The 2018 soft reboot/sequel to the PlayStation God of War franchise gave fans of the long-running hack 'n slash series everything that they could ask for and more in terms of lore, gameplay, graphics, new characters, and even more on a long list of dreams coming true. However, this addition to the series introduced something past games omitted.

That addition was some of the best comedy in the God of War series and most likely the only intentional pieces of comedy as well— the older games in the series definitely had plenty of hilarious moments, none of them on purpose. A lot of these lighthearted moments were adored by fans and in classic fashion, resulted in some great memes that have joined the ranks of classic God of War jokes.

10 Dad of War

The newest God of War honestly might be the perfect Father's Day gift for any dad, as fans witnessed Kratos morphing from a simple force of nature that wanted nothing but the death of Olympus and all the Gods present, into as big a dad as any. It definitely served to make him a sympathetic character for probably the first time in the series, at least since the original.

This meme takes that transformation to the next level. Gone is all the battle equipment fans are used to seeing Kratos in. It's all been replaced with the best equipment a stereotypical dad can buy.

9 Headaches

Of course, having a son isn't all sunshine and rainbows. In the case of Kratos, it's actually the hardest job he's had, joining the storied ranks of video game dads. In fact, the job of being a father and raising a young boy alone is probably more troublesome than facing armies of superpowered beings.

This is joked about in this meme which showcases the causes of different types of headaches. Kratos is apparently in constant pain due to his son being a constant headache.

8 Zeus! I Bring You The Death Of Asgard!

Apparently Loki wanted to get things over within this meme throwing Kratos inside of the MCU film, Thor Ragnarok. With everything Kratos has faced up to his old age shown in the new God of War this might just be a cakewalk for him.

Coincidentally, one crossover that fans have always wanted to see is Kratos clashing weapons with the God of Thunder, Thor. Not one from his universe in the God of War games, but Marvel's own. This meme is probably the closest they'll get to it, though.

7 Four Shades of Kratos

One meme type that everyone is a fan of is one where they pick fun at different potential adaptations a series could receive. This one features God of War.

The best thing about these types of memes is always the interpretation of potential anime and television shows due to how far removed they tend to look in the eyes of the meme creators from the source material.

6 You Can Learn From Videogames Too

Just about everyone from the era of God of War and Percy Jackson being all the rage can relate to this meme. As soon as the teacher brings up Greece and the mythology surrounding it, these three groups are always the first to speak up from sheer excitement of finally being able to unveil their fandom power level.

To be fair, they each do somewhat teach a bit about the actual lore of Greek mythology. Not sure Kratos really was a part of that mythos in the way he was in the games though.

5 Thank You BOY

Needless to say, a lot of God of War jokes and memes revolve around both Kratos' son and, more specifically, Kratos constantly calling out "Boy" to his child.

Maybe next game he'll actually start using his son's name instead but fans both doubt it and hope that it's not the case.

4 Kratos Overreacts

The great thing about Kratos's relationship with his son is that he overreacts about so much.

This results in him yelling "BOY!" right at him, sometimes over the smallest things. Whether his son is in danger, he's made him proud, or even if he's just standing there one can be sure that Kratos is about to yell that signature word.

3 EA Is Wrong Again

EA is easily one of the most hated game companies out there due to their business practices and the controversial statements their employees sometimes make on social media. This meme not only showcases one of those controversial statements, but one game that completely disproved the sentiment behind it.

2 Does Kratos Even Know His Son's Name

This meme is definitely one that perfectly sums up Kratos and his relationship with his son. It's absolutely hilarious how tough he tries to be in front of him and how obvious it is that he calls him "BOY!" because of this. While it may seem a bit cold of him, it's very fitting and made their relationship all the more fun and charming to fans.

1 Everyone's Favorite God of War meme

Again, the "Boy" memes are everyone's favorite jokes that came from this new God of War and most likely from the entire series. This take on this joke is most likely the most popular just due to it being the perfect clash of a pre-existing meme with a new joke.
