The 11 Funniest Uses Of The TR-8R Meme From The Force Awakens

Despite an incredibly minor role, riot stormtrooper FN-2199 was one of the biggest winners from the most recent Star Wars release, The Force Awakens. Drawing comparisons to perennial fan favorite Boba Fett for his iconic quotability and an aura of mystery, "TR-8R" quickly became a cult hero. Shortly after the film's release, the memes followed.

1. Chosen TR-8R

TR-8R-Wan Kenobi is most displeased by this turn of events. The light is betrayed left and right in this saga, so the occasional dark-side defector seems only fair.

2. TR-8R and Robin

TR-8R slaps sense into impressionable young Robin in this meme. Oh, you also think the First Order is evil? TRAITOR!


3. TR-8R 8 Minutes

This meme stands out for one quirky reason: it removes everything that originally made the "8 minutes since..." meme funny. Gone is the agonized boy in the foreground, replaced by TR-8R. This is creative stuff.


4. TR-8R Joe's

"Traitor" sounds like "Trader." Nothing about this is especially clever, but the Pun Force calls to you. Let it in.

5. Traitors HATE him!

There is no escape from Internet advertisement, or from TR-8R. The beauty of this meme is in the format, but bonus points are awarded for GIF variants incorporating sick spins.

6. FaceTime with TR-8R

I cannot make sense of this meme. It is nonetheless hilarious. "Spinny trooper," indeed.

7. TR-8R, Raider, Same Difference


We are officially mixing our Harrison Ford metaphors freely. Incorporating a movie poster, a franchise cross-reference, Jar-Jar Binks, and no fewer than four traitors, this meme makes a strong case for the best of them all.

8. Fridge TR-8R

Fridge raiders? More like fridge TRAITORS. Food and the First Order are sacred trusts.

9. TR-8R Intensifies

Nothing more clumsily expresses what goes on in media than an audio descriptive. If you can't listen to the film at full volume, you probably shouldn't bother watching the rest.

10. TR-8R Was There

Know Your Meme traces the origin of the panel spread in this meme to the now-infamous Left Shark. Some say TR-8R's version is properly titled "Left Spin."

11. TR-8R Never Studies

Covert. You sure fooled them, TR-8R; this is a better use of your time anyway.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
