Guy Fieri as Buzz Lightyear Meme Goes Viral

By Spencer Perry

It did not take long after the release of the first teaser trailer of Pixar's Lightyear for the memes to start rolling in, much like how Guy Fieri rolls out across America to check out all of the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives that he hits. Now these worlds have collided though after the official dank meme account Flavortown posted an edit of Disney-Pixar's Space Ranger as none other than the Mayor himself. The image very quickly went viral, as all Fieri-themed memes tend to, and as of this writing has 22k Retweets and nearly 150k likes on the platform. You can find it below along with some of the best reactions to the meme.

As for Lightyear, the new film isn't exactly a spinoff of Toy Story but rather a meta-movie that tells the story of the real Buzz Lightyear, the one the toy is based on. Captain America himself Chris Evans will lend his voice to the character, replacing Tim Allen."The phrase 'a dream come true' gets thrown around a lot, but I've never meant it more in my life," Evans said in a statement. "Anyone who knows me knows that my love for animated films runs deep. I can't believe that I get to be a part of the Pixar family and work with these truly brilliant artists who tell stories unlike anyone else. Watching them work is nothing short of magic. I pinch myself every day."
