12 memes that’ll make you laugh as Tim Curry turns 79

Tim Curry is one of the most storied artists of our generation. With a career spanning from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Clue to that unhinged turn as Pennywise the Clown, his larger-than-life persona breathed new life into the characters he played on screen. The British acting legend may also be responsible for what may be the most dramatic facial expressions ever captured on VHS.

He turns 79 today, and his appearances at the box office are becoming more sporadic - he was last seen in the horror flick 'Stream' in 2024. But the audience loves to see the British legend on screen and cannot seem to get enough of him even today. He has left such a lasting impression on cinema that his immortalization into meme form was all but a formality.

Whether it is the Frank-N-Furter Stare Meme or Wadworth frantically explaining the murder plot, or his Uncle Pizza character from Home Alone, every character he played throughout his career has been memefied into folklore. These memes have captured the collective absurdist spirit of the internet and continue to bring joy to fans worldwide. So, on the occasion of his 79th anniversary, let's have a look at some Tim Curry memes that will have you rolling in the aisles.
