It rarely happens that a film becomes a huge hype even before its release. But currently, the entire world is going crazy over the release of 2 massive productions. One is Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie starrer Barbie, and another one is Christopher Nolan’s creation, Oppenheimer. While these two films are creating a strong vibration around them, Warner Bros. brought in 2 characters from a famous sitcom, Friends, asking for tickets for the Greta Gerwig film.

The ’90s sitcom, Friends, is about 6 friends living together and going through thick and thin together. While Ross-Rachel and Chandler-Monica were lauded for their romantic entanglements, Joey and Phoebe were celebrated for their steadfast and enduring friendship. Now, the recently released films, Oppenheimer and Barbie are the vibe of the time. And some fans of the show can not stop cherishing the imaginative scenario. Warner Bros.’s Twitter account posted a picture of Joey and Phoebe asking for 2 tickets to the Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie film. 

In the show, Phoebe was savage, and Joey was unapologetically pure-hearted. Seeing these two asking for the tickets to the film made fans go on a nostalgic ride. They could not stop expressing their excitement. Also, it did not take time for Oppenheimer fans to jump into the comment section and defend the movie over Barbie.

Fans hype over Warner Bros. Barbie meme while going on a nostalgic ride with Friends

Not only celebrities, but the production studio has also joined the meme game. This unexpected collaboration of Friends with this much-hyped film has made fans uncontrollably thrilled. Some fans even said Joey and Phoebe were Ken and Barbie. One of them even mentioned the other names they went by in the show: Ken Adams and Regina Phalange. And the war between Barbie and Oppenheimer broke out.

Taking the nostalgic ride back in time, fans also remembered other characters and said they would watch the Cillian Murphy starrer movie.

A couple of fans also became emotional over this age-old picture from their favorite show.

Despite the two films belonging to totally different genres, fans can not stop talking about Barbie and Oppenheimer together. One of the major reasons is both films have A-listed stars. Moreover, both films hit the theaters on the same day. Therefore, despite having separate fan bases for both movies, stars could not do anything but face the ongoing online war. Because of these clashes, fans have circulated the hashtag #Barbenheimer with a meme. It has taken over the internet. Not only did the stars of the Barbie film react to this, but they also had a good laugh about it.

While both these films are making fans extremely excited, which one are you going to watch? Also, share your feelings about the Warner Bros. Friends meme in the comments below.
