Is That Kurt Hummel From Glee?
The most popular meme template from Dune: Part Two features the faithful Fremen Stilgar, who strongly believes in the prophecies surrounding the Lisan al Gaib. Stilgar often guided fellow believers by pointing out instances where Paul Atreides' actions aligned with the legends. This was a common occurrence. In this meme, @vince_martella captures the essence of Stilgar's spirit and humorously combines it with a picture of Timothée Chalamet, resulting in a truly hilarious creation.

American Pie Sandworm Crossover
@emmylanepotter noticed an interesting connection between Villeneuve's Dune and other movies and shows. The soundtrack of Dune: Part Two is captivating and atmospheric, featuring beautiful raspy vocals. Interestingly, these vocals bear a striking resemblance to Kurt Hummel from Glee. For fans of Glee watching Dune: Part Two, this comparison will definitely leave a lasting impression.

The Dune Experience
Then, for those Dune fans familiar with the American Pie movies, @doblu's meme will be instantly understood. Others can search "American Pie Apple Pie Scene" for context, but be careful. The sandworm popcorn bucket has been popular online, but this meme adds a new twist.

"I'm Dune My Part Too"
In addition to the viral success of Dune, there was a story that caught everyone's attention in the UK called "Willy's Chocolate Experience." The event, which was supposed to be a tribute to Willy Wonka, ended up being a complete disaster. This meme connects to Timothee Chalamet's recent role in the Wonka movie and has multiple levels of humor. From the AI-generated images of the event to the actual disappointment, it perfectly pays tribute to both Dune and Willy's Chocolate Experience.

He Is The One, The Pickle Says It's So
Of course, we had to include the low-hanging fruit that is a play on the movie's title in this listing. It's simple and brilliantly effective, referencing a moment from Dune: Part Two between Paul and Chani (Zendaya). This meme is easy to understand and will likely cause a grudging chuckle. And it's not the only entry that plays on the movie's title either.

Timothée Chalamet's Diverse Talents
Back to Stilgar for a moment. As mentioned above, this template is easily the most popular online with many people using it to create cutting commentaries. Here, the joke focuses on Paul taking an everyday task, and Stilgar using that as yet another excuse to suggest his status as the savior of Arrakis. To be fair to Stilgar, the pickle jar was probably really tight, so anyone who opened it would have to be something special...

A Whole New Genre
Denis Villeneuve really pushed the boundaries when it came to the breathtaking visuals in Dune: Part Two, and the result was truly impressive. Each scene is like a masterpiece, capturing your attention with its beauty. One particular moment stands out, as the hero is shown in silhouette getting ready for an epic final battle. However, instead of facing Feyd-Rautha (played by Austin Butler), Paul is preparing to take on another formidable opponent, one of Timothée Chalamet's own characters, Wonka.

X user @itsokmeghan may be the one who created this very specific list on Letterboxd, as the name Meg is mentioned on both profiles. Regardless, this connection is spot on. In a scene from Dune: Part Two, Paul Atreides asks the Emperor to give him his daughters' hand in marriage, aiming to gain control of the Empire. This moment has similarities with Greta Gerwig's Little Women. If you're interested in movies with this theme, there are plenty to explore for an afternoon of entertainment.

This One's For The Rebels
With Austin Butler portraying the remarkable antagonist Feyd-Rautha alongside Chalamet's Paul, the dynamic was set to be captivating. However, following Butler's role in Elvis propelling him to newfound fame, it's striking to witness his transformation in Dune: Part Two. The striking contrast may be accentuated by the stunning black and white scenes, as noted by a Letterboxd reviewer who perfectly captured this observation.

A Scene Straight Out of Dune: Part Two
No one should be using their phones in a theater, especially to take photos or videos of the movie. However, there was one exception caught on camera. As Paul motivates his team to battle the evil forces on Arrakis, a member of the audience was truly embracing the spirit of the war cry. Just like a soldier showing respect to his captain, this man stands tall and salutes Paul as he embarks on his journey to war.

No Need To Feel Ashamed
Stilgar is the standout character in Dune: Part Two, known for his unwavering belief in the Lisan al Gaib prophecy. Despite the humorous take by @heavyspoilers, this is a true depiction of a moment in the movie. Stilgar's faith in the prophecy only grows stronger with each action taken by Paul Atreides, reinforcing the legend that is deeply rooted in Fremen history. Even with doubts raised, Stilgar remains steadfast in his devotion to the prophecy.

"How You Dune?"
Dune: Part Two offers a unique cinematic experience that stands out from recent films. While movies like Avatar: The Way of Water were visually impressive, they did not have the same groundbreaking impact as the original 2009 movie. However, Dune: Part Two is a different story. Director Villeneuve went all out to create a true masterpiece with this sequel. If you have the chance, make sure to catch this movie in theaters and opt for the IMAX experience for the best viewing experience.

Stilgar Math
The title wordplay makes a comeback, and this time, it's even more entertaining. By mixing Joey Tribbiani's famous catchphrase from Friends with the title and a creatively edited movie poster for Dune, things take a quirky turn, resulting in a hilarious outcome. The only improvement that could have been made to this meme is aligning the font style more closely with the title, but it's still a hilarious creation as it stands.

When Your Guy Proposes To Another Girl After Saying He Loves You
With all the buzz surrounding girl math and similar viral trends, this meme fits right in. It shows Paul Atreides using the playground calculator trick that is popular among pre-teens. Stilgar, once again, sees Paul as the chosen one. There may be some truth to his belief in Paul's destiny.

Just when it seems like Chani is starting to forgive him, Paul surprises everyone by proposing to Princess Irulan, the emperor's daughter. This proposal not only reveals Paul's true intentions of gaining power over the Empire and the great houses, but also deeply affects Chani, the person he has been building a life with on Arrakis. A meme perfectly captures this pivotal moment from Dune: Part Two, adding a touch of humor to the intense scene.
