Tiger King: The Best Memes About the Wild Netflix Documentary

Tiger King Netflix

If you haven't yet tuned into Netflix's latest true crime series Tiger King what are you even doing?

The seven part series which landed on Netflix on March 20 tells the story of Joe Exotic, a gun-toting, mullet-ed, polygamist who runs a huge roadside zoo in Oklahoma, housing a huge number of tigers, lions and other animals and his rivalry with local animal rights activist, Carole Baskin. It also includes drug lords, murder plots, amputations and country music videos. Yup, we said it was a wild ride.

As we find ourselves in our own form of captivity, self-isolating to help stop the spread of Covid-19, Tiger King could not have arrived at a better time. So for the ultimate distraction from what's going on in the world, here are some of the best memes and tweets to come out of the craziest Netflix show to date...
 

The docuseries is getting many viewers through lockdown

Me explaining #TigerKing to my mom:

There's a magician, meth head, tiger tamer, country singer, gay polygamist, an Alex Jones type but with live tigers in his videos, and presidential/gubernatorial candidate.

Mom: that's too many people to track

Me: oh that's just one guy

Joe Exotic: “Alright, I’m gonna be honest...someone just got their arm ripped off by a Tiger.”

Um, step aside, pal. You’re way too young and buff and you know it. You could probably pull off Maldonado still, actually. Wouldn’t that be fun?

The pettiness of the Joe-Carole rivalry is standing in for office gossip but we're still not sure who, if anybody, is"right"...
