Since it's one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises of all time, an iconic duo and continue to remain so to this day.
Spock and Kirk have a legendary friendship together, so it's no surprise many fans noticed it and created memes in honor of the pair.
Losing It
Kirk and Spock are good friends and even though they don't always agree with one another, they usually solve their disagreements peacefully. But when Kirk had the audacity to claim that Spock didn't love his mother, Spock lost it and beat Kirk senseless as a result.
In the end, it doesn't matter how much Spock claims he has the perfect control over his emotions - it just doesn't always look that way.
The Smart One And The Impossible One
Kirk is the captain of the ship and Spock is its first officer/science officer. But that's not the only obvious difference between them. Kirk is the more impulsive one, he specializes in doing the impossible and he enjoys overcoming obstacles.
Spock, on the other hand, is much more logical and he prefers to think before he acts - so he uses his remarkable intellect to get the Enterprise out of trouble more than once.
Back In Time
Kirk and Spock went on many extraordinary missions together. But one of the most special ones happened when they traveled back in time to the 1980s and ended up in San Francisco where they wanted to save a couple of whales.
Even though Kirk and Spock acted and looked strange, almost no-one batted an eye at it because San Francisco is the type of city accustomed to all kinds of unique fashion styles.
So Illogical
Time travel is a common enough plot in Star Trek movies and TV shows. It played a significant part in the 2009 Star Trek film as well. An older Spock showed up and saved a younger Jim Kirk on a random planet where the younger Spock randomly threw young Kirk.
It was all very random but as Spock points out when Jim asks about it: the show must go on, and there's no time to lose and think about the logic of what's happening, or lack thereof.
The Perfect Solution
It would be understandable to think that on a space ship with several hundred people, the captain and the first officer would never have to go on dangerous missions and beam down on unknown planets.
Yet that's exactly what Kirk and Spock did on regular basis. According to this meme, they had a good fail-safe - they had their safety ensured by bringing along guys in red shirts who died instead of them. Brutal, but efficient.
How (Not) To Celebrate An Anniversary
Kirk and Spock might be best friends but the cultural and other differences between them are still obvious. For example, Vulcan cuisine is much different from the human one, and not everybody enjoys it - besides Vulcan themselves, of course.
So when Spock offers to celebrate the 50 years of their onscreen friendship by making the iconic plomeek soup, Kirk isn't grateful but less than excited instead.
The Ultimate Dad Joke
The definition of the dad joke is clear - something only the person who's telling the joke finds hilarious. The circumstances in which the joke happens are usually a bit different, but the result is the same.
Spock doesn't get why it should be funny, and Kirk's disappointed. The truth is that even though they have very different styles of humor, they're still good friends, and that's what matters in the end - dad jokes or no dad jokes.
The Ultimate Love Story
Many fans believe that Kirk and Spock were closer than the show and movies ever showed. But even if they read their friendship just as friends, it turns out it's still a better love story than Twilight for some.
For one, Kirk and Spock don't endanger each other's lives, in fact, they save them on multiple occasions. They're different species but one doesn't want to eat the other. And finally, Spock sacrifices his life to save not only Kirk but a whole ship of people. Take that, Edward and Bella!
No Signs Of Intelligence
If someone needs a proper burn to use against his enemies or simply people they don't like, Spock and Kirk show the way how to do it. To let someone know their company isn't welcome is something the duo can do like no-one else. Spock makes it sound more polite than his Captain, but silently, he approves.
Even though he sometimes believes that the rest of the Enterprise crew also fits the definition of a lack of intelligent life.
Kirk And Spock Did It First
2020 will be always known as the year of social distancing. But what might not everyone realize is that Kirk and Spock did it first.
The meme takes one of the saddest scenes of the franchise and turns into something dark but hilarious.
