I think that one of the weirdest memes we’ve got going right now is celebrity impersonators doing dramatic readings while in character. Obviously, Morgan Freeman is at the top of the list here. Above, impressionist Joseph Scales channels Freeman for Everyone Poops and delivers his monologue into a no-frills tilty webcam. Scales rose to Reddit fame after re-creating a Shawshank Redemption monologue, and although his mimicry is pretty awesome, I always wonder if there’s a better way to use it. Dear super human soundboards: With great power comes great responsibility. Everybody Poops is old news. The question is, does anyone not vomit? There must be a few people. Find them. Let’s hear their story. Record it as Susan Sarandon.

- “She sped into the giant pink room and told us to make cupcakes. There was no food in sight. I opened the kitchen drawers and found spoons and forks hidden in see-through plastic boxes. I tried to take off the lid, but they were sealed tight. Leila showed me a screen on the kitchen counter — by making cupcakes, she meant tapping touchscreens to create digital baked goods.” — Inside Barbie’s Dream House

- Everything about this is the worst. The words “owner” and “fake baby” make me wonder if this is some kind of re-born or android. Are all babies fake if they don’t come out of celebrities? Are we real, or are we all just animatronic bears in Kris Jenner’s solipsistic universe, singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and shivering at the apex of a (K)nightmare?
