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.
