On Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talk show, she often surprises people with a heartwarming present: an 11-year old singer got a visit from Idina Menzel, a "funky white sister" got to perform Work It with Missy Elliott, a pair of mother and daughter superfans got a trip to Los Angeles to see a taping of the show - you get the idea.

The segments make for captivating television, and now they've inspired a hilarious meme: Twitter users imagine themselves as guests on Ellen's show, where they express their deepest desire. No matter how dark or gruesome, she grants their wish like a benevolent god, and they tear up with gratitude. Here are some highlights:

Drown your sorrows

Congratulations!

Go ahead and shake hands

Wonder if he'll apologize for Song Of The South

Therapy is important

iT wAs aN iNsIdE jOb

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

Who's hungry?

"That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die"

"Scientists are liars!" - anti-vaxxers, probably

Gotta collect them all

Justice at last

Won't kill Princess Leia though

It's getting meta

She has powers we don't understand

Just don't bring out Mater

I knew it!

Ellen has not publicly acknowledged the meme yet, but she must be aware of it, as an omniscient, magical being. Bring forth the Old Ones!
