The Walking Dead season 7 is still making big waves across the pop-culture landscape – and with good reason! The show probably set a new standard for brutal and disturbing violence, while generally being a mind-screw of tension that some critics are comparing to “torture-porn.”

Well, whenever something makes THIS big of a wave, you can count on the Interwebs to Interweb, and come with some great ways to put the zeitgeist topic du jour into a humorous frame.
We present The Best Meme Reactions to The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere.
Before and After
This Meme pretty much encapsulates how most viewers felt aboutย The Walking Deadย season 7 premiere experience.ย
Extra points for the meta humor involved with having Daryl be the character depicted in the “After” photo. He did get his homeboy Glenn killed, after all…
Bad Day
The most common Meme reaction we’ve come across is some variation on the ‘really bad day’ theme.
Whether it’s Mondays, or hangovers, or just trying to get into the office after watchingย The Walking Deadย season 7 premiere… we have a feeling that this “Rick and hatchet on the RV” image is going to be the most enduring meme to come out of all this.ย
Spoiler Retaliation
We at Comicbook.com know first-hand how touchyย Walking Deadย fans are about SPOILERS.ย
It’s arguable when it qualifies as “okay” to start discussing SPOILERS on social media (when the show first airs? When it’s aired in all markets? NEVER?); however, it wouldn’t be a big, pop-culture debate without an official moral mandate fromย Game of Thrones‘ Ned Stark.ย

Coping
Some of the bestย Walking Deadย season 7 reaction tweets have focused on the idea of trying to cope with the brutal events witnessed onscreen. Fans have applied some clever .gifs and screenshots to the matter, making for many a good laugh.ย
We found this particular meme on the subject to be particularly wittyย – with extra points for some clever stylistic presentation.ย
Goonies Style
Because why not, right? You had to know from the front-page image thatย someoneย on the Internet would be making fun of Glenn’s busted up face. And this one is just… perfect.
Chunkย fromย Goonies… Soย inappropriate nowadays, yet still so classic.ย
New Day
This one is for the WWE fans out there. Everyone else: you can probably proceed to the next slide.ย
Heaven
…Oh you thought we were making it out of this without a Harambe joke?ย Clearly you don’t know these times we live in!
