If you have spent significant time with old people, you know that there are a million Westerns on TV at any given time. While the genre has fallen out of fashion, it dominated the film industry for its first 50 years. In the silent era, one out of every five movies were Westerns. It's difficult to overstate the impact of the genre.

With Westerns came a million cowboy characters with giant cowboy hats. My friends and I recently watched a bunch of cheaply made westerns from the 30s, all with the word "Texas" in the title. I don't know why Paramount+ has all of these films at their disposal, but I'm not asking questions. All of these flicks were shot so poorly the camera cut off every single cowboy's giant cowboy hat. Even if they aren't the best movies in the world, almost all westerns have some rad cowboy characters we can all root for (to an extent). If you love westerns despite some of their more problematic aspects, these cowboy memes will make you say, "yehaw!"
