Best Tiger King Memes

As we all struggle to adjust to isolation, boredom, and apocalyptic news stories, Netflix has given us what we need right now: the hot mess that is Tiger King. And, what came shortly after: a whole slew of Tiger King memes to distract us from the fact that the outside world is a dumpster fire at the moment.

No, don’t go outside to see it. No, put down the marshmallows.

 

WTF Is Tiger King?

For all you cool cats and kittens who actually change out of your pajamas in the morning and haven’t watched 145 hours of Netflix, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness is a docuseries that follows Joe Exotic, a Lisa Frank-clad zoo owner in Oklahoma and his nemesis, Carole Baskin.

Tiger King is a deep, dark rabbit hole, filled with exotic pets and meth and mullets and animal cruelty and polygamy. It’s not a show that’ll make you feel good, but maybe it’ll make you feel less bad being stuck indoors with your charming roommate who decided to learn how to play the bagpipes.

The Best Tiger King Memes (So Far)

There’s been speculation about a second season, but until then, we all need to hang in there like Joe’s eyebrow ring. In the meantime, here are the best Tiger King memes to hold you over.

1. At least we found out early on that 2020 is not, in fact, our year.

2. The least surprising reveal of the whole series.

One of my favorite parts of tiger king is towards the end when they all start eluding to the “drugs” they did and eventually talk about how their drug of choice was low key meth AS IF WE COULD’NT TELL THAT THE ENTIRE TIME

3. All other quarantine activities are put on hold.

16. A true Renaissance man.

Me explaining #TigerKing to my mom:

There's a magician, meth head, tiger tamer, country singer, gay polygamist, an Alex Jones type but with live tigers in his videos, and presidential/gubernatorial candidate.

Mom: that's too many people to track

Me: oh that's just one guy

30. Trying to make sense of everything in Tiger King has cured our quarantine boredom.

I don’t wanna hear that you’re bored in quarantine. Go solve the disappearance of Carole Baskin’s first husband if you need something to do.
