Celebs Are Turning Each Other Into Elf On The Shelf Memes, & It's Honestly Hilarious

ICYMI, Instagram is flooded with celebs turning each other into this hilarious Elf on the Shelf meme. In short, stars are sharing pics of themselves with mini versions of other celebs pasted onto their shoulders. To help catch you up, here are 30 of the best Elf on the Shelf celebrity memes that will make you literally LOL.

Elf on the Shelf memes are not totally new, as meme creators have made other hilarious takes on the children's toy before. Know Your Meme lists an Elf on the Shelf meme trend that began in 2011, followed by another variation in 2016, in which users posted the phrase, "You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for," with images of other items or people sitting on top of things. Now celebs are taking on another variation for 2020, with edited photos of themselves and a celeb that rhymes with their name.

For example, Reese Witherspoon posted a photo of herself on Instagram with a small picture of Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson from Grease for a "Grease on Reese." The rhyming is getting amazing results, like Elizabeth Banks' "Hanks on Banks" or Amy Schumer's "Schum on Klum."

It appears the trend originated on Tuesday, Dec. 1 from a Bravo fan who posted a photo of Pharrell Williams with Garcelle Beauvais from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on his shoulder. Beauvais reposted it and afterward, a slew of other celebs created their own.
