The “Tiger King” is the Meme King. If there was ever a person who lends himself to be immortalized in meme form, it’s Joe Exotic — a k a Joseph Maldonado-Passage, né Joseph Schreibvogel — of Netflix’s absurd docuseries “Tiger King,” which follows the ferocious feud between “big cat” enthusiasts and their spiral into a bungled murder-for-hire plot.
Exotic — the 57-year-old mullet-sporting roadside zookeeper (now a convicted felon) and bizarro social media sensation, to put it lightly — has become the focus of much Internet attention.
The feeding frenzy has only intensified as the seven-episode docuseries became the most streamed show on Netflix in America while many remain home in coronavirus lockdown.
