Yahoo News 26 hilarious Tiger King memes that sum up just how wild the Netflix show is
Since its release on Netflix earlier this month, Tiger King has pretty much been the only thing anyone can talk about.
Striking the perfect balance of intrigue, salaciousness and downright absurdity, it's no wonder the documentary has amassed such a vast following.
At the centre of it all is Joe Exotic: a mulleted, gun-toting exotic animal park manager who at one point boasted the largest collection of big cats in America.
Viewers then learn of his ongoing feud with Carole Baskin, a rival who owns the Big Cat Rescue in Florida.
And while the tall tale is enough to keep anyone entertained, the memes that the show has inspired are perhaps even more grabbing. Here are the most hilarious ones...
Nothing can prepare you...NOTHING

It's uncanny
Biggest take away from #TigerKing for me was learning Doc Antle had a role in Zoolander. pic.twitter.com/yNzbOLzHA4

We must protect Barbara at all costs
Watching #TigerKing and somehow the woman who wants to be a yoga animal trainer is by far the most normal person. Barbara, I hope you’re living your best life right now. pic.twitter.com/cMP3eUsjm2
