SAN FRANCISCO -- Take the NBA's most popular team, some dorky photos and perhaps a secret ingredient-- the evening hours of a national pot-smoking holiday--and what do you get?

So many jokes. 

A perfect storm of comedy touched down in the Bay Area spontaneously on Wednesday night after the defending champion Golden State Warriors participated in a newspaper fashion shoot.

We'll get to the memes -- God bless the memes -- but first let's set the context. 

On Wednesday afternoon, the San Francisco Chronicle published a piece online in which the newspaper took a look at each Warrior's personal style. It's a stylish package involving a lot of hard work by a lot of people. 

It's also great joke fodder. 

The Chronicle piece features a posed full-body shot of each Warriors player, images which are supposed to give readers a sense of each guy's "personal style off the court."

But those posed photos are just begging for snarky commentary.

Here are some of our favorite riffs. 

1. The whole team

2. The whole team, again

3. Marreese Speights

4. Klay Thompson

5. Klay Thompson, again

6. Draymond Green

7. Anderson Verajao

8. Festus Ezeli

9. Shaun Livingston

10. Brandon Rush

Standing ovation, everyone. Just a phenomenal effort all around. 

The Warriors continue their NBA Playoffs series against the Houston Rockets on Thursday night at 9:30 p.m. EST.
