Thanks to its 2017 revival, Twin Peaks has been part of the pop culture conversation in the past few years. The TV drama, co-created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, aired for two seasons from 1990 until 1991, and followed the mysterious murder of popular high schooler Laura Palmer.
Although the subject matter of the show is fairly serious, the tone is very whimsical and at times, completely strange. Many fans admit that the show is pretty confusing even though it’s so well-crafted. That’s why it’s the kind of TV series that is perfect for memes. Here are 10 Twin Peaks memes that are too hilarious for words.
Coffee, Please (But Where’s The Pie?)
Whether you’re a true Twin Peaks fan who has seen each episode countless times and gone over fan theories and beliefs as well, or you’ve seen the odd episode, you know one thing: FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) loves his coffee. And he really loves saying that he’s drinking a great cup of coffee.
Sure, he’s looking into what happened to Laura Palmer… but sometimes it feels like his main job is drinking coffee. He really does love the caffeinated stuff.
It’s So True
This is another Twin Peaks meme that is too hilarious for words. Loyal fans of the show would totally agree with this meme since it often felt like Dale Cooper really did forget about Laura’s murderer.
Of course, with a show as confusing as this one, thanks to its dream sequences and interesting scenes, it’s a little bit tricky to completely follow what’s going on at all times. This show isn’t exactly known for being straightforward, and even though the main storyline is figuring out why Laura died and what happened to her, that isn’t really the way that it’s structured.
Does Anyone Actually Get It?!
On that confusing note… This meme is great since it has two of the best characters from the beloved sitcom The Office (Dwight Schrute played by Rainn Wilson and Steve Caroll’s character Michael Scott) and it’s literally about the confusion that many people feel when watching Twin Peaks.
How many times have you said to yourself, “This is such an amazing show… even though I don’t really get it?” Exactly. This meme put into words what so many fans have been thinking. Of course, part of the reason why Twin Peaks is so compelling is because it’s so high-level. You want to keep watching and trying to decipher what’s going on.
Oh No
According to fans who have posted about this online, the international pilot has an extra 20 minutes. That’s not all, though: it also says who murdered Laura Palmer.
It would definitely be frustrating to hear from a friend that they had learned about Laura Palmer’s killer from the very beginning. That’s not exactly the kind of information that should be in a pilot of a TV show, so it’s interesting that this was included in the international pilot.
Okay, Here’s The Cherry Pie
Finally, here’s a hilarious Twin Peaks meme about the fact that so many characters talk about (and love) cherry pie. Dale Cooper isn’t the only fan in town.
In a funny exchange, Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick) asks Gordon Cole, the FBI Regional Bureau Chief, “Would you like some cherry pie?” He responds, “Massive, massive quantities. And a glass of water, sweetheart, my socks are on fire!” David Lynch played this character, which makes this an even better scene and an even better meme.
A Hot Cup Of Covfefe
In the spring of 2017, the Internet was buzzing because Donald Trump tweeted the word “covfefe.” No one knew what it meant. No one even thought that it was actually a word. To this day, it remains a mystery.
Someone decided to combine this word with Twin Peaks and create this hilarious meme. There are tons of other memes with this word, since it went viral immediately, but it’s fair to say that the Twin Peaks one is solid.
Probably Not…
Whenever a revival of a popular TV series starts airing, it’s easy to get caught up in the fun, excitement, and nostalgia… even if you didn’t watch it back in the day. Since it’s all that anyone is talking about online, at work, and in your friend group, you want to be a part of things.
That’s why this meme is so hilarious. Of course, asking if it’s okay to watch the 2017 revival without having seen the first two seasons is definitely a rhetorical question. If your friend asked you this, you would have to laugh or just shrug and give them a bemused look. After all, it’s not that likely that you’ll understand every moment even if you have seen every episode.
Live, Laugh, Love
This Dale Cooper meme is another really funny one. Chances are, a lot of people can reltae to this and have thought the same thing. Many people love finding cute signs that say “Live, laugh, love” and putting them in their entryway, a hallway, or in their bathroom.
Sure, it’s adorable… but it’s also a little bit annoying. And it begs the question: do you really want to have the same home decor as everyone else? You’re probably with Dale Cooper and would love to go home when you see this type of sign.
Happy Birthday From The Log Lady
The Log Lady is one of the most infamous characters from Twin Peaks. Played by Catherine E. Coulson, she is never seen without her trademark log and everyone believes that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
The show wouldn’t feel the same without her, and this hilarious meme is perfect to post on your friend or fellow Twin Peaks fan’s social media page on their birthday. It’s the best way to receive this type of celebratory greeting and so much more fun than simply saying “Happy Birthday.”
A Meme For Homebodies
At the end of Twin Peaks (well, before the 2017 batch of episodes, that is), the ghost of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) appeared and said, “I’ll see you again in 25 years.” While that wasn’t exactly a hilarious scene, this meme is truly funny since it combines that line of dialogue with what everyone wants: to stay home.
Honestly, while hanging out with friends is fun, there’s nothing like being in your cozy apartment or house and watching some TV. Or some Twin Peaks, perhaps?
