Parodies of Ellen's Oscar selfie take over the internet

Last Sunday, Ellen DeGeneres tweeted a selfie from the Oscars. With over 3.2 million retweets, you've probably already seen it.

It fast became the most retweeted tweet of all time, smashing the previous record set by @BarackObama.

There has been a lot of bandwagon-jumping since the post went viral, with various accounts posting their own version of the image.

The most popular parody was created by The Simpsons, seen above, featuring caricatures of the celebrities featured in the original pic.

Not to be outdone, a Lego version soon followed.

On home soil, RTÉ 2fm staged a shoot with the final result posted by broadcaster Rick O'Shea.

One of the most popular variation, however, comes from Texan Terry Shipman. Two days ago, Terry posted a selfie with his two adorable dogs in a bid to break the record set by Ellen DeGeneres. He had 20 followers.

After the post went viral yesterday though, Terry picked up an additional five thousand followers, and his ambitious snap has been retweeted over 100,000 times.
