Fast & Furious 9: The 10 Best Memes Celebrating The Film’s Release

The best way to celebrate a new Fast & Furious movie’s release is by poking fun at the dubious logic behind the series. Fans have always embraced the over-the-top aspect of the franchise and have indulged in creating memes that make reference to these things that shouldn’t make sense.

With Dominic Toretto and his crew returning in F9 to battle his brother Jakob and longtime enemy Cipher, it’s worth looking into the lighter side of Fast & Furious as a way of hyping up the ninth installment’s release. These memes will simultaneously amuse and make fans appreciate the long-lasting potential of Vin Diesel’s tentpole franchise that has been active for two decades by now.

10 That Sounds About Right

The series has veered off course from where it originally started from its car racing roots to the point where the cars are pretty much secondary to the action. Of course, the real comedic aspect is how the characters’ importance has shot up to ridiculous lengths.

Starting as street criminals, they’ve become all-important special operatives who have to save the world, with this meme joking that The Rock will still be playing Luke Hobbs in Fast & Furious 42 and that he’ll be taking on an alien invasion.

9 Just One Tiny Detail

The life of the franchise has extended due to the inclusion of spin-offs and sequels, taking the scale to massive lengths. And yet, Dom keeps stressing the importance of being from the street, prompting the creator of this meme to combine both aspects.

To this end, they’ve figured that the neighborhood will remain identical to how it was in The Fast and the Furious, only with the small detail of tanks replacing cars by Fast & Furious 10. Considering how they’ve taken on even bigger problems than tanks by now, it wouldn’t out of the realm of possibility for this to happen within the canon.

8 That’s A No, Cuz

Roman has always been the go-to guy for funny quotes and one-liners, and he was at his peak in this aspect in his debut appearance in 2 Fast 2 Furious. This meme brings back the young Roman who isn’t happy at the disrespect toward his franchise.

As long as the series has been active, there have been detractors who haven’t considered the Fast & Furious movies to be all that great. To them, Roman would probably have this to say before he ejected them off his car for annoying him.

7 Dom As Mona Lisa

It may just be a matter of time before the series goes into time travel territory as well, with the Back to the Future route possible since it involves using a car. According to this meme, Dom did attempt to do just that and this caused widespread ramifications on Earth.

As it happened, Dom ended up becoming the new Mona Lisa, as the DeLorean he drove was a bit too fast and furious. With the series already taking things to space in F9, perhaps time travel just might be within its reach as well.

6 Every Single Time

Whenever a new villain is introduced in an installment, that character is made out to be the real deal who’s nigh-unstoppable. However, they end up getting nerfed by the next movie, or their heroic turn causes them to lose their dominant streak.

This was the case with Luke Hobbs, who was a real threat in Fast Five, only to be dispatched relatively easily in subsequent movies, with Furious 7 landing him in the hospital. It was the case with Shaw as well in The Fate of the Furious, along with Cipher who was imprisoned for the entirety of F9.

5 Bye Bye Physics

It doesn’t matter how expensive or costly the cars in the series are, as they will most definitely be getting wrecked when all is said and done. However, these cars go out with a bang by delivering awesome entertainment value, which sees them take to the skies.

Dom has the habit of driving his vehicles off just about anything, from cliffs to buildings and every kind of steep incline, and this meme points out that the assumption of cars not flying doesn’t apply to the Fast & Furious movies.

4 This Needs To Be The Title

An exciting aspect of the series is the creative way the film titles are chosen, with every movie having a unique one that often references the number of the film in the franchise. F9 has gone simple with its naming, alluding to nine characters who are considered as the main focus. This meme suggests the tenth movie makes its title out of puns.

All things considered, it would certainly be a hilarious but intelligent choice if the studio goes for Fast 10: The Furious, as it gets the job done in communicating the theme of the series. What’s more, the tagline is even better at driving this point home.

3 No Going Back

By now, it’s very clear that the Fast & Furious series will never go back to how it started, as the street racing aspect was too niche and didn’t appeal to everyone. Fast Five was successful in transitioning the movies to action-adventure including cars, and the subsequent worldwide popularity confirms this.

Still, with as many as nine movies now having been released, it’s plausible that the studio may be running out of ideas, although suggesting going back to racing is absolutely out of the question. This meme should be the best way for fans to know just why the original style won’t be coming back.

2 Vin Diesel’s Catchphrase

It’s actually quite heartwarming how the Fast & Furious franchise’s inherent theme is that of valuing family, as Dom places the safety of his surrogate family as his top priority. However, this has had the side effect of turning “family” into Vin Diesel’s catchphrase.

This meme pokes fun at Diesel’s attachment to the “family” word, joking that he’s likely to get into character as Dom and race over to whichever movie he hears even mentions his favorite word. Then again, this formula has attained great success for the actor and the Fast & Furious brand, so Diesel might be onto something here.

1 Bean Did It Better

It’s certain that a Fast & Furious movie will be featuring the protagonists looking cool behind the wheel at some point, with every entry bringing this aspect onscreen. The creator of this meme jokes that Mr. Bean deserves to be among these legends, as he managed an incredible feat of steering his vehicle as well.

Of course, the real joke is how the Fast & Furious protagonists are so adept at looking so impressive while driving, but it’s a fact that this works, as fans love the shots of the characters getting into gear before the race begins.
