Will Smith became perfect meme fodder after the 2022 Oscars. The slap heard around the world is one of the most shocking and hilarious moments in Academy Award history. For anyone living under a rock (pun intended), Will Smith took offense to a joke host and comedian Chris Rock made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith having no hair. Instead of laughing along and ignoring the crack, Will Smith got up out of his seat, approached Chris Rock, and slapped him on live television. It’s an incredible moment that is still reverberating around the world months later. It was all over social media and resulted in a raft of hilarious Will Smith Memes. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and even Tik Tok started making fun of the incident. 

Now we in no way condone violence and believe Smith should have to answer for his actions, but we also believe you can still have a laugh at the situation. This is something the majority of people on the internet also agree with. There have been hundreds of memes about the incident that not only make fun of Smith and Rock but relate to other issues and events. So if you’re still not over Smith slapping Rock, read on and enjoy these 20 hilarious Will Smith Memes. 

1. Please Don’t Leave Me

This meme goes straight for the jugular. It proposes that after Chris Rock made his GI Jane (sorry Demi Moore) quip and Will Smith laughed along, he got the side-eye from Jada Smith who reminded him about her previous affair that went viral. That’s the reason he got up and slapped poor old Chris Rock. So Jada wouldn’t leave him. Ouch. 

2. Hold My Beer

When you out Kanye Kanye, you know you are doing something wrong. King Richard needs to settle down and leave Chris Rock alone.
