Ellen DeGeneres gets a dark side with the 'me on Ellen' meme
Ellen DeGeneres' on-air surprises are iconic.
From bringing Missy Elliot onto her show to sing with her "funky white sister" to introducing kids to Barack Obama, Ellen has a habit of bringing people their heroes — but it takes a dark turn with the "Me on Ellen" memes.

Twitter users imagine themselves as guests on Ellen, where the talk show hosts surprises them with exactly what they want, no matter how gruesome it might be. In one of the first versions of the meme, Ellen brought death itself on to meet Twitter user @cavedevice.
*on Ellen*
ELLEN: so i hear u tweet about wanting to die
ME: haha yeah, i do
*Death comes out, creeps up behind me*
ME: omg ellen you didnt— Iisi (@cavedevice) February 27, 2017
The meme format has been all over Twitter since last week, imagining Ellen fulfilling Twitter users' deepest, darkest wishes. It gets weird, but what good meme isn't a little nihilistic and surreal?

Ellen DeGeneres has not publicly commented on the meme. But let's be real, if you actually wanted to meet an Old God, Ellen could probably pull some strings.
