Internet Turned eBay's Celebrity Charity Auction Into an Unhinged Meme Fest
The stars may even get some inspiration.
With the Los Angeles Writers and Actors Strike still in effect, many union members are losing not only their base income but also their health insurance, which is essential to receiving any type of medical care in the United States.
While there are already some charities set up to help these people cover their health expenses, recently some celebrity actors and writers decided to partner with eBay for a charity auction to help raise funds.
Although the original auction items were pretty bizarre, with Natasha Lyonne helping you solve the crossword puzzle and Lena Dunham painting a mural in your house, the Internet took it to another level with some top-notch memes.
Now, if a celebrity decides to take part in the auction, there will be no shortage of ideas for them, as fans have taken it upon themselves to come up with the most bizarre and outrageous prompts ever seen.
From Glee 's Jonathan Groff singing Bohemian Rhapsody during childbirth as an homage to the show's infamous scene, to a Succession- style degradation session with J. Smith-Cameron, it turns out there are a lot of things the Internet is willing to borrow and rob banks for.
After the runaway success of Oppenheimer, people are willing to donate to have a staring contest with Cillian Murphy. Another Hollywood A-lister, Anne Hathaway, could've made a fortune by having a 20-minute Zoom call with her Princess Diary co-star Chris Pine as the Queen and Prince Consort of Genovia.
Chris Pine could also help the foundation quite a lot by himself, by enlightening the nosy viewers on Don’t Worry Darling’s behind-the-scenes drama.
The stars of TV series would be just as welcome at the auction. Gerri Kellman-inspired sexual fantasies aside, fans would love Game of Thrones ' Hannah Waddingham to follow someone around shouting "Shame!" and X-Files' Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny to tell them the exact history of their complicated relationship.
Whether any of these made-up lots can actually serve as an inspiration for some real-life additions to the list, we’ll have to wait and see. However, celebrities must be cautious: you’ll never know how weird the internet can get with just a slight possibility of manipulating others.
