Celebrity impersonators are cool and everything, but sometimes they try a little too hard (no offense). Isn't it way more fun to see some ordinary schmo minding their own business at the bus stop, looking exactly like a bootleg Tony Stark? r/WalmartCelebrities is a hilarious goldmine of off-brand celebrity doppelgängers caught in the wild. If you haven't already checked out the subreddit, it's your lucky day because we've collected our favorite examples of funny lookalikes and human puns.

Ever wish you could see what kind of casual and mundane things the Avengers get into when they're not saving the world? Well now you can. Sort of. Marvel doppelgängers have started a wholesome new trend on TikTok that initially splintered off from one Scarlett Johansson lookalike's videos in which she enjoys some tasty food to the tune of 'Leave the Door Open' by Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak. What started as a simple duet between Black Widow and Hawkeye evolved into a multiverse of bizarro Avengers virtually eating lunch together. Maybe in a few days we'll get to see the entire cast in a single TikTok!

How is it that Lil Nas X has sharper comedic timing while playing four different characters in a two-minute clip than most crappy massive-budget Hollywood comedies that come out these days? The young rapper can simply do no wrong, even when he's simultaneously committing heresy and copyright infringement. If you have no idea what we're talking about, let's bring you up to speed. In March, Lil Nas X launched a highly controversial pair of 'Satan Shoes' adorned with pentagrams and human blood. The shoes looked a whole lot like Nike's Air Max 97s, which caused the footwear behemoth to file a copyright infringement lawsuit against the bold rapper. On top of the legal dispute, religious zealots unsurprisingly showed up with their pitchforks. None of this discouraged Lil Nas X. In fact, he responded by trolling his haters with a fake 'apology video' that ends in the rapper seducing, killing and taking the place of the devil. On March 27, Lil Nas X tweeted, 'I spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the sh*t y'all preached would happen to me because I was gay. So I hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.'
All of this puts Lil Nas X's latest antics into context—a satirical video promoting his new Kanye-produced single 'Industry Baby.' In the brilliant video, Lil Nas X plays himself, his attorney, the prosecutor and the judge.
Since the video was posted, fans have overwhelmingly applauded Lil Nas X's unparalleled marketing instincts. From 'Old Town Road' to his bizarre and demonic Nike spinoffs—the guy has a knack for breaking the internet. We can't wait to see where the 22-year-old artist takes us next.
It's can be to not idolize big celebrities and obsess over certain brands. Sometimes they can be so damn talented and lovable. But you can't help but get a little disappointed when you realize they're not actually all that relatable. Some people have been famous for so long that they become irreversibly removed from regular society, and there's will just be very instances where you look at their Tweets and go, "Omg, me." That's showbiz baby.
Beauty isn't about being perfect; beauty is found in each person's uniqueness and what makes them, well, them. That goes for everyone, celebrity or not. But celebrities are under microscopic inspection from the general public regarding their physical appearance, and they are held to higher standards of beauty, which are often unrealistic. This isn't their fault necessarily; let's blame Hollywood, photoshop, and the entire beauty industry, which feeds off the insecurities of the human psyche. But that's a different discussion. For now, let's focus on photoshop, which can (scarily) change someone's whole appearance with the slightest brush of a pen. These celebrities' pictures show how different they would look like when their unique facial features are edited or removed completely. They show how much of a difference our differences make, and how our quirks make us beautiful.

Who's ready to get thirsty on this fine Thirsty Thursday, the wonderful day of the week in which the Cheezcake ladies pick a hot male celeb to desperately yearn for? Last week, we were all over Spiderman's Tom Holland and his newfound relationship with Zendaya, but this week, we're all over another dude that also happened to be Zendaya's love interest IRL once upon a time - Jacob Elordi. Just like Zendaya, he was also featured in the teen drama show Euphoria, as well as Netflix's Kissing Booth franchise. Since Netflix just announced that the first and final installment of The Kissing Booth is coming out this August, Elordi has been trending all over Twitter, mostly because people feel bad that he still has to participate in the terrible fan-fic franchise. Even though his specialty seems to be playing the toxic boyfriend in both Euphoria and The Kissing Booth, he's allegedly super sweet and sexy in real life, and that's why people just can't stop obsessing over him. Have a look at the thirst tweets below.

