The Lighthouse Lobster Argument

Text on the meme

You were the chosen one! It was said you be fond of me lobster, not hate it! I hate your lobster! I seen it. Ye’re fond of me lobster!

What it means

A black-and-white three-panel scene from The Lighthouse shows an older bearded man confronting a younger man about his supposed love of lobster, only for the younger man to insist that he hates it. The joke parodies the dramatic “chosen one” accusation from Star Wars by replacing the subject with lobster, making it useful as an absurd reaction to someone’s contradictory opinions or exaggerated betrayal.
