Shrek 5's first teaser trailer was released this week,??? ?? ?? and quite predictably, it has inspired much internet discourse, from outrage over character design choices to the more typical memes and jokes.
For the not terminally online, Shrek has long inspired memes, everything from the absurd, to the silly, to the NSFW. So when the upcoming movie released its first sneak peek, of course, the memes followed.

As the internet is known to be, folks online aren't happy. Shrek 5 isn't due for release until Christmas 2026, so they've got plenty of time to rework things should the outrage continue. After all, it worked for Sonic.
