Pop culture permeates almost everything we do nowadays. If we're not off the grid completely, most of us know a thing or two about celebrities. Also, we make memes about them; sometimes making fun of them, other times admiring them.
This time, we've compiled a collection of memes for pop culture enthusiasts. For those who might get the joke about Leonardo DiCaprio dating younger women, "The Rock" playing the same character in every movie, and Taylor Swift being an avid aviation fan. So scroll down and check out some memes about these pop culture icons below!

Leonardo DiCaprio is known for only dating women under the age of 25.
Load More Replies...We see famous people almost every day: on social media, in the news and on the big screen, we listen to their music and know about their lives perhaps more than we ought to. We only know their public personas, of course, not the real people behind them, but we still form opinions based on them.
In this age of social media, it's particularly easy to think that you know a famous person if you follow their daily life. Celebrities have never been closer to us; that is, we've never felt closer to them than before. Like Liam Gallagher coming onto Twitter now and again to answer some silly questions and generally shoot the breeze with his fans.
But, I mean, she is doing shows almost weekly since at least two years. That's not exactly just half a year of work 🤷♀️
Sorry but i cannot unsee him as an old crazy dude screaming at an empty chair.
The way he treated Sondra Locke is what stands out, to me. The man's a pig.
Never understood the attraction. He was old and almost washed up when Moses was a boy
His movies usually range between a Rock and a hard place..
Load More Replies...his ability to act while wearing different sleeve length is admirable.
I actually think he is quite a good actor considering his start was just due to his muscles. I find him believable in the limited roles he chooses--he hasn't started thinking he can do Hamlet. I admit, I swoon over him and he makes me laugh. At least charm, sexiness, and strength are good qualities. Most athletes who make the transition are painfully wooden.
I feel bad for the cast of Jumanji. They were stuck between a Rock and a Hart place
Well, from the position of his mouth, he does seem to make different sounds, so that counts for something.
Some celebrities become more relatable to us on social media and that's a phenomenon that wasn't really prominent some years ago. Samantha Brooks, a postdoctoral researcher at King's College London, told Yahoo! that before, we would only see a rare interview with our favorite celebrity here and there.
"Now many public figures post openly about their personal lives, their thoughts, feelings, opinions, their day-to-day lives, etc. on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok. They're a lot more 'accessible,'" Brooks explained. Professor of Cultural Sociology at London's City University Chris Rojek told the BBC that, back in the day, celebrities like Marlon Brando were almost gods.
As long as he's dating consenting adults it's really no ones business.
Because it's pretty damn creepy for a man who is almost 50 to be constantly dating women younger than 25.
Load More Replies...When Saving Private Ryan is the 2nd least serious captain....?
Load More Replies...I don't know. You can't get much more serious than surviving D-day then trekking across hostile territory and most of your squad being killed. Cpt Miller was peak seriousness even if the plot was a bit silly.
That seems so mean and un-called for, and as soon as I quit laughing I'm going to complain to someone.
Load More Replies...I laughed way to hard at this one, I woke my dog up 🤣🤣
Now I know what she meant by "I tried to scream but my head was underwater"
A popular singer, used to have her hair dyed like this; black with neon green roots
Load More Replies..."People may now think Beyoncé is a god but she is much nearer to us than 30 or 40 years ago... We're drowning in media access to celebrities," Professor Rojek explained. Many experts agree, saying that we're starting to feel fatigued when it comes to celebrities: too much, too many, and too everywhere.
Does "cheesy" mean it isn't actually cheese? I'm guessing so based on the palm oil disclaimer.
Yep. It’s shown a picture of a cow on the way outta the factory
Load More Replies...But why do we put famous people on such a pedestal? Why do we idolize them in the first place? One reason is quite innocuous: it just takes our minds off of daily stress and problems. It's a form of escapism; idolizing someone who has a glamorous life takes us away from our own routine, which we might view as dull and uninteresting.
Lets not give them credit for natures wonderful curves, when all they do is plastic
Slipknot has their maggots, Lady Gaga has her little monsters, Adele has her bored pandas
Load More Replies...I agree. She made you hate a fictional character so much.
Load More Replies...Dang, I could sip Scotch all day at a big picture window for about half of that. Cheap icons are good.
