The Lorax (2012) could be considered one of the most memed movies of the past ten years. If you’re thinking, «what? I haven’t seen many Lorax memes before?» you’re one of the lucky ones. Let’s just say Tumblr had a field day with the protagonist of The Lorax: not the titular Lorax, but the Onceler. In the film adaptation, the Onceler is not simply some recluse old man who warns children about not destroying trees. Instead, he’s a hot guy with an emo haircut. If you’re really that curious about the Onceler fandom, google Oncest. You’ll probably be sorry you did. 

One thing The Lorax film did maintain was the Thneed. The Onceler invented the Thneed, which was made out of the wooly material growing on the Truffula trees. The Thneed was a versatile scarf-like piece of fabric that could be transformed into virtually any clothing item. 

A TikToker was able to use her Thneed-esque scarf to create a variety of clothing items, driving home the fact that everybody needs a thneed.
