The Lord Farquaad, voiced by John Lithgow, is the ruler of Duloc who exiles many fairytale creatures to the swamps.
Lord Farquaad wasn't much of a tyrannical ruler or scary villain for that matter. The character became well known on the internet and the fan base for many memes. Some make fun of his comical name, his antics, and others for his unique haircut.
Them Baby Blue Eyes
If there was something to appreciate about Lord Farquaad when it came to his looks, one might not guess what it is. Besides the chiseled jaw, Farquaad has a spectacular pair of sparkly blue eyes. The meme turned the revelation into a comical phone text and complement.
What better way to charm and woo a possible crush than by telling them they have Lord Farquaad's eyes? Once googling them, it makes sense and might not sound like a compliment at first, but it can be.
Sam Winchester As Lord Farquaad
There's something memorable about Lord Farquaad's looks. No, it's not just his dazzling blue eyes. It's his hair and its style. One fan couldn't help but notice that during a certain scene in Supernatural, Sam (Jared Padalecki) resembles the ruler. Sam is seen up against a car window but its his reflection that caught attention.
His hair warps into looking like Farquaads and even distorts his jawline to look more square. If they ever need a real-life actor to play the role, Padalecki could be in the running.
The Interrogation Is Actually Star Wars
It's safe to say that the interrogation scene from Shrek is one people often . It's a mix of comedy and intensity as Farquaad grills Gingy for information. A ruthless tactic that Farquaad uses is breaking off Gingy's legs. A fan made the comical tie to a popular scene from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
In the scene Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) uses his lightsaber to cut off Anakin's (Hayden Christensen) legs as he leaps over Obi-Wan. Many fans cringed at this scene, but the meme makes a comical comparison as Gingy represents Anakin and Farquaad, Obi-Wan.
The In-Between Phase
Deciding to cut your hair short is a hard decision to make. Short hair implies that it'll be cute for awhile before it starts to grow into that weird in-between phase. This phase isn't fun and can often times look a bit awkward.
What better way to explain the phase than with a meme of Lord Farquaad, as he lives for the in-between phase. It hits right at his jawline and curls inward. He even has the super short bangs to match.
Shirtless Lord Farquaad And The Witcher
The internet went into frenzy when So many comical memes were created from this scene alone.
But to be fair, Farquaad came first in regards to the hairy bared chest. Farquaad is posh and is seen in the film drinking a martini wrapped in an animal fur blanket and shirtless. He has a hairy chest just like Geralt. The scene actually has a raunchy connotation to it not many noticed at first. The meme was created using a popular The Office meme about trying to find differences between two photos.
Farquaad And Georgie
Darcey became quite a sensation when she appeared on the hit TLC show 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Fans got hooked on her relationship drama. So much so, that she and her twin sister got a new spin-off show titled Darcey & Stacey.
This time Darcey has a new man in her life whose Bulgarian. One thing that fans found interesting about her new love interest is his luscious hair. But fans couldn't stop seeing the resemblance to Lord Farquaad.
Lord Farquaad Or Kylie Jenner?
When looking up Lord Farquaad's memes, the comparison between Kylie Jenner and him are a popular one. It's for good reason. At the 2015 VMA's, Kylie Jenner wore a heavy rope knighted dress in beige color and sported some bangs. While the internet praised her look, some fans comically made the comparison to Lord Farquaad.
As Farquaads's wedding, he wore a similar heavily adorned outfit in a lighter beige color. He also sported his iconic hairstyle complete with bangs. The meme made fun of the fact that between these two, no one could tell them apart.
Lord Farquaad Was Once Real
This meme was created to soothe some people's worries about their looks. It made the joke that if ever feeling down, don't worry because Lord Farquaad was modeled after a real-life portrait. Not many are 100% sure who the man in the portrait is but he shares an uncanny resemblance to Farquaad.
There was an added joke underneath as someone realized that the man in the portrait looks like a combo of Snape (Alan Rickman) from Harry Potter and Farquaad. Snape did have the same type of hair, minus the bangs. Believe it or not, there was a rumor flying around that Farquaad was modeled after Michael Eisner, the former Disney CEO after a feud with Jeffrey Katzenberg. Katzenberg was once the head of Disney's motion picture division.
The Titanic, But Farquaad
Lord Farquaad's name in itself has comedic joke in it that has been used in various memes. A popular one is using the famous romantic scene inCeline Dion's hit song, "My Heart Will Go On," plays in the background.
One may notice that Lord Farquaad's last name has the word "far" in it. The song lyrics go as, "Near, far, wherever you are." Some fans decided to poke some fun and create this comical meme interchange the first word in his last name.
Where Are They?!
Playing games when a kid was a serious business. It required a level of intensity and grit. At least that's how it felt for some. This was especially true in Hide and Seek. The famous interrogation scene from the film was used to combine the intensity of the game with some comedy.
Farquaad aggressively asks Gingy where the other fairy creatures are. This level of intensity is the same as when a child finds the first person in Hide and Seek and demands to know where the others are. They were your clue to victory.
