Though most Internet jokes are unlikely interesting enough to warrant a film adaptation, that hasn’t stopped Stefan Van Zoggel from creating these meme movie posters. Taking catchphrases and memorable aspects of cyberspace fads, Zoggel has rendered cinematic promos that extrapolate the premise of web sensations into potential full-fledged blockbusters. For those with a sense of humor, these posters are a must-see.
These Stefan Van Zoggel creations cover viral videos like Rebecca Black’s Friday and Double Rainbow, as well as activities like putting Mentos in Diet Coke or using a Shake Weight. They’re minimalist in design and often use silhouettes as graphics, but their point always gets across.
It’s actually quite amazing how much research Zoggel put into each poster, as he credits the appropriate people for each meme.
