The 'me on Ellen' meme turns Ellen's generosity into hilariously dark comedy

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:

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!