However, other reasons can be problematic. Samantha Brooks suggests we might idolize famous people because we aspire to be like them or are looking for a gap in our lives to fill. "[They have] attributes we feel are lacking in our own life, or it might be that forming an attachment to a celebrity — even a parasocial, unreciprocated one — can be a kind of compensation for lacking real-life relationships, real intimacy, real attachments, to people in our own lives."
Taylor Swift has been criticised for using her private jet too much.
Load More Replies...So we're making fun of the pop singer and not the 2,000 attendees of the global warming conferences who each take their own private jet plane?
I read he now has it put in his contracts that his character does not die.
Sean Bean only lives one movie, that's why Boromir died in The Fellowhip of the Ring
Met him in a night club in London. Grumpy b*stard. Upon reflection, maybe that was because he had to die again soon...
He’s from Sheffield. Of course he’s a grumpy bastárd!
Load More Replies...Yes. That's a character divining his fortune. Sean Bean isn't pictured.
Load More Replies...Rumor has it there's a deleted scene where he's hit in the head with a golf ball and dies.
Load More Replies...Appx. 5 other well known actors die more than he does. So it surprises me that he alone is joked about. His character dies in appx. a little less than 2 out of 3 roles. Danny Trejo is far, far worse when it comes to the record. Sean Bean said he wasn't taking any more roles in which his character died but he died at least 2 more times after that. Maybe he's just trying to swerve us into thinking he might not die this time. Btw, massive fan here. I first saw him as Boromir and I was instantly in love with him and the character. I've hunted down about 80% of his work and it kills me I can't find or access the rest.
Its the Nickelback Effect. People just choose him and the buzz was overwhelming therefore hes the gold standard.
Load More Replies...However, there's been a shift in how we perceive celebrities lately. People are becoming more and more skeptical about how relatable celebrities can actually be, calling them out on social media for their privileges and refusing to participate in celebrity worship culture. The turning point for this was possibly the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.
One great actor. Thanks amber, we all are aware now just how bad of an actor you are.
I also loved the line to Orlando Blooms character when he was chastising Jack Sparrow about being deceptive and Sparrow said "Pirate" like what did you expect?
I gotta see if my perants are finally gonna let me watch this or not (I’m 17 for context 💀). They still don’t want me to see hunger games.
His next girlfriend will be Ariana Grande, she looks like she is 10 years old for years now.
Honestly her butt looks like she’s wearing Depends most of the time, it’s cartoonish 🤭
Load More Replies...They're like Gollum, they come out of the cave into the sunlight for a moment, say/do something stupid, screw a "celebrity" then go back to the cave.
Load More Replies...Looks like you'd have to get naked if you need a pee. As in, I don't think you can sit on the loo with this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have to ask, is the need for occasionally sitting on a beanbag such a big problem that you have one permanently attached to the rear of a bright green onesie?
People all over the world deemed the now-infamous "Imagine" video where celebrities banded together to sing the John Lennon classic as cringeworthy and incredibly tone-deaf. Instead of showing people that "We're all in this together," the stint exposed a different kind of reality. While some people had to scramble to survive, celebrities were living in their gated communities and comfortable mansions.
Yeah, but Wolverine is like 160 years old in the comics, so at least it's an accurate portrayal.
Load More Replies...This guy's a legend. He does multiple ad libs and nobody literally nobody complains in the film crew and just goes along with it because of how good they are
People's only complaint about Ryan Reynolds is his wife.
Load More Replies..."That was the government message: that rich and poor alike, we're all at risk. Well, we're not," Professor Rojek explained. "You look at these celebrities and they're all clearly in [compound-style houses]. They've got walls all around them and they're living in the lap of luxury. So for them to reach out and say 'I understand your pain' is a bit fanciful."
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Prolly not
Load More Replies...Something I learned in my divorce (though I managed to keep mine)… technically and legally the engagement ring belongs to the (ex-)husband as it’s seen as an acceptance of a contract (the relationship). And when the relationship is terminated, the ring (should) go back to the husband.
People just love putting her down, it's not like she's the only celebrity that has been married or engaged many times.
Well, that and she's a notorious b***h to everyone
Load More Replies...Is that like when Dolly Parton entered a Dolly Parton lookalike contest and lost?
