18-year-old Theo Karras unwittingly became an internet celebrity a few days ago after his sister shared a video featuring his impressive Shrek-impersonating skills. The video, in which the siblings were entertaining themselves during a long car trip, features Theo reciting Shrek and Donkey's first meeting word for word. The teen, who is unsurprisingly involved in theater, would make Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy very, very proud. 

Theo's talents have been particularly popular on Twitter, where many girls and women have proclaimed him the perfect man. While he has been enjoying the attention, he took to Twitter to explain that he is overwhelmed - and also amused - by his newfound fame. "Idk if I'm upset for becoming know as the guy who recites Shrek." Well, Theo. There are definitely far worse reasons to become famous. Embrace your ogre-ly fame and keep on Shrek Bae-ing.

There are some things in life that money can buy. For everything else, there's memes.

This bizarre, dank, and often deep-fried meme leaves us with a lot of questions:

1. Why would someone want to 'shop Youtuber/video game commentator Markiplier with Lord Farquaad from Shrek?
2. Why the letter E?
3. Why did people start to blend this meme with the Zuckerberg trials?
4. Finally, WHY is this meme still going since its creation in April?

These questions kind of prove the point the first 'Markiplier E' memes were trying to make. The first examples fall into the Memes Then/Memes Now category. The heavily distorted and arguably hideous 'shops really do make the contrast between current memedom and the Impact memes of yore extra palpable. But that doesn't mean we really "get" these memes at all. 

SomeBODY once told me Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

A clueless (some may say optimistic) sorority girl unintentionally spawned our new favorite twitter meme after tweeting a vision of her "best life." The idyllic tweet from Mallori Taylor represents what can only be described as a white co-ed's version of the American Dream:

"LADIES imagine this, it's 15 years from now—your son is up to bat, your husband is the hot 3rd base coach, your little girl is cheering on her big brother at the fence,&you are team mom, taking pics with a fancy camera,&keeping the scorebook 

THAT WOULD BE LIVING MY BEST LIFE"

Cue John Fogerty's "Centerfield." 

Mallori's tweet went viral after two days, after which Twitter users began making fun of her relatively normie "best life." Here are some of our favorite jabby, pop-culture reference-filled responses.

Congratulations are in order for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! The duo said their vows on Saturday and people from all over the world tuned into their tellies to witness the high profile occasion. While we appreciate a public declaration of love as much as the next sap, you know we're really in it for the memes. And this couple's wedding has definitely delivered.