Woody Harrelson is just one of those guys that can't be bothered to keep up with some of the details that the rest of society deems important and/or common sense. In this case, the detail happens to be the fact that Liam Hemsworth is brothers with Chris Hemsworth. You'd think that connecting the dots on that one wouldn't have been too much of a stretch, but alas, here we are.
It sure is nice to think about the possibility of there being someone somewhere across the world who looks exactly like you. It happens all the time that we mistake certain celebs for someone else like Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry. Side note: if you haven't googled a side-by-side of them yet, we highly recommend it, it even blew Perry's mind. Who knows if the rest of us will be as lucky in discovering our doppelgangers, but it may just be that they've already been animated.
On Twitter, people can't stop pointing out how similar these 'Cars' characters look to certain celebs, and it is thoroughly entertaining.

Here we are at another Thirsty Thursday when the Cheezcake ladies choose a hot male celeb to yearn over. Last week, we were drooling over Charlie Puth and his silky smooth voice, but every week brings a new man into our lives. Actor Tom Holland has been on our radar ever since he played Spiderman, but he's been thrust into the limelight once again thanks to pictures of him and Zendaya kissing! Yes, he seems to be taken, but that doesn't mean the Twitter community can't yearn for him from afar. Scroll down for this week's thirstiest tweets about our boy Tom
Many of us never get the chance to meet our idols, and it's probably for the best. It's so easy to idolize some celebrity that is a talented actor, singer, sports player, but that doesn't mean they're any good at small talk. Some of the most powerful people in the world could still be socially awkward, so none of us should feel self-conscious about our introverted ways. Here are some wholesome, yet weird AF interactions people had with celebs which might prove that we 'regular people' might be the more charismatic ones after all.
There's always that person in your life that you hate with a passion, but you can't exactly put your finger on why. Their face just bothers you, and that's it. Yes, we're trying to spread love, but sometimes you can't help being hateful. Obvs, the same goes for celebs. Considering their faces are shoved into our faces on a daily basis wherever we look, we're bound to hate some of them for no reason. In a recent Reddit thread, people aired all their grievances with particular celebs that they admit they hate for no reason. Let us know if any of these make sense to you in the comments.

We can't help thirsting over this one, and neither can Twitter. Scroll down for the best tweets celebrating Charlie Puth from this week.

'Iconoclast. Lover of women, adventure and mystery. Founder of McAfee Anti-virus.' This is how cybersecurity legend John McAfee defined himself. In life, he was an absolute maniac. In death, he's still breaking the internet.
McAfee never had a normal life. When he was just a kid, his father died by suicide. By the time he was a young adult, he took DMT while working at the Missouri Pacific Railroad and admitted to Wired Magazine that he'd felt like he was on the verge of a breakdown from then on. He continued abusing hard drugs and alcohol throughout adulthood as he accelerated his career in the computer software industry. Later in life, after McAfee cleaned himself up a bit, resigned from McAfee Anti-Virus and sold all his shares, the real insanity began.
In the aughts, McAfee moved to Belize to pursue business opportunities in antibiotics, but according to Wired, he rapidly grew paranoid in Belize, convinced that people were constantly watching him. He got really into the idea that he could achieve immortality through 'quantum suicide.' Eventually, he realized he had completely severed ties with 'society.'
"My fragile connection with the world of polite society has, without a doubt, been severed," he wrote. "My attire would rank me among the worst-dressed Tijuana panhandlers. My hygiene is no better. Yesterday, for the first time, I urinated in public, in broad daylight." (Source: Wired)
In 2012, McAfee was questioned by Belize authorities for the death of his neighbor Gregory Faull. He fled to Guatemala soon after, where he was arrested on charges of illegally entry and sent back to America. His return caused a media frenzy and thus began McAfee's downward spiral into social media madness.
Whether he was a criminal or meme to you, no one can argue that he's as much an enigma in death as he was in life. As you might have heard, the cybersecurity legend was found dead in his prison cell yesterday by apparent suicide. He was awaiting extradition from Spain to the U.S.
Were his 2019 tweets about 'getting whackd' by the government sincere or were they the beginnings of an elaborate troll? Was his mysterious posthumous 'Q' Instagram post a genuine nod to QAnon or did he just want to keep us all guessing, even after his death? Don't know what the hell we're talking about? Join us on a short dive into the weird world of John McAfee.