You better not be talking about Prince the musician there, that be foightin talk where I come from! 😮 😉
Load More Replies...That's the place you ought to be. So he loaded up the wagon, and moved to Beverly.
They also go to New York City. Southern California isn't the only place for stars.
With some famous people, we might start feeling celebrity fatigue. Liza Anderson, Hollywood publicist and founder of Anderson Group Public Relations, explained to Yahoo! that the rule 'All press is good press' isn't necessarily true. "There has to be a balance," she said. "You want to make sure they're connected to their audience and they're connected to their fans, but not so much where the fans are rolling their eyes every time they hear their name."
I have a feeling most of what Elon musk says will be in the "That didn't age well.." category.
how tf does "civil war" happen across an entire continent? I don't think that's what it means ;--; (bullying musk, not you)
Load More Replies...“Here’s an AI generated picture of my trans daughter as their *actual* gender because I’m a crappy human being.” (ETA punctuation)
he's a smarty pants for sure until he opted to go "orange" and then he lost it.
What's the point of this one? Was she suppossed to not get older? Or is she not allowed to make music because she's older, is she supposed to go sit around and be bored? In some cultures older musicians are revered, but here they get criticized for still making music... weird.
I don't criticize her for still making music or even for getting old. I criticize her for doing everything possible to avoid admitting she's getting old. Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, and Aretha Franklin all managed to age gracefully and still remain relevant.
Load More Replies...Right? Those bastards are like human beef jerky & Keith Richards is like the cryptkeeper's grandfather, but heaven forbid Madonna's not sitting at home knitting jumpers & making lamb pies
Load More Replies...Aw come on. I wish I'll be half in shape as Madonna when I reach her age.
You can! All it takes is 150 visits to the plastic surgeon’s office.
Load More Replies...HAHA! It's funny because she's aging like a human being, and still talented and in demand! HAH...oh, wait...that's reality, not funny; Sorry, I forgot
I wish I could squat like she does. If I tried that I would either collapse from my knees or lose balance and fall backward. And she does it in HEELS.
If they pass it like the USA men's relay teams have over the last several olympic games Kevin will drop it a Sam will continue in those roles, I hope!!!
Load More Replies...Hell no. Sam Jackson has many likeable qualities. Kevin Hart is someone to be endured. Can't think of a movie of his that I enjoyed
Maintaining some mystery is a way celebrities can avoid that. Experts say that famous people like George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, and Beyonce are good examples of a balanced media presence.
"She doesn't take pictures with people. She doesn't do press," Anderson said of Beyonce. "You don't really know anything about her, she's very private. People want more, and they don't get enough, so when she does a big feature in a magazine, people are glad to see her."
I am a huge advocate for doing whatever you want with your own money. As long as it doesn't affect mine, I'm good.
Same, but I’m not a fan of the blatant greed and price-gouging of fans who just want to see their fave artist perform. Greedy people everywhere, and everything keeps getting more and more expensive.
Load More Replies...However they did get to go to Taylor Swift events. All the streets were lined up with Swifties singing and swapping bracelets.
Load More Replies...Or total suckers who are getting scammed 🤷♀️ depends how you look at it.
Load More Replies...I was behind on tv watching. So when I heard that he was leaving because they were straying from source material, i will be honest, first thing i thought wss " well he is getting entitled". Then I watched season 2 and half of 3. I dont care if they stray from source material because i dont know the source material. But that was just utter shite writing.
Henry Cavill is a huge Witcher nerd and wanted to be in the show because he's such a fan, I wouldn't say he was entitled for being annoyed at them ruining this thing he likes that badly.
Load More Replies...The Henry Cavill one is Witcher, not sure about Jenna Ortega, but and a guess it's about Wednesday.
Load More Replies...That man is getting paid for having a good time. That's my dream gig.
Then cut to announcer with eyebrows raised and then to band members stifling giggles
It makes you wonder if they’re laughing with him or at him
Load More Replies...He's about as funny as a walk through a children's cancer ward at the hospital. Same for Kimmel.
Just wait until you've seen their politicians, or their news channels
Load More Replies...None of the current crop are worthy of shining Carson's shoes (if, you know, he were still alive). The only way to match Johnny's talent would have been to somehow fuse Letterman's sense of humor with Leno's interviewing skills.
