While there are many hilarious references to film scenes online, there’s really nothing like a fantasy movie meme. Plenty of these memes originate from fantasy movies with great stories and excellent action and can reference things like legendary lines of dialogue, reactions from characters, or nonsensical moments. While some of the best fantasy TV series of all time also feature meme-worthy moments, most typically come from movies.
These memes are used in different ways, too. Some typically focus on a particular quote or still image, whereas others simply mock a memorable moment from these films. For example, the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies, and even franchises that blend sci-fi and fantasy together, like Star Wars, are full of memes. Regardless of their origins or purposes, these fantasy movie moments are so famous that they have become massive memes online.

“One Does Not Simply”
The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)
The “One does not simply walk” meme from Sean Bean’s Boromir in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the most iconic moments in The Lords of the Rings movies. This scene comes about at the Council of Elrond, where Boromir announces that it is not as easy to trek directly to Mordor as the others initially understand it to be.

However, this moment is so much more than that. Bean’s face is absolutely hysterical, and it makes sense that so many viewers reuse this image to depict their thoughts and feelings on pretty much anything.

In fact, Bean himself considers this scene to be a major part of his legacy as an actor (via The Independent). This moment is so simple yet brilliant, and it’s a great example of why fantasy movies are the perfect breeding ground for memes like these.

“What If I Told You?”
The Matrix (1999)
The Matrix’s “What if I told you?” meme is often used to explain a piece of information to whoever comes across it, although it’s usually something petty or about an unnecessary qualm. However, this adds to the humor of the meme, and it’s hilarious to imagine Morpheus patronizingly explaining something to the viewer. While there are plenty of standout moments in The Matrix movies, this one is by far one of the most notable.

Interestingly, one of The Matrix’s most famous meme quotes is a lie. The line is actually not said by Lawrence Fishburne’s Morpheus, despite what many viewers believe. Morpheus says this when he informs Leo about the Matrix simulation, but in reality, he asks Keanu Reeves’ character if he wants to know what “it” is. The original quote doesn’t actually exist at all, but there are several other possibilities as to why this common misconception even exists, including the Mandela effect and influences from other TV shows.

“For The Better, Right?”
Star Wars: Episode II – Attack Of The Clones (2002)
Before Anakin and Padmé’s secret Star Wars romance even properly begins, the pair share a picnic together, which is the source of the franchise’s staple “For the better, right?” meme. The two are actually discussing the state of the Republic and how they are governing society, but many take Padmé’s reaction to Anakin’s statement about changing the world and use it to respond to all manner of ridiculous situations online.

While a lot of these memes are often related to real-life politics, this format is also used for several other comical reactions. Of course, what makes this meme even funnier is knowing Anakin’s fate in Star Wars, especially as his later personality as Darth Vader is one of the most destructive figures of all time in sci-fi and fantasy movies. Padmé and Anakin’s relationship is doomed from the start, really, and this hilarious meme only foreshadows their ending.

Dumbledore’s Reaction To The Triwizard Tournament Drawing
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (2005)
Dumbledore’s unhinged response to Harry after he is selected to take part in the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is one of the most widely discussed movie moments in the franchise. This moment is also one that readers and viewers alike mention frequently, especially because in the book, Dumbledore asks Harry about his name ending up in the running for the dangerous competition in a rather calm manner.

Interestingly, the exact screenshot of this scene, and the discrepancy between the novel and film, are both memes. The movie scene, however, is a more memorable meme.
Dumbledore is typically a stable and strong figure who knows what’s going on before anyone else.
Many use this format to make a joke about over-the-top reactions to real-life events and general media, and it’s a great way of doing so. Throughout the Harry Potter movies and books, Dumbledore is typically a stable and strong figure who knows what’s going on before anyone else, so this strange and slightly out-of-character moment for Hogwarts’ headmaster is a hilarious basis for a meme.

Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)
The image of Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka leaning his head against his hand is an iconic meme, which is often referred to as “Creepy Wonka” or “Condescending Wonka.” What’s so great about this moment is that Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a movie from 1971, yet the meme is only from recent years thanks to the internet. In the original scene, Wonka does this when he asks his visitors if they want to see a new product he is working on, but the meme expands way past this.

