stills from films and TV series that were so good that they became memes.
For actors who play their roles perfectly, there are a variety of awards: from an Oscar to a Golden Globe. But there's another way to remember brilliant movie performances: turn them into memes. This happens only with the very best moments that fall right into the hearts of the audience.
1. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
In the film, Sean Bean's character says: "You can't just walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded not only by orcs. There lives an evil that knows no sleep. The Great Eye is constantly vigilant." Memomodels have shortened this text to the short “You can’t just take it and...”. And then the phrase is finished with the necessary words.
2. Star Trek
Patrick Stewart's character simply put his hand to his face, and ended up becoming the main character of memes about stupidity. Facepalm or hand gesture is used when you need to somehow react to absurdity or stupidity.
3. "The Avengers"
In the superhero movie, Robert Downey Jr. rolled his eyes so luxuriously that he was immediately made the hero of memes of all stripes. They send them in order to eloquently express their dissatisfaction or disagreement.
4. "The Great Gatsby"
Leonardo DiCaprio raising his glass in one of the film's scenes turned out to be the perfect congratulatory image for people of all ages.
5. "Community"
Community is a series about the lives of college students. The hero of the meme, Spanish teacher Señor Chang, discovered a tiny cheat sheet on the floor and is trying to find its owner. The expression on the teacher's face turned out to be so funny that it was immediately used in situations where you need to describe something incredibly small.
6. "The Walking Dead"
The basis for the meme was a moment from the series “The Walking Dead”, where a father talks to his son Carl. A phrase from the film “That Same Munchausen” was added to it: “They put raw gunpowder, Karl! They want to stop you, Karl!
The result is a template where “Karl” is added at the end of the phrase for greater emotionality.
7. "Pulp Fiction"
In the film, John Travolta's character comes to Uma Thurman's character's house to take her to dinner. Thurman decided to joke and, hiding, talks to Travolta using a microphone and speakers. Travolta cannot understand where the girl is, so he looks around in bewilderment. The still image from this scene is perfect for describing the confusion and misunderstanding.
8. "50 shades of gray"
In the film, a modest student meets a wealthy entrepreneur and learns about his secret hobbies. The scene in which the hero confesses to a girl about his unexpected hobbies has become the basis for memes. The girl reacts to the rich man’s story about what he likes with the phrase “Sick bastard.” This phrase was not in the film, but people thought it was perfect for it.
Therefore, if someone admits to you that he likes to eat herring and wash it down with kefir, you can safely send him this picture.
9. "Vampire's Kiss"
In the movie “Vampire's Kiss,” Nicolas Cage made such a face that he immediately ended up in memes. A shot of this moment is used when the interlocutor said something so obvious that you are simply amazed.
10. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"
If you want a meme that describes a person making crazy theories, this is it! A shot from an episode where one of the characters tells everyone his crazy idea is perfect for this.
11. "True Detective"
Matthew McConaughey puffing on a cigarette with a wild look in his eyes is the perfect reaction to shocking and terrible news.
12. "Scary Movie 2"
In the story, the priests came to exorcise the demon from the girl, but they were scared when they saw the possessed woman. When is this meme used? When you need to react to something really nasty or scary.
13. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
In one scene in the film, Keanu Reeves finds himself with such a mixture of suspicion and doubt on his face that it was only a matter of time before he became a meme. Usually the captions for this frame begin with “What if...”, and then there’s a crazy theory.
14. "The Bachelor Party in Vegas"
The character played by Zach Galifianakis goes to a casino and starts thinking up combinations in his head to win. At this moment, numbers and formulas begin to appear around him. Along with Zach's tense face, this shot perfectly describes the moments when a person has problems with math or any other calculations.
15. "Shine"
Jack Nicholson's Frozen Jack Torrance perfectly describes the moment when you are very cold. Starting from turning off the water in the summer and ending with autumn days when the heating has not yet been turned on.
16. "Game of Thrones"
Emilia Clarke's facial expressions in Game of Thrones are a special reason for the joy of the audience. In one of the episodes, the actress made such a face that she immediately became the heroine of memes. This shot of her is used to imitate someone. For greater effect, the opponent’s phrase needs to be rewritten in “lisping” language.
