Top 10 Most Memed Spider-Man Moments Ever

“Spider-Man” (2002)

In the 2002 “Spider-Man” movie, Flash Thompson was a stereotypical mean high schooler that was way too concerned about his own image. He really flies off the handle when Peter accidentally hits him with a tray of school lunch. Although the future Spider-Man wants to avoid a physical confrontation, Flash insists on fighting with one iconic line. The mean high schooler’s grammatically incorrect retort became a great screenshot to use in memes. This format becomes even funnier when Flash is pitted against an opponent who would absolutely destroy him. While this mean teen may have grown out of his fighting phase, his cocky reply will live on in infamy.

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (2018)

Although it's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, sometimes people fail to live up to who they’re copying. That’s where this Spider-man meme comes in. While the older webhead represents an impressive person or product, the younger one symbolizes a less successful imitator. This meme comes from the extremely successful “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. While the experienced Peter B. Parker is coming up with a plan to infiltrate an enemy facility, the young Miles Morales imitates his mentor while striking this pose. Fortunately, the new Spider-Man later becomes an expert hero. Maybe some of the imitators depicted in the meme this movie inspired will achieve great things as well.

“Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019)

The MCU’s Peter was devastated after his mentor Tony Stark made the ultimate sacrifice to save the world. It didn’t help matters that he was constantly reminded about Iron Man’s passing no matter where he went. While Peter’s struggles were sad, one of his lines about Tony from the trailer became comedy gold. This Holland quote became a great way to express annoyance towards someone or something that refused to go away. It could also be used ironically to highlight a person who definitely doesn’t deserve praise. Thanks to Peter’s grief, we have a meme that follows us wherever we go.

“Spider-Man” (2002)

If you’re looking for a very flexible meme, then we've got the Spider-Man screenshots for you. In the first film, Peter throws on his glasses the night after he gets his powers. However, he quickly removes them when he realizes that his specs actually make the world harder to see. This moment of realization was turned into a template where a blurry image represents the target of a joke and the picture next to the glasses is the punchline. While you can use this meme as a big insult, it can also be turned into a compliment. The Houston Rockets famously used this template on twitter to call James Harden the GOAT. It’s impressive to think that Peter’s improved eyesight got the NBA’s attention.

”Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017)

After Holland’s Peter Parker skips out on a few school responsibilities, he's sent straight to detention. Shortly after arriving, he comes face-to-video screen with a familiar hero. The image of Captain America staring us down became a great meme template. Internet users could easily call each other out for doing things they shouldn’t. At the same time, the meme could get extremely meta and be used to poke fun at Cap’s MCU journey or the pose itself. We bet Chris Evans wasn’t expecting this brief cameo to become one of Homecoming’s most meme worthy scenes.

“Spider-Man” (2002)

Willem Dafoe delivered all of his lines so beautifully in his first “Spider-Man” movie that any single piece of dialogue could’ve become a meme. Surprisingly, his innocent line about science became one of the most widespread memes. Norman Osborn initially said this line to hint that he had complex knowledge about the field. Naturally, internet users flipped this dialogue on its head. Whenever someone came across some basic science knowledge, they could add Norman’s face and quote to brag about their smarts. The meme could also be altered to point out how similar two pictures or people are. At the end of the day, you don’t need to be a scientist like Nomran to understand why his quote is so funny.

“Spider-Man 2” (2004)

Media mogul J Jonah Jameson is notorious for being cheap and undervaluing his workers. He proved this in an iconic exchange with Peter. When the young photographer asks for an advanced paycheck, Jameson reacts like he’s heard the funniest joke ever told. This moment was forever immortalized with a simple sketch and the quote “aw yeah.” In the early days of internet meme culture, it felt like Jameson’s face was absolutely everywhere. And over the years, it has grown and evolved to keep up with modern internet humor. We bet Jameson would be pretty mad that he didn’t copyright his own image so he could generate tons of money from this classic picture.

“Avengers: Infinity War” (2018)

Seeing Peter Parker fade into dust due to the Thanos Snap was one of the most tragic moments in the MCU. So, this moment was naturally made into one of the funniest memes from the universe. Internet users could easily take a screenshot from this sad scene to memorialize something mundane that disappeared. If they’re feeling really creative, they can make it seem like characters from other universes perished from the snap. It was hilarious seeing random people like Niles Crane fall victim to the mad titan. Fortunately, neither Peter Parker or this meme template faded away for good.

“Spider-Man 3” (2007)

An alien symbiote turned the normally friendly Peter Parker into a darker version of himself. While this edgier Spider-Man was initially loathed by viewers, he eventually became a beloved and hilarious meme. His angry outbursts are often turned into hilarious images. And this version of Peter is often edited into other universes to torment other heroes and villains. While nearly every aspect of the dark Parker is hilarious, his infamous dance scene is his greatest gift to fans. His not so smooth moves have been referenced in countless memes and movies over the years. Although emo Peter Parker might not be enough to convince fans to love the critically panned “Spider-Man 3”, his scenes will always make for top shelf internet content.

“Spider-Man” (1967-70)

While we could’ve put the entire 1960s animated “Spider-Man” series into a single entry, there’s one scene in particular that we had to point out. There’s an episode where a villain pretends to be the webhead and commits crimes. When the real Spider-Man eventually confronts his sinister doppelganger, they point at each other while both claiming to be the authentic original. This image of multiple Spider-man quickly became a great way for internet users to call out copycats. And it was so popular among fans that it was recreated in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. The fact that this 1960s scene is remembered fondly over 40 years later, became a meme and appeared in an Academy-Award winning film showed how much of an impact it made.
