The Barbie movie memes have officially dropped, and the Internet was not ready.

We have been counting down the days until Greta Gerwig's movie adaptation of the world's most iconic fashion doll ever since we first saw Margot Robbie as Barbie, Ryan Gosling as Ken and Barbiecore—the ultimate form of dopamine dressing—taking over our TikTok feeds. 

On Tuesday, April 4, we get even more of a feast for the eyes when the film unleashed its official character posters: yes, that means Dua Lipa with mermaid hair, Ncuti Gatwa in a cowboy hat, Kate McKinnon with a heavily crayoned forehead, Nicola Coughlan in sleeves bigger than our dreams, and much, much more. 

Naturally, the Barbie movie posters caused quite a commotion on social media, so much so that it was only a matter of time before people tracked down a Barbie poster generator and started making memes for themselves. Here are but a few of our favorites. 

'Barbie' movie memes are taking over the Internet:

1. 'Hangela Basset' *did* the *thing*

2. Somebody call Mark Zuckerberg

3. Add LiLo while you're at it

4. The only thing this movie is missing is Celine

5. That was way harsh, Tai

6. Tree Hill Ravens fans know what we're saying

7. There's only room in this town for one Barb

8. Dolls, assemble!

9. Greta was so real for that

10. Pass the popcorn, Plastics

11. Mother Monster? More like *Detective* Monster

12. The crossover we didn't know we needed

Barbie poster generator: how to make your own meme

Yes, you can create your own Barbie movie memes using Warner Brothers' official Barbie Selfie Generator, which also launched on April 4. Simply upload a photo into a template of the Barbie movie posters and then customize yours by changing up the color palette and coming up with your own personalized character tagline. (Ours? "This Barbie is about to go off.")

Watch the 'Barbie' movie trailer: 

April 4 truly was an embarrassment of riches, as fans also got a second teaser trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed comedy flick, which gives viewers a brightly-colored peak at Barbieland and all of its famous residents.