Many use this format to make a patronizing or sarcastic response to an issue, which is hilarious, considering Wonka isn’t trying to be this way to the group in the actual scene. This moment is also typically depicted as light-hearted, but many forget Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory’s harrowing tunnel scene and the traumatic things that happen to the other kids that occur after this.

Confused Gandalf
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)
The “Confused Gandalf” meme is another prominent meme from cinematic history. This moment occurs during the first of The Lord of the Rings movies, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf mentions he has “no memory of this place” while traveling through the Mines of Moria. This simple line results in a brilliantly funny meme which many use as a reaction image, often in relation to their own disoriented memories.

For example, “Confused Gandalf” is often used online after people return to work after a long vacation, which is a hilarious way to explain they’ve forgotten how to do their jobs. Of course, this scene also sets up The Fellowship of the Ring’s ending, in which Gandalf sacrifices himself to save the others. “Confused Gandalf” is often compared to “Confused Travolta” in Pulp Fiction, too, although this Lord of the Rings scene is the fantasy movie version of it.

“Hello There”
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith (2005)
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s “Hello there” meme is another legendary moment in the Star Wars universe. While Kenobi says this line in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the meme format actually originates from Ewan McGregor’s version of the character in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

This happens when Kenobi jumps down and surprises General Grievous, and the villain’s response of “General Kenobi!” is also another quote that the meme often incorporates, too.
While there are many Obi-Wan Kenobi memes from the Star Wars franchise, this one stands out the most.
There are loads of parodies, music remixes, and general jokes about this scene across the internet, and most people can immediately identify the character from this meme, even if they aren’t familiar with the Star Wars films or Kenobi’s titular spinoff. Hopefully, Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 will reference this iconic line again, seeing as it is only uttered once in season 1.

“You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.”
The Princess Bride (1988)
Vizzini’s “Inconceivable!” line in The Princess Bride is one of the most memorable and hilarious things about the film, but Inigo’s response is actually a more prominent meme than Wallace Shawn’s dialogue. Throughout the movie, “Inconceivable!” is used to describe any kind of event that occurs, but at one point, Inigo points out his repeated use of the word and tells him “I do not think it means what you think it means.” What’s hilarious about this moment is that Inigo is completely right.

After Vizzini tries to cut down a pirate and mentions he doesn’t fall, Inigo gets fed up and points out what audiences are all thinking. This meme format is constantly used online to point out others’ errors, whether that be incorrect information about a current issue, or simply to call someone stupid. It’s used so much, in fact, that many check out The Princess Bride just because of this scene, and while it’s a strange reason to watch a film, it’s still great so many are being introduced to it because of this meme.

Captain Jack Sparrow Running Away
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
Captain Jack Sparrow running across the beach away from the cannibals is a great scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which is now immortalized in meme form. The “Jack Sparrow Run” is a meme in itself, which refers to the way Johnny Depp’s character constantly sprints with his arms flailing around, which is seen in most of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but this scene from the second film demonstrates it the best.
The image is typically used online as a reaction to something overwhelming or even scary.
Viewers are frequently recreating Sparrow’s iconic run in social media posts on platforms like TikTok. However, the image is typically used online as a reaction to something overwhelming or even scary.

It’s always hilarious to see someone post a controversial, yet trivial, opinion about something, only to use this scene in response to the heated comments they receive. Although Jack escapes the cannibals, this moment is a brilliant way for viewers to depict their feelings about certain topics online.

“Tis But A Scratch”
Monty Python And The Holy Grail (1975)
Every Monty Python movie contains multiple hysterically funny moments that are meme-worthy, but no more than King Arthur and the Black Knight’s battle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The “Tis but a scratch” meme, which is also known as “Just a flesh wound,” refers to the moment when King Arthur chops off both of the Black Knight’s arms. The Knight’s uncaring response to this is nothing short of hilarious, and the brief second he takes to reference his lack of limbs before returning to the fight is comedic genius.

Internet users often use this meme to react to a huge event, whether that’s personal or across the world. The apathetic response to something traumatic or life-changing is popular online, and Monty Python’s similar type of humor means there are plenty of memes from the films that fall into this category. There are loads of amazingly funny quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but this fantasy movie meme is by far one of the best.
