I am Groot. These three seemingly simple words hide a lot more meaning in them than many fans originally suspected. Those who saw Groot for the first time in the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) might not have immediately realized that Groot was a much more complex and intelligent alien being than it might seem.

However, it didn’t take Groot long to cement his reputation as one of the fan-favorites among the Guardians. His brave sacrifice at the end of the first film made him a true hero. And since he’s returned to the MCU, Groot has become even more popular. So much so the fans are busy making a lot of hilarious memes about everyone’s favorite talking tree.

10 Watch The Language!

Groot is such a popular member of the Guardians of the Galaxy it’s easy to forgive him for a lot of things. Including the fact that despite being a baby, he doesn’t mince his words when he feels like it. Luckily for Groot, even if Captain America was present during this scene, he might not realize what Groot was actually saying – at least until Rocket would spill the beans.

And once he did, Captain’s famous ‘Language!’ could follow. But it’s doubtful Groot would take the lesson, he just does what he wants, and that’s one of the reasons why the fans love him.

9 How Groot Dates Women

Just because Groot is a tree it doesn’t mean he can’t sometimes be a romantic. But while others have many options, Groot can’t exactly be choosy.

His repertoire is much more limited, at least for those who don’t speak the same language. In this case, the woman in question no doubt wants to hear the three magical words: I love you. But the best Groot can offer is his iconic sentence: I am Groot!

8 The Best Guardian

The second Guardians of the Galaxy film from 2017 cleverly sprinkled baby Groot throughout the whole story. And whenever baby Groot appeared, it was a cause of celebration.

But some fans believe that the film would be just as successful if baby Groot was in every single scene and the story focused mostly on him. That’s not probably such a stretch considering Groot is responsible for some of the funniest or most emotionally charged scenes of the movie.

7 How To Avoid Awkward Conversation

Groot’s seemingly limited vocabulary gives a good example of how to avoid awkward or downright unpleasant conversations with one’s relatives. All that the person needs to do is answer ‘I am Groot’ to every single question asked.

Sooner or later, the relatives will take the hint and change the topic. Unless they can speak Groot and know what each answer truly means.

6 How Groot Really Died

Groot sacrificed his life in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film in 2014 to protect his friends. But this meme shows another possible version of his demise. This time, Captain America and Iron Man mistakenly chopped Groot to pieces.

This probably won’t go well for the pair when Rocket finds out.

5 A Moment To Dance

A part of Groot’s charm is that he’s just so optimistic and happy most of the time. The initial scene of the second Guardians of the Galaxy demonstrates it well. Groot is dancing around, without a care in the world, while the rest of the team fights a giant space monster.

Not everybody can be like Groot all of the time but sometimes it feels good to emulate him and take a moment to dance it out.

4 When Groot Gets Angry

Groot is relaxed and happy most of the time. But when one of the Ravagers behaves appallingly to him and makes fun of him, Groot is quick to let his rage free when he catches up to the man in question.

But even when he yells or acts more viciously, he still manages to be more adorable than all MCU superheroes combined. That’s a true superpower.

3 The Most Lovable Hero

This meme proves what so many fans already knew – that Groot is awesome! He became an instant fan-favorite in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, even more so once he sacrificed his life to save the team.

Fans thought it might be impossible to top Groots original form but changed their minds when Groot came as baby Groot. Both Groots are incredibly loveable.

2 The Invisible Dancer

Some people don’t like it when others can see them dancing. Possibly because they’re self-conscious about their dancing ability. Groot seems to have no such issues.

He simply stops dancing when Drax looks because a) Drax doesn’t seem to like dancing, and b) Groot isn’t so fond of Drax at this point. Either way, Groot is relatable in this meme thanks to pretending he’s not dancing when somebody’s watching him.

1 How To Look Clever Online

In the modern world, it’s difficult to draw attention to one’s social media – simply because there are so many people on them! But if one wants to know how to make clever posts on social media or on blogs, this advice seems like a no-brainer.

Groot is one of the most beloved Guardians out there, so if saying the same thing over and over again works for him, it could also work for other people.
