Reading everything that's going on in the world is a bummer. So's pretty much everything else. At least we have memes.

We've been documenting celebrity doppelgangers for a long time, but these parody tweets have taken matters into their own hands. From Sly Stallone and his grimacing bell pepper, to Eminem and...M&Ms, these oft-silly memes are shedding light on some serious twinning. And we like it.
For today's Throwback Thursday meme spotlight we're looking at a meme that became popular back in 2015. Twitter user @lanyardigan posted a photo of a raccoon cradling a cat (sadly, photoshopped) with the caption "Please. My wife. She's very sick." The amusing photo DOES make it look like the raccoon is seeking medical attention for the cat.
Since the tweet was posted, people have been making memes in the same style, featuring a variety of animals, Donald Trump, and one of our #1 meme subjects - Guy Fieri. Here's a selection of our favorites.
Host Steve Harvey accidentally gave the win to the wrong girl at the 2015 Miss Universe pageant. After misreading his cue cards, Harvey initially announced Miss Colombia as the winner, then had to return to the stage and crown the real winner, Miss Philippines. Once the moment was over, he hastily tweeted this response (now deleted), in which he misspelled the name of both countries.

That moment when you're crowned #MissUniverse2015 and then you're not. 😂😂😂 So wrong on so many levels. pic.twitter.com/VS9MxiImSU
