Oscar Drama: 12 of the Best Will Smith Slap Memes
Introduction
Will Smith took fans by surprise this Oscar weekend when the fresh prince got up on stage and delivered a whopping b*tch slap straight to the left cheek of comedian Chris Rock.
While the whole escapade left people somewhat shook, it didn’t stop them from quickly spinning the scenario into a hilarious meme escapade.
Without further ado- here is a list of some of the best images making light of what could have been a career ending moment, but ended up just being funny instead.
1. Gotta Slap ‘em all
Oud to Pokemon. It’s kind of like this Pokemon meme was waiting for the Will Smith/ Chris Rock Oscar scenario. The frame-by-frame moment makes for a perfect Pokebattle. And a Will Smith slap is definitely a sure fire way to catch 'em all- especially if you’re Chris Rock.
2. Will Ninja
Another meme to add to the collection. Fruit ninja featuring Will Smith is so nostalgic it’s just an all round feel good meme. Despite the drama!
3. AbLisa x Will Smith
UK followers will remember this throwback X-factor moment that has kept the nation laughing since 2010. AbLisa’s X-factor audition went down south and the best friends ended up in fisticuffs moments after receiving negative feedback from the judges. It was totally uncalled for but kind of funny. Looking at you Will Smith…
4. Peep Show Will Smith Special
You don’t need to have seen Peep Show to get this meme- the vibe is AA style, and the therapeutic dance class for wholesome, life lovers doesn’t necessarily include Will Smith.
5. Will and Robin
The Batman slapping Robin meme is one of the most popular memes on the internet right now. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more viral it did.
6. Star Studded Reactions
Ok, not really a meme- but this compilation of celebrity reactions to the infamous Will Smith slap is a gold mine that has enough lols to dish out one for each day of the week. Meryl Streep, and The Rock are amongst the top highlights.
7. Will Smith Meme-ception
Will Smith is no stranger to being meme-ified. Back in 07’ Smith was pictured doting on his wife Jada at the Screen Actors Skills Awards. His flamboyant display of affection became known as the "Tadá!" meme that circulated the internet endlessly. Now, the two memes collide as the stars' most viral moments merge to make a hilarious cycle of good Smith bad Smith.
8. Pineapple on Pizza
Basic but effective. Italians will find this meme hilarious knowing that pineapple DOES NOT go on pizza. Despite the obvious, the world wide debate continues…
9. Jesus Will Smith!
After the drama, it turns out that Will Smith actually did win an Oscar- his first Oscar ever. Well that made things awkward following the fact that he just assaulted Chris Rock on stage. Fortunately this meme captures that awkwardness perfectly.
10. Will Smith - The Mixtape
For all the music lovers, Will Smith may have just provided the best album cover of 2022.
11. The Wrath of Will Smith
What makes this Will Smith scenario so hilarious is just how over the top it actually was. Hard hitting jokes are always cast at award events in Hollywood- Ricky Gervais being notorious for them. Will Smith even appeared to be laughing at the joke at first. But the mood quickly changed following the slap and this meme captures that moment perfectly.
12. Enough Will Smith
To all the people that have had enough of the meme overload, we’ve got a lol for you too. It’s annoying when something happens and people just can’t help but talk about it over and over and over again. Fortunately this meme has got you covered.