Load More Replies...Or maybe she had amnesia and had forgotten her name, and was grateful to be reminded!
Can you imagine being so egotistical that you vocally massacring a Dolly Parton song makes you think you are a Country music star?
Well, there's not many different characters you can play when you're 90% muscle.
I have issues with eye related things and this photo made me so deeply uncomfortable
Load More Replies...So for once there’s something on Bored Panda that I would actually like to be censored, and what do they do?! 😵💫
And this is exactly how it started. If your issue isn’t censorship itself, but rather what is being censored, you’ll eventually end up censoring too many things because pretty much anything can be a potential trigger for someone.
Load More Replies...No. It's the Eye-rish way of saying "top of the morning!" Get it eye- rish..? Womp womp.
Load More Replies...Every thing upset the Catholics. Even the Catholics upset the Catholics!
Catholics don't like to have their statues vandalized, defaced, beheaded or burned. Catholics don't like to see their Churches (especially the ancient ones in Europe, or the old one in America) burned, defaced, desecrated, or vandalized.
Does the fish have a bunch of children she's collected in her travels?
And neither is sexy in my opinion, just think how much lippy stick she goes thru in a month
Looks more like Don Knotts as a fish in The Incredible Mr. Limpet Screenshot...7a-png.jpg
Looks like a lot of MAGA women... Lara, Kimberley, Laura... Angelina is talented and attractive. The others, not so much!
Didn't she already play a fish in that awful Wil Smith shark movie? My memory has mostly blocked it out as a measure of self-preservation.
Many people do not know that Michael Caine served in the British Army as part of the 1st Battalion of Royal Fusiliers, A Platoon, C Company. Private Caine was sent to the front line of the conflict - the 38th Parallel and saw combat in the Korean War
I think Michael Caine can have a chair, a sofa and a mini castle on the set at this point.
michael caine is often in christopher nolan movies, and he is old and therefore needs to sit down but apparently christopher nolan doesn't allow for chairs...
Load More Replies...It seems like he’s only in movies where jungles are the theme. So without discovering jungles he would have no movie credits
Load More Replies...Ummm... Because some of his movies are 'Jungle Based'?
A true, good thank you for his fans would be leaving Scientology and apologizing for all the damage he helps them to do
I will never forgive him for what he did to Mission: Impossible. Peter Graves should be allowed to beat him to death with a sock full of nickels.
So you cannot be masculine whilst listening to Harry Styles? Who knew. I guess me listening to LiSA while running means I left mine at the starting line? *Shrugs*
I think they meant to say "heterosexuality." Which, as a straight man, can confirm.
Load More Replies...Goodbye, masculinity! See you in a few hours/days/weeks/months/years!
You know that Pete doesn't give a f**k about it, right?! He's probably showing it off to friends and people he meets on the street bragging that he slept with her! :))
She wishes ... and I doubt the royal family would want to be connected to her in any way.
Ten years ago I would have agreed with you, now I'm not so sure
Load More Replies...Hey he is just living his best "the cool & goofy H.S./Uni stoner guy who dated all the ladies" later in life. If they like him, why not?
Yeah, but if they can do it to women, it is only fair, we can do it back.
Load More Replies...huh I was always taught PEMDAS- parenthesis, exponets, etc
Load More Replies...I think this exact thing! I believe their “friends” sacrifice themselves to the money gods for themes
I was curious as to what the "s****ping" censored word was (surely it couldn't be 'shopping'?). It was "stripping". But apparently "daddy kink" is fine in the BP world
not only did they put their watermark on this, they stripped out the original watermark. Ok, BP, this is a line too far.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Some of these I don't understand, of course some of these people I never heard of, or I've heard of them, but just don't follow them.

THPS came out with a remastered version of 1 and 2 on Xbox a lifetime ago, and I bought it to happily relive the awesomeness I''d experienced as a younger man. I couldn't beat half the levels and eventually quit playing in frustration. Aging can be harsh.
Dude is only jealous because he can't grow one, so he married one.
Pretty sure putting your watermark on someone else’s creative work ISN’T fair use, BP. Pretty sure it’s INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT. You can’t put your watermark on there.
Are you allowed to watermark images that aren’t yours? Seems suss
That was the most unfunny, incompehensible presentation I have ever seen on BP.
