2. Sunday in the Park with Pike

   
   
   Lt. Pike goes pointillist as he steps into Georges Seurat's famous painting, "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." The clash of the peaceful, relaxed setting as a pepper spray-emitting officer in riot gear really captures the essence of this meme.

3. Strutting Leo's Gonna Hate

   
   
   The Lt. Pike meme collides with the "Strutting Leo" meme in this genuinely disturbing entry.
   

4. Pike Spices Up School Lunches

   
   
   Topical!

   1. Lt. Pike in 2012

      
      
      Some people would probably still defend this behavior. "Well, he had asked the planet to stop spinning on its axis and Earth didn't listen. What choice did he have?"

   3. Pike Makes a Declaration

      
      
      A pretty savvy political statement is made by inserting Pike into John Trumbull's famous painting, "Declaration of Independence." Note that Pike is blasting the pepper spray on to the document itself.

   4. Lt Pike Meets Chubby Bubbles Girl

      
      
      Two memes collide as Lt. Pike dispenses pepper spray right next to the adorable Chubby Bubbles Girl (aka "Chubbles"). This is not going to do anything for his reputation on the Internet.
      
      

   6. Lt. Pike Goes After Real Criminals

      
      
      Finally, a case where Lt. Pike's methods are actually justified...

   7. Gandalf the Spray... That's What They Used to Call Me...

      
      
      Guess Winter is Coming for Lt. Pike, right, guys? (Am I doing this right?)

       

      1. Having a Bad Knight

         
         
         This is why Lt. Pike rarely gets invited to official state functions. (The painting is "The Accolade" by Edmund Blair Leighton, for the curious.)

      3. Is Pike Who You Gonna Call?

         
         
         I'm not sure the Ghostbusters would actually allow Lt. Pike in. He has neither the tools nor the talent.
         
         

      4. Lt Pike is the Law

         
         
         Pike here is referencing Judge Dredd, a police officer who, in a violent futureworld, acted as judge, jury and even executioner upon encountering criminality.

      7. Pikesylvania

         
         
         Lt. Pike meets Simon Belmont in this ode to the classic video game series "Castlevania." Does pepper spray work on the undead?

          

         1. Which One's Pike?

            
            
            Trivia: If you douse your face in pepper spray and simultaneously start Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," it still totally hurts like a b***h.

         4. One if By Land, Two if By Spray

            
            
            Pike here recreates a famous drawing of Crispus Attucks, the first man shot to death by British redcoats at the Boston Massacre of 1770. Attucks has been called "the first martyr of the American Revolution."
