Oppenheimer took the world by storm back when it came out in 2023, and though largely most of the hype around it stems from the rivalry it had with Margot Robbie's Barbie, the movie was a massive hit in its own right. Plus, with stars like Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, and Emily Blunt, how could it not be?

Also, Barbenheimer (Oppenheimer + Barbie) may have paved the way for a million memes, but Oppenheimer did too. In this list, we've compiled just that: some of the funniest, most mind-bending memes that are both thought-provoking and hilarious at the same time.

So, sit back, and we'd usually tell you to relax, but some of these memes may require you to give it a moment more than usual for it to sink in. Either way, enjoy.
