Humor: 8 Chuck Norris Memes with ‘Walker Texas Ranger’ as a French Horn Player

Put briefly, memes are a virally-transmitted form of communication and interaction. Cultural symbols and pop icons are often incorporated, and a very popular one for several years has been the Chuck Norris meme.

I don’t get it. What is the joke?

It should be noted that Mr. Norris’s personal politics have little or nothing to do with this humor; the mega-Hollywood image takes center stage and politics are ignored.

And as far as I know, Chuck Norris has never touched a French horn in his life… but I could be wrong.

The point of the joke is very straightforward. It is a “what if” situation where a god-like figure is put into impossible situations. It pokes fun at the classic hero-archetype and the situations in which that hero is superimposed.

Walker, Texas Ranger

For today’s memes, the main character is taken from Norris’s television show Walker, Texas Ranger. For many years it was a highly-watched program in the United States.

To get started, let’s put a French horn in his hands. Since Walker is from the great state of Texas, the horn must be a Conn 8D.

This is a good start, but it needs a background to spice things up.

This is nice, but it is still not quite right. It does not capture the superhuman, over-the-top vibe that is typical of this humor.

OK, this is definitively an improvement. But somehow it is still not awesome enough. It needs even more punch.

Oh yeah! Now we’re in business.
