Hit Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh is a huge fan-favorite and has birthed a ton of memes influenced by the series and iconic characters. Drake & Josh, which initially began in 2004 and ran until 2007, is absolutely hilarious and gives all of its old fans a huge sense of nostalgia.
Drake & Josh follows the boys as they grow up and come to learn to live together as a family. They eventually become more and more brother like and eventually end up regarding each other as such. Drake & Josh memes are not only hilarious but also manage to tap into fans' nostalgia.
The Jedi Ain't Truther
Combining Drake & Josh with Star Wars prequel memes has created some of the best memes there are. This meme has Drake and Josh as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith, just before the grand battle ensues. Anakin and Obi-Wan were a lot like brothers, which makes the fact that this is Drake and Josh so much better. It also pairs the classic lines "You callin' me a liar?" "I ain't callin' you a truther!" which is just a perfect retort to the lies of the Jedi.
Video Games
Adults always like to blame video games, no matter the situation. Violence, bad ideas, and especially slow computers. This meme is hilarious because it takes one of the moments in which Josh is accusing Megan of some kind of evil deed, and replacing it, making it more relevant to the meme at hand. Moms really do open 783 tabs while running 456 programs but still blame the video games their kid plays online.
Megan!
A few years ago, there was some drama regarding Drake and Josh in their real lives. Josh Peck got married and Drake Bell wasn't invited. The fans got kind of in an uproar about it, as Josh clearly didn't think he and Drake were close enough to invite.
Drake got really affected by this and made a bunch of tweets about the events because he felt like Josh was really like a brother to him. The two boys are over it now and are totally cool with one another, but after the drama, fans of the series all felt like Megan must have stolen Drake's invitation in the mail. This meme is excellent for the fact that it implies she is doing just that. Megan!
The Grim Reaper
Some of the greatest memes are also the most simple. The original version of this meme features Josh saying "I do not control the speed at which lobsters die," about a lobster dying of course. But in this meme, the majority of the words are blocked out to only say "I control the die" with the previous caption of "When you're the grim reaper." This meme is mostly fun due to how simple, and bad, it actually is. The words are scratched out ruthlessly in the best way.
Gamesphere!
This meme is obviously a little old as the PS5 was recently released, and there is no Xbox 720 (as so many people had hoped) but it still stays true. Everyone wants a Gamesphere! What is cooler than a spherical gaming council that looks like a massive bowling ball? Josh compares his amazing Gamesphere to the other popular consuls of the era but disregards them all if he means he gets to play on the sphere once again. His game face is on full tilt.
Locked Out
This iconic moment from Drake & Josh when Drake forgets to cut the hole in the door so that the boys may leave their treehouse is one of the funniest moments in the entire series. It seems like many fans agree as well, as this has become one of the biggest memes from the show. In this particular one, the meme mashes some Nickelodeon powerhouses as Drake and Josh stand outside of Spongebob's house in the freezing cold, locked out. Josh looks pissed, as he does in the show, but the way his arms are crossed also kind of makes him look cold.
Doin' It
This meme takes two famous quotes and blends them together. Emperor Palpatine saying "Do it!" is one of the most iconic moments within the prequel series in Star Wars. It also just so happens to be a huge meme now as well.
Palpatine's "Do it!" combined with Josh's iconic "Doin' it!" is sheer perfection, as it seems that Palpatine has now made Josh fall to the dark side.
Adulting
Being an adult is hard, a life lesson that Drake & Josh definitely didn't prepare its audiences for. But, in a lot of ways, Drake & Josh at least portrayed these two amazing characters going through a lot of the same problems the audience goes through now. But instead of getting beat up by a bunch of kids, fans get beat up by the bad choices, consumption of carbs, and their horrible anxiety. Adulting is hard.
Netflix Adaptations
While Netflix adaptations have progressively gotten better, they originally started out as horrible messes, thus where the "manga," "anime," and "Netflix adaptation" memes began. This meme focuses on popular anime, Re: Zero. Rem and Ram are twin sisters with two different colored hair, blue and pink. In the anime and manga, the two girls look exactly as intended, but in the "Netflix adaptation," it seems like Drake and Josh will be coming back together to take on their new moe roles.
The Jedi Are Coming
Another prequel meme, this one is set in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and is actually from one of the opening sequences. What is great about this meme is just how much Drake and Josh do not fit into the Star Wars setting. Josh looks at Drake with disapproval, who in this case, seems like he didn't anticipate the Jedi using their lightsabers to break through the door. Josh's face is filled with disappointment, which just makes it so much better.
