This year, Jimmy Kimmel has taken to the vast and funny realm of Internet memes as inspiration for his Oscar Specials. After the “Charlie bit my finger” routine with the Hemsworth brothers and Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, it's now the turn of three other memes to get spoofed.

The first video is a reinterpretation of the “Sweet Brown” meme, also known to most as the “Ain't nobody got time for that” lady. The role is played masterfully by Queen Latifah, a woman who inspires a young Barack Obama, played by Barkhad Abdi to run for president. She also convinces Steve Jobs played by Adam Driver to name his company Apple.

As expected, Matt Damon makes an appearance that gets deleted, of course, and there is a final appearance by Sweet Brown herself uttering her famous catch phrase, while she attempts to shut Matt up.

The next video pokes fun at the famous “Keyboard Cat” video. This celebrity mash-up includes Kevin Spacey, Cristoph Waltz, Gary Oldman, Ben Kingsley, Abbie Cornish and Mandy Patinkin. Named “Ameowadeus,” the clip takes the entire story back into time. Kimmel himself makes a cameo appearance as the “dramatic chipmunk” in this tale of treachery, musical talent and mice rolling on keyboards with popcorn.

The last video is possibly the best of all, spoofing the infamous “David After the Dentist” clip. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the buck-toothed boy high on drugs from the dentist, who spaces out to see Catherine Zeta-Jones as the Tooth Fairy and Samuel L. Jackson as the evil dentist. Billed as being directed by Baz Luhrman, the video also features Seth Rogen and the Double Rainbow Dude.
