There are more than 50 shades of grey. This meme proves it.

Just in time for this weekend's release of Fifty Shades of Grey, the internet has invented a meme based on the trailer.

(First, some background, in case you don't know anything about the book: The plot is your basic "girl meets boy who's into S&M, and he teaches her how to be kinky" story.)

In the trailer, we see the moment Christian Grey reveals his bondage room to the young, innocent Ana. "I don't do romance," he tells her. "My tastes are very … singular. You wouldn't understand."

"Enlighten me, then," Ana replies.

The punchline is the thing that Grey shows Ana. In the book/film, he shows her his S&M room. In the meme, that idea is turned into a joke, with Grey showing his partner unconventional ideas of a different variety.

For example:

Get it? It's funny because, like, My Little Ponies aren't kinky most of the time.

Here are a few more examples:

So show me ...

So show me ...

So show me ...

So show me ...

So show me ...

Most of them kind of make sense. But some of them — well:

Fifty Shades of Grey is out in theaters February 13.
