Whether your an aspiring feminist like Lisa or a wholesome churchgoer like Ned, there's really something for everyone when it comes to the characters on Simpsons. One of the reasons that the show has had so much success is because of the huge variety of dynamic characters.
As for Moammar Morris "Moe" Szyslak, perhaps there's a bartender you know that reminds you of him, or maybe you see a little bit of yourself in Moe. Either way, here's ten funny memes of everyone's favorite relatable, sad, and gruff bartender.
Moe In The Shining
The 80s were a great time for both television and film, and this crossover meme shows that there are fans of both comedy and horror from that era. Moe is inserted into the iconic bar scene, replacing Lloyd, and complaining about Danny Torrence asking him for "redrum."
1980. While one debuted at the start of the decade, and the other near the end, The Shining and The Simpsons are alike in the sense that they will both have a lasting legacy.
Happy Birthday
As people get older, birthdays can sometimes feel more like something to dread rather than something to celebrate. So, it can feel extra awkward when restaurant staff sings happy birthday to you, but, in all likelihood, it's probably just as awkward for the staff sometimes.
This meme of Homer and Moe's faces is a popular one, and it's the perfect template to describe this uncomfortable moment that most people have experienced at one time or another.
Wholesome Guns
As a lonely bartender, Moe can be irritable and even hostile at times to people around him. Dealing with drunks night after night no doubt comes with its downsides, and, in times when things get out of hand, Moe has had to pull out his gun. But, Moe also has a soft side, and he's one of Homer's best friends. This meme from Tumblr memesrfunaf flips the image of Moe's gun-toting, hostile personality and turns it into a more wholesome image overall.
Napoleon
This is another popular meme featuring Barney Gumble, the Springfield town drunk, and another one of Homer's best friends. Barney is always at the bar and even ends up sleeping there occasionally, which explains this frequently used meme of Moe throwing Barney out of the bar, only to have him reappear behind him moments later.
This meme is great for history buffs; the military general-turned emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was indeed difficult to get rid of. Napoleon waged war and conquered much of Europe, expanding his empire until he was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Describe Your Nursing Job
While bartending can be a gross and grueling profession, in today's times, it's more obvious than ever that nurses and other workers in the shows glamorize working in hospitals, the reality of working with sick humans can be far different, and, at times, disgusting. This quote from Moe is a way that some healthcare workers might describe their jobs.
Grand Theft Auto V
There's no doubt that some parts of including but not limited to finding a frozen alien, scuba dive for sunken treasure, encounter ghosts, and fight Teen Wolf.
Fans of the game are eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto 6, although there's no telling when it will be released. One thing players can guess is the fact that GTA 6 will be just as racy and weird, and certainly not something you would want to play with your parents watching.
Everyone suffers from low self-esteem from time to time. Moe is certainly no exception, and most audiences would agree that the character is often battling depression and even suicidal feelings throughout The Simpsons.
This meme originated from season seven's twelfth episode, where Homer and Moe start a bowling team along with Apu and Otto. After being denied a lane at the bowling alley, Moe has a moment of indignation where he asserts that he's better than dirt before changing his mind and walking back on his own comment, realizing he can't compete with "store-bought dirt."
Keep Up Appearances
While The Simpsons is an animated comedy, it definitely has a lot of serious and heartfelt moments. Despite being a bizarre, cheap, and antagonistic character at times, Moe's struggles with depression are something that makes him more real and relatable to viewers. In a lot of ways, Moe has a lot to deal with as the sole owner and operator of Moe's Tavern, facing loneliness from almost constant rejection, and is a single parent to his cat, Mr. Snookums.
Moe, I Am Your Father
Much like voiced by Ray Liotta, ran a chain of mattress stores called Mattress King. It was a tradition for Morty to compete with other mattress store chains by planting bedbugs in their mattresses. When Morty encouraged Moe and his siblings to carry out the tradition, Moe refused, having seen a family picture of the mattress store rivals and feeling empathetic towards them. The rivals ended up planting bug beds in Morty's mattresses, however, which resulted in Morty losing his business and disowning Moe.
The Simpsons has become such a phenomenon that memes from the show can be found in all kinds of languages in all corners of the world.
Hugh Jass
A long-running joke in The Simpsons involving Moe is the fact that he always falls for Bart's prank phone calls. Bart will ask to speak to a bar patron with a pun name, which Moe will shout out and humiliate himself before realizing the prank, threatening Bart and hanging up.
Despite the prank calls happening so often, Moe can never seem to catch on. Some of the names Moe has shouted out include, Seymour Butz, Al Coholic, and Mike Crotch. There was one time, however, when there actually was a real person with a pun name at the bar, which is what this meme comes from. Hugh Jass was not a regular at the bar, but he happened to be there when Moe shouted "somebody check the men's room for a Hugh Jass!"
