Shrek, the gruff yet kindhearted loner that we all saw debuting in 2001, has become a pop cultural phenomenon. It has charmed its audience with its unique brand of humor. Not only his humor but also his appearance has drawn many to consider his character as a staple for laughter.
With a big bulbous belly and a signature Scottish accent, his appearance has inspired many memers to create hilarious memes that tickle our funny bones just right. He was a character that made the simplest of swamp life look fun and interesting. Who can forget his side-eyeing antics or the way he enjoys himself casually?
These memes are a favorite of fun-loving netizens because of how they capture life’s most bizarre, frustrating, and hilariously unhinged moments just like they happen in real life.
Imagine the Monday morning blues when we are too tired to get up but the clock strikes 8? Put a Shrek face one the scene and boom! You have your perfect meme with a dead stare. Shrek is not only popular for his grumpy-struck-by-frustration look.
Take the example of the signature smug grin on that green face. Perfect for sending a curated meme with a smug Shrek face when he is proven wrong. If you wish to take the drama a notch up, just consider the 'What are you doing in my swamp?' to catch anyone off guard.
No Shrek meme can be complete without the bestie. Donkey by his side, like the AI Apple Dog, is incomplete without that red apple. The overtly energetic, loud, and extroverted Donkey accompanies Shrek at all times (after all, they are nothing short of besties).
The cute duo reminds us of that one introvert stuck with an overtly enthusiastic, extrovert friend who just doesn't stop hooting and screaming out of excitement in movie halls.
Shrek brings a stark contrast to the traditional portrayals of a fairy tale hero. A green-looking ogre living in a swamp barely fits the traditional idea of how many would perceive a protagonist. But thanks to the creator of Shrek, first in book and eventually in movies, we found a perfect amusement in the jolly experiment with heroic tropes.
No animated character can come to life without the excellence of its voice actor. His voice was given by Mike Myers. Even his voice adds to the element of humor. Not to forget his iconic sarcasm and wit!
Prepare your funny bones and nostalgic nerves, because we are about to delve deep into a sea of green ogre humor. Sit tight!
