The Best Baby Yoda Memes, These Are

Some internet users have derided Disney+ for being a corporatist streaming service, monetizing nostalgia and childhood classics for enormous profit.

But even the biggest Disney haters can’t deny that Baby Yoda is cute as heck.

The character comes from The Mandolorian, Disney+’s new series about a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe. The show takes place post-empire, so the baby whatever-species-this-is isn’t actually baby Yoda. But the little green fella has taken the internet by storm, prompting memes, stories and even whole Twitter accounts. Some might argue Baby Yoda alone makes it worth signing up for Disney+.

We don’t know about all that. But we know good memes when we see ’em. Here are the best Baby Yoda memes (and jokes) out there.
